📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughPCIe DCP Kimi gather and top-k selection now use address-based 16-byte copies, packed warp reductions, deterministic tie-breaking, shared-memory merging, and runtime world sizes 2, 4, 8, and 16. Benchmarks and tests derive dimensions from the selected world size. ChangesKimi PCIe DCP gather and top-k
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR adds a fused Kimi-K3 gather and expert-selection path intended to reduce decode-layer latency. Correctness validation is reported, but the benchmark does not yet provide balanced ordering and sufficient reproducibility details to substantiate the claimed speedup, so merge is reasonable with explicit follow-up before relying on that performance result.

- Around line 1493-1494: Update the comment near the linear pack index
calculation to remove the TP16-specific constant 56 and describe the
world-size-independent invariant: multiplying the linear pack index by four maps
each pack’s four floats to its corresponding global expert indices, based on
router_pack and the per-rank pack count.
- Around line 2230-2231: Validate the grouped_topk oracle for the TP2 and TP4
configurations using the existing benchmark, running both world sizes across
random, ties, near_ties, and wide cases; record commands, GPU/mode, correctness
results, and raw timings. Do not claim TP2/TP4 production-path coverage from the
CPU-mocked tests; ensure the reported evidence compares expert IDs and weights
and checks finite/nonzero and special-value behavior.
In `@b12x/comm/pcie/pcie_dcp_a2a.py`:
- Line 1335: Generalize prepare_graph_all_gather_pair_kimi_topk to accept all
supported self.world_size values instead of rejecting non-16 configurations. Use
self.world_size rather than literal 16 when compiling via
_get_compiled_all_gather_pair, and update the docstring to describe the
generalized launcher while preserving prewarm registration for CUDA graph
capture.
In `@benchmarks/benchmark_kimi_k3_pair_topk.py`:
- Around line 103-113: Update _equal_with_matching_nan to use an FP32 one-ULP
tolerance by replacing the fixed atol=1e-7 with rtol=2.0**-23 and atol=0.0 in
torch.isclose; preserve the existing NaN and special-value matching behavior.

Gather BF16 down-projection shards and FP32 router shards through one bounded PCIe DCP launch, then select the exact 16 routed experts before returning to the model. Support tensor-parallel worlds of two, four, eight, and sixteen ranks, including explicit CUDA Graph prewarming for every supported world size. Expert IDs and gathered projection values match the separate gather plus grouped_topk reference exactly. Router weights permit one FP32 rounding step because the two implementations reduce in different parallel orders. Compatibility: the existing paired gather remains available; callers opt into fused expert selection through the dedicated API. Validation on NVIDIA Blackwell SM120 GPUs: - 52 PCIe DCP unit tests passed. - TP2, TP4, TP8, and TP16 matched the grouped_topk oracle for random, tied, near-tied, and special-value inputs. - CUDA Graph replay matched eager results at every tested world size. - The fused path measured 1.00x, 1.12x, 1.08x, and 1.09x the reference throughput at TP2, TP4, TP8, and TP16 in the short qualification sweep.

Make the speedup evidence balanced and reproducible.
Lines 307-320 measure every reference sample before every fused sample. This fixed order can bias the reported ratio. Alternate the graph order for each sample and retain labeled raw samples.
Lines 321-336 do not record the command, source revision or worktree, GPU UUID and mode, compiler artifact map, correctness state, or cold samples. Emit this evidence with the timing output before reporting a speedup.
As per coding guidelines: “Benchmark exact cached objects with balanced ordering” and record source, GPU, correctness, warm/cold samples, and ratio direction. As per path instructions: “A performance claim must identify the real target path, comparison revisions, command, worktree, physical GPU and mode, correctness state, raw timings, and ratio direction.”

Status
Implemented and GPU-qualified at revision
df78ccb7ff48018bc0f4de428dc29450bf3be348.Behavior
Adds a fused PCIe distributed-context-parallel operation for the Kimi-K3 decode projection pair. The operation:
Local shard widths, graph-prewarm shapes, and CuTeDSL launch geometry are derived from the configured tensor-parallel world size. TP2, TP4, TP8, and TP16 are supported.
Technical reason
A separate router all-gather followed by
grouped_topkadds a collective launch and repeats global-memory traffic in every decode layer. The fused operation transfers the router row in 16-byte packs and performs deterministic two-level top-16 selection in the gather kernel. Packed score/expert keys preserve lower-expert-ID tie breaking.The gather loops resolve one peer address before issuing each copy. This prevents a runtime-selected source from cloning the payload loop into every compile-time peer branch.
Compatibility
all_gather_pairandall_gather_headsinterfaces remain available.grouped_topkpath as a correctness fallback.Validation
Conditions: one 16-GPU NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell host, CUDA 13.3, PyTorch 2.13.0, CUDA graphs enabled, 100 warm-up iterations, 1,000 measured iterations per sample, and five samples per topology. The reported speedup is
reference median / fused median, so values greater than one favor the fused operation. Raw samples, device state, source revision, logs, and SHA-256 checksums are stored underb12x-pr216-qualification-20260816in the qualification artifact set.tests/comm/test_pcie_dcp_a2a.pypassed all 52 tests.Conclusion: the fused operation preserves the reference routing result across every supported topology and reduces the projection-gather-plus-routing latency for TP2, TP4, TP8, and TP16.
