perf(moe): specialize valid single-token routes - #248
Conversation
Avoid per-route bounds predicates in the unpadded M=1 micro kernel. Multi-row and padded launches retain the existing guards.\n\nAssisted-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>\nSigned-off-by: MadeBy561 <madeby561@gmail.com>

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The M=1 fast path now assumes all route IDs are valid; malformed caller-supplied IDs could cause incorrect GPU memory access or runtime faults. Merge should wait for caller-side validation or retention of the bounds check, or require explicit owner acceptance of this exposure. Suggested reviewers: Caution Pre-merge checks failedPlease resolve all errors before merging. Addressing warnings is optional.

Full details: Context-Independent Repository ProseExplanation The changed PR description uses the benchmark label “C1” and the shorthand “MTP0” in “GLM-5.3 NVFP4 TP4 MTP0 normal-sampling C1” without defining what either term denotes. The repository diff contains only the intended three code lines, and the commit prose describes the resulting behavior, so this failure is limited to the PR description's context-dependent performance claim. Resolution Define the benchmark terms before using them. For example: “On the GLM-5.3 model with NVFP4 weights, tensor parallelism 4, [define MTP0], normal sampling, and [define benchmark profile C1], throughput increased from 123.2 to 128.3 tok/s at context 0 and from 122.7 to 127.8 tok/s at 8k.” Replace the bracketed text with the actual meanings, or remove the labels. Full details: Security Claim And Implementation ScopeExplanation PASS: The security check is not applicable. The PR describes a performance specialization for valid unpadded M=1 routes, not a security fix, hardening change, vulnerability fix, or hostile-input defense. The commit changes only Full details: Serving Hot-Path InvariantsExplanation PASS — The diff adds only a Full details: Performance Claim EvidenceExplanation The PR makes a performance claim, but the required evidence is not repository-visible. HEAD b42f0d9 changes only b12x/moe/_shared/kernels/micro.py by three lines. The repository contains no record of the claimed GLM-5.3 timings, performance command, comparison revisions, or current revision provenance. The description names a correctness pytest path and reports 6 passed, but that test is a CUDA-graph oracle test, not the target performance command. The description gives the GPU and operating mode and shows before/after tok/s values, but it does not provide a worktree, comparison revisions, raw timing samples, or an explicit ratio and ratio direction. Existing repository benchmark code supports per-iteration timing, but this PR adds no result artifact or recorded run. Resolution Add a tracked performance-evidence artifact or equivalent repository-visible record. Record the exact target benchmark command and script/model path; the baseline and PR commit revisions; the worktree and clean/dirty state; the physical GPU identity and operating mode; the correctness result for the same configuration; every raw timing sample for each arm and condition; and the ratio formula with its direction, such as

927-929: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 TrivialRecord complete production-path evidence for the throughput claim.
The PR objective reports
123.2 → 128.3 tok/sand122.7 → 127.8 tok/s, but it does not include the production command, comparison revisions, isolated worktree, physical GPU UUID and mode, correctness state, CUDA-graph replay state, stable addresses, fixed workspace capacity, or raw warm/cold samples. Record these details before using the result as evidence for this specialization.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.”

Preserve the M=1 route-ID bounds check.
build_tp_moe_fp4_binding checks topk_ids shape and dtype, but not expert-ID values. For m == 1, _get_micro_kernel enables single_token=True; _resolve_route_expert then marks every ID active. An ID below zero or at least cfg.weight_E can index w2_alphas[eid] and compute an invalid weight base. Validate route IDs at bind/admission time, or retain the kernel check.

Purpose
Compile out route bounds predicates for the unpadded M=1 micro-MoE specialization. The single-token launch receives exactly
top_krouter-selected expert IDs; multi-row and padded launches retain the existing invalid-route guards.This does not change weights, quantization, activation math, routing, or output dtype. No existing open B12X PR covers this M=1 specialization.
