The SM120 packed MLA reader gains opt-in vectorized query/KV staging, balanced split ranges, and FP32 partials. Static/BF16 execution remains available. The Kimi-K3 TP9/DCP9 adapter integration is vLLM #644.

GitHub reports conflicts with master. The published evidence applies to the serving-lineage source identified here; a merge-resolution port requires its own compatibility checks.

Behavior and compatibility

  • split_policy="balanced" distributes each row's live 64-candidate chunks across a bounded number of splits. Grid, scratch capacity, and compile key remain capacity-based. It requires per-token lengths and rejects dual-cache launches.
  • partial_dtype=torch.float32 keeps split partials and their merge in FP32, with an independent output buffer. This changes association and rounding relative to BF16 partials.
  • B12X_MLA_SM120_GLM_FASTPATH=1 enables packed 656-byte staging and vector shared-memory loads in the GLM generic 16-head per-token reader. Hardware residual reconstruction is a separate opt-in numerical choice.
  • Online softmax returns and rebinds accumulator state across serial chunks. This prevents a DSL conditional region from discarding cross-chunk rescaling; a late-maximum regression covers the failure.
  • Packed uint8 queries contain the same 656-byte record produced by query quantization. They allow quantization before the DCP head gather and require the per-token GLM fast path.

This branch uses the serving sparse-MLA binding lineage. Integration into master requires adapting its cache-owning bindings and planned-cache traits. Neither balanced/FP32 execution nor hardware residual reconstruction is enabled in the qualified DFlash2 serving composition.

Evidence and reproduction

Packed Kimi MLA qualification is published in docs/evidence/kimi_packed_mla_tp9.md with a JSON record of raw replay samples, GPU operating state, source identities, and output/LSE digests. The benchmark is benchmarks/benchmark_kimi_packed_mla.py; validation/attention/check_kimi_packed_mla_high_pages.py checks physical addressing beyond signed 32-bit range.

The recorded four-row workload uses 99 effective heads, 1,536-token pages, 656-byte records, and 116,736 local capacity. Padding to 112 heads completes a 16-head tile and removes the eight-head tail launch. At three live lengths and two query amplitudes, vector loads and 112-head padding preserve output and LSE bytes under static/BF16 execution. Balanced/FP32 results are recorded separately and remain research-only for serving.

At approximately 64 Ki context, the combined vLLM/B12X serving composition changes rank-zero target graph duration from 35.35 to 30.85 ms and the packed MLA kernel sum from 7.50 to 2.83 ms. These are different sampled continuations; fixed-input kernel comparisons provide the numerical control. They are not standalone PR throughput measurements, and cross-stream sums are not critical-path durations. The 128 Ki serving baseline has no client output and is invalid, so no 128 Ki speedup is claimed. See llm-inference-bench #16.

Validation

  • Sparse-MLA lineage suite: 211 passed, with the same 24 token-major stride-contract failures on the compared baseline and candidate. Tests cover split selection, graph replay with changed lengths, partial buffers, packed queries, and late-maximum rescaling.
  • Selected serving source: 17 packed MLA GPU cases pass. The relevant attention source trees are identical to this branch's 0edbaef99ffa6f03588e0ca46b4bd65a143ca3fb revision.
  • A physical page at byte offset 2,149,244,928 produces output and LSE bytes identical to the low-page reference in the frozen-source run.
  • Publication tooling passes Ruff, diff checks, and CLI import/help smoke checks. The evidence commit does not change attention kernels or claim a fresh full-branch serving qualification.

Keep fixed-size shared route staging on fused W4A16 launches, while the FC2-only endpoint validates every runtime-M route against the caller's resident expert count. Invalid routes address expert zero with an exact-zero effective weight without mutating caller tensors or allocating during CUDA Graph replay.\n\nPass the resident expert count separately from the compile-time expert-capacity bucket so matrix-granular endpoints retain kernel-cache reuse. Cover M=3 narrow and wide FC2, M=7 FC2, invalid negative and upper-bound IDs, eager execution, CUDA Graph replay, and immutable route inputs.
Add an opt-in large-token-count W4A16 FC2 epilogue that reduces routed BF16 outputs directly into a caller-owned FP32 token accumulator and casts the assembled result once. The arena planner replaces the token-by-route-by-hidden output extent with token-by-hidden BF16 output storage plus token-by-hidden FP32 accumulation storage.

Small-token-count tensor-core decode, FP16/full-rotation execution, and activation-amax capture retain their existing launch and workspace contracts. The prefill path uses relaxed FP32 global reductions and is disabled unless B12X_W4A16_PREFILL_FUSED_SUM is set.

Validated with 221 passing W4A16 GPU tests, fixed-scratch CUDA Graph replay, NaN-poisoned accumulator initialization, Kimi-K3 TP16 shape numerics, and full-model 4,096-token scheduler chunks.
Backport the fused K=3 verification path and opt-in sparse policy onto the exact production B12X source generation.

Add two opt-in capabilities to the SM120 sparse-MLA decode path used by the
Kimi-K3 packed (fp8_ds_mla) dense reader; defaults keep the existing entry
points, PTX, and numerics unchanged.

split_policy="balanced" (run_unified_decode / sparse_mla_decode_forward):
a dedicated per-token single-cache entry (kernel_pertok_balanced) receives a
runtime split target T and derives every CTA's 64-candidate chunk range from
the row's live chunk count n: chunks per split = min(ceil(n / T),
chunks_per_split), T = min(num_splits, floor(waves * sm_count /
(rows * head_blocks))) with waves from B12X_MLA_SM120_BALANCED_WAVES (default
1). A short row therefore spreads over up to T near-equal ranges while a long
row keeps the static ranges. With the static ranges a short row keeps only
its leading splits busy while each scans up to chunks_per_split chunks
serially (28 chunks for a 113,664-slot plan with 64 splits), about 110 us per
layer for any local shard between 2k and 16k tokens. The launch grid,
workspace, and compile key stay capacity-based and T is a plain kernel
argument, so one compiled kernel serves every row count and CUDA-graph replay
keeps the captured value; inactive splits still write LSE = -inf. Balanced
partitioning changes only which chunks each partial covers, hence the merge
rounding, not the attention math. The policy requires per-token lengths and
rejects dual-cache (DSV4 extra section) launches.

partial_dtype=torch.float32 (B12XSparseMLAScratchCaps): the split partials are
stored and merged in fp32, so the result is rounded once at the bf16 output.
The output buffer then gets its own scratch region instead of aliasing
partial 0. The decode kernel epilogue and the merge kernel are dtype-generic;
the launcher types mid_out from the tensor and the validators accept fp32
partials with a bf16 output. With one active split the fp32-partial result is
bit-identical to the bf16-partial result.

Validation (RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, production image, GLM_NSA 128-head
reference cases with mixed per-token lengths): balanced vs static outputs
agree to bf16 merge rounding and both match the fp32 reference; the active
split set is exactly {s : s * min(ceil(n / T), chunks_per_split) < n}; a CUDA
graph captured under the balanced policy stays bit-identical to eager after
the per-token lengths change between replays; fp32 partials match the
reference at least as closely as bf16 partials; single-split fp32 partials
are bit-identical to bf16 partials; the wave factor scales T as specified and
the policy rejects scalar-length launches. The sparse-MLA test files show the
same 24 pre-existing failures (token-major cache stride contract) before and
after the change.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 34.80% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 273 functions across 53 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Full details: Context-Independent Repository Prose

Explanation

Changed prose is not context-independent. The PR description has numbered “Second commit”, “Third commit”, and “Fourth commit” sections. It narrates that the fast path introduced a defect, describes serving symptoms and an offline reproduction, and identifies unaffected prior lineages. Commit 0edbaef9 likewise recounts the earlier implementation, the DSL probe, and which revisions were affected. This matches the explicit rule against PR or commit messages that recount development history instead of stating the resulting behavior, reason, compatibility impact, and validation.

Resolution

Rewrite the PR description and history-bearing commit messages as one present-state description. Remove the numbered commit chronology, prior-revision narrative, introduced-defect history, serving incident story, and minimal-reproduction history. State the current return_state contract, the DSL-region constraint that requires returned state, default and compatibility behavior, and the validation results. Amend or squash commit messages so each message describes only the resulting behavior, technical reason, compatibility impact, and validation.

Full details: Performance Claim Evidence

Explanation

Performance claims are introduced by commits 242d6ca8 and 5713953b, but the packed-MLA evidence does not satisfy the required contract. docs/evidence/kimi_packed_mla_tp9.json contains raw samples, GPU UUID/state, revisions, and correctness fields, but it has no worktree, command, or ratio-direction fields. Its variants also set B12X_MLA_SM120_GLM_W_HW_DEQUANT=0, while the commit claims performance with hardware dequantization. The claimed 1,024–113,600-token measurements and Nsight results have no matching repository-visible raw receipt. The serving-boundary claim in docs/evidence/kimi_packed_mla_tp9.md:69-74 compares different generated continuations and reports kernel sums that are not critical-path durations, so it is changed/proxy benchmark evidence. The W4A16 qualification is more complete, but it does not repair the unsupported packed-MLA claims.

Resolution

For every retained performance claim, add a repository-visible receipt with the exact target command and benchmark path, baseline and candidate revisions/trees, worktree paths, physical GPU and operating-mode samples, correctness results, raw timing samples, and explicit ratio direction. Re-run the GLM claims with B12X_MLA_SM120_GLM_W_HW_DEQUANT=1 if hardware-dequant performance is claimed, and record the exact claimed shapes and lengths. Compare identical inputs, head counts, continuations, and operating conditions. Do not use kernel-sum or different-continuation traces as serving speed evidence. Otherwise remove or narrow those claims to the measured, qualified cases.

227-230: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor

The validator correctly enforces that Q, K, and V must have matching head dimensions. All entry points to this module—_validate_varlen_inputs, build_attention_binding, create_attention_plan, and b12x_attention_forward—gate through _validate_forward_inputs before any downstream code runs. Static inspection and module-search queries found no external callers that depend on accepting mismatched V head dims. The kernel constructor still accepts head_dim_v as a separate parameter, but the validator ensures it will always equal head_dim at runtime. This is an intentional restriction to the generic contiguous path, not a latent contract violation.

3727-3734: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Consider streaming the atoms-v1 restore and validating rotations first.

_matrix_words narrows axis 2 and then calls .contiguous() on the full extent. For the qualified geometry that is 8 * num_experts * 43008 bytes, about 308 MiB per matrix, and _restore_matrix calls it three times while also allocating its own (num_experts, pair_words) int16 output.

The atoms-v2 sibling _restore_group_matrix_into deliberately avoids this; its comment on Lines 3442-3444 states that the canonical slab is close to 1 GiB per rank and streams bounded 64-expert groups so the source and its prepared view are never both resident.

Two concrete changes bring this path in line:

  • Chunk the expert axis in _matrix_words / _restore_matrix the way _restore_group_matrix_into does.
  • Move the gate_suh / up_suh / intermediate_rotations / down_svh validation at Lines 3816-3839 above the restore at Lines 3780-3808, so a shape or device error raises before the transient allocation.

Inline comments:
In `@b12x/_lib/intrinsics.py`:
- Around line 1570-1571: Update the PTX emission near the existing
red.relaxed.gpu.global reduction entries to replace the invalid vector reduction
with four valid scalar f32.add reductions targeting out_addr, out_addr + 4,
out_addr + 8, and out_addr + 12, preserving the existing operand metadata for
each scalar instruction.

In `@b12x/attention/_shared/workspace.py`:
- Line 2544: Update the call to build_compressed_mla_binding in the
bind_compressed_mla path to pass the required keyword-only parameter as
scratch=self instead of workspace=self. Keep the callee unchanged unless
updating every caller consistently.

In `@b12x/attention/dense_mla/_forward.py`:
- Line 476: Update the request-index assignment around query_tile_index so
single-request tiled extends always map every tile to request zero, while
preserving query-tile indexing for multi-request cases. Ensure subsequent
cache_seqlens and cu_seqlens_q accesses use the corrected request index.

In `@b12x/attention/dense_mla/_scratch.py`:
- Line 32: Restore _MAX_Q_ROWS to the previous 65,536 capacity so
Caps.max_total_q continues accepting existing workloads above 1,024, unless an
approved replacement path explicitly preserves that compatibility.
- Around line 69-75: Update the test in test_dense_mla.py that constructs Caps
to stop passing the removed physical_record_width argument. Rewrite it to use
the supported [pages, page_size, 576] cache contract while preserving coverage
of page-stride behavior and its expected failure mode.

In `@b12x/attention/dense_mla/api.py`:
- Line 60: Update the default device construction in the attention API to call
the two-argument torch.device constructor with the CUDA device type and
torch.cuda.current_device() separately, while preserving the existing behavior
when an explicit device is provided.

In `@b12x/attention/paged/forward_paged.py`:
- Line 9009: Define launch_grid within PagedBf16ExtendRawForwardKernel.__call__
before it is passed to the kernel launch, restoring or computing the appropriate
grid expression so the BF16 paged-extend path does not raise NameError.

In `@b12x/gemm/trellis_linear/_small_m.py`:
- Line 100: Update run_k6_mcg and model setup so _extension() initializes and
warms the K6 extension before any CUDA Graph capture begins. Ensure the first
capture and subsequent replay use the already-loaded extension with preallocated
buffers, without triggering JIT compilation inside launch_k6_mcg.

In `@b12x/gemm/trellis_linear/csrc/vendor/quant/exl3_gemm_inner.cuh`:
- Around line 16-27: Change the EXL3_GEMM_H_ACC default in the header so it is
disabled unless explicitly overridden, removing the automatic enablement for
__CUDA_ARCH__ 860 and 1200. Preserve the existing `#ifndef` override mechanism so
callers can opt in deliberately, and update the nearby comment to reflect that
behavior.

In `@b12x/moe/_shared/execution.py`:
- Around line 804-807: Resolve the effective qsrt_profile before the mixed-rate
W4A8 validation, applying MoEWeightPreparationPlan.__post_init__’s default of
_QSRT_ATOMS_V2_PROFILE_H308 for qsrt_atoms_v2 when no profile is provided. Use
this resolved value for the guard in prepare_b12x_fp4_moe_weights, while
preserving the existing rejection of both H308 profiles.

In `@b12x/moe/_shared/kernels/dynamic.py`:
- Line 3001: Validate every topk_ids expert ID in build_tp_moe_fp4_binding or
_validate_sparse_routing before it can index expert-dependent buffers, rejecting
values below zero or at/above the configured expert count; alternatively add an
equivalent guard in the dynamic kernel before accesses such as
atomic_add_global_i32 on row_counts and the expert scale, tile, and weight
buffers.

In `@b12x/moe/_shared/kernels/tiny_decode.py`:
- Line 234: In b12x/moe/_shared/kernels/tiny_decode.py lines 234-234 and
329-329, add route_expert_limit: Int32 to kernel and __call__, pass
Int32(c["weight_E"]) from launch, and bound raw_expert before deriving eid at
both routing sites. Restore route_active in the FC1 Line 295 red_add_global_f32
and FC2 Line 436 scatter_add_bf16x2 store conditions so invalid routes neither
read nor commit accumulations.

In `@b12x/moe/_shared/kernels/w4a16/prepare.py`:
- Around line 160-192: Update tests/moe/test_w4a8_trellis_e2e.py to remove
imports and construction of the deleted TrellisWeightState, and update callers
in test_fused_moe_trellis.py and benchmark_qsrt_coupled_w4a16.py to pass the
trellis-related fields directly to PreparedW4A16MoeWeights instead of using
trellis=. Preserve .trellis accesses on PreparedTrellis256DenseWeight.

In `@b12x/moe/fused_moe/_impl.py`:
- Line 2587: Update the route_E assignment in the non-full-rotation path to
preserve the global route namespace by using the larger of requested_route_E and
weight_E, ensuring mapped packed W4A16 plans retain 12-route expert arrays while
existing full-rotation behavior remains unchanged.
- Around line 2778-2782: Update the intermediate_cache13_elements calculation to
size the buffer for the maximum requirement across every planned launch token
count, including both fused-sum and non-fused requirements. Preserve the
existing routed_capacity scaling and ensure non-fused launches use max(fc1_cols,
k), so mixed planned counts cannot under-allocate the workspace used by
run_w4a16_moe.
- Around line 7249-7266: The prewarm launch plan must distinguish launches by
the prepared fc1_trellis_pair_kind and fc2_trellis_pair_kind instead of reusing
one P33_P43 specialization for every atoms-v2 K3 workspace. Update the
launch-plan key and selection logic around both pair-kind construction sites at
b12x/moe/fused_moe/_impl.py lines 7249-7266 and 7429-7444, threading the
workspace pair-kind metadata through or prewarming every required static
pair-kind tuple so runtime descriptors match the selected kernel ABI.

In `@benchmarks/benchmark_dense_mla_verify.py`:
- Line 269: Update the result construction in benchmark_dense_mla_verify.py to
include benchmark provenance after the correctness gate and before JSON output:
record the executed command, comparison revisions, worktree state, physical GPU,
CUDA-graph execution mode, and explicit correctness status alongside the
existing raw timings and speedup_vs_deployed ratio.

In `@benchmarks/benchmark_moe.py`:
- Around line 3729-3732: Extend the fused reduction validation near the existing
fused_sum_metrics cosine check to also validate fused_sum_repeat_metrics: fail
when its cosine is non-finite or below 0.9999. Preserve the same blocking
failure behavior and metric reporting used for fused_sum_metrics.
- Around line 345-353: Update the Kimi-K3 MXFP4 shape ModelProfile identified by
checkpoint_family "kimi_k3_mxfp4_shape" to use oracle validation instead of
"none" and clearly label the profile as a proxy, preserving its synthetic
shape-only configuration.

Minor comments:
In `@b12x/_lib/dense_gemm.py`:
- Line 3268: Rename the intentionally unused loop variable in the k_tile
producer loop to _k_tile (or _) while preserving the existing range and unroll
behavior, so Ruff B007 no longer reports it.
- Around line 4533-4535: Update the conditional return in the dense GEMM
validation logic to return the boolean result of the tile_k divisibility check
directly, removing the equivalent if/True/False branch while preserving
behavior.

In `@b12x/attention/_shared/contiguous/api.py`:
- Around line 227-230: No code change is required; preserve the matching
head-dimension validation in _validate_forward_inputs and its existing use by
_validate_varlen_inputs, build_attention_binding, create_attention_plan, and
b12x_attention_forward.

In `@b12x/moe/__init__.py`:
- Around line 4-6: Update the recipe label list in the `META.recipes` metadata
to include `w6a8_mx` while retaining `mxfp4` and all existing recipes, resulting
in the advertised set `nvfp4/mxfp4/w4a8_mx/w4a8_nvfp4/w4a16/w6a8_mx`.

In `@b12x/moe/_shared/kernels/situ.py`:
- Line 40: Update the stale construction sites that pass
weight_layout="trellis_t256" or w13_layout="trellis_t256_proj" to use the
supported trellis3_t256 forms, while preserving the existing validation in the
weight-layout handling code.

In `@benchmarks/benchmark_moe.py`:
- Around line 4067-4074: Add qualification metadata to the benchmark artifact
alongside samples_ms: record the resolved commit, GPU identity, execution mode,
correctness state using passed/failed/not run, and ratio direction, while
preserving command and existing timing fields. Update the artifact-building code
around the schema b12x.moe-benchmark-timing.v1 and reuse existing resolved
values rather than deriving them from command text.
- Around line 3085-3086: Update the argument validation near the existing
timing_json and graph_mode check to also reject timing_json when profile_once is
enabled. Ensure the validation occurs before the profiling flow so the
incompatible combination fails instead of skipping JSON output.

In `@tests/moe/test_fused_moe_trellis.py`:
- Line 296: Update the weight_layout argument in the relevant test setup to use
the production Trellis identifier “trellis3_t256” instead of “trellis_t256”,
ensuring the test exercises the real W4A16 execution contract rather than the
unknown-layout fallback.

In `@validation/performance/w4a16_inactive_routes_sm120.md`:
- Line 78: Update the reported test counts in the validation document: line 78
should state seven parametrized tests passed, and the Compute Sanitizer result
at lines 122-123 should state five tests passed. Ensure both claims match the
cases selected by their respective commands.

Nitpick comments:
In `@b12x/moe/_shared/kernels/w4a16/prepare.py`:
- Around line 3727-3734: Update _matrix_words and _restore_matrix to process the
expert axis in bounded chunks, matching the streaming approach used by
_restore_group_matrix_into and avoiding full per-matrix contiguous copies. Move
validation of gate_suh, up_suh, intermediate_rotations, and down_svh ahead of
the restore calls so shape or device errors occur before transient allocations.

NVIDIA PTX ISA red relaxed gpu global add v4 f32 syntax

💡 Result:

The instruction red.relaxed.gpu.global.add.f32 is a specialized NVIDIA PTX (Parallel Thread Execution) instruction used to perform an atomic reduction operation on global memory [1][2]. Unlike standard atom operations, the red (reduction) instruction does not return the previous value of the memory location, which allows the hardware to perform the operation more efficiently by not requiring a round-trip to return data to the issuing thread [1][3]. Syntax and Usage: The general syntax for this instruction in inline assembly is: asm volatile("red.relaxed.gpu.global.add.f32 [%0], %1;" : : "l"(addr), "f"(val) : "memory"); [1] Breakdown of the instruction components: - red: The base opcode for an atomic reduction operation [4][2]. - .relaxed: Specifies the memory consistency model. It indicates that the operation has relaxed memory ordering requirements, allowing the hardware flexibility in execution [1][2]. - .gpu: Indicates the scope of the atomic operation, in this case, the GPU-wide global scope [2]. - .global: Specifies the memory state space, which is global memory [4][2]. - .add: Specifies the reduction operation to perform (addition) [1]. - .f32: Specifies the data type of the operation (32-bit floating-point) [1]. - [%0]: The address operand (a pointer to the memory location) [1]. - %1: The value operand (the floating-point value to be added) [1]. This instruction is commonly used in high-performance computing scenarios where multiple threads need to accumulate results into a shared global memory location without the overhead of needing to know the previous value [1][5]. It is widely used in libraries such as CUTLASS and various deep learning frameworks for CUDA-based kernels [1][5].

🌐 Web query:

site:docs.nvidia.com/cuda/parallel-thread-execution "red.relaxed.gpu.global.add.v4.f32"

💡 Result:

The identifier red.relaxed.gpu.global.add.v4.f32 is not a recognized instruction or standardized mnemonic in the NVIDIA Parallel Thread Execution (PTX) Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), including the latest versions [1][2][3]. PTX provides a 'red' (Reduction) instruction for performing atomic reduction operations in memory [4][5], and atomics can be performed on global memory using 'atom.global' or 'red.global' [1][6]. The structure of standard PTX instructions generally follows a format such as: opcode{.type}{.sem}{.scope}.address-space.operation d, [a], b; For instance, a floating-point atomic addition in global memory would typically be represented as: atom.global.add.f32 d, [a], b; or red.global.add.f32 [a], b; The terms 'relaxed' and 'v4' appear in the context of recent PTX developments (such as asynchronous operations or multimem instructions) [3][7], but 'red.relaxed.gpu.global.add.v4.f32' does not correspond to a valid PTX instruction string [1][2]. It is possible that this string is a construct from a specific compiler intermediate representation (IR), a custom header file, or an auto-generated internal function name rather than a formal PTX machine instruction.

NVIDIA PTX ISA red instruction vector v4 f32 reduction syntax

💡 Result:

In the NVIDIA Parallel Thread Execution (PTX) ISA, there is no generic red.v4.f32 instruction for vector-based reductions [1][2]. While the red instruction is used for performing atomic reduction operations on memory locations (such as red.add.f32, red.max.f32, etc.), it operates on scalar values [3][2]. Vector operations in PTX are generally supported for specific instructions like ld (load), st (store), and mov, which can use .v2 or .v4 type modifiers to handle multiple elements simultaneously [4][5]. For reduction operations, the red instruction follows this basic syntax: red.op{.sem}{.scope}{.space}.type [addr], a; [2][6] Where: - op is the reduction operation (e.g., add, min, max, and, or, xor) [6]. - .type is the data type of the operation (e.g., .f32, .f64) [2]. - [addr] is the target memory address. - a is the source register or immediate value used for the reduction. If you are looking to perform reductions on multiple floating-point values, you must typically issue separate red instructions for each scalar element or utilize higher-level CUDA APIs (such as cooperative groups or atomic functions) that may abstract these operations [3][2]. Note that newer features like multimem.red [1][3] and red.async [3][2] also focus on memory-level synchronization and reduction rather than vector-register arithmetic.

Update the test that uses the removed physical_record_width argument.

tests/attention/test_dense_mla.py Line 128 still passes physical_record_width to Caps. The changed constructor surface rejects that keyword with TypeError, so the test suite fails before it tests page-stride behavior.

Preserve the global route namespace for mapped packed W4A16 plans.

_mapped_packed_caps() uses 8 weight experts and route_num_experts=12; the existing test requires route_E == 12 and 12-entry expert arrays. This branch sets route_E to 8, so binding a 12-entry route_expert_map can fail the shape check at line 2337. Preserve max(requested_route_E, weight_E) for non-trellis plans.

Size intermediate_cache13 for every planned launch mode. When a W4A16 workspace includes a fused-sum capacity above m > 8 and a non-fused count at or below 8, the selected fused workspace can allocate routed_capacity * fc1_cols, while the non-fused launch requires routed_capacity * max(fc1_cols, k). For example, k=7168, fc1_cols=384, and planned counts (8, 16) leave the m=8 launch with insufficient storage; run_w4a16_moe then raises its intermediate_cache13 capacity error. Size the buffer for the maximum requirement across all planned token counts.

Fail when the fused reduction is not repeatable.

fused_sum_repeat_metrics is calculated at Lines 3714-3716 but is never checked. If the first comparison passes, a divergent repeat only prints metrics and the benchmark exits successfully. Apply the same finite-value and cosine checks to fused_sum_repeat_metrics.

Include the prepared pair kinds in the prewarm launch plan.

The planned-launch key contains only (weight_layout, scale_format, token_count, collect_activation_amax). Both sites therefore store a P33_P43 launch for every atoms-v2 K3 workspace. Coupled-H308 payloads use P43/P33, P43/P44, or P33/P33; runtime then passes static Int32 scale metadata to a kernel specialized for the Int64 P33_P43 descriptor ABI. This can fail at launch or decode weights incorrectly. Thread the pair-kind metadata through the workspace, or prewarm and select every required static pair-kind tuple.

Add B12X_MLA_SM120_GLM_FASTPATH (default off) for the GLM_NSA generic
(HPB=16, eight math warps) per-token decode entry used by the Kimi-K3 packed
dense reader. It changes only how the same bytes reach the same MMAs, so
results are bit-identical to the base path:

- packed 656-byte KV staging: the IO warp copies each record with one
  cp.async.bulk into a 656-byte row of the kv_fp8 stage (rope inline at +528;
  the two stages exactly cover the kv_fp8 + kv_rope allocation), halving the
  serialized bulk-copy issue per chunk; S1/S2/S6 read the staged stride;
- PV B-fragments via ldmatrix.sync.aligned.m16n16.x2.trans.shared.b8
  (sm_120a; new intrinsic ldmatrix_m16n16x2_trans_b8): one ldmatrix per
  32-token k-step yields both n-tiles of the warp's 16 consecutive V dims,
  loaded once per V chunk and reused by both W passes, instead of 8 LDS.32 +
  6 PRMT per (n-tile, k-step); the epilogue maps each warp's contiguous dims;
- W HIGH/LOW bytes in fixed slots 0/1 (no residual serialization barrier) and
  pairwise cvt.rn.satfinite.e4m3x2.f32 with 16-bit stores;
- S4 skips the accumulator rescale when every lane's cross-chunk factor is
  exactly 1.0 (warp vote; x * 1.0 is the identity).

B12X_MLA_SM120_GLM_W_HW_DEQUANT (default off, requires the fast path)
reconstructs the W HIGH byte for the LOW residual with cvt.rn.f16x2.e4m3x2,
which is exact for every E4M3 value, instead of the scalar software expansion
that mis-decodes E4M3 subnormals and -0. Results are not guaranteed
bit-identical to the software path; the test cases and the precision probe
(relative L2 against the fp32 reference, four rows, three seeds) show
identical outputs.

Measurements (RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, one row x 64 heads, one split, CUDA
graph replay, chunk_cost_probe): 3.44 us per 64-candidate chunk on the base
path, 2.47 us with the ldmatrix V operand, 2.19 us with packed staging,
2.03 us with the hardware dequant. Nsight Compute on the base path: 1,627
instructions per math-warp chunk of which 52 MMAs; 315 LDS (256 for the V
operand synthesis, 48% shared-memory bank conflict rate), 22% of warp stall
samples in MIO throttle. Serving geometry (four query rows, 64 heads, 64
splits, balanced policy, fp32 partials), fast path + hardware dequant vs the
static base path: 1,024 local tokens 68 -> 16 us per layer, 4,096 109 -> 25,
16,384 111 -> 62, 65,536 431 -> 269, 113,600 644 -> 405.

Validation: tests/attention/test_attention_mla_sm120.py gains a bit-identity
test of the fast path against the base path (1 and 4 rows, mixed per-token
lengths); the sparse-MLA test files show the same 24 pre-existing failures
with the fast path off and on.

Clear the hardware-dequant flag in the identity test.

Line 2367 clears only B12X_MLA_SM120_GLM_FASTPATH. If B12X_MLA_SM120_GLM_W_HW_DEQUANT=1 is inherited, the second launch enables the documented non-bit-identical residual path. Then line 2379 can fail. Clear that flag before the baseline launch and test the hardware-dequant mode separately against the reference.

…mulators

The unified decode kernel's chunk loop passed the accumulator, running-max
and running-sum containers into the S4 online-softmax stage and relied on
in-place mutation for the cross-chunk rescale. In the compiled kernel the
rescaled accumulators did not reach the loop: a split that walks two or more
chunks serially kept the un-rescaled partial sums whenever its running
maximum rose in a later chunk, weighting those earlier chunks by 1 / alpha.
The normalizer was rescaled, so the output stayed bounded but wrong (up to
100 % relative error when the dominant key is not in the split's first
chunk; 8-150 % over random data as the logit spread grows).

S4 (`s4_online_softmax` and `s4_online_softmax_glm_h8_swap_ab`) now takes
`return_state` and hands `(acc_nope, acc_rope, global_max, global_sum)` back;
all four call sites in the uniform and per-token kernels rebind them from the
return value. Splits that hold a single chunk, and splits whose maximum is in
their first chunk, are unchanged; every other split now matches the
one-chunk-per-split walk and the fp32 reference.

Validation (host GPU 0, serving image):
- new test `test_unified_decode_glm_serial_chunks_rescale_late_maximum`
  (dominant keys in the last of ten serial chunks): rel-L2 vs reference
  0.596 before, < 2e-2 after, serial == per-chunk split within 1e-2;
- `tests/attention/test_attention_mla_sm120.py`: the same 24 pre-existing
  failures before and after (token-major cache stride contract of this
  lineage), fast path on and off;
- packed-reader probes: serial == balanced == one-chunk-per-split at logit
  std 0.14 / 0.95 / 3.8; balanced fp32 partials vs reference at 256..16384
  local tokens 8.35e-3..2.17e-2 rel-L2, equal to the static single split.
…entry

`run_unified_decode` / `sparse_mla.run_decode` accept, on the GLM generic
per-token fast path, a uint8 `(rows, heads, 656)` query in place of the bf16
`(rows, heads, 576)` one. A packed head is the record the in-kernel S0 stage
would produce: 512 E4M3 nope bytes quantized per 128-dim tile, the four fp32
power-of-two tile scales (`max(absmax, 1e-4) / 448` rounded up to a power of
two) and the 64 bf16 rope values, in the same framing as the packed KV
record. S0 (`s0_load_packed_q_to_smem`) copies the record into the Q stages
instead of quantizing, so the attention output is bit-identical to the bf16
query path; the caller quantizes once before a DCP head gather and moves
656 instead of 1,152 bytes per head.

The packed form is detected from dtype and last dimension
(`is_packed_query`), enters the compile key (`q_packed`), and is rejected
outside the fast path (`B12X_MLA_SM120_GLM_FASTPATH=1`), for extend / verify
/ draft_extend modes, and for the H8 native arms.

Validation (host GPU 0, serving image): new test
`test_unified_decode_glm_packed_query_bit_identical` (1x512 and 4x2048,
`torch.equal` against the bf16 query on the fast path, rejection without
it); `tests/attention/test_attention_mla_sm120.py` shows the same 24
pre-existing failures as before the change.
Comment-only change. The accumulator rescale of `s4_online_softmax` sits
inside `if rescale:` since the GLM generic fast path (242d6ca) added the
warp-voted unit-rescale skip. The DSL lowers that `if` as a region even
when `rescale` is the Python constant `True`, and nested-list element
assignments made inside such a region do not reach the caller's list
objects; a caller relying on in-place mutation therefore keeps un-rescaled
accumulators whenever the running maximum rises in a later chunk. That is
the defect 8299c38 repairs by returning the state (`return_state`), and it
was introduced by 242d6ca: the unconditional rescale before it is
unaffected (served lineage 3689338 and f02909c measure identically with
and without the fix). Minimal reproduction:
research/fp8-ds-mla-perf-20260905/dsl_if_region_probe.py (variant A
unconditional: correct; B `if True:` and C `if <warp vote>:`: lost unless
the lists are returned).
