perf(cake_dense_projection_gemm): restore the K1 weight-gradient routes that meet the deterministic package's absolute FP64 budgets by yyihuang · Pull Request #8743 · flashinfer-ai/flashinfer

yyihuang · 2026-11-05T02:13:31Z

Cake's dense projection GEMM ships as two packages: the deterministic flashinfer.experimental.dense_projection_det_gemm and the non-deterministic flashinfer.experimental.dense_projection_gemm. The non-deterministic package holds two GEMMs, K1 (BF16 or FP32 output) and an FP32 router GEMM. Each has forward, weight-gradient (wgrad) and input-gradient (dgrad) programs. This PR restores K1 wgrad routes to the non-deterministic wgrad programs (block_n 64–256, one or two K splits) on the deterministic=False path. It does so only in windows where those programs meet the deterministic package's original absolute error budgets. For BF16 output the budget is atol = rtol = 1e-2 with zero violations. For FP32 output it is rel_fro ≤ 5e-5 and max_abs ≤ 1e-3 · max|ref|. On main these windows run the deterministic package's wgrad program. The restored windows cover the following parts:

148-SM B200 (sm_100a) and B300 (sm_103a)
152-SM GB200 (sm_100a) and GB300 (sm_103a)
212-SM and 208-SM R200 (sm_107a)

Depending on shape and part, the windows run from T = 1025 up to T = 65537. The README lists the exact windows. Several of them apply only when T spans an odd number of 64-token K blocks. On 148-SM B300, the PR also moves 5120→48 and 5120→64 BF16 from main's (64, 2) split route to the deterministic program, because the split program misses the BF16 budget there. Zones where neither program meets the budget keep main's route, and the README discloses them. sm_107a parts with 216 or more SMs also keep main's route until a follow-up qualifies them. The other variants (the deterministic package, the router GEMM, and K1's forward and dgrad programs) also ship for sm_100a, sm_103a and sm_107a, and this PR changes K1 wgrad routing only.

Restored windows (231 rows). In wgrad, the new route is 1.03–2.37x faster than deterministic Cake, which is main's route there. The whole-step gain is smaller: 0.99–1.69x for bwd and 0.96–1.36x for the checkpointed 2fwd+bwd step.

Three rows fall below 1.00x. Each is inside its part's A/A noise band:

R200 (212 SMs) 4096→1024 at T = 16384, 2fwd+bwd: 0.96x in the first run and 0.99x in a repeat run.
GB200 4096→64 at T = 65537, bwd: 0.99x (1.00x in a repeat run).

One more row drops below 1.00x only in eager timing, which the tables below do not show. GB200 4096→64 at T = 16173 is 1.01x in 2fwd+bwd under CUDA graph but 0.99x in eager.

Against non-Cake SOTA:

sm_100a and sm_103a parts: the restored wgrad route loses at T = 1025, the first T of every window that starts there (0.62–0.66x), and at the last timed T of the two 4096→128 windows (0.82x at T = 4031 on GB200, 0.94x at T = 6079 on GB300). It wins in every table row with T ≥ 12289 (1.09–1.22x).
R200 parts: wgrad is 0.54–1.06x on 212 SMs and 0.77–1.02x on 208 SMs. It reaches 1.00x or better only for 4096→512 near T = 16k, and for 4096→128 at T = 7615 on 212 SMs. Every R200 whole-step row stays below SOTA (0.50–0.99x).

B300 rows moved to the deterministic program (9 rows). On B300 (148 SMs), 5120→48 BF16 (T = 40961–49151) and 5120→64 BF16 (T = 47105–49152) now run the deterministic program. These rows are at parity with deterministic Cake by construction (1.00x) and are 0.99–1.09x vs SOTA. They are slower than main's split route by 5.38–6.31 % in wgrad, 2.64–3.41 % in bwd and 1.31–1.67 % in 2fwd+bwd.

Min and max speedup over the 240 rows of the per-shape table below. The rows cover the 32 (shape, GPU) windows this PR changes: 30 restored windows, plus the 2 B300 windows moved to the deterministic program. Each window appears at its first and last timed token count T, plus T = 16172 / 16173, 16231 and 16384 where the window includes them. Points timed in two runs appear twice; the second is marked "repeat run". Where a window edge was not timed exactly, the row uses a timed T with the same number of 64-token K blocks. For example, the GB200 4096→128 window ends at T = 4032 and is shown at T = 4031. The exception is B300 5120→64 BF16, where only T = 47105 was timed and the window end, T = 49152, was not. GPUs: B200 (sm_100a, 148 SMs), GB200 (sm_100a, 152 SMs), B300 (sm_103a, 148 SMs), GB300 (sm_103a, 152 SMs), R200 (sm_107a, 212 SMs), R200 (sm_107a, 208 SMs). CUDA 13.4 toolchain (nvcc 13.4.92), cuBLAS / cuBLASLt 13.8.0, torch 2.14.1+cu130. Drivers: 580.82.07 (B200), 580.126.20 (GB200), 580.126.09 (B300), 580.159.03 (GB300), 620.43 (R200, 212 SMs), 615.71.10 (R200, 208 SMs). Latency method: CUDA graph replay, with L2 flushed (a 2 x L2 buffer zeroed) before every iteration, measured as the CUPTI span of all launches of the operation. Each value is the median over 4 processes of the per-process medians. The 4 processes are two launch layouts x two row orders; B300 uses 8, running each combination twice. Whole-step medians use 15 groups per process on sm_100a and sm_103a parts and 9 on R200. Deterministic Cake = the deterministic package's program, which is main's current route for every restored window. Non-Cake SOTA = the faster of torch.mm (cuBLAS heuristic) and the cuBLASLt heuristic's top-8 algorithms, with the same BF16 inputs and output dtype, measured in the same processes. For bwd and 2fwd+bwd, SOTA uses the fastest library launch per operation. Speedup = baseline latency / new latency (> 1 means the new route is faster). bwd = dgrad + wgrad. 2fwd+bwd = checkpointed step (2 x forward + dgrad + wgrad). Each Cake arm uses its own package's forward and dgrad programs. A/A noise: the deterministic wgrad program was timed against a second, independently prepared instance of itself in the same processes, over all timed points. In bwd and 2fwd+bwd, the second instance runs with the non-deterministic package's forward and dgrad. The ratios over wgrad, bwd and 2fwd+bwd were 0.970–1.025 (B200), 0.943–1.020 (GB200), 0.988–1.017 (B300), 0.992–1.019 (GB300), 0.957–1.128 (R200, 212 SMs) and 0.940–1.023 (R200, 208 SMs). For B300 5120→48 / 5120→64 BF16, the new latency is that second instance.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Improvements
- Eligible two-split routing ranges now apply to both odd and even token-block counts on supported hardware, with documented exclusions and overrides retained.
- Routing decisions reflect measured performance and FP64 accuracy-budget results, with updated qualifications for supported token ranges and hardware.
Documentation
- Expanded guidance on routing behavior, accuracy exceptions, and measured results.

…es that meet the deterministic package's absolute FP64 budgets The K1 accuracy rule is the deterministic package's own budget against FP64 (BF16 atol = rtol = 1e-2 with no element outside; FP32 relative Frobenius error <= 5e-5 and max error <= 1e-3 * max|ref|). The ratio to the deterministic program's error is reported as data, not used as a rule. - sm_107a FP32 4096 / 5120 -> 512 / 1024 one-split rows: on 216 SMs and up the deterministic program from 40961 tokens (was 961); on 208 and 212 SMs the single window token counts 16231 / 16384 (was 16172 to 16384); the 216-SM override of 4096 -> 1024 FP32, (192, 1) at 16172 to 16384 tokens. - K1_SPLIT_ODD_BLOCK_EXCLUDED_TOKENS: the sm_100a / sm_103a FP32 two-split rows from 65538 tokens (was 1025 / 12289); sm_107a 8192 -> 128 FP32 entry removed. - K1_SPLIT_EVEN_BLOCK_RANGES_BY_SM -> K1_TWO_SPLIT_RANGES_BY_SM: the two-split ranges hold at every K-block count. - sm_103a 5120 -> 32 / 48 / 64 / 128 BF16 entries from 61442 tokens (was 32768; provisional). - sm_100a 5120 -> 32 BF16 from 49153 tokens on 148 SMs and up (was 65537): the split program missed the BF16 budget for one of 10 seeds there. - Tests check the absolute budget (_k1_check); the det-relative helper is removed. README: the rule text, q as data, and the token counts where both programs miss the budget.

…the token counts of the chain ranges On 216-SM sm_107a parts K1_CHAIN_RANGES_BY_SM runs 4096 -> 1024 FP32 with three chains at 16172 tokens, before the 216-SM override; the override tests check the override's program at the window token counts outside the chain ranges.

… rewrapped K1 captions

…plit weight gradients end at 45057 tokens, 5120 -> 48 at 49152 The split program met the absolute FP64 budget up to 45057 tokens (5120 -> 48: 49152) on a 152-SM GB300 part (10 seeds, 20 runs each) and missed it for some seed at the next measured token count. The rows keep the deterministic program from there up.

…erministic program from 49153 tokens on 148 SMs only Measured with 10 seeds (20 runs each) at 32769 to 65025 tokens: on a 148-SM B200 part the split program's output missed the BF16 budget for one seed at 49153 tokens, where the deterministic program's met it on every seed; on a 152-SM GB200 part it met the budget on every seed up to 49153 tokens. From 53249 tokens both programs miss it on both parts, so the row keeps its entry from 65537 tokens and the 148-SM part gets its own entry from 49153 tokens.

… gradients end at 40960 tokens, and 148-SM parts run the deterministic program where only the split program misses the BF16 budget On a 148-SM B300 part (10 seeds, 20 runs each, 36865 to 61441 tokens) the split program missed the BF16 budget for one seed at 40961 and 40962 tokens of 5120 -> 48 and at 47105 tokens of 5120 -> 64, where the deterministic program met it on every seed. 5120 -> 48 now runs the deterministic program from 40961 tokens on 152 or more SMs, and on 148 SMs 5120 -> 48 does at 40961 to 49151 tokens and 5120 -> 64 at 47105 to 49152 tokens. Above those ranges both programs miss the budget on 148 SMs and the split program stays; the README says so.

…the entries of the exact-SM-count table A token count one past an entry of K1_SPLIT_RULE_EXCLUDED_TOKENS can lie inside an entry of K1_SPLIT_RULE_EXCLUDED_TOKENS_BY_SM for the part's SM count (sm_100a 5120 -> 32 BF16 at 65536 tokens on 148 SMs); there the row runs the deterministic program, as k1_plan does.

…-split lookup, and the formatter's layout of the 148-SM token tuple

…dd-block entry on a part the test plans The entry starts at 148 SMs, so the test plans 148, 149 and 212 SMs for it; the spot check at 98305 tokens now uses 148 SMs.

Walkthrough

K1 weight-gradient routing now uses measured FP64 error-budget and timing criteria. Two-split ranges apply at either K-block parity, with chain ranges taking precedence. Architecture-specific exclusions and planner tests are updated.

Changes: K1 weight-gradient routing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Measured eligibility and routing ranges `flashinfer/experimental/dense_projection_gemm/cake_backend.py`, `flashinfer/experimental/dense_projection_gemm/README.md`	The documented route criteria and architecture-specific token ranges are revised. Two-split ranges now apply at either block parity, and chain ranges take precedence over other K1 tables.
Planner precedence and route coverage `flashinfer/experimental/dense_projection_gemm/cake_backend.py`, `tests/experimental/test_cake_dense_projection_gemm.py`	`k1_plan` considers matching two-split ranges without a block-parity check. Planner tests cover range boundaries, exclusions, overrides, and chain-range fallback behavior.
GPU accuracy validation `tests/experimental/test_cake_dense_projection_gemm.py`	GPU accuracy checks use the FP64 K1 budgets. Three-chain tests no longer require a conditional comparison against deterministic output.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Issue 8069: The changes address part of its routing objective by updating K1 routes against the deterministic package’s FP64 accuracy budgets.

Merge Risk: Low · up to d4c6f

The routing changes have a small validation gap: three edge cases would accept an expected kernel launch that leaves output unwritten. Adding a finiteness assertion would improve confidence; no production failure is established.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the change: restoring K1 weight-gradient (wgrad) routes in the cake_dense_projection_gemm package where they meet the deterministic package's absolute FP64 accuracy budgets. The raw summary and PR objectives both describe this as the main change. The title is specific and uses the conventional perf() prefix. It omits the scope of the windows and the B300 route moves, which is acceptable for a title.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template in substance. It covers the description (what changes and why), the accuracy budgets, the affected hardware, and measured results. The Related Issues section is not filled in. The Tests checklist is not ticked. The Experimental Track section is not completed, and the experimental-tests fence still contains only the template comments. The PR objectives say the PR touches experimental code under flashinfer/experimental/, so that section applies. The description is detailed and mostly complete, but these template sections need attention.

Resolution

Fill in the Related Issues section with the tracking issue or PR #8743. Tick the Tests items once the test runs pass. Complete the Experimental Track section: add the tracking issue number, confirm the checklist items, and replace the commented lines in the experimental-tests fence with the real test targets (for example tests/experimental/test_cake_dense_projection_gemm.py). Add a Reviewer Notes entry if reviewers should focus on the B300 route moves or the sm_107a exclusions.

…ute on 148 SMs, and the GPU edge test checks accuracy only where the deterministic program meets the budget A finer 10-seed grid (45569 to 49665 tokens) on a 148-SM B200 part and two 152-SM GB200 parts shows both programs at the BF16 budget's edge from 47105 tokens, each missing it for some seed at some token counts, so the 148-SM entry from 49153 tokens goes and the README says so. At the range edges of the 148-SM table where the deterministic program itself misses the BF16 budget, the GPU edge test asserts the route and runs the accuracy rule at the nearest measured token count of the same range where the deterministic program met it.

…eterministic program at 16384 tokens on 212 SMs A strict re-measurement of the restored window on a 212-SM R200 part: at 16384 tokens the 192-wide one-split program met the K1 rule at the operation but left the checkpointed step 4.0 % slower in graph replays and 1.4 % in eager launches (ratio of the medians), above the 1.3 % bound, as 4096 -> 512 and 5120 -> 512 already do there.

…erministic program at odd block counts from 14338 to 32767 tokens On a 152-SM GB300 part the two-split program at odd block counts left the checkpointed step 2.0 to 2.3 % slower in graph replays at 16173 tokens, the backward pass 1.6 and 2.0 % slower in eager launches at 20481 and 28673 tokens, and failed the K1 rule in one of 8 groups at 18433 tokens; it kept the rule and the 1.3 % bound from 1025 to 14337 tokens, which keep the two-split program.

…k K1 table with a symbol that keeps the caption's emphasis

…eterministic program at 16384 tokens on 208 SMs A strict re-measurement of the restored window on a 208-SM R200 part: at 16384 tokens the deterministic program's plan (160-wide tiles) is faster; the one-split program took 61.27 against 53.49 us in graph replays and left the checkpointed step 6.3 % slower.

…192-wide program at 16384 tokens on 212 SMs The checkpointed-step failure at 16384 tokens on a 212-SM R200 part did not reproduce in a second measurement (and an A/A run of the deterministic program at that point varied as much), so the 212-SM window runs from 16173 to 16384 tokens again, 16231 excepted.

…eterministic program from 32768 tokens, and the GPU edge test treats every 148-SM edge where both programs miss the BF16 budget alike On a 152-SM GB300 part the 5120 -> 128 BF16 split program failed the K1 rule at 5 of 11 token counts from 32768 to 45057 (32768, 33793, 38913, 43009 and 44033) and kept it at the other 6, so no measured window holds and the row is not restored. 10 seeds of both programs at every edge of the 148-SM tables (B200 and B300): the edges where the deterministic program itself misses the BF16 budget are sm_100a 4096 -> 64 at 65535 tokens, sm_103a 4096 -> 32 at 65535, 5120 -> 48 at 49152, 5120 -> 64 at 47104 and 49153, and 5120 -> 128 at 65537. There the GPU edge test asserts the route only and runs the accuracy rule at the nearest measured token count of the same range where both programs met it on every seed (41985 or 45057 tokens), or not at all where none was measured; every other edge met it with both programs on every seed. The README lists these ranges.

Brings in the 148-SM compensated router windows (flashinfer-ai#8707) and the other main changes. README conflicts resolved key by key: the router text and the K2 weight-gradient column take main's version, the K1 restore text and the two-split table rows keep this branch's version.

…107a parts Parts of 216 or more sm_107a SMs keep main's routing: the FP32 one-split rows 4096 / 5120 -> 512 / 1024 run the deterministic program from 961 tokens up (outside the three-chain ranges), 4096 -> 1024 FP32 has no 216-SM override, and 8192 -> 128 FP32 keeps its odd-block range from 1025 to 8192 tokens. Their time on 216-SM parts has not been measured; the restore of these entries moves to a follow-up. The 208-SM and 212-SM routes of this change stay.

Check output finiteness at K1_P1_EDGES entries mapped to None.

At these edges the loop skips _k1_check, so nothing reads out after the launch. A launch that runs the expected program but does not write the NaN-filled out passes. The None waiver covers the BF16 accuracy budget only. Add a finiteness assertion before continue. Update the docstring's "(none: no check)" to say that finiteness is still checked.

Conflicts in flashinfer/experimental/dense_projection_gemm/README.md (3 hunks) and tests/experimental/test_cake_dense_projection_gemm.py (4 hunks); cake_backend.py merged cleanly. Both sides kept: main's K1_TWO_SPLIT_RANGES_BY_SM (either block parity), accuracy-rule and router text and tests, and this branch's K1_ONE_SPLIT_RANGES_BY_SM rule, README rows and tests. The one-split text in cake_backend.py, README.md and the test docstrings now describes the routing it replaces after flashinfer-ai#8743 (K1_TWO_SPLIT_RANGES_BY_SM at either block parity).

The non-deterministic package holds two GEMMs: K1 (BF16 or FP32 output) and an FP32 router GEMM. Each has forward, weight-gradient (wgrad) and input-gradient (dgrad) programs. #8743 restored the faster non-deterministic K1 wgrad routes on the `deterministic=False` path for 148- and 152-SM sm_100a and sm_103a parts and for 212- and 208-SM R200 parts. This PR restores them on R200 (sm_107a) parts with exactly 216 SMs, in five windows over four shapes. On main, these windows run the deterministic package's wgrad program. Parts with 217 or more SMs keep main's routes. The other variants (the deterministic package, the router GEMM, and K1's forward and dgrad programs) also ship for sm_100a, sm_103a and sm_107a, and this PR changes K1 wgrad routing on 216-SM sm_107a parts only. **216-SM R200 windows (60 rows).** The new route is faster than deterministic Cake in all 60 rows, and deterministic Cake is main's route on these rows. Across CUDA graph and eager mode, the new route is 1.06–2.23x faster in wgrad, 1.03–1.71x in bwd and 1.01–1.33x in the checkpointed 2fwd+bwd step. Against non-Cake SOTA, the new route is 0.55–1.04x in wgrad, 0.58–0.98x in bwd and 0.50–0.98x in 2fwd+bwd. Only four rows reach 1.00x or better, all of them wgrad: - 4096→512 at T = 16173: 1.01x in both modes. - 8192→128 at T = 8128: 1.03x under CUDA graph and 1.04x in eager. The other 56 rows are slower than SOTA. The lowest is 8192→128 at T = 1025, 2fwd+bwd under CUDA graph, at 0.50x. It is unknown whether the SOTA library launches meet the original FP32 budget (see the caption). | GPU | op | rows | vs deterministic Cake, min | vs deterministic Cake, max | vs non-Cake SOTA, min | vs non-Cake SOTA, max | | --- | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | | R200 (sm_107a, 216 SMs) | wgrad, CUDA graph | 10 | 1.07 | 2.23 | 0.55 | 1.03 | | R200 (sm_107a, 216 SMs) | bwd, CUDA graph | 10 | 1.03 | 1.71 | 0.60 | 0.98 | | R200 (sm_107a, 216 SMs) | 2fwd+bwd, CUDA graph | 10 | 1.02 | 1.33 | 0.50 | 0.97 | | R200 (sm_107a, 216 SMs) | wgrad, eager | 10 | 1.06 | 2.23 | 0.57 | 1.04 | | R200 (sm_107a, 216 SMs) | bwd, eager | 10 | 1.03 | 1.71 | 0.58 | 0.98 | | R200 (sm_107a, 216 SMs) | 2fwd+bwd, eager | 10 | 1.01 | 1.33 | 0.59 | 0.98 | *Min and max speedup over the 60 rows of the per-shape table below. The rows cover the 5 windows this PR restores on R200 parts with exactly 216 SMs: 4096→512 n128, 1 split (T = 16173–32767 except 16231 and 16384); 4096→1024 n192, 1 split (T = 16173–16383 except 16231); 4096→1024 n256, 1 split (T = 16385–32767); 5120→1024 n256, 1 split (T = 16385–32768); and 8192→128 n128, 2 splits (T = 1025–8192, odd numbers of 64-token K blocks only). Each window appears at its first and last token count T, in CUDA graph and eager mode, and every window edge was timed exactly. T = 16173 is the first T of both the 4096→512 window and the 4096→1024 (n192) window. T = 16172, 16231 and 16384 lie outside every window and keep main's route. Parts with more than 216 SMs keep main's routes and are not in the table. GPU: R200 (sm_107a, 216 SMs), driver 615.71.10 (CUDA driver API 13.4). CUDA 13.4 toolchain (nvcc 13.4.92), cuBLAS / cuBLASLt 13.8.0.4, torch 2.14.1+cu130. Latency method: the L2 was flushed before every iteration by zeroing a 2 x L2 buffer (cold L2). Latency is the CUPTI span of all launches of the operation, using CUDA graph replay or eager launch. Each value is the median of 4 per-process medians, from two process layouts x two launch orders. Each process ran 15 rotated groups x 20 timed iterations for wgrad, and 9 groups x 20 for bwd and 2fwd+bwd. Deterministic Cake = the deterministic package's program. Main already runs it on these rows for `deterministic=False`, so it is also the previous route. Non-Cake SOTA = the fastest of torch.mm (cuBLAS heuristic) and the cuBLASLt heuristic's top-8 algorithms, picked per process and mode, with the same BF16 inputs and FP32 output, measured in the same processes. cuBLASLt was fastest in 68 of the 80 wgrad cells (20 wgrad rows x 4 processes) and torch.mm in 12. For bwd and 2fwd+bwd, SOTA uses the fastest library launch per GEMM. It is unknown whether these library launches meet the original FP32 budget (rel_fro ≤ 5e-5 and max|err| ≤ 1e-3·max|ref| vs FP64), because that check is not in the results available for this table. The benchmark required only rel_fro ≤ 1e-3 vs FP64 for the cuBLASLt algorithms and for the per-GEMM library picks, or 2e-2 for the BF16-output forward and dgrad. It did not apply an accuracy filter to torch.mm in wgrad. The new route's program met the original FP32 budget at all 32 timed (shape, T) points inside these windows, with 10 input seeds x 20 reruns each. Speedup = baseline latency / new latency (> 1 means the new route is faster). bwd = dgrad + wgrad. 2fwd+bwd = checkpointed step (2 x forward + dgrad + wgrad). Each Cake arm uses its own package's forward and dgrad programs. A/A noise: a second, independently prepared launch of the deterministic wgrad program was timed in the same processes, over all 38 timed (shape, T) groups of the two runs on this part. The ratio of deterministic to A/A wgrad was 0.951–1.008 under CUDA graph and 0.990–1.015 in eager. When the A/A launch ran with this package's forward and dgrad, as in the new arm, the bwd and 2fwd+bwd ratios were 0.944–1.046 under CUDA graph and 0.919–1.041 in eager.* <details> <summary>Per-shape latency (µs) and speedup, 60 rows</summary> | GPU / architecture | workload / shape / dtype / mode | operation | deterministic Cake latency (us) | non-Cake SOTA latency (us) | new non-deterministic Cake latency (us) | speedup vs deterministic Cake | speedup vs non-Cake SOTA | | --- | --- | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | | R200 (sm_107a, 216 SMs) | 4096→512, T=16173;

Some cases now use revised split or multi-chain execution, while specified larger-token or device configurations retain deterministic execution. * **Documentation** * Clarified routing eligibility, device-count boundaries, token-range exceptions, and deterministic fallbacks.  --------- Co-authored-by: Yingyi Huang <averyh@nvidia.com>

The op dense_gemm runs two GEMMs of miles' Megatron model code on the vendored dense projection packages (SM100a / SM103a / SM107a): - batched_projection(x, weight, *, weight_layout): the per-head MLA q-absorb and value projections and the output-group projection, one batched BF16 GEMM over strided views, forward and both gradients; - router_gating(x, weight): the MoE router gate in FP32 (BF16 operands, FP32 logits; FP32 gradients through the exact BF16x3 split). miles selects them with --batched-projection-gemm-backend cake and --moe-router-gemm-backend cake, which require --train-backend megatron. Variants. det runs the deterministic package and repeats bit for bit. fast runs the non-deterministic package, which keeps det's forwards and input gradients and runs its own split-K / stream-K weight gradients on the rows and token counts its tables select for the device. A call reads the configured variant when its forward runs. Under torch.use_deterministic_algorithms(True), fast runs det and logs this once. miles' command line offers det only (cli_variants=("det",)): the hidden --cake-dense-gemm-variant carries the resolved det. A direct caller can configure fast. The command line will offer fast once it is shown reachable and correct for miles' calls. Known accuracy misses of fast. On 148-SM sm_103a parts, the two-split weight gradients that fast runs for the single-head 5120 -> 48 and 5120 -> 64 BF16 projections missed the deterministic package's BF16 budget (atol = rtol = 1e-2, no element outside) for one of 10 seeds at 40961 and 40962 tokens (5120 -> 48) and at 47105 tokens (5120 -> 64), where the deterministic program met it, as measured in flashinfer-ai/flashinfer#8743. The op module lists them and the README row points there. miles calls neither shape. The FP32-output weight gradients that flashinfer-ai/flashinfer#8509 moves to the deterministic program on 216-SM sm_107a parts are not reachable here: these entry points run the projection weight gradients with BF16 output only. Prebuild does not depend on the token count. The plan of a GEMM changes with the token count, so a prebuild for some token counts left programs to compile in the middle of a step at another count (239). prebuild(projections=..., router=...) now takes the model shapes only. It builds every program that the two packages register for the device's architecture, for the GEMM kinds given. Batch invariance. Neither variant is batch-invariant: a token's results can change in their last bits with the token count of the call. The README row, the op module and the entry points say so. FlashInfer revision. Both packages stay at FlashInfer c5db8d3. From flashinfer-ai/flashinfer#8671 and flashinfer-ai/flashinfer#8689 on, the non-deterministic package runs weight-gradient rows and router windows on the deterministic program to meet a per-seed comparison with the deterministic program's error, a rule that no longer applies; the deterministic package's absolute budgets remain the bar. flashinfer-ai/flashinfer#8743 restored the weight-gradient rows that meet those budgets and moved the 148-SM rows above to the deterministic program, and flashinfer-ai/flashinfer#8730 restored the router windows. On sm_107a parts with 216 SMs or more, the weight-gradient rows keep that rule until flashinfer-ai/flashinfer#8782 (open), so every later revision still carries rows of it. c5db8d3 carries only its earlier rows (flashinfer-ai/flashinfer#8326): on sm_103a parts with 152 SMs or more, the single-head 5120 -> 32, 48, 64 and 128 BF16 weight gradients run the deterministic program from 32768 tokens. miles calls none of these shapes. The extra dense_gemm installs cuda-bindings (12.8 or newer, the oldest toolkit these programs support): the packages call the CUDA driver through it for the L2 size and for the zero fill of the FP32 router gradients under fast. The README's Install extras table lists it. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
