Add in-tree Triton implementations for the HY V4 iHC pre and post operations.

The runtime dispatch order is:

  1. Use HPC-Ops when enabled and supported.
  2. Otherwise use the Triton implementation on NVIDIA CUDA with FP16/BF16 inputs.
  3. Fall back to the existing eager PyTorch implementation for unsupported configurations.

The Triton implementation is adapted from sglang#36805.

Purpose

Provide an in-tree, portable iHC implementation for NVIDIA GPUs where HPC-Ops is unavailable or unsupported, while retaining the existing eager implementation as the final fallback.

Test Plan

  • Kernel benchmark: benchmarks/kernels/benchmark_hy_v4_ihc.py on one NVIDIA H20 (SM90), using CUPTI timing with cold L2, FP16/BF16, hidden sizes 4096/6144, and 1-8192 tokens.
  • Accuracy and end-to-end runtime: serve Hy4-preview-FP8 on four H20 GPUs with TP=8. Run the full GSM8K test set through the completion API with lm-eval (local-completions, 5-shot, greedy decoding, 1319 samples, concurrency 8, max_gen_toks=256, max_length=8192).
  • End-to-end performance: serve Hy4-preview-FP8 on eight H20 GPUs with TP=8, MTP and prefix caching disabled. Send 100 requests with 2048 input and 256 output tokens at 10 requests/s.

Test Result

Kernel results (Triton vs. eager):

  • iHC pre: 2.88x-9.97x faster.
  • iHC post: 3.91x-12.83x faster.

Full GSM8K results:

Backend Strict exact match Flexible exact match
Eager 86.58% 85.60%
Triton 86.20% 85.97%

Accuracy is comparable: both metric differences are 0.38 percentage points and are smaller than their approximately 0.94-0.97 percentage-point standard errors, so no measurable accuracy regression was observed.


Eight-H20 end-to-end serving results:

Metric Eager Triton Change
Output throughput 214.51 tok/s 267.57 tok/s +24.74%
Total token throughput 1930.55 tok/s 2408.13 tok/s +24.74%
Mean TTFT 42634.72 ms 32370.70 ms -24.07%
Mean TPOT 275.70 ms 223.66 ms -18.87%

The HPC-Ops implementation was not benchmarked because the current implementation only supports SM100/SM103, while H20 is SM90.

Walkthrough

The change adds Triton implementations for HY V4 iHC preprocessing and postprocessing, routes supported CUDA inputs through them, preserves eager fallback behavior, and adds a correctness and performance benchmark.

Changes

HY V4 Triton iHC

Layer / File(s) Summary
Triton iHC kernels
vllm/models/hy_v4/nvidia/triton_ihc.py
Adds input support checks, staged preprocessing kernels, a postprocessing kernel, validated wrappers, and empty-token handling.
HY V4 layer integration
vllm/models/hy_v4/nvidia/hc.py
Routes supported inputs through Triton pre and post kernels. Other inputs use the eager path.
Benchmark and correctness validation
benchmarks/kernels/benchmark_hy_v4_ihc.py
Adds eager reference functions, selectable GPU timing, CLI arguments, output validation, and latency, speedup, and bandwidth reporting.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 798a6

This change routes supported HY V4 CUDA inputs through new Triton pre/post operations. Individual kernel checks exist, but the integrated pre-to-post composition remains unvalidated, leaving a material correctness risk before merge.

Validate the Triton pre-to-post path.

This check passes eager post gates to triton_ihc_post. Production routing can pass triton_post from triton_ihc_pre into post processing. Add an end-to-end assertion that compares triton_ihc_post(block_output, residual, triton_post) with the eager composition, using the composed error budget.

… for the Triton iHC path

Follow-up to vllm-project#55059. The Triton iHC pre/post kernels are now registered as
custom ops with fake impls (torch.compile / CUDA-graph safe) and gain a head
variant (pre without the post gates, HAS_POST=False, same two kernels), so
HYV4HCHeadLayer no longer runs the 15-launch torch path. Adds a startup
warmup, parity tests for all three ops against the eager layers, opcheck, a
model-level test through the engine, and torch.compile + head columns in the
benchmark.

Follow-up to vllm-project#55059 (kept as the decode path). From 128 tokens per step
pre/head switch to a two-launch stats + apply pair: the [T, 4d] x [4d, 8]
projection runs on tensor cores with the fp32 weight as a bf16 hi+lo pair
and the hidden dim split across programs; 1.2-1.5x over the vllm-project#55059
kernels at 256-4096 tokens (CUPTI, cold L2) on RTX 5090 and RTX PRO 6000,
crossover between 96 and 128 tokens on both.
post uses one program per (token, channel, hidden tile) with the tile
index fastest, so consecutive programs stream consecutive memory, plus
PDL: 1.3-1.9x over the vllm-project#55059 post at <= 32 tokens, 1.2x at 64, equal
above, and within 0.93-1.05x of torch.compile everywhere. The warmup
enumerates the compile keys of the new path (warmup_token_sizes) so
nothing JITs on the first request.
