📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughChangesSDPA THD support now accepts cuDNN SDPA cu-sequence-length support
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to The change expands THD attention to accept prefix-sum sequence lengths, but the current head still carries a bounded compatibility-test risk from missing cuDNN 9.24.0+ guards and unresolved annotation names that may fail linting or older-version test runs. It is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

🚀 Running mirror pipeline Branch: cudnn-gh/pr-522-efcea7e |
cu_seq_len_q/kv ((B+1,) prefix sums, cuDNN 9.24+) is the length form every major consumer natively holds — TE and PyTorch both launch a device conversion kernel per call today purely to feed cuDNN's per-batch SEQ_LEN form (TE: cu_seqlens_to_actual_seqlens each fwd+bwd; PyT: 2x at::diff in MHA.cpp). The frost THD lowering already derives both forms host-side from its inherent tolist round-trip, so accepting cu is free: - graph_analyzer: cu_seq_q_t/cu_seq_kv_t captured in facts (was only a bool); THD/padded graphs may carry either length form per side; both-forms-on-one-side stays analyzer-VALID (invalid means malformed-for-everyone) and is declined by the engine gate instead. - engines: dedicated cu gate replacing the generic capability row — serving rows (SM100 f16, SM120) take THD cu graphs; dense cu graphs stay declined until the kernels grow a CU read mode (len = cu[b+1] - cu[b]); ambiguous both-forms graphs decline with a precise reason. Binding + lowering route the cu buffer through the same seq-lens execute argument. - adapters: shared _thd_host_lens consumes either form in ONE D2H round-trip — per-batch lengths scan up to prefix sums, or cu differences down to lengths, with the prefix-sum invariants (starts at 0, non-decreasing) validated host-side where they are free to check. check_support rejects cu flags outside THD. - tests: THD cu end-to-end (both ragged Stats layouts + zero-length / all-KV-zero degenerates) and analyzer probes (accept THD cu, decline ambiguous). Testing (cc 10.0): cu tests 3 passed; sm100 THD/stats slice 116 passed; integration 10 passed; analyzer 71 passed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The THD lowerings re-derive packed addressing as prefix(lens) x token stride and never read the graph's bound ragged-offset values — TE-style padded THD (offsets from cu_seqlens_padded != cu_seqlens, gaps between sequences) is not served, and being runtime data it cannot be declined at plan time. State it on Capabilities.thd where every serving row inherits it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Rebase adaptation: the feature-operand refactor (NVIDIA#493/NVIDIA#528) moved seq-lens resolution into the presence-checked ga.resolve_feature_operands, which raised "padding mask (seq_len_kv) requested but no buffer was provided" for cu-form graphs (facts.seq_kv_t is None there). Either length form now satisfies a side directly in the helper — the (B+1,) cu buffer travels through the same operand slot — and the engines-side fallback becomes dead code and is removed.

Haobin: mirror the cu_seq_len tests into the SM120 suite. The THD harness gains the same cu_lens binding as the SM100 one ((B+1,) prefix-sum tensors through cu_seq_len_q/kv instead of per-batch lengths), with cu variants of the stats test (both declared layouts) and the degenerate-lengths sweep (zero-length sequence, all-KV-zero dead rows, all-Q-zero no-op).

Summary
Accept the
cu_seq_len_q/cu_seq_len_kvlength form ((B+1,) prefix sums, cuDNN 9.24+) in the FROST SDPA forward engines for THD (ragged) graphs — SM100 (all f16 flavors) and SM120.Prefix sums are the length currency every major varlen consumer natively holds, and feeding cuDNN's per-batch
SEQ_LENform costs them a device conversion on every call today: TransformerEngine launchescu_seqlens_to_actual_seqlenseach fwd+bwd, and PyTorch's cuDNN SDPA glue runs twoat::diffops per call (its publicvarlen_attnAPI takescu_seq_q/k). The FROST THD lowering already derives both forms host-side from its inherent tolist round-trip (the packed totals are runtime values that size the per-execute compile and grid), so accepting cu directly is free — no kernel changes:cu_seq_q_t/cu_seq_kv_tcaptured in facts (previously only a boolean); THD/padded graphs may carry either length form per side. Both-forms-on-one-side stays analyzer-VALID (invalidmeans malformed-for-everyone; the backend accepts it with its own precedence) and is declined by the engine gate instead.len = cu[b+1] - cu[b]read mode — follow-up PR); ambiguous both-forms graphs decline explicitly. The binding routes the cu buffer through the same seq-lens execute argument._thd_host_lenshelper consumes either form in the one existing D2H round-trip — per-batch lengths scan up to prefix sums, or cu differences down to lengths — with the prefix-sum invariants (starts at 0, non-decreasing) validated host-side where they are free to check.check_supportrejects cu flags outside THD, and the strict presence contract is unchanged.Capabilities.thd: the lowerings re-derive packed addressing asprefix(lens) × token strideand never read the bound ragged-offset values, so TE-style padded THD (cu_seqlens_padded != cu_seqlens) is not served — runtime data, undetectable at plan time.Why
Lets frameworks that hold
cu_seqlens(TE, PyTorchvarlen_attn, vLLM'squery_start_loc, FlashInfer'sindptr) bind their prefix sums directly — combined withset_ragged_offset_multiplier(#290), a caller needs zero device-side conversion kernels to drive a FROST THD graph.Related issues
Follow-up to #512. Related to #290, #381.
API and compatibility impact
FROST THD graphs may now declare
cu_seq_len_q/cu_seq_len_kvinstead ofseq_len_q/seq_len_kv(per side, not both); previously declined. Densecu_seq_lengraphs remain declined (precise reason given) pending the kernel CU read mode.seq_len_*behavior unchanged.Testing
