perf(cake_sparse_mla): round-10 DSv4 sparse-MLA Cake programs for SM100/SM103 (stacked on #5845) by yyihuang · Pull Request #5854 · flashinfer-ai/flashinfer

yyihuang · 2026-10-01T08:19:37Z

Developed by the CAKE team, the kernels in this PR outperform the relevant SOTA baselines at the time of merge on the vast majority of performance benchmark shapes, matching them otherwise.

Summary

Round 10 of the DSv4 sparse-MLA Cake backend (backend="cake", SM100 + SM103), stacked on #5845 (round 9): regenerated cake_dsv4 program sources from Cake e3e6c27aa33 for sm_103a and sm_100a, plus the drop of the round-9 program sources they supersede. Four bit-identical kernel levers (no numerics change at all this round; one already-bound kernel scalar added to the h8/h16 bindings)

Class-O fp8 H64: split O-accumulator handshake (per-half o_full / o_empty) and a six-slot K ring with early Q release: prefill-style-000087 -8..-10 %, 000091 -8..-9 % on both arches (combined vs the round-9 program).
r39 bf16 H64 guard: mask-flag pre-decode + transposed O store: seq-lens-guard-000084 -3.1 / -3.5 %, hardening-000012 -4.0 / -4.1 %.
H/I SwapsAb h8/h16 (sm_103a): candidate index-row L2 prefetch, median -0.120 us on the 16 H/I rows on GB300; the h8/h16 bindings gain the num_query_tokens scalar the host already passes by name (no host change).

Per-variant diff vs the round-9 sources: sm_103a: 4 new programs (fp8 H64 source_exact, r39 guard, bf16 h8, fp8 h8); sm_100a: the same 4 (the two h8 programs differ by the num_query_tokens parameter only); every other exported variant byte-identical to round 9; the 16 superseded round-9 program files are dropped in the stale-drop commit.

This pull request updates generated CAKE DSv4 CUDA kernels and bindings for SM100 and SM103. It changes kernel symbols and launch paths, revises sparse-index loading and output stores, adds TMA output handling, and updates selected shared-memory pipelines and CTA schedules.

Changes

CAKE DSv4 kernels and bindings

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Generated binding and dispatch updates `csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_100a/_binding.cu`, `csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_103a/_binding.cu`	Generated kernel and namespace identifiers are updated across launchers and family dispatch bindings. Several launchers use `cudaLaunchKernel` with explicit launch arguments instead of `cudaLaunchKernelExC`.
Vectorized output and initial KV loads `csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_100a/_kernel.cu`, `csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_103a/_kernel.cu`	Several epilogues redistribute packed BF16 values across lanes and use vectorized stores with per-head bounds checks. Some kernels load KV stage 0 before their staged loops.
Sparse-index staging and active-row loading `csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_100a/_kernel.cu`, `csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_103a/_kernel.cu`, matching bindings	Page loaders prefetch and stage sparse indices, build initial page pairs from staged values, and limit KV loads and transaction sizes according to valid rows. Selected bindings and kernels add `num_query_tokens`.
TMA output descriptors and stores `csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_100a/_binding.cu`, `csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_100a/_kernel.cu`, `csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_103a/_binding.cu`, `csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_103a/_kernel.cu`	Bindings encode output tensors as 4D BF16 TMA descriptors. Corresponding kernels stage output in shared memory, issue TMA stores, and synchronize output-buffer reuse.
Multi-stage pipeline rescheduling `csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_100a/cake_dsv4_2af5289db7dd987276c6_`, `csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_103a/cake_dsv4_541fbf0e60e2cd0dc345_`	These kernels revise Q, KV, and page stage counts, shared-memory layouts, barriers, MMA lookahead, and per-output-half synchronization.
CTA-local scheduling and peer-output merge `csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_100a/cake_dsv4_d541beaafc918518fe01_`, `csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_103a/cake_dsv4_979875a69f57b1105e97_`	Each CTA processes alternating KV tiles. The kernels exchange partial output and softmax statistics through cluster shared memory, then produce merged output and LSE.
Added and removed SM103 bindings `csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_103a/cake_dsv4_e9d1e5f9339f9ee2f5f7_`, `csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_103a/cake_dsv4_f71670df2c17c343d896_`, `csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_103a/cake_dsv4_3e5a644d61420c9c7ea1_binding.cu`, `csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_103a/cake_dsv4_c967e7efe220160e28d3_binding.cu`	Two TVM-FFI bindings and matching kernels are added. The new bindings validate tensors and scalars, encode TMA descriptors, configure shared memory, and launch kernels. Two existing generated binding files are deleted.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5f80f

Several of the new sparse-MLA kernels have unguarded paths that can corrupt output. A CTA can exit while its peer copy is still reading local shared memory. The TMA output stores can overwrite neighboring queries' output when the head count is not 128. The output descriptor is never checked against the size of the output buffer. Add the cluster barrier and the host-side checks before merging.

Before / after behavior

observed — Modified behavior in csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_100a/cake_dsv4_0cd15705e6bea14f3eb6_binding.cu: The launcher comment now identifies the new Cake kernel symbol.
observed — Modified behavior in csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_100a/cake_dsv4_0cd15705e6bea14f3eb6_binding.cu: The CUDA kernel symbol and host-shim namespace are renamed; the kernel parameters are unchanged. The previous shim namespace declaration is removed.
observed — Modified behavior in csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_100a/cake_dsv4_0cd15705e6bea14f3eb6_binding.cu: The shared-memory attribute setup now targets the renamed kernel.
observed — Modified behavior in csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_100a/cake_dsv4_0cd15705e6bea14f3eb6_binding.cu: The shared-memory error message identifies the renamed kernel. Launching switches from cudaLaunchKernelExC with a cudaLaunchConfig_t to cudaLaunchKernel with explicit grid, block, arguments, dynamic shared-memory size, and stream; launch errors name the new kernel. The host-shim namespace and run export target are updated.

Check that O is large enough for the TMA descriptor.

EncodeTma_O encodes fixed extents and fixed strides. It never compares them with the size of O. If a caller passes a smaller O, the TMA store writes past the end of the allocation. Add a numel check in each binding:

Restrict these TMA kernels to 128 heads.

The four family selectors check only num_split, and the direct Run launchers forward any arg_num_heads. With cta_rank == 1, epi_row0 starts at query_idx_1 * num_heads + 64 or + 96. The 32-row TMA store can therefore cross into the next query when num_heads < 128. The flattened output descriptor does not provide a query-local bound, so this can overwrite the next query's output.

Require num_heads == 128 in all four family selectors and reject other values in the corresponding direct Run launchers before launching the kernels.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Add a final cluster barrier so no CTA exits while its outgoing DSMEM copy is still reading local shared memory.

The elected lane of warp 4 issues two cp.async.bulk.shared::cluster.shared::cta copies. Their sources are the local smem_merge_send and smem_merge_stats_send buffers. Completion of these copies is signaled only on the peer's merge_full barrier. This CTA never waits for that signal.

This CTA waits only on its own merge_full barrier (Line 2223). That barrier tracks the copies the peer sends in. After that wait, the correction warps write the output and the kernel ends. The // Cleanup section is empty, and the round-9 tmem_dealloc_peer handshake no longer runs. No barrier orders the CTA's exit after its outgoing copy has finished reading. The CUDA programming model requires all distributed shared memory operations to finish before a thread block exits.

The peer cannot pass its merge_full wait until this CTA's copy completes. So a cluster barrier after both CTAs pass their merge_full wait is enough to fix the race.

🔒️ Proposed fix (kernel end)

// Cleanup + asm volatile("barrier.cluster.arrive.release.aligned;" ::: "memory"); + asm volatile("barrier.cluster.wait.acquire.aligned;" ::: "memory"); }

All roles fall through to the common kernel end, so every thread reaches this aligned barrier.

…0/SM103: one launcher-helper header, shared split-merge reducers, data-only loader, route rejections up front (#5920) > Developed by the **CAKE team**, the kernels in this PR **outperform** the relevant **SOTA baselines at the time of merge** on the **vast majority of performance benchmark shapes**, matching them otherwise. Closes #5794 ## What changes `csrc/cake_dsv4` goes from 111 files to 98 and the loader from 2,643 to 888 lines without changing a single compiled kernel: every kernel body of the two targets is byte-identical before and after (SASS equivalence, 25 == 25 per architecture). - **Program layer removed.** The 10 `cake_dsv4_family_*_binding.cu` host libraries and the matching `programs` half of the registry only re-dispatched to the per-variant launchers that the Python host already calls directly. `flashinfer/jit/cake_dsv4.py` is now a data-only registry (`_ARCH_REGISTRATIONS`) plus `get_cake_dsv4_spec` / `gen_cake_dsv4_module` / `get_cake_dsv4_module`; the 14 distinct argument plans are named constants instead of 50 inlined copies. JIT spec names, module names and import paths are unchanged. - **Identical kernels shared.** The two sm_103a reducers that are byte-identical to their sm_100a counterparts apart from the hash in the symbol (`split_reduce`, `bf16_h64_compressed_reduce`) now live once under `csrc/cake_dsv4/common/`; sm_103a's hash-named `split_reduce_cake_dsv4_*` registry keys become `split_reduce` and `bf16_h128_split5_reduce`. - **One helper header.** The device-guard / contiguity / dtype / dense-fold checks and the SM103 descriptor-slab preparation that were copied into all 48 variant bindings are extracted verbatim into `cake_dsv4_host_shim.h`; each binding keeps only its kernel declaration and launcher. The unused SM-count helper is dropped. - **Descriptor storage follows the descriptor set, from a bounded pool.** The sm_103a bindings that read their TMA descriptors from device memory take host-retained storage per descriptor set. The host used to carve that storage from the caller's workspace, so the second call through one workspace with another KV cache (consecutive layers) failed with `immutable TMA descriptors changed; provide new private descriptor storage`; the new GPU test reproduces this on the unmodified base tree. The host now keeps a bounded pool of private 1 KiB storages per (variant, device), keyed by the TMA source geometry (pointer, shape, strides, dtype of `Q` and the KV caches): a recent set reuses its storage, a new set takes a free or the least recently used one (the binding rewrites a reassigned storage in stream order before the launch), sets launched under CUDA Graph capture are retained for the process lifetime so replays read what they captured, and a capture that reaches a set never launched eagerly raises before any allocation. Pool bookkeeping, the binding's descriptor check and the launch enqueue run under one lock. The workspace layout and `get_cake_dsv4_workspace_bytes` are unchanged (the former slab region stays reserved). - **Two-stage routes launch from one FFI call.** The dispatcher binds the producer and the reducer of a two-stage route first and issues both through the host-only helper `run_sequence` (`csrc/cake_dsv4/cake_dsv4_launch_sequence.cc`), so no host work sits between the two kernels; a paired CUPTI A/B against the base (30 shapes per architecture, interleaved rounds, same inputs) shows every row >= 0.986 and geomean 1.03 (B200) / 1.09 (GB300) with bitwise-equal outputs. - **Rejections up front.** `_route` now raises `ValueError("backend='cake' has no ... kernel ...")` for the shapes that previously reached `_dispatch_route` and failed at launch time (FP8 rows with `sparse_topk > 384` below `max_q_len 257`, BF16 compressed caches outside the covered ragged rows, BF16 H128 with `sparse_topk < 64`). `_route` no longer takes `arch`; the two targets have the same route table. Launching through a variant no longer depends on the deleted program path or on a per-call stream pointer. - **Tests.** `tests/mla/test_cake_dsv4.py`: the per-arch route loops collapse, the rejected shapes are asserted as `ValueError`, two launch-recording tests pin the split-4 / row-first and split-5 + reducer owner sets, and `test_every_route_result_has_a_registered_kernel` sweeps every route result against the registry. `tests/mla/test_cake_dsv4_hardening.py` gains `test_same_workspace_serves_different_kv_caches`, a GPU test that issues two different KV caches (then the first again) through one workspace on the SM103 descriptor-storage routes and checks the outputs against the reference each time (fails on the base tree, see above). - The direct launch of the split-5 reducer uses the per-target grid its former program library used: `(tokens, heads / 4, 1)` on sm_103a, `(tokens, heads, 1)` on sm_100a; the launch test pins both. ## Not in this PR (follow-ups on #5794) Template parameters across the per-variant kernels, a by-value descriptor ABI on both targets (which would remove the retained descriptor storage), and merging the remaining near-duplicate SM100/SM103 kernels require regenerating the family from its producer; they are tracked on the issue with the reason. The open DSv4 round PRs (#5728, #5742, #5845, #5854, #5879) touch the same generated files; the cleanup is scripted so it can be re-applied on top of them (see the issue). Notes: the `*_source_exact` variants stay shape-locked and are only reached for their recorded shapes; `csrc/cake_dsv4/` is excluded from the pre-commit hooks as a generated artifact directory, so the rewritten bindings keep the generated text and only the new shared header is clang-formatted. ## Evidence | gate | result | |---|---| | SASS equivalence sm_103a (base 9f58370 vs this branch, 25 == 25 kernel bodies, 0 missing / 0 introduced) | PASSED (final tree) | | SASS equivalence sm_100a (same base, 25 == 25 kernel bodies, 0 missing / 0 introduced) | PASSED (final tree) | | `pytest tests/mla/test_cake_dsv4.py` (CPU) + `tests/mla/test_cake_dsv4_hardening.py` (GPU) on B300 (SM103), final tree | 210 passed; 86 passed | | same on B200 (SM100), final tree | 210 passed; 86 passed | | per-test base-vs-branch matrix on B300 (padded rows, graph replay, two-call descriptor storage, counter buffer) | base: two-call rows fail with the binding's immutability error; branch: all pass | | same matrix on B200 | all pass on base and branch (by-value descriptors) | | net lines | 72 files, +1,442 / -16,920 | | merge-tree onto `main` | clean; overlaps only with the open DSv4 round PRs listed above | | `ruff check` / `ruff format --check` (0.12.8); clang-format 19.1.1 dry-run on the new header | clean | 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)  ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **New Features** * CAKE DSv4 now launches registered kernels directly and sequences multi-kernel operations. * Improved TMA descriptor reuse across launches, devices, and CUDA Graph captures.

Closing: superseded. Per the owner's decision (2026-10-04), the Cake DSv4 sparse-MLA exporter is being taught the #5920 layout and the round 7–17 programs will be re-exported onto current main as one cumulative perf(cake_sparse_mla) PR from fork yyihuang (tracker #4254 § Sparse MLA DSV4). The per-round measurements and design docs referenced here remain the evidence of record (Cake MRs !1037–!1193).

…SM100/SM103 on the #5920 layout (cumulative) (#6045) ## Summary Rounds 7-17 of the DSv4 sparse-MLA Cake backend (`backend="cake"`, SM100 + SM103) as one cumulative change on the #5920 layout (per-variant bindings taking their checks from `tvm_ffi_utils.h`, shared sources under `common/`, `run_sequence`, the host's direct variant launches). Main carries round 6 (#5700) for this family; the eight per-round PRs stacked on it (#5728, #5742, #5845, #5854, #5879, #5946, #5973, #5999) and the held round 15-17 fork branches were closed in favour of this PR. Programs: whole-family regeneration of the `cake_dsv4` sources from Cake !1037's tree (the round-17 kernel tree `c7284461b47` merged into Cake main, rendered by main's codegen) for sm_103a and sm_100a through the exporter's #5920-layout path, replacing the round-6 sources. Host: the four round 11-14 host changes re-expressed on main's host (descriptor pool and `run_sequence` unchanged), plus the round tests ported onto main's collapsed tests. Numerics rule (every round): no precision-level change anywhere (same tolerances, same or higher-precision intermediates). Rounds that change output bits are called out below; every other program is bit-identical to its predecessor (NaN-poisoned bit compare on the measured cells). ### What changed per round - Round 7 ([Cake !1037](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1037), was #5728): FP8/H64 single-CTA SWA (class K1): single-pass softmax with the TMEM-alias correctness fix (Q x400 over-tolerance elements 398..64359 -> 0) and softmax warps helping the first K-tile gather, -0.7..-0.85 us per row; FP8/H64 cluster / wide one-partition: V4 gather owner, whole 128-key tile per cluster CTA with an f32 end merge over DSMEM (bits change by merge grouping), -0.13..-0.70 us; H8/H16 decode: loader warps skip the padded gather rows, up to -1.6 us. - Round 8 ([Cake !1043](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1043), was #5742): FP8/H64 wide one-partition in the whole-tile form with the no-LSE epilogue, -0.8..-0.9 us per row (bits change by merge grouping); K1 row max through `tcgen05.ld.red.max` on SM103a / full-tile fast max on SM100a, -0.45..-0.83 us; H8/H16 index-row L2 prefetch, -0.10..-0.26 us; BF16 one-tile SWA chain K stage-0 gather before the index barrier, -0.03..-0.10 us. - Round 9 ([Cake !1061](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1061), was #5845): six bit-identical levers: coalesced final-O epilogue of the fp8 H64 M64 persistent body (-7..-18 % on the six M64 rows), K4 first-tile gather split across the three warp roles (-2.5..-2.7 %), bf16 H64 guard by-value TMA descriptor ABI on sm_103a, K1 8-warp O epilogue drain, H/I SwapsAb page pair 0 from page-loader registers, class-O fp8 H64 5-slot KV ring (-12 % / -7..-9 %). - Round 10 ([Cake !1066](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1066), was #5854): bit-identical: class-O fp8 H64 split O-accumulator handshake + six-slot K ring with early Q release (-8..-10 %), bf16 H64 guard mask-flag pre-decode + transposed O store (-3.1..-4.1 %), H/I SwapsAb index-row L2 prefetch on sm_103a; the h8/h16 bindings gain the `num_query_tokens` scalar the host already passes by name. - Round 11 ([Cake !1085](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1085), was #5879): seven bit-identical levers (fp8 H64 M64 gated box-TMA K gather + per-stage O split credit; fp8 K4 last-tile key split; fp8 H128 persistent epilogue load-ahead-4 on sm_100a + deferred staging wait; bf16 H128 row-first elected multi-warp gather issue; bf16 H64 guard class-conditional gather4 issue) plus three contract-identical correctness fixes (split-FP8 P stage 1024 B-aligned at SMEM 175104 in the K4 / M64 / fp8 H128 persistent programs; guarded 16 B vector loads in the top-k index producers). **Host:** `out=None` is allocated in `run_cake_dsv4` after routing and placed at `base % 4 KiB == 0x800` on the six routes where the phase law was measured (`allocate_cake_dsv4_output`, `cake_dsv4_out_phase`, `out_shape`); caller-provided `out` and the other routes are unchanged. New `tests/mla/test_cake_dsv4_out_placement.py`. - Round 12 ([Cake !1126](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1126), was #5946): bf16 H128 row-first / prefill O epilogue `tcgen05.wait::ld` per 32-column TMEM load (-1.4..-6.0 %); bf16 H32 top-k mixed-pool split assignment (re-associates f32 partials by split geometry, strictly more precise: cells > 1 ulp vs fp32 118.8k -> ~630) and active_topk mask before the s_full wait (-3.5..-5.2 %); fp8 K4 wide quarter-tile tail + helper-correction readback pre-issue (-2.0..-4.1 %); **Host:** the fp8 H64 M64 body is two exported programs selected by the item width in `_route` (`_fp8_h64_m64_program`: `fp8_h64_prefill_source_persistent_m64` for `sparse_topk == 128`, `..._m64_multi_tile` otherwise; same ABI, same bits). - Round 13 ([Cake !1152](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1152), was #5973): bit-identical: **Host + program:** bf16 H128 row-first rows with 17-37 tokens run the new `bf16_h128_topk128x_row_first_vsplit` program (two 2-CTA clusters per token gathering only their N256 V half; grid 4 x tokens; `_BF16_ROW_FIRST_V_HALF_SPLIT_MAX_TOKENS = 37`), hardening-000025 -8.4 % GB300 / -7.8 % B200; fp8 K4 whole-tile `st.async ... complete_tx` peer O push + four-stage chunked merge (-0.70..-0.74 us); fp8 H64 M64 multi-tile next-item Q TMA after the CLC response (-0.4..-1.5 %); fp8 H128 persistent partial-o accumulation before the final `o_full` wait (-0.3..-1.1 %). - Round 14 ([Cake !1168](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1168), was #5999): bit-identical: bf16 H128 row-first (owner + vsplit) index warp issues its nine index loads before the nine `st.shared` passes (-5.0..-6.6 %); bf16 H64 guard program stores O through a TMA tensor map from per-warp staging (-0.9..-3.5 %) -- **Host:** the explicit `"O": "O"` entry in `_TMA_SOURCE_ALIASES` so the guard binding's `("tma_buffer", "O")` resolves; fp8 H128 persistent two-box pipelined epilogue drain on sm_103a. - Round 15 ([Cake !1177](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1177), held on the layout decision): bit-identical: the two-box pipelined epilogue drain becomes the default for the sm_100a fp8 H128 lane-gather variant (>= 128 work items); no host change. - Round 16 ([Cake !1182](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1182), held): bit-identical: fp8 H64 M64 multi-tile softmax -1 ballot hoisted above the `s_full` join (-0.22..-0.56 us); bf16 H64 guard O store split per V stage so the stage-0 O drain overlaps PV1 (-0.19..-0.35 us); no host change. - Round 17 ([Cake !1186](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1186), held): bit-identical: bf16 H128 row-first programs (owner + vsplit) hoist the swa / compressed V table select out of the four elected gather groups (hardening-000025 -0.593 us GB300 / -0.800 us B200, hardening-000031 -0.160 / -0.751 us); no host change. Round 18 ([Cake !1193](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1193)) shipped no program change (ledger only). ### Layout (#5920) notes - Per-arch registry schema unchanged: arch-prefixed `sources`, `arg_plan` as `_PLAN_<LABEL> [+ _SLAB] + _GRID`, `tma_workspace_bytes` only where non-zero, reducers shared through `common/` where both architectures compile the same kernel (`split_reduce`, `bf16_h64_compressed_reduce`); the split-5 reducers stay per-arch under the one key `bf16_h128_split5_reduce` (sm_103a grid `(tokens, heads / 4, 1)`, sm_100a `(tokens, heads, 1)`, as main's launch test pins). - Two new variant keys per architecture: `bf16_h128_topk128x_row_first_vsplit`, `fp8_h64_prefill_source_persistent_m64_multi_tile` (27 variants per arch). - No family bindings; two-stage routes go through `run_sequence`; the host's descriptor pool is untouched. ### Variant / file diff vs main `a12173ca0` - Per-arch registrations: 27 variants each (main had 25): new keys `bf16_h128_topk128x_row_first_vsplit` (round 13, host-routed for 17-37-token rows) and `fp8_h64_prefill_source_persistent_m64_multi_tile` (round 12). Loader `flashinfer/jit/cake_dsv4.py`: data-only edits (registrations, plan/grid constants, source lists); loader functions and `__all__` untouched. - Files: `common/` 30 (4 before), `sm_100a/` 24 (46 before), `sm_103a/` 24 (46 before); `sm_120a/` and every other family untouched. Diff vs main: 107 files, +17906 / -62404. - Fold disclosure: the exporter serves a variant from `common/` when its kernel + binding sources are byte-identical on both architectures modulo hash tokens. With the rounds 7-18 kernel tree rendered by current Cake main codegen, 15 of the 27 variants fold (bf16_h128_swa128, bf16_h128_topk128x_row_first, …_vsplit, bf16_h128_topk128x_split4_sm100, bf16_h16_h32_swa128_v44, bf16_h32_topk128x_early_v47, bf16_h64_compressed_q8_v38, bf16_h64_compressed_reduce, bf16_h64_guard_q_tma_batch_r25, bf16_h64_prefill, fp8_h64_prefill_source_persistent_m64, …_m64_multi_tile, fp8_h64_source_exact, fp8_lowhead_h64, split_reduce); 12 stay per-arch. Each architecture still compiles its own module from the shared source. - Host: the six host/test commits below the export commits port the rounds 13-17 host changes (vsplit route, descriptor-pool and `run_sequence` plumbing, output-placement test) onto the #5920 host; `cake_dsv4_host_shim.h` is unreferenced by the regenerated bindings and left in place. ## Validation Both architectures measured on the exported programs of this branch (GB300 = sm_103a commit `08d1c3c8`, whose sm_103a sources are byte-identical modulo hash tokens to this head; B200 = this head `4146373e`). Baseline = FlashInfer trtllm-gen default path of the same clone. Paired CUPTI sweeps (cold L2, active-union median), same-process; same-GPU ABBA = legs A1 B1 B2 A2 on one GPU, A = this branch, B = the round-17 fork head `dbf86c4d6` (quantum q = 0.032 us). | | GB300 (sm_103a) | B200 (sm_100a) | |---|---|---| | production export: 134 shapes timed + correct vs the Cake source programs (receipts) | 133/134 pass, source/export geomean 1.0022, trtllm-gen/export 1.4948 (94 canonical); hardening-000004 timing-only 0.9578x (correctness pass; retained first-run receipt — an independent full run on another node measured it 0.9820x pass; the same-GPU ABBA below shows the row 0.16 us *faster* than round 17 in both orders) — JHB 802461 nvl72d426-T11, 4 GPUs | 134/134 pass, source/export 1.0037 (min h004 0.9845), trtllm-gen/export 1.4404 — NSC 2138957, 4 GPUs | | **94 canonical rows faster than the default path** | 94/94 correct, every row > 1.0: geomean 1.4617, min 1.1191 (decode-000051) | 94/94 correct, every row > 1.0: geomean 1.4447, min 1.1774 (decode-000034) | | 40 hardening rows faster than the default path | 40/40 correct, every row > 1.0: geomean 1.4857, min 1.1068 (hardening-000004) | 40/40 correct, every row > 1.0: geomean 1.4396, min 1.1357 (hardening-000023) | | all 134 rows | geomean 1.4688, min 1.1068, 0 rows <= 1.0 | geomean 1.4432, min 1.1357, 0 rows <= 1.0 | | no row > 2 % slower than the round-17 programs (same-GPU ABBA vs `dbf86c4d6`) | pin rows (8): 0 slower, h004 -0.160 us / 064 -0.100 / 065 -0.070 faster both orders, rest within 1 q; hardening 00-39 (40): 0 rows beyond 1.25 q (h034 +0.040 us = +0.13 %, h037 +0.040 us = +0.07 %; h020 -0.580 us); canonical 94: 94 rows in 3 parts (`68a1e0f7` `1e1726bf` `59741678`): 134-row totals = 18 rows slower in both orders, 27 faster in both orders, geomean A/B 0.9956; **1 row above +2 %: decode-000056 +0.350 us (6.53 -> 6.88 us, +5.4 %, program fp8_h16_source_exact)**, next largest +1.7 % (decode-000074/077); largest gains decode-000078 -7.1 %, hardening-000020 -6.9 %, decode-000006/018 -6.7 %, 081 -6.6 %, prefill-style-000086 -2.7 %. Attribution of decode-000056 (Cake round 19, measured on another GB300 node): **not a codegen or ABI effect**. The non-ABI text differences compile to byte-identical SASS on sm_103a (128 regs / 0 spills in every form); A-vs-B replications flip sign between fresh processes of the same install; repeat sampling (5 alternating fresh A/B processes x 3 GPUs) gives this head 6.807 us vs round 17 6.803 us (0.1 q). The kernel (`fp8_h16_source_exact`) has two placement-dependent timing modes ~0.3 us apart that both exports reach; the round-18 cell caught the two installs in different modes. Programs unchanged | pin rows (8): `ea69b60d`: 1 slower both orders = decode-000002 +0.070 us (10.46 us, +0.67 %, 2.2 q); 6 rows timing-identical in all four legs; h031 within its band; hardening 00-39 (40): `0365c256` / `f0fee955` (B200 legs take ~45 min per 20 rows; both steps hit the 3 h step budget during leg A2): 25/40 rows with all four legs, code part <= +0.030 us (<= 1 q) on every one; the 15 rows without A2 have |A1 - B1|, |A1 - B2| <= 0.09 us (h017 -0.09 us = faster); no row > 2 % in any leg; canonical 94: 6 x 16-row parts (`d69139af` `1b42ff9f` `d2cf5268` `49f23a7d` `fedccecc` `c3874f40`, all four legs): 134-row totals = 8 rows slower in both orders (max decode-000002 +0.070 us = +0.67 %, the other seven +0.04..+0.06 us <= 2 q), 0 rows faster in both orders, 112 rows timing-identical or within 1 q, geomean A/B 1.0004; **no row above +2 %**; decode-000056 (the GB300 +5.4 % row) is 6.690 us in all four legs on B200: sm_100a already used the `grid_constant` TMA ABI in round 17, consistent with the GB300 cell being a sampling artefact (see the GB300 column) | | `tests/mla/test_cake_dsv4*.py` (GPU, fresh clone of this head) | 320 passed, 4 skipped, 0 failed (`5e70a6c9`, 1 GPU of 802461) | 319 passed, 4 skipped, 1 failed in the full run (`b13c39b1`: `test_cuda_graph_replay_matches_eager[h32-fp8-q1]` at "eager call allocated" with memory_allocated *lower* than the baseline, i.e. a GC of earlier tests' tensors during the call); the test re-run in isolation passes 12/12 params (`cb812a81`) | | Cake-side gates of the kernel tree (Cake !1037, head `f3108393953`) | 134 rows x all axes 528/528 correct; synccheck 8/8 + memcheck 7/8 rows 0 errors; CPU rule tests 705/705 | same: 528/528; synccheck 8/8 + memcheck 7/8 rows 0 errors; 705/705 | Cross-node note: the sweep medians of this run are not comparable to the round-17 PR numbers (different nodes / clock regime: on GB300 both Cake and trtllm-gen moved +5.0 % / +3.0 % geomean vs the round-17 sweep); the same-GPU ABBA row above is the valid round-over-round comparison. ## Baselines and their source PRs - trtllm-gen default path: FlashInfer main as of `a12173ca0` (this branch's base; the DSv4 trtllm-gen MLA path is unchanged since `c4cb63534`, the #5879 head: the only commit touching the MLA dispatch files since then is #5983, which adds an SM120 source to `flashinfer/jit/mla.py`; #5854, #5845, #5742, #5728, #5700 before it). - Cake round 17: fork branch `cake-772-dsv4-round17` (`dbf86c4d6`, held on the #5920 layout decision); round 16: `cake-772-dsv4-round16` (`45c0b819c`, held); round 15: `cake-772-dsv4-round15` (`1a91f12a9`, held); round 14: #5999 (`e2f7310ee`); round 13: #5973; round 12: #5946; round 11: #5879; round 10: #5854; round 9: #5845; round 8: #5742; round 7: #5728; round 6 and before: #5700 and the tracker's earlier PRs. - Round 18 (Cake !1193) changed no program: the exported programs here are the round-17 kernel tree `c7284461b47` as merged into Cake main (!1037 head `f3108393953`), rendered on the #5920 layout by the exporter (main's codegen since the round-17 base changes every generated program's text — dead-helper pruning, grid_constant tensor maps, `__shfl_sync`, launch-bounds macro — without touching the kernel schedules); the pre-export source-vs-export agreement for the sm_103a build-gap row (hardening-000031) is in the round-18 Cake doc. - Tracker: flashinfer#4254 (DSv4 sparse-MLA Cake backend; this PR supersedes the round 7-14 PRs listed above and the held round 15-17 fork branches `cake-772-dsv4-round15` `1a91f12a9`, `cake-772-dsv4-round16` `45c0b819c`, `cake-772-dsv4-round17` `dbf86c4d6`).
