ALREADY MERGE: depends on #53161 and ROCm/aiter#4891

Summary

Extend the DeepSeek V4 heterogeneous fused MoE path from TP8/DP1 to TP1/DP8 on ROCm while preserving vLLM's existing distributed pipeline:

This draft preserves #53161's four original commits and metadata, followed by one DP8 commit authored and signed off by Liuyinfeng01 <yinfeliu@amd.com>.

Design

The DP8 path follows the normal vLLM modular flow:

RCCL all-gather prepare
  -> local AITER heterogeneous shared+routed expert kernel
  -> RCCL reduce-scatter finalize

For CSV-covered M, the modular AITER experts receive the appended shared-expert route and call fhmoe_. For unsupported M, the same modular kernel processes only the six routed routes while the native shared MLP remains separate.

TP8/DP1 retains #53161's original direct path. This change does not modify CudaCommunicator, AITER custom collectives, global graph capture, or NVIDIA model code. It does not depend on or duplicate #48247.

Dependencies / merge blockers

Correctness

Full 5-shot GSM8K, greedy, 1319 questions, max output 2048, concurrency 64, 8 x MI355X TP1/DP8:

  • FHMoE OFF reference: 1250/1319 = 94.77%, invalid rate 0.
  • RCCL modular FHMoE ON: 1247/1319 = 94.54%, invalid rate 0.

The 0.23 percentage-point difference is within normal numeric variance. The earlier direct-kernel DP prototype was rejected because it omitted modular dispatch/combine and failed this check.

Performance

Decode-focused A/B

Configuration: 8 x MI355X, TP1/DP8, 240 requests (30/rank), cached 100K input / 1024 output, DSpark step 5 with synthetic AL 3.69, max-num-batched-tokens=384, and automatic FULL_DECODE_ONLY graph selection. Both arms use RCCL AG/RS; only the FHMoE flag changes.

FHMoE TPOT runs (ms) Median TPOT TPS runs Median TPS
OFF 18.813 / 20.253 / 20.048 20.048 ms 4,130.9 / 3,950.0 / 3,979.2 3,979.2 tok/s
ON 16.819 / 18.365 / 18.735 18.365 ms 4,232.6 / 4,348.4 / 4,299.9 4,299.9 tok/s

Median delta: TPOT -8.39%, aggregate output throughput +8.06%, and TTFT -8.87%. All six runs completed all 240 requests.

This gain removes the separate shared-expert execution; routed MoE and RCCL AG/RS remain.

8K/1K E2E smoke A/B

Actual random 8192-token prefill / 1024-token output, C240, auto graph, no fake KV connector, one run per arm:

  • OFF: 1,644.35 output tok/s, 69.11 ms mean TPOT.
  • ON: 1,656.53 output tok/s, 67.62 ms mean TPOT.
  • Delta: output throughput +0.74%, mean TPOT -2.16%.

The E2E case is prefill-dominated and is reported as a smoke result, not a multi-run attribution claim.

Trace evidence

Matched profiler artifacts are stored from the same RCCL/auto-graph configuration:

  • OFF rank 0: fhmoe_ count 0; vllm::moe_forward_shared present (5551 calls in the longer capture).
  • ON rank 0: aiter::fhmoe_ present (610 calls); vllm::moe_forward_shared count 0; vllm::moe_forward present.
  • RCCL ncclDevKernel_Generic_1 remains present in both arms.

The captures have different durations, so event counts are used only to prove path selection, not for direct aggregate-time comparison.

Validation

  • git diff --check: passed.
  • Selected pre-commit hooks for all three changed files: passed, including Ruff and mypy.
  • tests/model_executor/layers/test_fused_shared_expert.py: 71 passed.
  • Full TP1/DP8 server startup passed with RCCL/PyNCCL as the DP backend.
  • Full GSM8K passed with zero invalid responses.
  • Auto-graph decode A/B: six of six runs passed.
  • Verified the PR contains the four unchanged [ROCm][Perf][DeepSeek V4] Fuse native FP8 shared expert with MXFP4 routed experts #53161 commits plus one sole-author DP8 follow-on commit.

Re-measurement on the older DeepSeek-V4-Pro checkpoint

Scope note. Everything above this heading is the original submission,
measured on the checkpoint stated there. The section below re-runs only
the GSM8K accuracy A/B on the older DeepSeek-V4-Pro snapshot, staged
locally as DeepSeek-V4-Pro-old. The two checkpoints are not
interchangeable; the numbers are reported side by side so the accuracy claim
can be judged on both. Nothing above has been edited. The decode-throughput
and 8K/1K E2E tables above were not re-measured here (see the note at the
end of this section).

Eval Full GSM8K, 1,319 questions, 5-shot, greedy, max output 2048, concurrency 64
Patch This PR applied to models/deepseek_v4/amd/model.py and fused_moe/experts/rocm_aiter_moe.py (both hunks apply cleanly)

Upstream gates the fused path with a CSV capability probe
(fused_moe_supports_heterogeneous_shared_expert) and exposes no env
switch, so the A/B needs one. The patched model.py carries a
VLLM_DSV4_FHMOE override used only for this comparison: the ON arm leaves
the probe untouched (i.e. exactly this PR's behaviour), the OFF arm forces the
separate shared-expert path. Everything else -- image, weights, topology,
flags -- is byte-identical between arms.

Path evidence

The gate was instrumented to count its own decisions, so each arm proves which
path actually executed rather than relying on an init-time log line:

Arm Gate calls Fused path chosen Fallback Interpretation
FHMoE ON 10,000 7,743 2,257 fused path active for 77% of invocations
FHMoE OFF 10,000 0 10,000 fused path fully disabled

The 2,257 fallbacks on the ON arm are the large prefill batches: AITER's
supports_dsv4_i384_fhmoe returns True for M <= 2048 and False from
M >= 4096, so chunked prefill (8,192 tokens) legitimately takes the
non-fused route while decode-sized batches take the fused one.

GSM8K (full 1,319, 5-shot, greedy)

Arm flexible-extract strict-match
FHMoE OFF (baseline) 0.9674 +/- 0.0049 0.9674 +/- 0.0049
FHMoE ON (this PR) 0.9666 +/- 0.0049 0.9666 +/- 0.0049

Both arms exited 0 and scored all 1,319 questions.

Run-to-run variance. The ON arm was run twice under an identical
configuration and scored 0.9629 and 0.9666 -- a 0.37 pp spread. The
ON-vs-OFF gap (0.08 pp) is therefore well inside the noise floor of a single
run, and the honest reading of this table is accuracy parity, not a
measurable regression. This matches the direction reported above on the other
checkpoint, where the two arms also land within a few tenths of a point.

What was not re-measured

The decode-throughput and 8K/1K E2E tables above were not reproduced on
this checkpoint. A first attempt at the decode A/B showed a 67-70% run-to-run
spread in output throughput within a single arm (the first of three runs pays
for filling the shared prefix cache), which swamps the effect size claimed
above. Reproducing those tables credibly needs the PR's own decode
configuration (max-num-batched-tokens=384, FULL_DECODE_ONLY graphs) plus
discarded warm-up runs, and is left out rather than reported as a weak
comparison.

DeepSeek-V4 heterogeneous FHMoe

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared-expert eligibility and sharding
vllm/models/deepseek_v4/amd/model.py, tests/model_executor/layers/test_fused_shared_expert.py
Heterogeneous fusion accepts supported parallel layouts. Native FP8 shared-expert weights and scales are validated and sharded per rank. DP expert configuration validates required kernel and quantization components. Tests cover TP and TP=1/DP=8 shard selection and scale reconstruction.
AITER shared and routed expert selection
vllm/model_executor/layers/fused_moe/experts/rocm_aiter_moe.py, tests/model_executor/layers/test_fused_shared_expert.py
DeepseekV4HeterogeneousAiterExperts selects shared or routed quantization settings, adjusts fallback weights, and passes the selected parameters to rocm_aiter_fused_experts.
DP runtime and modular fallback
vllm/models/deepseek_v4/amd/model.py, tests/model_executor/layers/test_fused_shared_expert.py
DP execution uses cross-DP token metadata and the modular quantization path. Single-rank execution retains the AITER path and routed fallback behavior. Tests cover fused and modular heterogeneous execution selection.

Extract the shared output-binding block.

Lines 719-729 duplicate the base AiterExperts.apply block at Lines 585-595 exactly. If the binding conditions change later, the two copies can drift. Move the block into a small helper on AiterExperts and call it from both apply implementations.

♻️ Proposed refactor

-            output.shape == result.shape
-            and output.dtype == result.dtype

-            and output.is_contiguous()

-        else:
-            output.copy_(result)
+        self._bind_output(output, result)

Add the helper to AiterExperts:

    `@staticmethod`
    def _bind_output(output: torch.Tensor, result: torch.Tensor) -> None:
        # avoid redundant copy when output is a view of the result
