Summary

Replace hardcoded device="cuda" with current_platform.device_type in the compilation fusion helper functions.

Changes

  • empty_bf16() - Use current_platform.device_type instead of "cuda"
  • empty_fp32() - Use current_platform.device_type instead of "cuda"
  • empty_i32() - Use current_platform.device_type instead of "cuda"
  • empty_i64() - Use current_platform.device_type instead of "cuda"

Problem

The current implementation hardcodes device="cuda" which doesn't work correctly on ROCm where the device type is "hip" or "rocm". This can cause the torch.compile fusion pass to fail on AMD GPUs.

Solution

Use current_platform.device_type which was already imported in the file. This returns the correct device string for the current platform (CUDA, ROCm, etc.).

Test Plan

  • AMD CI will validate on MI300X
  • Existing compilation tests should pass

…n helpers

Replace hardcoded device='cuda' with current_platform.device_type in
empty_bf16(), empty_fp32(), empty_i32(), and empty_i64() helper functions.

This ensures the compilation fusion pass works correctly on ROCm, which
uses 'hip' or 'rocm' as the device type rather than 'cuda'.

The import for current_platform was already present in the file.

Code Review

This pull request aims to fix an issue with torch.compile on ROCm platforms by replacing a hardcoded device="cuda" with a platform-specific value. While the intention to generalize the device handling is good, the current implementation appears to be ineffective. The RocmPlatform also defines its device_type as "cuda", making the change a no-op for ROCm and likely not fixing the underlying issue. A critical review comment has been added to highlight this and suggest a re-evaluation of the fix.

This change appears to be ineffective for ROCm platforms. The RocmPlatform in vllm/platforms/rocm.py defines device_type as "cuda".

# vllm/platforms/rocm.py
class RocmPlatform(Platform):
    _enum = PlatformEnum.ROCM
    device_name: str = "rocm"
    device_type: str = "cuda"
    ...

Therefore, replacing device="cuda" with device=current_platform.device_type results in no change for ROCm platforms, as current_platform.device_type will resolve to "cuda". The described bug will likely persist.

To properly fix this, RocmPlatform.device_type might need to be changed to "hip" or "rocm", and that change should be included in this pull request. Alternatively, if device="cuda" is indeed problematic on ROCm for torch.compile, a different approach is needed here.

Closing this PR. You're right — device="cuda" works correctly on ROCm via HIP translation. This was a consistency fix, not addressing a proven bug. Thanks for the review.
