Dense padded graphs may now carry their per-batch lengths in the cu_seq_len ((B+1,) prefix-sum, cuDNN 9.24+) form on the frost SM100 f16 and SM120 f16 fwd engines. The kernels read len = cu[b+1] - cu[b] straight from the bound (B+1,) tensor, so the sync-free dense hot path stays sync-free — no host round-trip, no conversion kernel (THD pays an inherent tolist round-trip; dense never did, and accepting cu must not introduce one). Follow-up to NVIDIA#522, which added the THD host-side form. - kernels: one const_expr CU branch in the centralized SM100-family seq_kv read (_common_sm100._resolve_seqlen_kv, covering all seven SM100-family kernels) + the shared _bounds_for_tile_qtrim Q read; the four f16 epilogue padded-Q-trim reads gain the same branch; compile() sizes the fake seq-lens tensors (B+1,) under the CU flags. SM120 f16 mirrors it via seq_*_lens_cu kernel-class flags (dense length reads + fake tensor sizing); the SM120 fp8 template rejects the flags (allow_cu=False backstop). - config: TemplateParams seq_kv_lens_cu / seq_q_lens_cu -> CFG SEQ_KV_LENS_CU / SEQ_Q_LENS_CU on both arches, validated as dense-only and requiring the corresponding *_PRESENT flag (the cu flag declares the FORM; presence stays separate). - engines: new dense_cu_seq_len capability replaces the blanket "dense cu declined" gate — SM100 f16 + SM120 f16 rows serve dense cu; FP8/MXFP8/SM80 rows keep declining (no kernel CU read mode). The dense-BR gate (bottom_right_padded_seq_q) and the lowering's seq_q_lens_present derivation now treat cu-form Q lengths exactly like seq_len_q. - adapters: check_support accepts dense cu on f16 (still rejected for FP8/MXFP8), validating that a cu flag comes with its *_present flag; dense execute binds the caller's (B+1,) tensor directly as a validated view (_checked_cu_seq_lens — stable pointer, CUDA-graph friendly); compile threads the dense-only CU template keys (THD cu still compiles to the same THD specialization as per-batch lengths). - tests: SM100 e2e dense cu (KV padding via cu on all four f16 flavors, both dtypes, and a cu-form padded-Q trim + Stats check per flavor); SM120 mirrors (cu_lens harness form + padded / trim-stats cu variants, CI-covered — skip on SM100 boxes); analyzer probes (dense cu accepted on serving rows, declined on FP8/MXFP8, BR + cu-q-lens declined on SM100 and served on SM120, ambiguous both-forms-per-side still declined for everyone). Testing (cc 10.0, cuDNN 9.24): new dense-cu e2e 12 passed; analyzer 82 passed; sm100 thd/stats/contract/graph_api/padded/cu L0+L1 slice 230 passed; fp8 29 + mxfp8 21 passed (shared config/common helper touched); integration 10 passed; test_mhas_v2 fwd_ragged_unified_L1 (incl. cu_ragged) 128 passed — backend routing unperturbed (the mixed-forms suite skips at 9.24: it needs the 9.25 backend, a pre-existing gate).

Enable cu_seq_len for the SM120 FP8 capability.
SdpaFwdDslSm120._execute_fp8() consumes THD prefix sums host-side. allow_cu=False only disables dense kernel CU flags. Because _sm120_fp8_spec() leaves Capabilities.cu_seq_len=False, mismatch() rejects every SM120 FP8 THD graph that uses either cu_seq_len_q or cu_seq_len_kv. Add cu_seq_len=True and regression coverage.

Summary
Serve dense-padded graphs carrying the
cu_seq_len_q/cu_seq_len_kvlength form ((B+1,) prefix sums, cuDNN 9.24+) on the FROST SDPA forward engines — SM100 (all four f16 flavors) and SM120 f16 — via a kernel CU read mode: the kernels readlen = cu[b+1] - cu[b]straight from the bound (B+1,) tensor, so the sync-free dense hot path stays sync-free (no host round-trip, no conversion kernel — THD pays an inherent tolist round-trip; dense never did, and accepting cu must not introduce one).const_exprCU branch in the centralized SM100-family KV-length read (_common_sm100._resolve_seqlen_kv, shared by all seven SM100-family kernels) and the shared_bounds_for_tile_qtrimQ read; the four f16 epilogues' padded-Q-trim reads gain the same branch;compile()sizes the fake seq-lens tensors (B+1,) under the CU flags. SM120 f16 mirrors it withseq_*_lens_cukernel-class flags; the SM120 fp8 template rejects the flags (allow_cu=Falsebackstop).TemplateParams.seq_kv_lens_cu/seq_q_lens_cu→ CFGSEQ_KV_LENS_CU/SEQ_Q_LENS_CUon both arches, validated as dense-only and requiring the corresponding*_PRESENTflag (the cu flag declares the FORM of the lengths argument; presence stays separate).dense_cu_seq_lencapability replaces frost(sdpa): accept the cu_seq_len (prefix-sum) length form for THD #522's blanket "dense cu declined" gate — the SM100 f16 and SM120 f16 rows serve dense cu graphs; the FP8/MXFP8 and SM80 rows keep declining with a precise reason (no kernel CU read mode). The dense-BR gate (bottom_right_padded_seq_q) and the lowering'sseq_q_lens_presentderivation treat cu-form Q lengths exactly likeseq_len_q(SM100 declines dense BR + cu-q-lens; SM120 serves it).check_supportaccepts dense cu on the f16 paths (stillNotImplementedErrorfor FP8/MXFP8) and validates that a cu flag comes with its*_presentflag; denseexecutebinds the caller's (B+1,) tensor directly as a validated view (_checked_cu_seq_lens— zero copies, stable pointer, CUDA-graph friendly);compilethreads the dense-only CU template keys, and THD cu still compiles to the same THD specialization as per-batch lengths (plan-time-only form difference).Why
Prefix sums are the length currency varlen frameworks natively hold (TE, PyTorch
varlen_attn, vLLMquery_start_loc, FlashInferindptr). #522 accepted them for THD; batched-padded (dense BSHD + padding mask) callers hold the samecu_seqlensand previously had to convert to per-batch lengths with a device kernel per call. With the CU read mode they bind the prefix sums directly at zero cost.Related issues
Fixes #525. Follow-up to #522.
API and compatibility impact
Dense padded FROST graphs may now declare
cu_seq_len_q/cu_seq_len_kvinstead ofseq_len_q/seq_len_kv(per side; forms may be mixed across sides, never combined on one side) on the SM100 f16 and SM120 f16 rows; previously declined. FP8/MXFP8/SM80 rows and the ambiguous both-forms-per-side combination keep declining with precise reasons.seq_len_*behavior and the THD cu path are unchanged.Testing
On a cc 10.0 (SM100) GPU, cuDNN 9.24:
pytest sdpa/frost/test_sdpa_graph_analyzer.py— 82 passed (new probes: dense cu accepted on serving rows, declined on FP8/MXFP8, BR + cu-q-lens declined on SM100 / served on SM120, both-forms-per-side still declined for everyone).pytest sdpa/frost/test_sdpa_fwd_dsl_sm100.py -m "L0 or L1" -k "thd or stats or contract or graph_api or padded or cu"— 230 passed.test_mhas_v2.py::test_sdpa_random_fwd_ragged_unified_L1(includescu_raggedconfigs) — 128 passed, backend routing unperturbed. Themixed_seq_len_forms_L0suite skips on this box (its mixed forms need the cuDNN 9.25 backend — a pre-existing gate, untouched here).🤖 Generated with Claude Code
