flashinfer.experimental.cake_gdn_det_train is FlashInfer's deterministic Gated DeltaNet chunked training kernel. Its outputs and gradients are bitwise reproducible. The forward WY stage builds the per-chunk WY representation (w and u). The forward pass uses it, and the backward pass recomputes it. This PR adds a new compiled program for that stage on sm_100a (B200) and sm_103a (GB300) that runs five CTAs per SM instead of four. It keeps the triangular L^T / X tiles in a packed lower-triangular layout and uses 64 tensor-memory columns, so each CTA needs about 43.6 KB of shared memory and 87 registers. On B200 and GB300, every launch of this stage uses the new program, both in the forward pass and in the backward recompute. As a result, every row below changes its launches. sm_107a (R200) is unchanged: its compiled programs and launches are identical to FlashInfer main. All other stages are unchanged, and outputs and gradients are bitwise identical to the previous version. The baseline is the previous version of this kernel on current FlashInfer main (speedup = main / this PR, so >1 is faster; median over 56 interleaved clean-process cells). The forward pass is faster on every row on both GPUs: 1.028x to 1.044x on B200 and 1.025x to 1.046x on GB300. For forward + backward, B200 measures 1.007x to 1.015x on 14 rows and 1.000x on 3 x ~4.25k 8 / 16. GB300 measures 1.008x to 1.018x on 14 rows and 0.990x on 1 x 16384 8 / 16. In this run, the 95 % confidence interval of the f+b ratio includes 1.0 on seven B200 rows and two GB300 rows, so those rows are within measurement noise here. The B200 rows are 4 x 4096 8 / 16, 3 x ~4.25k 8 / 16, 15 x ~4.3k 8 / 16, 1 x 16384 8 / 16, 16 x 4096 16 / 32, 11000 + 12000 + 9768 16 / 48, and 2 seqs 259174 tokens 2 / 6. The GB300 rows are 4 x 4096 8 / 16 and 1 x 16384 8 / 16. A repeat measurement of exactly those rows, shown in the last table, finds f+b faster on both GB300 rows and on four of the seven B200 rows. The other three B200 rows remain within noise. No row in either run was slower beyond measurement noise.

NVIDIA B200 (sm_100a, 148 SMs), CUDA 13.4 (torch 2.14.1+cu130): BF16 inputs, head dim 128, chunk 64; forward + backward (f+b) and forward (fwd) per call, ms (median over 56 interleaved clean-process cells); speedup = FlashInfer main / this PR.

This PR leaves the kernel's other variants unchanged (FP32 and BF16 beta/dbeta forms, HV = H, 2H and 3H head groups, split scan plans, serial-scan tail_g3 plans, and the w2/e4/e8 wavefront forms), and the kernel ships on sm_100a (B200), sm_103a (GB300) and sm_107a (R200).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for additional GPU architectures in the experimental training workflow, with architecture-specific WY-stage selection.
    • Existing output behavior remains bitwise equivalent across the documented architecture variants.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified when aligned and unaligned inputs use different preparation paths and which WY implementation is used on each supported architecture.

…_100a and sm_103a

New stage wy_tc2 with record wy_tc2 (sm_100a, sm_103a): the forward WY program that keeps the
packed lower-triangular fp32 L^T and X in 64 TMEM columns and fits five CTAs per SM (87 registers,
43,648 B shared memory per CTA). Its outputs are bitwise those of wy_tc. Record wy_tc2_sm_107a
serves the stage on sm_107a with the wy_tc program. No other library changes, and no launch
changes in this commit.
…_100a and sm_103a

On sm_100a and sm_103a (WY_TC2_ARCHS) every wy_tc launch now runs wy_tc2: the forward, both sequence
groups of the P form and the backward's recompute. wy_tc2 has the same grid, arguments and bits as
wy_tc and fits five CTAs per SM where wy_tc fits four. sm_107a launches exactly as before.

Walkthrough

The WY stage now uses architecture-based dispatch: sm_100a and sm_103a select wy_tc2, while sm_107a selects wy_tc. The change adds module and library records, a generated binding, documentation, and tests for dispatch and output equivalence.

Stage selection and contract
flashinfer/experimental/cake_gdn_det_train/cake_chain.py, flashinfer/experimental/cake_gdn_det_train/cake_jit.py, flashinfer/experimental/cake_gdn_det_train/README.md
wy_stage(arch) selects wy_tc2 on sm_100a and sm_103a, and wy_tc otherwise. WY launch paths use the selector. The documentation describes the stages and their architecture coverage.
Module and generated library registration

The registry adds SM100/SM103 wy_tc2 metadata and an SM107 record using the existing wy_tc kernel. The generated binding validates inputs and launches the kernel. Build metadata adds the SM100 and SM103 library records.
Dispatch and output validation
tests/experimental/test_cake_gdn_det_train.py
Tests verify registry contents, architecture-specific selection, and device-resolved launch expectations. A saved-state and recompute test compares outputs and gradients from the selected stage with wy_tc bitwise.

Explanation

The title names the main change: a packed-triangular forward WY program that runs five CTAs per SM on B200 and GB300, under the cake_gdn_det scope. The raw summary covers the new wy_tc2 program for sm_100a/sm_103a, its routing of forward WY launches, and the sm_107a path staying on wy_tc. The title matches that change. It is a single line and omits the bitwise-equivalence and test details, which the title does not need to carry. The title is long at 94 characters, but it stays specific.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the purpose of the kernel, the new WY program, the affected architectures (sm_100a and sm_103a, with sm_107a unchanged), the performance tables for B200 and GB300, and a repeat measurement. It also states that outputs and gradients are bitwise identical. It does not fill in the repository template's required sections. The Related Issues section is missing, and the pre-commit and test checklist items are not ticked or addressed. The Experimental Track section is also left blank, though the PR touches flashinfer/experimental/ and so needs that section. The experimental-tests fence still holds its placeholder comments, so no test targets are declared. The PR objectives mention a test run requested by a bot, but the description gives no test results. The description's content is thorough and specific, but the template sections are incomplete.

Resolution

Complete the template sections the PR needs. (1) Fill in Related Issues with the tracking issue or state that none exists. (2) Tick the pre-commit and test checklist items after running them, and state the test results. (3) Because the PR adds code under flashinfer/experimental/, complete the Experimental Track section. Name the tracking issue, and confirm each checklist item. Confirm that nothing is registered in flashinfer/aot.py and that the experimental backend is not reachable from backend="auto" without the environment variable. (4) Replace the placeholder lines in the experimental-tests fence with the real test targets under tests/experimental/, such as tests/experimental/test_cake_gdn_det_train.py. (5) Optionally, use Reviewer Notes for the B200 rows that remain within noise.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 27.27% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 11 functions across 4 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Update the two-stream forward description to name wy_tc2 on SM100 and SM103.

README.md lines 132-133 say the forward two-stream launches run wy_tc. On sm_100a and sm_103a, the grouped forward path runs wy_tc2. The new text at lines 72-75 of the same README says so, which makes the two passages contradict each other. Update lines 132-133 to match.

… SM on B200 and GB300 (#8665)

Cake ships four GDN training variants in FlashInfer: a non-deterministic
and a deterministic form, each as a single-rank package and a
context-parallel (KCP) package. This PR changes the non-deterministic
single-rank package `flashinfer.experimental.cake.cake_gdn_train`. On
sm_100a (B200) and sm_103a (GB300), its forward WY stage now runs the
packed-triangular WY program at five CTAs per SM (`wy_tc2`). The
deterministic package `flashinfer.experimental.cake_gdn_det_train`
already runs this program (#8615). On sm_107a (R200), the package keeps
the previous WY program. In every timed configuration, the output and
the gradients of q, k, v, g and beta are bitwise equal to the previous
version.

Every ratio is baseline ms / this PR ms, so a value above 1 means this
PR is faster. ckpt is the checkpointed step. The tables use three
baselines:
- "Deterministic Cake" is the deterministic package at FlashInfer main
4046a86.
- "Non-Cake SOTA" is chosen per cell. It is the fastest
accuracy-qualified implementation among FLA 0.6.0 (Triton) and the GDN
from cuDNN frontend 1.32.1 (FROST) in two modes: states recomputed
("cuDNN FROST" in the tables) or states stored every 64 tokens ("cuDNN
FROST (chunk 64)"). FlashQLA 0.1.3, timed earlier on one shape on B200
and GB300, was slower than both cuDNN FROST modes there, so it is not
among the candidates. In the published cells, it is cuDNN FROST in fwd
and cuDNN FROST (chunk 64) in fwd+bwd and ckpt. Where this comparison
was not stable enough to publish, the table shows "unstable (not
published)" and no ratio.
- "Previous" is this package at the same main commit.

Against deterministic Cake and the previous version, a cell counts as
faster or slower only when both opposite-order runs fall outside the
spread of an A/A run of this PR against itself. Where a longer sustained
run exists, that run decides. All other cells are at parity. Each cell's
class (faster, parity or slower) comes from that cell's own A/A spread,
so a ratio below 1 can be parity in one cell and slower in another.
Non-Cake SOTA results are plain ratios with no class.

On B200, the forward is 1.005-1.045 against the previous version with
FP32 beta and 1.028-1.043 with BF16 beta. With FP32 beta, fwd+bwd is
0.987-1.024 and ckpt is 0.991-1.031. With BF16 beta, fwd+bwd is
1.001-1.032 and ckpt is 0.983-1.058. Against deterministic Cake, the
FP32-beta ranges are 0.998-1.012 (fwd), 0.992-1.112 (fwd+bwd) and
0.988-1.077 (ckpt). The BF16-beta ranges are 0.997-1.004, 0.987-1.114
and 0.986-1.057. Against non-Cake SOTA, the ratio is above 1 in every
published fwd+bwd cell: 1.076-1.559 in 7 FP32-beta cells and 1.058-1.695
in 4 BF16-beta cells. In ckpt, it is above 1 in 6 of 7 FP32-beta cells
(1.148-1.418) and 3 of 4 BF16-beta cells (1.083-1.459). In the remaining
ckpt cell of each set (16 x 4096, H/HV 16/32) it is below 1, at 0.938
and 0.917. In fwd, it is below 1 in 7 of 9 published FP32-beta cells
(0.489-0.970) and 8 of 10 BF16-beta cells (0.481-0.952). It is above 1
in the other 2 fwd cells of each set (1.172-1.297 and 1.143-1.268).

On GB300, the forward is 1.013-1.039 against the previous version with
FP32 beta and 1.022-1.039 with BF16 beta. With FP32 beta, fwd+bwd is
0.985-1.017 and ckpt is 0.986-1.021. With BF16 beta, fwd+bwd is
1.005-1.019 and ckpt is 0.997-1.020. Against deterministic Cake, the
FP32-beta ranges are 0.993-1.043 (fwd), 0.990-1.111 (fwd+bwd) and
0.992-1.080 (ckpt). The BF16-beta ranges are 0.996-1.007, 0.993-1.175
and 0.999-1.109. Against non-Cake SOTA, the ratio is above 1 in every
published fwd+bwd cell: 1.053-2.013 in 12 FP32-beta cells and
1.164-1.984 in 4 BF16-beta cells. It is also above 1 in all 9 published
FP32-beta ckpt cells (1.002-1.699), but three of them are only
1.002-1.018. No BF16-beta ckpt cell has a published non-Cake timing. In
fwd, it is below 1 in all 5 published cells: 0.570-0.832 in 4 FP32-beta
cells and 0.620 in 1 BF16-beta cell.

On B200 and GB300, no cell is slower than the previous version. The
fwd+bwd and ckpt cells below 1.000 are at parity. The lowest is B200
BF16-beta 4 x 4096, H/HV 8/16 ckpt, at 0.983.

Five cells are still slower than deterministic Cake:
- B200, FP32 beta, 6 seqs, 241817 tokens, H/HV 2/6, fwd+bwd: 0.992
- B200, FP32 beta, 64 x 4096, H/HV 2/6, fwd+bwd: 0.992
- B200, FP32 beta, 64 x 4096, H/HV 2/6, ckpt: 0.988
- GB300, FP32 beta, 64 x 4096, H/HV 2/6, ckpt: 0.992
- GB300, BF16 beta, 7 x ~4.3k (real pack), H/HV 8/16, fwd+bwd: 0.993

On B200, the first three of these cells are slower in the sustained run
at the board power limit; the short runs shown in the table are within
the A/A spread. On these workloads, the forward now launches the same
programs as the deterministic package and is at parity with it
(0.998-1.000). The deterministic package uses different backward forms
there. The other cells below 1.000 against deterministic Cake on B200
and GB300 (0.986-0.999) are at parity.

R200 was timed with FP32 beta only; this PR does not change the R200
program. On R200 (sm_107a), the package keeps the previous WY program,
and every cell is at parity with the previous version (0.994-1.001).
Against deterministic Cake, it is 1.000-1.186. Against non-Cake SOTA,
the ratio is above 1 in all 19 fwd+bwd cells (1.258-2.527) and all 14
published ckpt cells (1.106-2.066). In fwd, it is below 1 in 12 of 16
published cells (0.452-0.860) and above 1 in the other 4 (1.155-1.291).

This PR does not change the other three Cake GDN training variants: the
deterministic single-rank package
`flashinfer.experimental.cake_gdn_det_train`, the non-deterministic KCP
package `flashinfer.experimental.cake_gdn_train_kcp` and the
deterministic KCP package
`flashinfer.experimental.cake_gdn_det_train_kcp`; the family ships on
sm_100a (B200), sm_103a (GB300) and sm_107a (R200).

… per SM on R200 (#8695)

`flashinfer.experimental.cake_gdn_det_train` is FlashInfer's
deterministic Gated DeltaNet chunked training kernel. Its outputs and
gradients are bitwise reproducible. #8615 added a forward WY program
that runs five CTAs per SM on sm_100a (B200) and sm_103a (GB300). That
program uses packed lower-triangular L^T / X tiles and 64 tensor-memory
columns, which brings each CTA to about 43.6 KB of shared memory and 87
registers. sm_107a (R200) kept the four-CTA program. This PR builds the
same program for sm_107a and uses it for every forward WY launch on
R200, both in the forward pass and in the backward recompute. On R200 it
also uses 87 registers and 43,648 B of shared memory per CTA and runs
five CTAs per SM. As a result, every row below changes its launches on
R200. Outputs and gradients are bitwise identical to the previous
version. The baseline is the previous version of this kernel on current
FlashInfer main (speedup = main / this PR, so >1 is faster; median over
56 interleaved clean-process cells). Forward + backward is 1.014x to
1.021x faster on 216 SMs, 1.011x to 1.019x faster on 212 SMs and 1.008x
to 1.022x faster on 208 SMs. The forward pass is 1.034x to 1.054x,
1.026x to 1.047x and 1.019x to 1.058x faster on those boards,
respectively. Every row is faster on all three boards in both f+b and
fwd, and every 95 % confidence interval excludes 1.0.

**NVIDIA B200 (sm_100a) and NVIDIA GB300 (sm_103a)**: unchanged; the
compiled programs are identical to FlashInfer main, the launch trace is
identical, and outputs are bitwise equal.

This PR leaves the kernel's other variants unchanged (FP32 and BF16
beta/dbeta forms, HV = H, 2H and 3H head groups, split scan plans,
serial-scan tail_g3 plans, and the w2/e4/e8 wavefront forms), and the
kernel ships on sm_100a (B200), sm_103a (GB300) and sm_107a (R200).
