fix(cake_rmsnorm_det): fixed-order dw for the smallest token counts of the SM100/SM103 backward by yyihuang · Pull Request #8512 · flashinfer-ai/flashinfer

This PR changes the small-row backward pass of the deterministic Cake RMSNorm training package (cake_rmsnorm_det_train) on sm_100a and sm_103a. The package covers BF16 and FP32 weights, residual and non-residual inputs, row widths H 256 (per-head view) / 512 / 1536 / 2048 / 4096 / 5120 / 6144, and both forward and backward passes. This PR changes only the backward pass (residual and non-residual, BF16 and FP32 weight) for row counts T up to a per-width limit. Above that limit, the previous kernels are kept. The limits on sm_100a are H 256: 87, H 512: 227, H 1536: 109, H 2048: 288, H 4096: 203, H 5120: 121, H 6144: 20 and residual H 6144: 32. The limits on sm_103a are H 256: 1680, H 512: 227, H 1536: 214, H 2048: 171, H 4096: 152, H 5120: 25, H 6144: 20 and residual H 6144: 32. For every width except H 256, one kernel now replaces the main backward kernel and the separate dw reduction kernel. It computes dx bit-identically to before. It sums each dw column in a fixed row order with exact products and compensated (TwoSum) summation. A fixed-order FP64 fold follows, then one final rounding to FP32. The dw result does not depend on the grid size or SM count. For H 256, the main kernel accumulates with TwoSum, and the dw column reduction also uses TwoSum. The package already uses this form for larger H 256 row counts. The new form makes dw more accurate at these row counts, so some rows are slower than the previous Cake package. torch.compile is faster than Cake on many of these small rows. Each Cake launch has a floor of a few microseconds, and the previous Cake package had the same floor. Speedups against the previous Cake package and torch.compile (listed in that order):

B200 (sm_100a): 0.888x-1.685x vs previous Cake (16 of 140 rows slower, at most +0.631 us); 0.270x-1.866x vs torch.compile (Cake faster on 67 rows).
GB300 (sm_103a): 0.859x-1.397x vs previous Cake (31 of 144 rows slower, at most +0.968 us); 0.307x-1.991x vs torch.compile (Cake faster on 41 rows).

NVIDIA B200 (148 SMs), sm_100a; CUDA 13.4 (kernels built with nvcc 13.4), PyTorch 2.14.1+cu130, Triton 3.8.0. Backward pass (dx and dw in one call). Latency = CUPTI kernel-active time per call, cold L2, median of 4 x 20 calls per process. Previous Cake = the previously shipped Cake package; Cake = this package; both through the package's public backward entry point in the same processes (counterbalanced). Each Cake and previous Cake value = fastest valid process over the row's formal sessions (at least 2 sessions; each session a fresh process set with fresh caches, one GPU per session; a process is valid when its repeated Cake control run agrees within 1 %). Each baseline value = fastest process that timed it. Fastest non-Cake = the fastest of torch.compile (per-shape static compile of the FP32 formula, dynamic=False), F.rms_norm, Liger and eager FP32, named when it is not torch.compile. Residual rows: in the forward, Cake and every baseline return h = x + residual and y = RMSNorm(h); the backward takes the gradients of y and h and returns the gradient of h (which is that of x and of residual) and dw (torch.compile compiles the add and the norm as one graph; Liger = the faster of its RMSNorm and its fused add RMSNorm). Speedup = baseline / Cake.

NVIDIA GB300 (152 SMs), sm_103a; CUDA 13.4 (kernels built with nvcc 13.4), PyTorch 2.14.1+cu130, Triton 3.8.0. Backward pass (dx and dw in one call). Latency = CUPTI kernel-active time per call, cold L2, median of 4 x 20 calls per process. Previous Cake = the previously shipped Cake package; Cake = this package; both through the package's public backward entry point in the same processes (counterbalanced). Each Cake and previous Cake value = fastest valid process over the row's formal sessions (at least 2 sessions; each session a fresh process set with fresh caches, one GPU per session; a process is valid when its repeated Cake control run agrees within 1 %). Each baseline value = fastest process that timed it. Fastest non-Cake = the fastest of torch.compile (per-shape static compile of the FP32 formula, dynamic=False), F.rms_norm, Liger and eager FP32, named when it is not torch.compile. Residual rows: in the forward, Cake and every baseline return h = x + residual and y = RMSNorm(h); the backward takes the gradients of y and h and returns the gradient of h (which is that of x and of residual) and dw (torch.compile compiles the add and the norm as one graph; Liger = the faster of its RMSNorm and its fused add RMSNorm). Speedup = baseline / Cake.

Shape	T	Pass	Previous Cake (us)	Cake (us)	Speedup vs previous Cake	torch.compile (us)	Speedup vs torch.compile	Fastest non-Cake (us)	Speedup vs fastest non-Cake

The other Cake variants of this family are unchanged: the forward pass, backward rows above the upper row count, and everything on sm_107a; the family ships on sm_100a, sm_103a and sm_107a.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added deterministic RMSNorm training support for SM100 and SM103 GPUs, including backward computation for BF16 inputs.
- Added additional backward execution paths for small token counts, with route selection varying by workload.
Improvements
- Reduced workspace requirements for certain backward paths by using counters without partial-sum storage.
- Updated route selection for residual-fused backward cases to account for token count.

…ted ring on SM103/SM107, SM107 FP32-weight H=5120 forward grid - SM100 / SM103 H=256 backward (BF16 and FP32 weight): above 2048 rows (to 80896 rows on SM100, to 40960 on SM103) the weight gradient reduces through the column-split compensated reduce (64 CTAs; dw bitwise the slab-16 chain's). The chain keeps the windows up to 2048 rows. - SM107 H=256 backward: the four-CTA pipeline up to 2048 rows, the lean compensated-dot ring with the column-split TwoSum reduce above. - SM103 H=256 backward: the lean compensated-dot ring from 99840 to 720896 rows, the compensated-dot ring above. - SM107 FP32-weight H=5120 forward above 49152 rows: 64 CTAs per SM (was 48; same program). - No program is added or removed; three (program, architecture) builds are added. Each kernel unit prints the values of its compile-time constants at their uses instead of a #define table (SASS unchanged). - tests/norm/test_cake_rmsnorm_det_train_pairs.py follows the new windows.

…SM103 H=256 edges - SM107 returns to the routes of the shipped package: the H=256 backward runs the four-CTA pipeline to 65536 rows, the ring to 70656 rows and the lean compensated-dot ring above (staged tree / TwoSum reduces as before); the FP32-weight H=5120 forward above 49152 rows launches at 48 CTAs per SM. The SM107 changes of the previous commit move to a follow-up. - This PR now changes the SM100 / SM103 H=256 backward only: the column-split compensated dw reduce above 2048 rows (to 80896 rows on SM100, to 40960 on SM103) and the SM103 lean compensated-dot ring from 99840 to 720896 rows. - The SM103 H=256 window edges at 99840 and 720896 rows are recorded as bitwise-same (y, rstd and dx across the edge, BF16 and FP32 weight). - tests/norm/test_cake_rmsnorm_det_train_pairs.py follows.

Walkthrough

The PR adds deterministic RMSNorm training CUDA modules and updates backward route selection for small token counts on SM100 and SM103. It also changes workspace handling for column-task modules and updates routing, workspace, and stall tests.

Changes: Deterministic RMSNorm backward

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Generated kernels and launch bindings `flashinfer/cake_rmsnorm_det_train_backend/csrc/_kernel.cu`, `flashinfer/cake_rmsnorm_det_train_backend/csrc/_binding.cu`, `flashinfer/cake_rmsnorm_det_train_backend/build.json`	Adds CUDA backward kernel variants, TVM-FFI launch bindings with input and launch validation, and corresponding SM100 and SM103 AOT manifest records.
Small-token route windows `flashinfer/cake_rmsnorm_det_train.py`, `flashinfer/cake_rmsnorm_det_train_backend/cake_windows.py`, `tests/norm/test_cake_rmsnorm_det_train_stall.py`	Adds smaller-token backward windows and edge classifications for SM100 and SM103. Residual H=6144 routes split at 32 tokens, and the whole-SM wait-list entry applies above 32 tokens.
Column-task workspace handling `flashinfer/cake_rmsnorm_det_train_backend/__init__.py`, `tests/norm/test_cake_rmsnorm_det_train.py`, `tests/norm/test_cake_rmsnorm_det_train_pairs.py`, `tests/norm/test_cake_rmsnorm_det_train_api.py`	Column-task modules using `claim_sum_f64` receive no partial-row capacity and use a counters-only workspace. Tests now accept standalone column-task selections and validate their workspace and routing rules.

…dual H=6144 On SM100 and SM103, the residual H=6144 backward (BF16 and FP32 weight) runs the column-task program for 1 to 32 rows (was 1 to 6). At 8 rows the pair's FP32-weight dw could be worse than the eager FP32 sum; the column task's dw is not, its dx is bitwise the pair's, and it is faster than the pair at every row count from 7 to 32. The pair keeps the rows above 32. No program changes; SM107 is unchanged. The facade whole-SM list and the pairs / stall tests follow.

LGTM. Nit: H 256 and the large-H GB300 rows (e.g. H 4096 at T≥64) get slower than the previous package. Worth a line in the docs on why.

Add a precision check for the column-task dw route.

The new single-program branch checks the selection count and a 1e-4 relative-L2 bound on dw only. A plain FP32 column sum passes those checks and the bitwise tests, which compare runs of the same kernel. Add a precision check that a plain FP32 sum fails.

Extend the `claim_sum_f64` branch in the single-program test to verify that the
plain FP32 column-sum route fails the required `dw` precision check, rather than
relying only on selection-count and same-kernel bitwise checks. Reuse the test’s
established precision comparison and tolerances, and keep the existing `dw`
accuracy assertion for the selected route.

Reject dw that aliases w in the FP32-weight column route, or copy w first.

The FP32 column kernel reads w in each CTA's prologue and stores dw from another CTA's column task. The facade accepts a dw that shares storage with w. A CTA that starts after another CTA's dw store reads a gradient value in place of a weight, and its dx rows are wrong. Copy w before launch, or raise an error when dw and w share storage.

…re backward windows (#8626) Related issue: https://github.com/flashinfer-ai/flashinfer/issues/8066 `flashinfer.cake_rmsnorm_train` is RMSNorm for training. The forward returns y (BF16) and rstd (FP32), and the backward returns dx (BF16) and dw (FP32). The two modes, `deterministic=True` and `deterministic=False`, use the same forward and differ only in the backward. Both modes support these forms: - [T, H] rows with BF16 weight, or FP32 weight (`w32`) - fused residual add (`res`, H6144) - per-head views [T,24,256] (strided) and [T,4,256] (contiguous), with a shared w[256] This follow-up to #8577 changes only the `deterministic=False` backward, and only on sm_100a (B200) and sm_103a (GB300). In the windows below, that backward now runs a pair from the deterministic package (main kernel + fixed-order dw reduce) in place of the #8577 programs. In this list, rows = T for [T, H], 24T for [T,24,256] and 4T for [T,4,256]: - B200: H256 problems with 92160 < rows <= 524288 (both weight dtypes); H6144 `w32` with 1168 < T <= 1408. - GB300: H256 problems with 1080 < rows <= 5120 or 12288 < rows <= 720896 (both weight dtypes); H6144 `res` with 56 < T <= 304 or 1920 < T <= 2304; H6144 `res w32` with 1824 < T <= 2304. In most of these windows, the pair is the same one that `deterministic=True` launches for the same rows (`=` in the tables). The GB300 H256 windows 1080 < rows <= 2048 and 97280 < rows <= 99840 use a different pair from the same package; the [T,24,256] T4096 rows measure the second of these. sm_107a (R200) routes are unchanged from #8577, so this PR has no R200 table. Speedup = baseline latency / new latency. A value > 1 means the new kernel is faster. Geomeans, vs deterministic / vs SOTA: - Shapes whose backward changes in this PR (`^`): - B200 (6 shapes): fwd 1.000x / 1.025x, bwd 0.997x / 1.131x, 2xfwd+bwd 1.001x / 1.086x - GB300 (19 shapes): fwd 0.997x / 0.981x, bwd 0.997x / 1.286x, 2xfwd+bwd 0.997x / 1.240x - 78-shape list: - B200: fwd 1.001x / 1.014x, bwd 1.048x / 1.174x, 2xfwd+bwd 1.023x / 1.131x. These vs-SOTA values leave out the two `!` rows. Leaving out the `p` rows as well gives 1.012x / 1.149x / 1.113x. - GB300: fwd 1.001x / 1.017x, bwd 0.999x / 1.158x, 2xfwd+bwd 1.002x / 1.145x Against #8577: - Some changed shapes are also in the #8577 tables: B200 [T,24,256] T4096 and T16384 and [T,4,256] T65536; GB300 H6144 T256 res, [T,24,256] T1024 to T16384 and [T,4,256] T1024 to T65536. On those shapes, bwd det/new was 0.82x to 1.01x in #8577 and is 0.98x to 1.01x here. det launches the same programs in both runs. - Examples, new bwd in #8577 vs this PR: - GB300 [T,4,256] T1024: 9.70 vs 7.87 us - GB300 [T,24,256] T4096: 37.86 vs 33.15 us - B200 [T,24,256] T16384: 114.85 vs 105.89 us - These two sets of numbers come from different runs on different nodes. - A same-node A/B run on GB300 H256 (BF16 weight) measured bwd 40.22 -> 35.20 us at T106496 and 48.26 -> 42.82 us at T139264. Notable rows: - Changed shapes vs det. Some bwd and 2xfwd+bwd rows launch the same programs in both modes (`=`). These read det/new 0.986 to 1.003 on B200 (12 rows) and 0.969 to 1.011 on GB300 (36 rows), which is inside the order band described below. The printed ratios are measured values; none is set to 1.00x. GB300 [T,24,256] T4096 runs a different pair from det: bwd 33.15 vs 32.42 us (0.98x), 2xfwd+bwd 62.59 vs 61.70 us (0.99x). - Changed shapes vs SOTA. Every bwd and 2xfwd+bwd row is faster than SOTA: 1.04x to 1.25x on B200 and 1.05x to 1.64x on GB300. The forward is unchanged, and the fwd rows of these shapes are below SOTA on 4 of 6 shapes (B200) and 15 of 19 (GB300). The lowest is GB300 [T,4,256] T4096 fwd: 4.96 vs 4.61 us (tcd, 0.93x). - Rows below 0.95x vs det. This PR does not change the programs of any of these shapes. Latencies are new vs det: - B200: H256 T1048576 bwd 292.89 vs 262.27 us (0.90x), and its `w32` form 295.13 vs 259.25 us (0.88x; 2xfwd+bwd 0.94x). [T,24,256] T65536 bwd 427.66 vs 384.77 us (0.90x, `!`). H1536 T1024 bwd 7.78 vs 7.33 us (0.94x), although both modes launch the same programs there; this is the low end of the order band. - GB300: H1536 T56320 bwd 112.38 vs 88.67 us (0.79x; `w32` 0.78x). H1536 T65536 bwd 128.48 vs 101.63 us (0.79x). H2048 T65536 bwd 144.90 vs 128.51 us (0.89x). H5120 T65536 bwd 363.25 vs 313.50 us (0.86x; `w32` 0.85x). H6144 T65536 w32 bwd 391.07 vs 366.11 us (0.94x). The 2xfwd+bwd rows of the H1536 and H5120 shapes read 0.91x to 0.93x. - Lowest bwd vs SOTA. None of these shapes changes in this PR: - B200 H256 T1048576 w32: 295.13 vs 271.57 us (tc, 0.92x) - GB300 H1536 T56320 w32: 112.96 vs 93.89 us (qa, 0.83x) - GB300 H1536 T56320 and T65536: 0.85x (qa) Baselines and measurement. Every row has two baselines: - det: the deterministic Cake kernel (`deterministic=True`). Its GPU programs are those of FlashInfer main at 59432d00, the same as in #8577. This PR does not change the deterministic package. #8512, merged after these runs, changes the deterministic backward at small T; of the rows here, it changes only the det programs of B200 H2048 T256 (bwd and 2xfwd+bwd). - SOTA: per row, the fastest non-Cake candidate that has the same outputs (BF16 y / dx / h_new, FP32 rstd / dw) and meets the accuracy budget. Every candidate is timed on every row, except torch.compile max-autotune on the B200 `p` rows. Configurations that return dw in the weight dtype (the public PyTorch, Liger, QuACK and TE APIs on BF16-weight rows) do not have matched outputs and are never chosen. new = the non-deterministic Cake kernel of this PR (`deterministic=False`). The accuracy budget takes the worst of 5 seeds: dx atol = rtol = 1e-2, and dw per element atol 1e-4 + rtol 1e-4 vs FP64. Latency = median of 804 CUPTI spans per implementation per row. There are 1608 spans for the two GB300 shapes timed twice, and 402 or 603 for the SOTA implementation on `h` rows. One span is one CUDA-graph replay after an L2 flush (cold L2), and it includes the implementation's own setup, reduction, cast and copy kernels. For each GPU type, 4 sessions ran in parallel on 4 GPUs of one node. Each session ran 3 interleaved rounds x 67 replays. eps = 1e-6. Latencies print to 0.01 us and per-row ratios to 0.01x. The geomeans use unrounded values. Two caveats apply to all ratios: - Fixed implementation order. Implementations run in a fixed list order: det first, the non-Cake candidates, then new. Two of the four sessions use the reversed list, and alternate rounds replay the list reversed. The check reported in #8577 found that this fixed order alone moves an implementation's latency by up to about 5 %. In this run, bwd and 2xfwd+bwd rows where det and new launch the same programs read det/new 0.942 to 1.041 on B200 (62 rows) and 0.947 to 1.051 on GB300 (136 rows). The fwd rows (same forward in both modes) read 0.978 to 1.038 on B200 and 0.972 to 1.046 on GB300. A ratio within about 5 % of 1.00x is therefore not a measured difference. - torch.compile in the process. All implementations of a row run in one process that also loads every non-Cake candidate, including torch.compile. The check reported in #8577 found that a torch.compile function in the process makes every non-compile implementation run faster. On small rows, the Cake kernels and the other libraries (QuACK, TE, torch, Liger) run up to about 30 % shorter than in a process without torch.compile; torch.compile itself runs within about 3 % of the same speed in both. So the table compares all implementations in the same state. On small rows, the Cake kernels gain somewhat more than the other non-compile libraries. The ratio vs those libraries reads up to about 1.10x (GB300) and 1.14x (B200) higher than in a process without torch.compile, so these small-row ratios may overstate the new kernel's lead by up to that factor. On large rows, this difference is at most 1.02x. Ratios vs det are not affected, because both are Cake kernels in the same process. Key: - Shapes: H = hidden size, T = tokens. x / y / dx are BF16, rstd / dw are FP32, and w is BF16 unless marked `w32`. `res` adds the BF16 output h_new. `[T,24,256]` has strides (12288, 512, 1), and `[T,4,256]` is contiguous. Both share w[256]. - op: `step` = 2xfwd+bwd (checkpointed). - SOTA: - tc = torch.compile of an explicit FP32-statistics reference (torch 2.14.1+cu130, inductor max-autotune-no-cudagraphs, emulate_precision_casts=True) - tcd = the same in torch.compile default mode - q = QuACK 0.6.5 (nvidia-cutlass-dsl 4.8.1) heuristic config - qa = QuACK 0.6.5 exhaustive per-shape autotune (rmsnorm_fwd_tuned / rmsnorm_bwd_tuned, cached before timing) - on `res` rows, QuACK is torch add + QuACK - lg = Liger-Kernel 0.8.5 (Triton 3.8.0, casting_mode gemma) - Transformer Engine 2.20.2 runs only as the FP32 problem, with the casts inside its span. It was never fastest. - PyTorch's fused rms_norm cannot run this form (BF16 x with FP32 w). Apex FusedRMSNorm has no wheel. FlashInfer's inference rmsnorm is forward only. - Marks: - `^`: the backward programs of this shape change in this PR (bwd and 2xfwd+bwd rows). - `=`: det and new launch the same GPU programs for this op (bwd and 2xfwd+bwd rows). Every fwd row launches the same forward programs in both modes. - `~`: for det, SOTA or new, (max - min) / min of the 4 session medians is above 5.0 %. - `!`: no matched candidate meets the dw budget. The fastest matched one is shown, and the row is left out of the vs-SOTA statistics. - `p`: torch.compile max-autotune did not run on this row (disk-quota error in that run), so SOTA is the fastest of the other candidates. - `h`: the SOTA implementation ran in only 2 or 3 of the 4 sessions (402 or 603 spans instead of 804). **B200 (sm_100a)** B200, 148 SMs, sm_100a, compute capability 10.0, driver 580.82.07, CUDA 13.4 (nvcc cuda_13.4.r13.4/compiler.38855100_0), torch 2.14.1+cu130.

The 3 H4096 T1536 w32 rows come from a second run on another B200 node with the same software (SM clock 100 % at max). The first run timed a backward pair that this PR does not ship; that window keeps the #8577 programs.

it ships these forms in both modes on sm_100a, sm_103a and sm_107a, and this PR changes and measures only sm_100a and sm_103a.   ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Performance** * Updated RMSNorm training backward kernel selection across SM100, SM103, and SM107 GPUs, with revised coverage for different tensor sizes and normalization widths. * Expanded deterministic-pair execution ranges for selected configurations, while adjusting where single-kernel execution is selected. * Added backend support for additional RMSNorm training execution paths, including bfloat16 inputs and gradient reduction.

Vendor FlashInfer's Cake RMSNorm training packages of flashinfer-ai/flashinfer eb3eb68d7deebbe619e05d93ecfd9796e4eaf2e3 into miles_ext_kernels/cake/_vendor/, byte for byte, as the packages of the op rmsnorm in _vendor/VENDORED.json: - cake_rmsnorm_det_train_backend (flashinfer/cake_rmsnorm_det_train_backend, 582 files): the deterministic forward and backward. - cake_rmsnorm_train_backend (flashinfer/cake_rmsnorm_train_backend, 581 files): the backward with a non-deterministic weight gradient in some token-count windows; it runs its deterministic sibling for deterministic=True, so the two packages move together. eb3eb68d includes flashinfer-ai/flashinfer#8512: on SM100a and SM103a the deterministic backward of the smallest token counts sums each weight-gradient column in a fixed row order, so its bits no longer depend on the SM count. The files and their blobs are the ones the previous rmsnorm package vendored from the same commit. python tools/vendor_cake.py fi --checkout ../flashinfer --commit eb3eb68d7deebbe619e05d93ecfd9796e4eaf2e3 \ --op rmsnorm --package flashinfer/cake_rmsnorm_det_train_backend \ --package flashinfer/cake_rmsnorm_train_backend Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
