Python routing prepares direct variant launches and sequences producer and reducer calls. The change updates TMA descriptor storage, rejects unsupported shapes, removes generated family wrappers, and revises documentation and tests. ChangesCake DSV4 backend
Priority: ➖ Normal Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Severity of issue fixed: Medium Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This refactor moves Cake DSV4 to direct kernel launches and pooled descriptor storage. The earlier concern about unbounded descriptor storage appears to be handled by the new bounded pool. It has not been independently re-verified, so the owner should confirm it before merging. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The descriptor pool improves workspace isolation, but cross-stream readiness after descriptor reassignment and process-lifetime retention of captured storage need explicit guarantees. Potential impact is concentrated in GPU-worker correctness and availability; the inspected tensor and device controls remain enforced. Retained concerns

- Around line 516-557: Update _descriptor_storage and _DESCRIPTOR_STORAGE to
protect lookup and insertion with a lock, and prevent unbounded descriptor
retention by coordinating eviction with the binding’s initialized-descriptor
ownership (or require stable, prewarmed storage). Reject creation of a new
descriptor key during CUDA Graph capture, while allowing keys prepared before
capture to be reused.

… the launcher helpers Host-only and mechanical cleanup of the Cake DSv4 sparse-MLA backend; no kernel body changes. * The BF16/H128 routes launch their producer and reducer variants directly from `_dispatch_route` with the grids the former single-route family libraries computed (2 CTAs per work item, prefill capped at one two-CTA cluster per SM pair, reducers on (T, H, 1)). The 10 `cake_dsv4_family_*` bindings, their registry sections and the program loader API are gone. * The launcher helpers repeated in every binding (device guard, tensor checks, SM103 descriptor-slab upload) live once in `cake_dsv4_host_shim.h`; the unused SM-count helper is dropped. * The two kernels whose source is identical on both architectures (`split_reduce`, `bf16_h64_compressed_reduce`) compile from one file under `common/`; registry sources are family-root relative and the sm_103a reducers are registered under their logical names (`split_reduce`, `bf16_h128_split5_reduce`). * `_route` rejects BF16 H8/H16 compressed-cache rows, FP8 low-head widths above 384 and BF16 H128 widths outside (256, 388] below the prefill token bound up front instead of routing to kernels that were never exported; the unreachable dispatch branches and the tests that asserted those routes through fake kernels are removed. A new CPU test sweeps `_route` and checks that every dispatched kernel is registered on both architectures. * The registry literal shares its argument plans (14 plans for 50 records). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* GPU test: two calls with one workspace but different KV caches on the prefill routes whose SM103 bindings read descriptors from the workspace slab (bf16 H64, fp8 H32), each checked against the reference. * README replaced by a short layout / usage / contract note (the previous one described 24 kernels, an SM103-only backend and a manifest that no longer exist, plus benchmark tables).

The measured facts stay; the work-item tags meant nothing outside the producer's tracker. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The direct dispatch launched both split-5 reducers with grid (tokens, heads, 1). The sm_103a reducer's former family library launched it with (tokens, heads / 4, 1); with four times the CTAs it wrote past the padded query rows and faulted on the second launch (GB300 hardening: padded-rows h128 bf16 x4, graph replay h128). The sm_100a reducer keeps (tokens, heads, 1). Pin both grids in the launch test. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The SM103 bindings that read their TMA descriptors from device memory
initialize that storage once, outside CUDA Graph capture, and reject a
different descriptor set for the same storage ("immutable TMA descriptors
changed; provide new private descriptor storage"). Carving the storage from
the caller's workspace therefore failed the second call through one workspace
with another KV cache (consecutive layers) on both the base tree and this
branch. The host now keeps one private 1 KiB tensor per (variant, TMA source
geometry) and binds it as tma_descriptor_workspace; the workspace region
[0, 1024) stays reserved so the layout and workspace size are unchanged.

The SM103 bindings that read their TMA descriptors from device memory require host-retained storage per descriptor set, and a descriptor set includes the query view (pointer and token count). Retaining one storage per set for the process lifetime therefore grew without bound under a stream of fresh query tensors, and the binding pinned every storage it had initialized, so a Python-side eviction alone could not release any. The host now keeps a bounded pool of storages per (variant, device): recent descriptor sets reuse their storage, a new set takes a free or the least recently used storage, sets launched under CUDA Graph capture are retained for the process lifetime so replays keep reading what they captured, and a capture that reaches a set never launched eagerly raises before any allocation or binding call. The binding rewrites a reassigned storage in stream order (the pool orders a launch on another stream after the storage's last reader) instead of rejecting different descriptors; the pool bookkeeping, descriptor check and launch enqueue run under one lock. Device code is unchanged. CPU test: pool bound, LRU reassignment, capture retention and rejection. GPU tests: reassignment under capacity 1 matches the reference without allocating; a captured set survives eager churn and a new set during capture raises. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…hing Launching the producer and the reducer through two separate host calls put the reducer's argument binding and FFI marshalling between the two kernels; on short decode rows that gap showed up as idle GPU time in the measured span. The dispatcher now prepares every launch of a route first (spec lookup, name binding, descriptor storage, module handle) and then issues the FFI calls back to back. The per-call critical section moves to run_cake_dsv4 so descriptor-pool bookkeeping, the bindings' descriptor checks and the launch enqueues of one call stay atomic. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
… the pool rules The descriptor pool exists only for bindings that read their TMA descriptors from host storage (tma_workspace_bytes); the SM100 twins of the same variants pass descriptors by value, so the capture-rejection and reassignment legs cannot apply there. The two GPU pool tests now resolve the route, assert the expected variant, read its registration and skip when the architecture has no descriptor workspace; the never-launched set is asserted distinct from every set used before. The module docstring states the pool rules explicitly. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…e first launch The FFI call imports every torch tensor argument on entry; for the second launch of a two-stage route that import (about one microsecond per tensor, more on Grace) sat between the producer and the reducer kernels and left the GPU idle when the producer was short. The dispatcher now imports the CUDA tensors of all launches of a call once, shares imports between the launches, and issues the FFI calls under an explicit stream context for the current torch stream (pre-imported tensors carry no stream). The recording launcher of the CPU route tests follows the prepare/run split and records launches in issue order. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
… call Measured on GB300 (Grace host): the second FFI call of a two-stage route costs about 9 us of host time after its tensors are pre-imported (call transition, per-launch device guard and attribute check, launch), while the split producer of the BF16 H128 decode route runs 11 us, so host jitter still left the GPU idle before the reducer on 4-7 % of the span. The former family libraries issued both launches from one C++ call. A host-only helper, run_sequence (csrc/cake_dsv4/cake_dsv4_launch_sequence.cc), restores that: the dispatcher binds every launch of a route, then makes one FFI call carrying each launcher and its arguments; the helper calls the launchers back to back inside that call. Arguments are converted once and the stream is recorded as for any FFI call, so the per-call tensor import and explicit stream context of the previous commit are removed. Single-launch routes are unchanged. The CPU route tests get a stand-in for the helper that calls each launcher in order. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…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`).

…backend="cake") (#6103) ## Summary Adds the DeepSeek-V4 NVFP4 (384 B/token) sparse-MLA decode for SM100 / SM103 (B200 / GB300) behind the existing public entry: ```python trtllm_batch_decode_sparse_mla_dsv4(..., kv_cache_format="nvfp4", backend="cake") ``` The cache ABI is the one already consumed by `backend="sparse"` on SM120 / SM121 (448 NoPE values as E2M1 with one E4M3 scale per 16 values, 64 BF16 RoPE values; `page_size * 352` data bytes followed by `page_size * 32` scale bytes per page). The generated decode kernel family (`csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_100a/`, `csrc/cake_dsv4/sm_103a/`: persistent, 2-CTA cluster, 64-head tile, persistent SwapsAB, one-tile SwapsAB and one-tile members with their `tile_n` / `o_chunks` variants, plus a split merge) reads the quantized cache directly: tcgen05 block-scaled MMA for QK^T, FP8 MMA for PV, fp32 online softmax, BF16 output. - Two independent selection tables (`sparse_indices` over `swa_kv_cache`, `extra_sparse_indices` over `compressed_kv_cache`) with their own `*_topk_lens`, `-1` masking, `sinks`, caller-owned `workspace_buffer` (`flashinfer.mla.cake_dsv4.get_cake_dsv4_workspace_bytes`), CUDA-Graph safe, no device allocation. - `nvfp4_quantize_pack_sparse_mla_cache` / `nvfp4_quantize_append_sparse_mla_cache` now build and run on SM100 / SM103 (same implementation and bytes as on SM120 / SM121). - `backend="auto"` on SM100 / SM103 is unchanged (TRTLLM-GEN); the NVFP4 route is opt-in via `backend="cake"`. ## Generated sources and registry `csrc/cake_dsv4/common/` gains 14 NVFP4 decode programs (`nvfp4_decode_<member>[_n<tile_n>][_oc<o_chunks>]`: persistent, cluster, t64, pv x2, swap x6, tile x3) and the split merge as `cake_dsv4_nvfp4_<variant>_{kernel,binding}.cu`, one source per program compiled for both architectures (the sm_100a and sm_103a renders are byte-identical modulo the generated names, so nothing is kept per architecture); `flashinfer/jit/cake_dsv4.py` registers them per architecture with four shared argument plans (`_PLAN_NVFP4_DECODE`, `_PLAN_NVFP4_TILE`, `_PLAN_NVFP4_G4`, `_PLAN_NVFP4_MERGE`), following the data-only registry of #5920. The host plan (`_nvfp4_plan`) mirrors the Cake planner: member and knobs from the SM count, token count, head count and candidate tiles; the merge launch takes `heads_per_cta` (the smallest power of two keeping at most one merge CTA per SM). The route prepares the decode and the merge launches first and issues both through `run_sequence`. The NVFP4 bindings do not use the SM103 descriptor slab (descriptors are passed by value on both architectures). ## Measurement notes The device kernels are the ones measured in the Cake source tree. Through the FlashInfer JIT the E2M1 x E4M3 scale multiply compiles from public PTX (an 8-byte magnitude table per 16-value block selected with `prmt`, bit-identical to the fused form); the source-tree build patches the fused form into the cubin. Across the 76 exported shapes per architecture the source-tree latency is 0.957x (B200) / 0.953x (GB300) of the FlashInfer-route latency (geomean; the public-PTX multiply costs 4-5 % on these 6-50 us kernels), with identical outputs on every shape. The benchmark below reports the FlashInfer-route numbers. ## Tests - `tests/mla/test_cake_dsv4_nvfp4_route.py`: host plan against the Cake planner's plan table (128 entries on 148 / 152 SMs), member selection and rejection paths (CPU); `tests/mla/test_cake_dsv4.py` registry checks cover the new variants. - `tests/attention/test_sparse_mla_blackwell_dsv4_nvfp4.py`: cache pack/append byte checks and decode through the public entry against the dequantized-cache reference (single and dual cache, extra page sizes 2 / 64, top-k lengths 0 / 1 / 63 / 65 / full with `-1` entries and sinks, all-masked rows, NHD layout, CUDA-graph replay bitwise x3, LSE read back from the workspace). The three test files pass on B200 and GB300 (428 tests). ## Benchmark `benchmarks/bench_cake_dsv4_nvfp4_decode.py` times the public entry on representative decode rows (cold-L2 CUPTI, 1 Mi-token HBM pools, random selections without replacement) with an informational TRTLLM-GEN FP8 column. ## Docs `docs/api/attention.rst` documents the NVFP4 format and the `backend="cake"` route. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **New Features** * Added Cake backend support for NVFP4 DeepSeek-V4 sparse attention on SM100 and SM103, including cache packing, appending, and decoding with separate main and compressed index tables. * Added NVFP4 workspace sizing options and documented supported backend and architecture combinations. * Added a benchmark for NVFP4 sparse decode, with optional FP8 comparison and JSON output. * **Tests** * Added coverage for cache operations, decoding, planning, workspace sizing, and CUDA Graph replay. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> Co-authored-by: Yingyi Huang <averyh@nvidia.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

What changes
csrc/cake_dsv4goes from 111 files to 98 and the loader from 2,643 to 888 lines without changing a single compiledkernel: every kernel body of the two targets is byte-identical before and after (SASS equivalence, 25 == 25 per architecture).
cake_dsv4_family_*_binding.cuhost libraries and the matchingprogramshalf of theregistry only re-dispatched to the per-variant launchers that the Python host already calls directly.
flashinfer/jit/cake_dsv4.pyis now a data-only registry (
_ARCH_REGISTRATIONS) plusget_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.

cake_dsv4_host_shim.h; each binding keeps only its kerneldeclaration and launcher. The unused SM-count helper is dropped.
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 theunmodified 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
Qand the KV caches): a recent set reuses its storage, a new set takes afree 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_bytesare unchanged (the formerslab region stays reserved).
issues both through the host-only helper
run_sequence(csrc/cake_dsv4/cake_dsv4_launch_sequence.cc), so no host work sitsbetween 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.

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_exactvariants stay shape-locked and are only reached for their recorded shapes;csrc/cake_dsv4/isexcluded 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.
