Overview

Speeds up DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash at TP1 (data-parallel attention, e.g. DP8/EP8) on MI355X with four changes:

  • Block32 tiles: TP1 entries in rocm_block32_gemm._TUNED for wo_b, wq_b and the shared expert's gate_up and down.
  • wo_a tiles: 8-group tiers for the wo_a BMM.
  • Pre-quantized wo_b input: the wo_a BMM hands wo_b its MXFP8 input from the epilogue, instead of a bf16 tensor that wo_b quantizes in a separate launch.
  • DSpark main_proj tiles: TP1 entries for the DSpark drafter's main_proj, (5120, 15360), which had none and ran on the default config.

Claims

  • End to end, DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash on 8× MI355X (DP8 attention, EP8 MoRI, DSpark K6), agentic workload at 256 concurrent conversations:
    • median TPOT 7.14 and 7.11 ms over two runs, against 7.34–7.39 over three baseline runs;
    • 17,557 output tok/s (one run), against 16,809–17,238;
    • 91.12 tok/s per user (one run), against 87.2–88.8.
  • Per layer on one MI355X (HIP graphs, weights cold in the LLC):
    • o_proj (wo_a + wo_b): 67.0 → 56.5 µs at 224 tokens per rank, and 111–126 → 62–66 µs at 288–384;
    • wq_b + shared gate_up + down: 68.3 → 53.5 µs at 224, and 106.4 → 65.4 µs at 288.
    • DSpark main_proj: 60–143 → 28–56 µs per call at 42–336 tokens per rank (57.6 → 58.1 µs at 14, on the default packed tiles both ways).
  • No numerical change from the hand-off. It is bit-identical to mxfp8_e4m3_quantize of the bf16 wo_a output. The new tiles only reorder fp32 accumulation; the relative error against an fp32 reference is unchanged at 1.7e-3.

Validation

Unit tests on MI355X, in the upstream ROCm nightly vllm/vllm-openai-rocm:nightly-rocm100-3966924d, with the modules these tests exercise taken from this branch (merged with main at 55b677b, so #63179 included):

pytest tests/kernels/attention/test_rocm_triton_attn_dsv4.py tests/kernels/quantization/test_rocm_mxfp8_linear.py -k "wo_a_bmm or block32 or wo_b_takes_wo_a_mxfp8_gate"
166 passed, 249 deselected

pytest tests/kernels/quantization/test_rocm_mxfp8_linear.py
240 passed

The second run includes the block32 reference test on the four TP1 shapes at 1 and 7 tokens, where #63179's fused quant now runs on this PR's packed tiles.

  • test_rocm_mxfp8_wo_a_bmm: new 8-group cases at 300, 700, 1100 and 1600 tokens, plus 1600 tokens with o_lora_rank=256 for the 256-wide tile, all against an fp32 reference.
  • test_rocm_mxfp8_wo_a_bmm_mxfp8_matches_quantized_bmm (new): the fused values and scales are bit-identical to mxfp8_e4m3_quantize(rocm_mxfp8_wo_a_bmm(...)) on each of the nine fused-epilogue tiles. This also covers the narrow-tile fallback and both weight-scale layouts.
  • test_wo_b_takes_wo_a_mxfp8_gate (new): wo_b takes the fused input only from RocmDotScaledMxfp8LinearKernel on an e4m3 weight with 32×32 block scales. A different kernel class with the same weight layout, per-row scales, a bf16 weight, a bias, a TP reduce and a preshuffled scale all fall back.
  • test_rocm_mxfp8_wo_a_bmm_o_proj_matches_wo_b_linear (new): on both sides of T·G = 128, at G = 8 and 4, the o_proj op takes wo_a's MXFP8 epilogue only where the tile can quantize, and rocm_mxfp8_block32_gemm_quant below that. Its output is bit-identical to wo_b's linear on the bf16 wo_a output.
  • test_rocm_mxfp8_linear_block32_matches_dequant_reference: the four TP1 shapes and the DSpark main_proj shape were added, and the sweep now also runs 96, 300 and 2100 tokens.
    With main_proj on the nightly dd4e40142: pytest tests/kernels/quantization/test_rocm_mxfp8_linear.py -k block32_matches_dequant_reference, 108 passed.

Per kernel, on one MI355X (HIP-graph replay, weights cold in the LLC; error is the max relative error against a dequantized reference): every new tile is faster than or equal to main at every size except wo_b at 1024 tokens (0.99×), and the error is unchanged at 1.7e-3 everywhere.

Details

  • Why: _TUNED only has TP2/TP4 entries. At TP1, these four shapes fall back to _default_config, which switches to a 128×128×128 tile past M = 256. For example, wo_b goes from 36.0 µs at 256 tokens to 72.8 µs at 288.
  • Sweep: for each shape, every CUDA graph size from 48 to 4096. The first pass varies tile, split-K (a second launch or in-launch) and warps. The second refines the best tiles over n_first, matrix_instr_nonkdim, waves_per_eu and stages. All timings use graph replay, with weights rotated over 2× the LLC. Neighbouring sizes share a tier only when one config is within 2% of each size's best and never slower than the current tier. M ≤ 32 keeps _default_config's packed tiles, since those sizes weren't swept.
  • Against [ROCm][Perf][DSv4.1] Tune MXFP8 block32 GEMM for DEP8 full-shape projections on MI355X #62533: for wo_b at the per-rank decode sizes of DP8 c256 (224–512 tokens), these tiers measure 31–49 µs, against 34–56 µs for [ROCm][Perf][DSv4.1] Tune MXFP8 block32 GEMM for DEP8 full-shape projections on MI355X #62533's.
  • wo_a BMM: the 8-group tiers past 256 tokens are 1.06–1.25× faster at 288–512 tokens and 1.1–1.2× faster past 1536. The 256-wide tile is only taken when o_lora_rank % 256 == 0. _mxfp8_wo_a_bmm_config now also returns the compiler hints each tile was tuned with.
  • Hand-off: with QUANT_OUT, _mxfp8_wo_a_bmm_kernel's epilogue rounds the fp32 tile to bf16, then applies the per-32-column E8M0 quant of _mxfp8_e4m3_quantize_triton. That gives identical bits and saves the quant launch plus a bf16 round trip: 2.3–19 µs per layer from 48 to 4096 tokens. The new opaque op rocm_dsv41_mxfp8_wo_a_bmm_mxfp8 returns (values, scales).
  • When _o_proj uses it: only when wo_b's linear would run exactly rocm_mxfp8_block32_gemm on mxfp8_e4m3_quantize(x). That means RocmDotScaledMxfp8LinearKernel as wo_b's kernel (as can_fuse_query_quant checks its consumer), an e4m3 weight with 32×32 block scales, no bias and no TP reduce. It isn't used with a preshuffled FP8 wo_b, with per-row scales (e.g. VLLM_BATCH_INVARIANT), or with a row-parallel reduce at TP > 1. wo_a and wo_b then run as one opaque op, rocm_dsv41_mxfp8_o_proj: it takes the hand-off where the wo_a tile is at least one MX block wide (T·G > 128) and otherwise feeds the bf16 wo_a output to wo_b's rocm_mxfp8_block32_gemm_quant. The branch is inside the op, so the compiled o_proj does not freeze the token count.
  • Scope: tuned and measured on MI355X (gfx950) only. The TP2/TP4 tables and the 2- and 4-group wo_a tiers are unchanged. No new CPU-GPU syncs, env vars or user-visible behavior. The wo_a and gate tests run in ":amd: (MI355 DPX) MLA Kernels" (added to its AMD mirror here), and the block32 sweep in the MXFP8 linear step.

AI assistance (a coding agent) was used to run the sweeps, write the change and tests, and draft this description. The submitter reviewed every changed line before marking this ready for review.

…put for DEP8 on MI355X

At TP1 (DP attention, e.g. DEP8) each rank runs the full DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash
projections, whose shapes rocm_block32_gemm tunes only at TP2/TP4, so wo_b,
wq_b and the shared expert's gate_up/down ran _default_config, which drops to
a 128x128x128 tile past M = 256. Add TP1 tiers for those four shapes, swept at
every CUDA graph size 48-4096, and 8-group tiers for the wo_a BMM past 256
tokens.

When wo_b would run exactly the block32 MXFP8 GEMM, the wo_a BMM now quantizes
its bf16 tile to MXFP8 in the epilogue and hands wo_b the e4m3 values and E8M0
scales, which is bit-identical to quantizing the bf16 output in a separate
launch.

Added a per-kernel table to the description (one MI355X, cold weights). At our decode sizes (224–512 tokens per rank), every new tile is faster than main, up to 2.2x. The only slower point is wo_b at 1024 tokens (1% slower). Accuracy is the same as main: max relative error 1.7e-3 everywhere, and the fused wo_b input is bit-identical.

These five rows run the QUANT_OUT epilogue on only 3 of the 9 fused tiles, and (300, 8, 128) and (1100, 8, 128) both pick (128, 128, 256). Never checked bit-for-bit: (64, 64, 256, 4, 2), which serves every G=8 batch of 129-256 tokens including the 224-token-per-rank case behind the o_proj number in the description, plus (32, 32, 512), (64, 64, 512), (128, 128, 128) and the G=4 tiles (64, 64, 256, 2, 1) and (128, 128, 256, 8, 2). Suggest rows (24, 8, 128), (100, 8, 128), (224, 8, 128), (800, 8, 128), (600, 4, 128) and (900, 4, 128) in place of (1100, 8, 128). Same for the block32 sweep in test_rocm_mxfp8_linear.py: num_tokens [1, 7, 32, 33, 192, 1024] reaches 12 of the 39 new TP1 tiers above M=32 and misses wo_b's 193-384 tier (split-K 2) behind the same 224-token number; adding 96, 300 and 2100 covers 24.

The description says these tests run in ":amd: (MI355 DPX) MLA Kernels", but that step's AMD mirror (.buildkite/test_areas/kernels.yaml:437) runs only test_dsv41_adaptive_mla_swa_metadata_graph_replay from this file, and the MI300 Attention shards skip them (requires_gfx950). The only gfx950 step that collects test_rocm_mxfp8_wo_a_bmm and this new test is the optional ":amd: (MI355 DPX) Attention Kernels Shard" (test-amd.yaml:4469), so PR CI never runs the epilogue. Could you add pytest -v -s tests/kernels/attention/test_rocm_triton_attn_dsv4.py -k wo_a_bmm to that mirror's commands (its source deps already list both changed files), or correct the description? The existing wo_a test has the same gap on main

This gate re-derives wo_b's kernel dispatch (the block32 branch at rocm_native.py:277) from dtypes and shapes, and nothing ties the two: no test reaches this branch or the gate. It gives the right answer for every ROCm MXFP8 kernel today, but a kernel-side relayout that keeps an e4m3 [N, K] weight with uint8 [N/32, K/32] scales still passes it. For example, draft #60169's in-place (16, 16) shuffle in RocmDotScaledMxfp8LinearKernel.process_weights_after_loading would hand rocm_mxfp8_block32_gemm a permuted wo_b on every layer, with no error. Check the consumer the way can_fuse_query_quant does (common/ops/query_quant.py:146-150): and type(getattr(getattr(self.wo_b, "quant_method", None), "kernel", None)) is RocmDotScaledMxfp8LinearKernel

Done in 621c4e5. The gate now checks the kernel type, as you suggested. A new test covers the gate, including a different kernel class with the same weight layout: it does not get the fused input.

#62533 adds the same (4608, 5120), (5120, 8192) and (32768, 1280) keys at other positions in _TUNED. The two PRs merge with no git conflict so the second to land leaves repeated keys: ruff F601 then fails pre-commit on main, and at runtime the later literal silently wins. One of the two needs to drop its copies, or fold the tables into #62533 as you offered. cc karverma-amd

#62533 was closed, so that clash is gone. But #64459 (opened today) adds the same four shapes. I'm benchmarking both tables and will propose one merged table, so only one PR carries these keys.

Compared both tables (numbers in the description and on #64459): #64459 is faster at small batches, this PR past 512 tokens. This PR keeps its table; both add the same four keys, so whichever lands second drops its copies.

Per the table in the description the two win in different ranges: #64459 up to 2.01x at 1-32 tokens, this PR 1.08-1.19x past 640. Dropping either copy loses one side; could the second to land merge the tiers by M range instead? (Your 1-32 tiers equal main's, so the 1.08x there is noise.)

Agreed: the second to land merges the tiers by M range instead of dropping either copy. We have the per-M merged table from the side-by-side run. And yes, our 1–32 tiers are main's defaults, so the 1.08x there is noise.

The output tok/s (17,557) and tok/s per user (91.12) gains each come from one run. The excluded run measured 16,711, below all three baselines, and the "wo_b tiles, wo_a tiles and hand-off only" run (17,236) matches the best baseline (17,238). Median TPOT (7.14 and 7.11 vs 7.34-7.39 ms) is the only end-to-end metric that separates on both runs. Could you add two more runs of this PR, or lead with TPOT?

Agreed. We don't have more runs of this exact build, so the description now leads with TPOT: 7.14 and 7.11 ms on both runs of this PR, against 7.34–7.39 ms on all three baselines. The tok/s numbers are now marked as one run.

…ed tile

- The wo_a -> wo_b MXFP8 hand-off now also requires wo_b's linear kernel to be
  RocmDotScaledMxfp8LinearKernel, so a kernel that relays out the weight falls
  back to the separate quant. test_wo_b_takes_wo_a_mxfp8_gate covers the gate.
- The bit-exact wo_a test covers all nine fused-epilogue tiles, and the block32
  sweep adds 96, 300 and 2100 tokens.
- The MI355 MLA Kernels step runs the wo_a and gate tests.

@okorzh-amd thanks for the review. I've addressed your comments in 621c4e5 and in the description; the replies are in each thread. Still open: #64459 tunes the same four shapes, so I'll compare both tables and propose one merged table, and rebase onto main (after #63179) at the same time.

✅ @maslan-coop26, CI is now available for this PR.

  • /ci run starts upstream CI; /amd-ci run starts AMD CI only.
  • Run commands test your branch with every commit currently on its upstream target branch. If it is behind, the bot merges the target branch into it first (pull before pushing again). Append --allow-stale to a run command to test an outdated branch as is, at your own risk.
  • /ci retry retries failed jobs in the CI build for the current PR head. If the current head has no CI build, it starts a new CI build for the current head containing only jobs that failed in the latest earlier CI build for this PR.
  • /amd-ci retry retries failed jobs in AMD CI for the current PR head. Use /amd-ci run when the current head has no AMD CI build.
  • /ci cancel cancels scheduled or running CI builds for this PR branch; /amd-ci cancel does the same for AMD CI only.

Now that #63179 is in the base, wo_b's own linear fuses the activation quant into the block32 GEMM at M <= 8 (rocm_native.py:457, eligibility at rocm_block32_gemm.py:1032). When this gate holds, wo_b's linear is never called. At 1-8 tokens the wo_a tile is narrower than 32 columns, so rocm_dsv41_mxfp8_wo_a_bmm_mxfp8 runs the bf16 BMM plus a separate mxfp8_e4m3_quantize (rocm_aiter_mla_sparse.py:2179), and this branch then calls the unfused rocm_mxfp8_block32_gemm: one launch per layer more than main. That covers every TP1 layer at 8 or fewer tokens per rank (e.g. DP8 with one request per rank and DSpark K=6), and the TP2/TP4/TP8 monokernel layers that run only the FFN launch (model.py:288), where TP4 wo_b has a tuned fused tile (rocm_block32_gemm.py:766). The description says the opposite ("Below that, wo_b's linear quantizes the activation as it does on main"). Suggest moving the wo_b GEMM into the opaque op so its narrow-tile branch calls rocm_mxfp8_block32_gemm_quant on the bf16 wo_a output. Otherwise, could you show an A/B against main at 1-8 tokens?

Fixed in 98c7dcb. o_proj now runs one opaque op that takes the hand-off only where the wo_a tile can quantize (T·G > 128). Below that, the bf16 wo_a output goes to wo_b's own rocm_mxfp8_block32_gemm_quant, so #63179's fused quant still applies at tiny batches. The new test checks the path on both sides of T·G = 128 and that the output is bit-identical to wo_b's linear. I also corrected the description.

…ntize

Since vllm-project#63179, wo_b's linear quantizes its bf16 input inside the block32 GEMM
at M <= 8. The wo_a -> wo_b hand-off replaced wo_b's linear at every batch
size, and where the wo_a tile is narrower than one MX block (T * G <= 128)
it quantized separately and ran the unfused GEMM: one launch more per layer
than main at tiny batches.

o_proj now runs one opaque op, rocm_dsv41_mxfp8_o_proj, that picks per call:
wo_a's MXFP8 epilogue and the block32 GEMM where the tile can quantize, and
wo_a's bf16 output into rocm_mxfp8_block32_gemm_quant below that, as wo_b's
linear does. The branch is inside the op so the compiled o_proj does not
freeze the token count. test_rocm_mxfp8_wo_a_bmm_o_proj_matches_wo_b_linear
checks the path on both sides of T * G = 128 and that the output is
bit-identical to wo_b's linear.

@shen-shanshan @tjtanaa okorzh-amd's last point is fixed in 98c7dcb: where the wo_a tile is narrower than one MX block (T·G ≤ 128), the bf16 wo_a output now goes to wo_b's own rocm_mxfp8_block32_gemm_quant, so #63179's fused quant still applies at tiny batches. A new test checks both sides of that threshold, and Buildkite #98898 passed all 190 jobs. Could you take another look? It needs a code-owner approval to merge.

@khluu @Harry-Chen the one CI change is in .buildkite/test_areas/kernels.yaml: the MI355 MLA Kernels mirror now also runs the wo_a tests from test_rocm_triton_attn_dsv4.py, as okorzh-amd asked.

this PR's tiers for M <= 512 on wq_b, wo_b, shared gate_up and shared

main_proj (ReplicatedLinear, N=5120, K=15360) projects the target's aux hidden
states once per draft step, 7 rows a request, so a DEP8 rank runs it at
M = 56-336 (a DEP4 rank at about twice that). (5120, 15360) has no _TUNED
entry, so _default_config served it. This adds a tier list, the best configs
of a block32 sweep at M = 56-336, keeping the default packed configs at
M <= 32, and the shape to the block32 accuracy test.

MI355X, weights cold over 4 rotating copies, HIP graphs, us per call:

  M        14    42    56    84   112   126   133   168   224   280   336

Against an fp32 matmul of the dequantized inputs the new tiers reach a max
relative error of 2.95e-3 over M = 7-448, as the other tuned shapes do.
