📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds SM107 block-scale GEMM and MoE kernels, FP8 E5M3 support, pipeline-aware tile configuration, shared kernel helpers, dynamic benchmark configuration resolution, and architecture-gated validation. ChangesFROST SM107 and block-scale support
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This change adds new SM107 block-scale and grouped GEMM paths, but the current head can produce incorrect GEMM results and can derive launches from a shared-memory budget the kernel may not receive; benchmark scheduling and test collection also have concrete inconsistencies. These correctness and runtime risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

216-224: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winConsider expressing the arch restriction once per case instead of once per family.
Nine rows now encode three facts. The three FP4 cases each carry the identical
((107, 110),)range, repeated forsm100,sm103, andsm107. The restriction is a property of the MMA case, not of the template family.The maintenance risk points the unsafe way. A new family added to
PIPELINE_ARCH_RANGESandMMA_TYPE_SUPPORTneeds three more rows here. If an author forgets them, the lookup finds no entry and the case is accepted across that family's whole SM range, rather than rejected. Silent over-acceptance is harder to notice than a rejection.A case-keyed table consulted before the family-keyed one would state each fact once and make the family table hold only genuine per-family exceptions. This is a maintainability change with no behaviour change today, so it can be deferred.

Reject _static labels for non-sm100 pipelines.
The parsed-label path returns "static" for every pipeline. benchmark/gemm/frost/benchmark_block_scale_matmul.py line 40 defines sm103 and sm107 as CLC-only. An explicit CONFIG_sm103_..._static or CONFIG_sm107_..._static label now bypasses that contract and can reach JIT compilation with an unsupported scheduler.

CUDNN_DATA_FP8_E5M3 introduced cuDNN version 9.26
💡 Result:
The claim that "CUDNN_DATA_FP8_E5M3" was introduced in cuDNN version 9.26 is incorrect. There is no such data type in the NVIDIA cuDNN library. NVIDIA cuDNN utilizes standard FP8 data formats, specifically: - CUDNN_DATA_FP8_E4M3 (8-bit, 4 exponent bits, 3 mantissa bits) [1][2][3] - CUDNN_DATA_FP8_E5M2 (8-bit, 5 exponent bits, 2 mantissa bits) [1][2][3] These data types have been supported in cuDNN for several releases [4][2][5]. The naming convention follows the standard E4M3 and E5M2 formats widely used across the NVIDIA software stack, including the CUDA Math API and Transformer Engine [6][7][8][9]. As of August 2026, cuDNN version 9.26 does not exist; the latest cuDNN 9.x series releases (such as 9.25.0) contain support for FP8 tensors, but no "E5M3" variant [2][3].

site:docs.nvidia.com cudnn CUDNN_DATA_FP8_E5M3
💡 Result:
In the NVIDIA cuDNN library, there is no data type named CUDNN_DATA_FP8_E5M3 [1][2][3]. The cuDNN library supports two variants of the 8-bit floating point (FP8) data type for input/output operations, which were introduced for architectures including NVIDIA Hopper and Ada Lovelace [2][4][5]: CUDNN_DATA_FP8_E4M3: An 8-bit quantity consisting of 1 sign bit, 4 exponent bits, and 3 mantissa bits [1][6]. CUDNN_DATA_FP8_E5M2: An 8-bit quantity consisting of 1 sign bit, 5 exponent bits, and 2 mantissa bits [1][6]. These FP8 data types are used to leverage FP8 Tensor Cores for improved performance [2][4]. When using these data types, developers can control the precision of accumulation within the Tensor Cores by selecting a compute type, typically either CUDNN_DATA_FLOAT or the higher-throughput CUDNN_DATA_FAST_FLOAT_FOR_FP8 [2][5][6].

Use a valid cuDNN FP8 enumerator. CUDNN_DATA_FP8_E5M3 is not a cuDNN symbol, and cuDNN 9.26.0 is not a released version. Map this case to a supported type such as CUDNN_DATA_FP8_E4M3, or remove it and align the version guards with an actual cuDNN release.

Correct the register counts in the warp-layout docstring.
The docstring states setmaxnreg.inc 216 for the epilogue warps and setmaxnreg.dec 40 for the producer warps. The code sets epi_reg_count = 232 and prod_reg_count = 24 at Lines 132-133. The header is the only description of this kernel's register budget, so the mismatch misleads later tuning.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔴 Critical | 🏗️ Heavy lift
SFA utccp destinations do not follow the atom-major scale-word layout that SFB and the comments use. All three new SM107 block-scale templates document one rule — atom a of MN-block m sits at (a * num_blocks + m) * registers_per_atom — and implement it for sfb_dst_ptrs only. Each sfa_dst_ptrs instead uses m * registers_per_block + a * registers_per_atom, which is block-major. The two forms agree only when word_atoms == 1, so the new K-block-16 path writes A's scales to columns the MMA does not read through scale_a=sfa_dst_ptrs[...][mi][0].

Add a word_atoms > 1 test case for each template so the K-block-16 path is covered against a reference implementation.

Validate the packed A row stride before creating the TMA descriptor
The address shift is safe for FP4 because ab_dtype is the packed 8-bit Float4E2M1FNx2 type. However, the runtime checks validate only the logical K extent and the innermost stride.
If a_stride_m * ab_dtype.width is not divisible by 128, the global_strides calculation truncates at descriptor creation and TMA uses the wrong row stride. Validate this condition for every A operand.

CuTe DSL cute.compile launch dynamic shared memory max dynamic shared size attribute cudaFuncSetAttribute
💡 Result:
In the NVIDIA CuTe DSL, managing dynamic shared memory and configuring kernel launch attributes are handled through a combination of the DSL’s high-level abstractions and standard CUDA runtime mechanisms [1][2][3]. CuTe DSL Shared Memory Management: CuTe DSL provides a SmemAllocator utility to manage shared memory allocation within kernels [1][3]. When defining a kernel, you can instantiate this allocator to manage tensor allocations in shared memory [1][3]. In many cases, CuTe DSL automatically calculates the required shared memory size [3]. When manually launching or managing specific sizes, the launch function (e.g.,.launch) accepts a parameter (typically smem=...) to reserve the necessary dynamic shared memory [3]. cudaFuncSetAttribute and Dynamic Shared Memory: The CUDA runtime attribute cudaFuncAttributeMaxDynamicSharedMemorySize (or CU_FUNC_ATTRIBUTE_MAX_DYNAMIC_SHARED_SIZE_BYTES in the Driver API) is used to increase the limit of dynamic shared memory available to a specific kernel beyond the default limit (often 48 KB) [4][5][6][7]. Key constraints and usage details: - Mechanism: Before launching the kernel, you must call cudaFuncSetAttribute to set the maximum dynamic shared memory size for that specific function pointer [4][5]. - Capacity: The sum of the requested dynamic shared memory and the static shared memory already used by the function must not exceed the device's hardware limit, specifically the device attribute cudaDevAttrMaxSharedMemoryPerBlockOptin [4][5]. - Implementation: For C++ template kernels, ensure all template parameters are fully specified when passing the function pointer to cudaFuncSetAttribute, otherwise a compilation or runtime error may occur [7]. - Dynamic Layouts: While CuTe DSL's cute.compile allows for dynamic layouts to reuse JIT-compiled code for varying input shapes, this is distinct from the hardware-level dynamic shared memory limit [8][9]. Dynamic layouts handle the flexibility of the tensor shapes at runtime, whereas cudaFuncSetAttribute manages the resource allocation capacity required by the kernel's memory footprint [8][4][7]. If you are using the CuTe DSL Python interface, the SmemAllocator and the launch parameters generally abstract away the need to call cudaFuncSetAttribute manually, provided the environment and architecture allow for the required allocation size [1][3].

CUTLASS CuTe Python cute.compile shared memory launch configuration max dynamic shared memory
💡 Result:
In the CUTLASS CuTe Python DSL, managing shared memory and launch configurations, including dynamic shared memory, is handled through the kernel's.launch method and utility classes like SmemAllocator [1][2]. Shared Memory Management By default, the CuTe DSL automatically calculates the required shared memory size for a kernel using the cutlass.utils.SmemAllocator when the smem parameter in.launch is set to None (the default behavior) [1][2][3]. This is the recommended approach unless manual control is required [2]. If you need to manually specify the amount of dynamic shared memory, you can pass an integer value to the smem parameter during the kernel launch [2]: kernel_function(...).launch( grid=..., block=..., smem=dynamic_smem_size_in_bytes # Manually specify shared memory size) Compiling with Options The cute.compile function allows for JIT compilation with various options [4][5]. While compilation options primarily control aspects like optimization levels, debugging flags (e.g., --generate-line-info), and PTXAS settings, they are distinct from the runtime kernel launch configuration [4][5]. You can specify these options either as positional arguments (as strings) or using Pythonic option types [4][5]. For example: compiled = cute.compile(my_kernel, *args, options="--generate-line-info") Additional Advanced Configuration The DSL also provides specific parameters for granular control over shared memory and kernel behavior at launch [2]: - smem_merge_branch_allocs: When set to True, enables merging shared-memory allocations across control flow branches instead of the default additive allocation [2]. - preferred_smem_carveout: Allows you to manually set a hint for the percentage of SM on-chip memory reserved for shared memory versus L1 cache [2]. - get_dyn_smem_size: You can use the cutlass.cute.arch.get_dyn_smem_size API to query the runtime dynamic shared memory size [6][7][8]. - get_smem_capacity_in_bytes: Use this utility to query the total shared memory capacity available on the target architecture [6][7][8].

site:docs.nvidia.com/cutlass/latest/media/docs/pythonDSL "preferred_smem_carveout" launch
💡 Result:
In the context of the NVIDIA CUTLASS library (specifically its Python DSL), preferred_smem_carveout is a configuration hint used to specify the percentage of on-chip memory (SMEM) to reserve for shared memory versus L1 cache [1]. Key details include: - Function: It acts as an override or hint that allows users to control the SMEM/L1 cache carveout ratio [1]. - Default Behavior: When set to None (the default), the system automatically calculates the percentage based on the formula: ceil_div(min_blocks_per_mp * smem * 100, max_smem_per_mp) [1]. This automatic calculation applies when the minimum blocks per multiprocessor (min_blocks_per_mp) is greater than 1 [1]. - Manual Control: Users can provide an integer value to override this automatic calculation and manually set the desired carveout hint [1].

site:github.com/NVIDIA/cutlass "preferred_smem_carveout" "launch"
💡 Result:
The preferred_smem_carveout option is a feature introduced in NVIDIA CUTLASS (specifically noted in version 4.6) that allows users to manually set the shared memory (smem) carveout preference when launching kernels [1][2]. Key details regarding this feature include: Manual and Auto-Calculation: While CUTLASS 4.6 supports automatic calculation of per-kernel shared memory carveout preferences, preferred_smem_carveout provides a mechanism for users to specify this value manually when manual control is required [1][3]. Usage Context: In recent CUTLASS versions, the launch configuration smem setting defaults to None, which triggers auto-calculation of kernel shared memory usage; this is the recommended approach for most use cases [3][4]. Warnings and Validation: The system is designed to issue warnings if a manually set shared memory size is found to be insufficient or if it exceeds the maximum capacity of the GPU [1][3]. Related Options: The default shared memory usage calculation follows standard CUDA C++ static shared memory behavior (summing allocations additively) [1][2]. Additionally, a related launch option, smem_merge_branch_allocs, is available to merge shared memory allocations across mutually exclusive code branches, which helps reduce the total memory footprint for inlined mega-kernels [1][3].

CUDA oversized shared memory carveout MAX_OVERSIZED_SHARED_MEMORY_PER_BLOCK preferred shared memory carveout SM 10.7
💡 Result:
In the context of the NVIDIA Rubin Architecture (compute capability 10.7), shared memory management utilizes established CUDA attributes to handle dynamic allocation and carveout preferences [1][2]. There is no specific attribute named MAX_OVERSIZED_SHARED_MEMORY_PER_BLOCK; instead, developers manage large shared memory requirements using the standard dynamic shared memory attribute, cudaFuncAttributeMaxDynamicSharedMemorySize (or CU_FUNC_ATTRIBUTE_MAX_DYNAMIC_SHARED_SIZE_BYTES in the Driver API) [3][4][5]. Key aspects for managing shared memory on SM 10.7 include: 1. Dynamic Shared Memory Opt-in: To use shared memory beyond the static 48 KB limit, developers must use cudaFuncSetAttribute to set the cudaFuncAttributeMaxDynamicSharedMemorySize attribute for a specific kernel [4][6]. This is a requirement for kernels needing larger footprints, as SM 10.7 architectures have specific performance characteristics regarding in-flight memory requests [1][2]. 2. Preferred Shared Memory Carveout: The attribute cudaFuncAttributePreferredSharedMemoryCarveout (or CU_FUNC_ATTRIBUTE_PREFERRED_SHARED_MEMORY_CARVEOUT) allows developers to provide a hint to the driver regarding the preferred split between L1 cache and shared memory, expressed as a percentage of the total available shared memory [3][5][7]. This remains a hint, and the driver may override it based on the requirements of the kernel [3][8]. 3. Architecture-Specific Handling: Evidence indicates that SM 10.7 devices (Rubin) may require specialized handling for shared memory queries [9]. Attempting to query certain device attributes on non-10.7 hardware—or conversely, failing to correctly guard Rubin-specific attribute queries—can lead to errors such as CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE [9]. Proper implementation involves validating the dynamic_request_size against device limits before attempting to set kernel attributes to avoid sticky API errors [10]. In summary, standard CUDA programming patterns for dynamic shared memory continue to apply to SM 10.7, with specific attention required for guarding architecture-specific attribute queries to ensure compatibility and avoid runtime errors [9][10].

"MAX_OVERSIZED_SHARED_MEMORY_PER_BLOCK" CUDA 13.4 oversized shared memory
💡 Result:
There is no standard CUDA API or documentation reference for a symbol named MAX_OVERSIZED_SHARED_MEMORY_PER_BLOCK. In CUDA, the management of shared memory exceeding the legacy 48 KB per-block limit is handled via dynamic shared memory allocation and the cudaFuncSetAttribute function [1][2][3]. To use more than 48 KB of shared memory per thread block, you must perform the following: 1. Use dynamic shared memory (shared memory declared without a fixed size in the kernel, often using extern shared variables) [3]. 2. Opt in to the increased limit by calling cudaFuncSetAttribute with the cudaFuncAttributeMaxDynamicSharedMemorySize attribute, setting it to the desired number of bytes [4][5][3]. Architectural limits vary by GPU compute capability. For example, on Blackwell (Compute Capability 10.0), a single thread block can address up to 227 KB of shared memory, while on Ada (Compute Capability 8.9), the limit is 99 KB [1][2]. These limits are enforced after accounting for a 1 KB reservation by the system [1][2][6]. Statically allocated shared memory remains limited to 48 KB; attempting to statically allocate more than this may result in a compilation error (ptxas) or unexpected behavior depending on the compiler version [1][2][7]. If you are encountering a symbol named MAX_OVERSIZED_SHARED_MEMORY_PER_BLOCK, it is likely a custom define, macro, or internal constant specific to a particular third-party codebase, library, or framework, rather than an official part of the CUDA 13.4 Toolkit API.

"oversized shared memory" CUDA "preferred shared memory carveout"
💡 Result:
In modern CUDA architectures (Volta and later), shared memory and L1 cache are co-located in the same physical memory space [1][2]. To manage this, developers can adjust the preferred "carveout"—the portion of that memory reserved for shared memory [3][2]. Setting the Preferred Shared Memory Carveout You can express a preference for the shared memory size at the kernel level using cudaFuncSetAttribute [3][4]. This is a hint to the driver, which may override your preference if necessary for successful execution [5][4]. The attribute cudaFuncAttributePreferredSharedMemoryCarveout accepts either an integer percentage (0–100) of the maximum supported shared memory capacity or predefined values [3]: - cudaSharedmemCarveoutDefault - cudaSharedmemCarveoutMaxL1 - cudaSharedmemCarveoutMaxShared Example usage: cudaFuncSetAttribute(kernel_name, cudaFuncAttributePreferredSharedMemoryCarveout, 50); // Set to 50% capacity "Oversized" Shared Memory If you need to use more shared memory than the default (typically 48 KB) [6][7], you must utilize dynamic shared memory [8][6]. 1. Request Size: Specify the required size in the third execution configuration parameter when launching your kernel [9][10]: kernel<<<grid, block, size_in_bytes>>>(...); 2. Access in Kernel: Declare the memory as extern in your kernel [8][10]: extern shared float s[]; 3. Runtime Attribute: To ensure the driver allocates enough memory for configurations exceeding default limits, use cudaFuncSetAttribute with cudaFuncAttributeMaxDynamicSharedMemorySize [6]: cudaFuncSetAttribute(kernel, cudaFuncAttributeMaxDynamicSharedMemorySize, size_in_bytes); Important Considerations - Hardware Limits: The maximum shared memory capacity varies by GPU architecture (e.g., A100 supports up to 164 KB, H100 up to 227 KB per SM) [9][2][7]. - Performance Trade-offs: Increasing the shared memory carveout reduces the space available for the L1 cache, which can negatively impact the performance of kernels that rely heavily on L1 caching for global memory accesses [4]. - Synchronization: Always use syncthreads() to manage access to shared memory, as it is a critical tool for inter-thread communication [9][8]. - Legacy APIs: Older APIs like cudaFuncSetCacheConfig were primarily designed for older architectures (Fermi, Kepler, Maxwell) where memory partitioning was more rigid; cudaFuncSetAttribute is the preferred approach for modern devices [10][2].

🌐 Web query:
site:docs.nvidia.com/cuda "CU_DEVICE_ATTRIBUTE_MAX_OVERSIZED_SHARED_MEMORY_PER_BLOCK"
💡 Result:
CU_DEVICE_ATTRIBUTE_MAX_OVERSIZED_SHARED_MEMORY_PER_BLOCK is a device attribute in the CUDA Driver API used to query the maximum amount of oversized shared memory allowed per thread block [1]. This attribute is typically utilized to determine hardware limits for shared memory configurations that exceed standard capacity thresholds [1]. In CUDA programming, developers commonly manage shared memory limits using attributes such as CU_DEVICE_ATTRIBUTE_MAX_SHARED_MEMORY_PER_BLOCK and CU_DEVICE_ATTRIBUTE_MAX_SHARED_MEMORY_PER_BLOCK_OPTIN [2]. The latter is particularly important for applications that opt into larger shared memory sizes, often constrained by the architectural limits defined by CU_FUNC_ATTRIBUTE_MAX_DYNAMIC_SHARED_SIZE_BYTES [2][3]. While standard shared memory limits are well-documented for kernel launches, the "oversized" attribute specifically pertains to advanced or architecture-specific memory configurations [1]. For most standard CUDA development, developers should continue to rely on the primary attributes found in the cudaDeviceProp structure (such as sharedMemPerBlock and sharedMemPerBlockOptin) [4] and manage dynamic shared memory allocations through function attributes [5][3].

Request the oversized SMEM carveout for generated kernels.
The generated .launch(...) calls do not set preferred_smem_carveout or an equivalent function attribute. If ab_stages uses the oversized budget, configure the launch to request that capacity whenever it exceeds shared_memory_per_block_optin; otherwise cap the budget. Also define whether the oversized budget applies to the sm100 and sm103 pipelines, since _sm_smem_ab_budget_bytes currently applies it to every pipeline.

test_tile_select_analytic.py#L104-L121 has no marker. The dispatch and template-selection tests inherit pytest.mark.L0, but the three SM107 end-to-end parameter sweeps also inherit L0; assign them higher levels.

The warp-layout docstrings report register counts the code does not use. The affected templates document setmaxnreg.inc 216 and setmaxnreg.dec 40, while the kernels use epi_reg_count = 232 and prod_reg_count = 24. Update the documentation to match the actual register budget so later tuning is not based on incorrect guidance.

Raise the level of the large sweeps and mark the SM107 parameter
pytestmark = pytest.mark.L0 applies to the entire file. The large SM107 and E5M3 sweeps still run as L0; assign them a higher level.
_GPU allows SM103, but the _SM107_128 parameter reaches the forced-config JIT there and raises NotImplementedError. Split the parameters or mark the SM107 case with requires_sm107 so only that case skips.

…cuda-python oversized_shared_memory_per_block() passed a bare attribute ordinal (150, CU_DEVICE_ATTRIBUTE_MAX_OVERSIZED_SHARED_MEMORY_PER_BLOCK, added in CUDA 13.4) to cuda-python's cuDeviceGetAttribute. That binding is strongly typed on the attribute -- it reads attrib.value -- so a bare int (for an enum member the installed cuda-python does not carry; 13.0.2 tops out at 148) raises "'int' object has no attribute 'value'". The query is on the tile-selection hot path (_sm_smem_budget_bytes_of), so this one call took down every frost GEMM kernel: on develop tip the frost gemm suite is 5641 failed / 163 passed, all with that single signature; the query was introduced in NVIDIA#593.

From 13.4 the attribute is real, so query it via the proper enum and let a genuine failure raise rather than masking it as 0. This keeps "expected absence" (below 13.4) distinct from an unexpected driver error, and needs no ctypes / bare-ordinal workaround. Validated: frost gemm suite 5804 passed / 0 failed after the fix (was 5641 failed / 163 passed); test_public_execute_flavors.py 30 passed on py3.12 (fe-jax, driver 13.2 -> returns 0).

…kend handle, device, stream}) (#612) * Make cudnn.set_stream idempotent: skip the backend call when the stream is unchanged cudnnSetStream is not free. For a non-null stream, cudnn::ops::SetStream (backend src/graph/src/context.cpp) issues several CUDA driver queries on EVERY call — green-context detection (cuStreamGetGreenCtx), cudaStreamGetPriority, cudaDeviceGetStreamPriorityRange, plus a cudaEventRecord device check when the stream changes — to maintain cuDNN's internal per-priority / per-green-context stream pool. It does this even when the stream has not changed (there is no unchanged-stream early return). On Blackwell that is ~2.4us/call (measured), and a framework that calls set_stream before every execute pays it every iteration. Cache the last stream per handle in the Python layer and skip the backend call when it is unchanged, so a steady-state single-stream loop pays it once. destroy_handle forgets the entry so a reused handle address is not wrongly skipped. Assumes a handle is not driven from two streams concurrently (the normal single-stream case; a caller that does needs its own handle per stream regardless). This closes most of the per-op host-overhead gap between routing a plain GEMM through cuDNN and calling cuBLAS directly (the cudnn backend execute itself is already at cuBLAS parity). A complementary backend fix — an unchanged-stream early return in SetStream — would help all callers (including framework code that calls cudnnSetStream directly); filed separately. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Skip the discarded per-call context in graph.execute() execute() built a caller ExecutionContext (a cudnnGetStream round-trip + an object alloc) at the top of every call, but only used it when the plan was not yet built. In steady state the plan is built, so the context was computed and thrown away on every execute — a ~2.9us tax that made execute() slower than execute_plan_at_index() for the identical plan. Move the context build inside the `not _is_built` branch, where it is the only user. No API/behavior change; the JIT-build path still gets the caller's handle/stream. On SM100, 256^3 bf16 single-plan matmul this closes the whole execute()-vs-execute_plan_at_index() gap (16.3 -> 10.5 us), matching execute_plan_at_index; test_matmul_bias_relu 34 passed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Make cudnn.create_handle() return a first-class Handle The backend cudnnHandle_t binds a device and carries the stream, but on the FE side the handle was a bare int with nowhere to hang per-handle state, so that state accreted as side tables (the _handle_to_stream dict) and per-engine device queries (frost's current_device()). create_handle() now returns a cudnn.Handle owning {backend_handle, device, stream}. The naming anticipates the front end being "cudnn" and today's cuDNN becoming "cudnn backend": this object is the handle; the wrapped cudnnHandle_t is its backend_handle. - The backend handle is handed to C++ EXPLICITLY -- to_backend_handle(h) at the named handoffs (_execute*, backend_graph) and unwrap_handles(args, kwargs) at the opaque passthroughs (get_workspace_size, cuda-graph, deserialize). A reader can grep `backend_handle` and trace the plumbing top-to-bottom without an IDE. An inventory confirmed every handle->C++ handoff is in _pygraph/__init__ (the __getattr__ delegation carries no handle), so the set is closed. Handle has NO __index__: the only path to the backend is those explicit calls, and a Handle reaching a binding unconverted fails loudly. No C++ binding changes. - Dunders are minimal (no int coercion; __eq__/__hash__/__bool__ at object defaults) so the handle stays a valid dict key, stays truthy in `if handle:`, and does not raise on wrapper.py's `== 'auto'`. - stream lives on Handle.stream (absorbing the write-only _handle_to_stream cache); get_stream() reads it with no cudnnGetStream round-trip, which also removes the live query _resolve_stream did on every python-engine execute. - device is a lazy DeviceInfo (compute_capability + packed sm_version, sm_count, smem-optin, oversized-smem, L2, name) sourced from the frost driver introspector and cached per ordinal -- one device-info surface for the FE. Foreign raw-int handles (framework-created via the C API) keep working: stream falls back to the _handle_to_stream registry keyed by int(handle), and a live cudnnGetStream. Design + call-site inventory in docs/handle_first_class_design.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * frost: fix oversized-SMEM query crashing all frost GEMM on CUDA<13.4 cuda-python oversized_shared_memory_per_block() passed a bare attribute ordinal (150, CU_DEVICE_ATTRIBUTE_MAX_OVERSIZED_SHARED_MEMORY_PER_BLOCK, added in CUDA 13.4) to cuda-python's cuDeviceGetAttribute.

Build-time + lru_cached: 0.38us first call, 50ns cached, never on the execute path. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * frost(gemm): bake the plan for the handle's device, not the ambient one The FROST GEMM engine read every device-derived kernel constant (arch, ab_stages, grid_num_clusters, sm_count, the SMEM/L2 budgets) off frost.device.current_device() -- a workaround from when the graph handed it no device. With a first-class cudnn.Handle carrying a device, source them from the handle instead, so a plan is baked for the GPU the handle is on rather than whatever CUDA device happens to be current at build time. Every one of those constants already funnels through current_device() / resolve_device(None), so rather than thread an ordinal through ~20 signatures, scope it once: build_device(ordinal) is a context manager (like torch.cuda.device()) that overrides current_device() for the build. FrostGemmEngine .build_plan wraps build_gemm_plan() in `with build_device(ctx.handle.device.ordinal)`. tile_config._sm_count() -- the one query that bypassed current_device() (it used torch.cuda.current_device) -- is re-routed through frost.device so it honours the scope too. Grep `build_device`/`_build_device` to trace it end to end. _check_plan_device is unchanged: it is the EXECUTE-time launch guard and must read the LIVE current device (where the launch is going) vs the baked device; the override is a build scope only, unset at execute. VariantPack.device likewise stays on the live device (operand views, read at execute). Validated: frost gemm test_public_execute_flavors + test_stream_respect 32 passed (no regression, SM100); test_build_device.py scopes a build to a different-arch real GPU (L40S/H100/A100) and asserts every constant reports that device -- the multi-GPU behaviour proven on parley without two Blackwells. Foreign raw-int handles (or none) carry no device -> None -> classic current-device. Follow-up: same hinge wrap for the linear-attention and sdpa frost engines (they also read buffers.current_sm()/current_device_id() at build). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * device: extract the device-fact layer to a common cudnn._device.DeviceInfo Frost had its own device introspection (frost/device.py querying the driver for compute capability, SM count, the SMEM/L2 ceilings, ...), a workaround from when the FE had no device concept to hand it. Move that layer up to a common cudnn._device.DeviceInfo: each fact is a @cached_property queried from the driver once and cached ON the instance, with one instance per CUDA ordinal (device_info(ordinal), lru-cached), so a GPU's facts are asked for once and shared. Handle.device is that object. This inverts the direction: the driver queries used to live in frost and DeviceInfo (Handle.device) delegated down to them; now the common layer owns the queries + cache, and frost/device.py's fact functions become thin shims onto device_info(ordinal). Frost's ~24-file / 65-site call surface is unchanged (still frost.device.compute_capability(ord)), but it now reads the same DeviceInfo the handle exposes -- one device concept, not a per-engine introspection stack. A later step can repoint those sites at handle.device.* directly; this ownership move is the enabling half. frost/device.py keeps only its runtime concerns (current_device / build_device / resolve_device / device_context), importing the driver machinery from cudnn._device. Validated: handle.device facts + frost shims read the same instance; cache lives on the DeviceInfo instance (test_device_info.py, 3 passed); Handle-core set_stream 4 + matmul/conv/rope 41; build_device cross-device redirect 3; frost gemm test_public_execute_flavors + test_stream_respect 32 -- all pass, no regression. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Give the passthrough methods explicit signatures; drop unwrap_handles get_workspace_size, get_workspace_size_plan_at_index and populate/update_cuda_graph were (*args, **kwargs) passthroughs, which meant the handle could be at any position -- so the handle->backend conversion had to scan every arg (unwrap_handles). The C++ overloads are just optional trailing args, so ONE explicit Python signature per method (handle=None, override_uids/shapes/strides=None) forwards to them with no duplication, and the handle is unwrapped by name via to_backend_handle(). The methods now self-document and a reader can see exactly where the backend handle is extracted. (test_api_signature_parity only covers __init__/tensor, so these are free to make explicit.) deserialize is the one genuinely ambiguous classic overload -- (data) vs (handle, data, enforce_precompiled) -- so it stays a passthrough, unwrapping just its first positional (the only place a handle can be; to_backend_handle is a no-op on the data blob). unwrap_handles is removed. Validated: test_deviceless_aot_compilation (deserialize, positional handle) + set_stream + device_info + matmul 44 passed; build_device 3; frost gemm 32. The 4 test_block_scale_quantize_dynamic_shape failures are pre-existing (the override-shape backend feature needs cuDNN >= 9.21; the local .so is 9.20) -- identical on HEAD. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * frost(linear-attention): bake gdn/gdn2/kda plans for the handle's device Like the frost GEMM engine, the GDN/GDN2/KDA engines read their one device-baked constant -- num_sm, for the split-K work distribution -- off the ambient device (multiprocessor_count(current_device_id()), a buffers probe that bypasses the build-device scope). Wrap each build_plan in `with build_device(ctx.handle.device .ordinal)` and re-route num_sm onto frost.device.current_device(), so the plan is sized for the handle's GPU rather than whatever CUDA device is current at build. The sdpa frost engines need no such change: their build bakes no device constant from current_device (arch gating lives in check_support), and the lone torch.cuda.current_device() tags a TensorDesc's operand device, which is correctly the live device (as VariantPack.device is). Validated: test_la.py 359 passed / 462 skipped / 0 failed on SM100 (frost opted in) -- no regression across the gdn/gdn2/kda forward + backward engines. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * env: single owner for CUDA driver/runtime versions (cudnn/_env.py) Version facts are process-global, not per-device: the installed driver and the linked runtime each have one version for the whole process regardless of which GPU a handle is bound to. They had accreted as re-queries in each consumer -- the DeviceInfo oversized-SMEM gate re-called cuDriverGetVersion, and the cutile GDN/KDA check_support each re-implemented a cudaRuntimeGetVersion probe + version gate. Collect them into cudnn/_env.py. This mirrors the backend convention: cuDNN exposes its own versions as argument-less globals (cudnnGetVersion/cudnnGetCudartVersion), never off a handle or the DEVICEPROP descriptor. cuDNN's own version stays there (cudnn.backend_version()); _env owns only the CUDA-side versions that were otherwise duplicated. This is the environment tier below the per-ordinal DeviceInfo and the per-handle Handle -- a process-global fact placed on either would be duplicated per ordinal / per handle. - driver_version() replaces the inline cuDriverGetVersion in the DeviceInfo oversized-SMEM gate. - runtime_version() replaces the duplicated cudaRuntimeGetVersion + gate in the cutile GDN/KDA engines; the decline outcome is unchanged (an unavailable runtime declines exactly like a too-old one). ~100 ns and off the execute hot path, so the lru_cache is for a single owner returning a stable constant, not for speed (measured: raw cuda-python query ~110 ns, cache hit ~43 ns -- invisible against a build/compile path). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * frost(linear-attention): bake kernel num_sm for the build-scope device The GDN/GDN2/KDA kernels bake num_sm / max_active_clusters (the persistent grid size) as a compile-time constant. They read it from buffers.current_device_id() -- a raw cudaGetDevice that does NOT honour the build_device() scope -- while the engine (tier 1) and the tile/arch codegen (tier 2) read it through frost.device.current_device(), which does. So inside a build_device(A) scope while the process is live on B, the engine and tiles bake for A but the kernel grid bakes for B: one build, two GPUs. Point the 9 kernel sites at frost.device.current_device() so all three tiers follow the one handle-sourced scope. Same value in the common case (build device == current device); consistent under a cross-GPU build scope. _check_plan_device stays the execute-time launch guard. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * handle: fix stale create_handle docstring (no __index__) The docstring still described the handle forwarding to the backend "via __index__". That path was dropped for the explicit to_backend_handle() handoff -- Handle deliberately has no int-coercing dunder, so an unconverted Handle reaching a binding fails loudly. Correct the docstring to match. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * execute: build the per-execute ExecutionContext ~220 ns cheaper The python-engine execute path builds an ExecutionContext every call. Two stateless trims to that hot path -- no caching / invalidation surface: - ExecutionContext was a frozen dataclass; its generated __init__ sets each of the three fields through object.__setattr__ (the immutability tax), ~387 ns. A NamedTuple is equally immutable (an engine still cannot rebind ctx.stream) but constructs in ~242 ns for the same three read-only fields. Nothing treats the ctx as a dataclass (no replace()/fields()/is_dataclass), and it is never compared or hashed, so the switch is transparent to engines. - _resolve_stream re-ran `import cudnn` on every call (~69 ns for the sys.modules re-lookup); hoist it to a module-level import (already safe -- _pygraph does `from cudnn import _pybind_module` at module scope, and cudnn.get_stream is resolved at call time, not import time). _build_context: 647 -> 427 ns/execute. With the Handle stream-resolve and the removed discarded rebuild, the python-engine execute path now saves ~4.0 us vs develop. Measured on parley (host timing). Validated: frost gemm 5805 passed / 0 failed, test_la 359 / 0 (SM100). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * handle: address codex + CodeRabbit review findings - Seed Handle.stream from the backend's actual stream at create_handle (a fresh handle runs on stream 0). It was None, so a python plan resolved the stream to torch's current while a backend plan on the same handle ran on stream 0 -- divergent ordering under a non-default current stream. - destroy_handle clears Handle.backend_handle after destruction, so a double-destroy or a later set_stream cannot hand a released cudnnHandle_t back to C++. __init__ accepts a None backend handle; __repr__ renders it. - Do not cache the stream for a foreign raw-int handle: its owner may call cudnnSetStream out-of-band, so a cached "unchanged" skip could leave the wrong stream. The idempotency fast path stays only on Handle (handle.stream); the _handle_to_stream registry is removed. Foreign destroy_handle forwards to the backend (the classic destroy-destroys contract). - Gate the oversized-SMEM attribute on binding support, not just driver version: a CUDA 13.4+ driver with an older cuda-python has driver support but no CUdevice_attribute enum member, which raised AttributeError instead of the intended 0 fallback. getattr(...) is None now short-circuits too. - deserialize unwraps a Handle passed as the handle_ keyword, not just the first positional (the pybind overload names the arg handle_). - Restore create_handle/destroy_handle/get_stream/set_stream to cudnn.__all__ (they moved from pybind symbols to Python wrappers and fell out of the export list), and export Handle/DeviceInfo. - Docs: _handle.py no longer claims __index__ coercion; the design doc notes the properties.cpp binding rename so "no .cpp changes" -> "the C++ handle ABI is unchanged". test_set_stream_cache rewritten for the new semantics (Handle-only idempotency, foreign always-set, destroy clears the backend handle, double-destroy safe). Validated (SM100): set_stream 5, device_info 3, matmul/conv/rope, deviceless-AOT (create_handle + deserialize), native lowering 15, frost gemm 95, test_la 359. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * frost(gemm): pin cute.compile target to the build_device scope arch The build_device() scope already baked every device-derived frost GEMM constant (ab_stages, grid clusters, sm_count, SMEM/L2 budgets, target SM selection) for the handle's GPU, but the cute.compile TARGET still came from the ambient CUDA device: cutedsl derives it from torch.cuda.get_device_capability() when no --gpu-arch is passed. A build for handle-GPU-A while GPU-B was current therefore baked A's constants into a B-targeted kernel. _frost_compile_options() now pins `--gpu-arch sm_<scope>` into the cute.compile() options string (rendered into the content-hashed source, so a cross-arch kernel can no longer collide in the JIT cache). The pin is honoured on the public nvidia-cutlass-dsl >= 4.7 (frost's CUTEDSL_MIN_VERSION, where compile_and_cache / get_arch_enum consult compile_options.gpu_arch before the env arch) AND on internal RCs. The support probe reuses buffers.cutedsl_too_old so an internal RC's own 0.x numbering is judged new, not old (else a capable internal build would be wrongly disabled). On a public wheel below the floor the option is inert and cutedsl targets an arch captured at import time, which we can neither set nor reliably read; a handle-scoped build there fails loud rather than bake scope constants into a possibly-mis-targeted kernel (an unscoped build makes no cross-device promise and is unchanged). frost declines sub-floor wheels as too-old before reaching here, so the refusal is belt-and-suspenders. frost.device gains ambient_device() (the scope-free live device, the extracted body of current_device()) and build_scope_device() (the active scope ordinal or None, for the fail-loud guard). check_support gating and the linear-attention lazy-compile still read the ambient arch; documented as holes that only diverge on a sub-floor handle-scoped build. Verified on SM100 (cutedsl 4.7): test_matmul bf16 sweep 677 passed / 337 skipped with the pin baked in; compiling one graph as sm_100a and sm_103a both succeed while sm_90a fails in the arch-specific NVVM backend (proving the option reaches the target); the sub-floor fail-loud is unit-checked by forcing the support probe false (scoped build raises, unscoped passes). Also forced through flashinfer's unified GEMM fuzzer on the cudnn backend (this build shimmed into flashinfer's venv): 731 passed / 0 failed / 151 xfailed across bf16/fp8/nvfp4/mxfp4/mxfp8 mm+bmm. Addresses codex review (internal-RC support; import-time-arch fallback). note to self: claude::11323ca1-07bc-4fc4-8ec7-ba95d8f061d8 — "PR #612 first-class Handle + A'" cwd /home/scratch.yanxu_libs/cudnn_frontend · worktree /home/scratch.yanxu_gpu/fe-handle Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * frost(gemm): enforce the cutedsl floor in check_support, like the LA engines FrostGemmEngine.check_support (probe_supported) analysed the graph and picked a template but never checked the cutedsl version, so on a wheel below CUTEDSL_MIN_VERSION (4.7) the GEMM engine still accepted the graph and tried to compile -- unlike the linear-attention engines, which decline a too-old wheel up front. Below the floor that either faults deep in cute or, worse, runs unpinned: surfaced live driving this build through flashinfer's GEMM fuzzer on its pinned cutedsl 4.5.2 with FROST engines on, where the frost plan (no backend knobs) then tripped flashinfer's autotuner. Gate probe_supported on buffers.cutedsl_state() / cutedsl_too_old the same way, so a sub-floor wheel declines to the backend cleanly. Internal RCs pass (cutedsl_too_old judges only the public wheel). This also makes the --gpu-arch target pin from the previous commit always available by compile time, so its sub-floor fail-loud is pure belt-and-suspenders. Verified: declines frost on flashinfer's cutedsl 4.5.2 (the fuzzer config that tripped the autotuner now passes via the backend); no-op on 4.7 where probe_supported still accepts. note to self: claude::11323ca1-07bc-4fc4-8ec7-ba95d8f061d8 — "PR #612 first-class Handle + A'" cwd /home/scratch.yanxu_libs/cudnn_frontend · worktree /home/scratch.yanxu_gpu/fe-handle Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: drop the session-provenance line from the handle design doc Remove the internal note-to-self (session id + absolute local working path) from the published design doc; provenance lives in the PR and git history. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * handle: accept only cudnn.Handle on the Python API, reject raw backend ints cudnn.create_handle() is the only way to make a handle in the Python API, so every real caller already holds a first-class Handle (verified across flashinfer / sglang / the FE's own code; torch uses the C++ frontend, not this module). A raw backend int silently opted out of the Handle's device/stream tracking and device-scoped build, so keeping it as an equal citizen was a second, incompatible concept on every handle API. to_backend_handle / set_stream / get_stream / destroy_handle / execute(handle=) now require a cudnn.Handle (or None) and raise TypeError on a bare int. A framework holding a foreign cudnnHandle_t wraps it once -- cudnn.Handle(backend_handle, ordinal, stream) -- so it becomes first-class instead of a bare int. deserialize keeps its classic (handle, data) vs (data) overload by unwrapping only a Handle and leaving the blob alone. Fixes a stale handle:int annotation on execute() and a duplicate return in destroy_handle. Design doc Hard-constraint #4 updated; the raw-int unit tests now assert rejection. Verified: test_set_stream_cache + test_dispatch (64 passed), and a real create_handle -> build -> execute on GPU (rel-L2 1.6e-3, raw int rejected, destroy clears).

…kend handle, device, stream}) (NVIDIA#612) * Make cudnn.set_stream idempotent: skip the backend call when the stream is unchanged cudnnSetStream is not free. For a non-null stream, cudnn::ops::SetStream (backend src/graph/src/context.cpp) issues several CUDA driver queries on EVERY call — green-context detection (cuStreamGetGreenCtx), cudaStreamGetPriority, cudaDeviceGetStreamPriorityRange, plus a cudaEventRecord device check when the stream changes — to maintain cuDNN's internal per-priority / per-green-context stream pool. It does this even when the stream has not changed (there is no unchanged-stream early return). On Blackwell that is ~2.4us/call (measured), and a framework that calls set_stream before every execute pays it every iteration. Cache the last stream per handle in the Python layer and skip the backend call when it is unchanged, so a steady-state single-stream loop pays it once. destroy_handle forgets the entry so a reused handle address is not wrongly skipped. Assumes a handle is not driven from two streams concurrently (the normal single-stream case; a caller that does needs its own handle per stream regardless). This closes most of the per-op host-overhead gap between routing a plain GEMM through cuDNN and calling cuBLAS directly (the cudnn backend execute itself is already at cuBLAS parity). A complementary backend fix — an unchanged-stream early return in SetStream — would help all callers (including framework code that calls cudnnSetStream directly); filed separately. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Skip the discarded per-call context in graph.execute() execute() built a caller ExecutionContext (a cudnnGetStream round-trip + an object alloc) at the top of every call, but only used it when the plan was not yet built. In steady state the plan is built, so the context was computed and thrown away on every execute — a ~2.9us tax that made execute() slower than execute_plan_at_index() for the identical plan. Move the context build inside the `not _is_built` branch, where it is the only user. No API/behavior change; the JIT-build path still gets the caller's handle/stream. On SM100, 256^3 bf16 single-plan matmul this closes the whole execute()-vs-execute_plan_at_index() gap (16.3 -> 10.5 us), matching execute_plan_at_index; test_matmul_bias_relu 34 passed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Make cudnn.create_handle() return a first-class Handle The backend cudnnHandle_t binds a device and carries the stream, but on the FE side the handle was a bare int with nowhere to hang per-handle state, so that state accreted as side tables (the _handle_to_stream dict) and per-engine device queries (frost's current_device()). create_handle() now returns a cudnn.Handle owning {backend_handle, device, stream}. The naming anticipates the front end being "cudnn" and today's cuDNN becoming "cudnn backend": this object is the handle; the wrapped cudnnHandle_t is its backend_handle. - The backend handle is handed to C++ EXPLICITLY -- to_backend_handle(h) at the named handoffs (_execute*, backend_graph) and unwrap_handles(args, kwargs) at the opaque passthroughs (get_workspace_size, cuda-graph, deserialize). A reader can grep `backend_handle` and trace the plumbing top-to-bottom without an IDE. An inventory confirmed every handle->C++ handoff is in _pygraph/__init__ (the __getattr__ delegation carries no handle), so the set is closed. Handle has NO __index__: the only path to the backend is those explicit calls, and a Handle reaching a binding unconverted fails loudly. No C++ binding changes. - Dunders are minimal (no int coercion; __eq__/__hash__/__bool__ at object defaults) so the handle stays a valid dict key, stays truthy in `if handle:`, and does not raise on wrapper.py's `== 'auto'`. - stream lives on Handle.stream (absorbing the write-only _handle_to_stream cache); get_stream() reads it with no cudnnGetStream round-trip, which also removes the live query _resolve_stream did on every python-engine execute. - device is a lazy DeviceInfo (compute_capability + packed sm_version, sm_count, smem-optin, oversized-smem, L2, name) sourced from the frost driver introspector and cached per ordinal -- one device-info surface for the FE. Foreign raw-int handles (framework-created via the C API) keep working: stream falls back to the _handle_to_stream registry keyed by int(handle), and a live cudnnGetStream. Design + call-site inventory in docs/handle_first_class_design.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * frost: fix oversized-SMEM query crashing all frost GEMM on CUDA<13.4 cuda-python oversized_shared_memory_per_block() passed a bare attribute ordinal (150, CU_DEVICE_ATTRIBUTE_MAX_OVERSIZED_SHARED_MEMORY_PER_BLOCK, added in CUDA 13.4) to cuda-python's cuDeviceGetAttribute. That binding is strongly typed on the attribute -- it reads attrib.value -- so a bare int (for an enum member the installed cuda-python does not carry; 13.0.2 tops out at 148) raises "'int' object has no attribute 'value'". The query is on the tile-selection hot path (_sm_smem_budget_bytes_of), so this one call took down every frost GEMM kernel: on develop tip the frost gemm suite is 5641 failed / 163 passed, all with that single signature; the query was introduced in NVIDIA#593. Gate on the driver's CUDA version instead: the attribute arrived in 13.4, so a driver older than that has no such mode -> 0 by design (not an error), and the enum member -- which an older cuda-python lacks -- is never touched. From 13.4 the attribute is real, so query it via the proper enum and let a genuine failure raise rather than masking it as 0. This keeps "expected absence" (below 13.4) distinct from an unexpected driver error, and needs no ctypes / bare-ordinal workaround. Validated: frost gemm suite 5804 passed / 0 failed after the fix (was 5641 failed / 163 passed); test_public_execute_flavors.py 30 passed on py3.12 (fe-jax, driver 13.2 -> returns 0). Build-time + lru_cached: 0.38us first call, 50ns cached, never on the execute path. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * frost(gemm): bake the plan for the handle's device, not the ambient one The FROST GEMM engine read every device-derived kernel constant (arch, ab_stages, grid_num_clusters, sm_count, the SMEM/L2 budgets) off frost.device.current_device() -- a workaround from when the graph handed it no device. With a first-class cudnn.Handle carrying a device, source them from the handle instead, so a plan is baked for the GPU the handle is on rather than whatever CUDA device happens to be current at build time. Every one of those constants already funnels through current_device() / resolve_device(None), so rather than thread an ordinal through ~20 signatures, scope it once: build_device(ordinal) is a context manager (like torch.cuda.device()) that overrides current_device() for the build. FrostGemmEngine .build_plan wraps build_gemm_plan() in `with build_device(ctx.handle.device.ordinal)`. tile_config._sm_count() -- the one query that bypassed current_device() (it used torch.cuda.current_device) -- is re-routed through frost.device so it honours the scope too. Grep `build_device`/`_build_device` to trace it end to end. _check_plan_device is unchanged: it is the EXECUTE-time launch guard and must read the LIVE current device (where the launch is going) vs the baked device; the override is a build scope only, unset at execute. VariantPack.device likewise stays on the live device (operand views, read at execute). Validated: frost gemm test_public_execute_flavors + test_stream_respect 32 passed (no regression, SM100); test_build_device.py scopes a build to a different-arch real GPU (L40S/H100/A100) and asserts every constant reports that device -- the multi-GPU behaviour proven on parley without two Blackwells. Foreign raw-int handles (or none) carry no device -> None -> classic current-device. Follow-up: same hinge wrap for the linear-attention and sdpa frost engines (they also read buffers.current_sm()/current_device_id() at build). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * device: extract the device-fact layer to a common cudnn._device.DeviceInfo Frost had its own device introspection (frost/device.py querying the driver for compute capability, SM count, the SMEM/L2 ceilings, ...), a workaround from when the FE had no device concept to hand it. Move that layer up to a common cudnn._device.DeviceInfo: each fact is a @cached_property queried from the driver once and cached ON the instance, with one instance per CUDA ordinal (device_info(ordinal), lru-cached), so a GPU's facts are asked for once and shared. Handle.device is that object. This inverts the direction: the driver queries used to live in frost and DeviceInfo (Handle.device) delegated down to them; now the common layer owns the queries + cache, and frost/device.py's fact functions become thin shims onto device_info(ordinal). Frost's ~24-file / 65-site call surface is unchanged (still frost.device.compute_capability(ord)), but it now reads the same DeviceInfo the handle exposes -- one device concept, not a per-engine introspection stack. A later step can repoint those sites at handle.device.* directly; this ownership move is the enabling half. frost/device.py keeps only its runtime concerns (current_device / build_device / resolve_device / device_context), importing the driver machinery from cudnn._device. Validated: handle.device facts + frost shims read the same instance; cache lives on the DeviceInfo instance (test_device_info.py, 3 passed); Handle-core set_stream 4 + matmul/conv/rope 41; build_device cross-device redirect 3; frost gemm test_public_execute_flavors + test_stream_respect 32 -- all pass, no regression. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Give the passthrough methods explicit signatures; drop unwrap_handles get_workspace_size, get_workspace_size_plan_at_index and populate/update_cuda_graph were (*args, **kwargs) passthroughs, which meant the handle could be at any position -- so the handle->backend conversion had to scan every arg (unwrap_handles). The C++ overloads are just optional trailing args, so ONE explicit Python signature per method (handle=None, override_uids/shapes/strides=None) forwards to them with no duplication, and the handle is unwrapped by name via to_backend_handle(). The methods now self-document and a reader can see exactly where the backend handle is extracted. (test_api_signature_parity only covers __init__/tensor, so these are free to make explicit.) deserialize is the one genuinely ambiguous classic overload -- (data) vs (handle, data, enforce_precompiled) -- so it stays a passthrough, unwrapping just its first positional (the only place a handle can be; to_backend_handle is a no-op on the data blob). unwrap_handles is removed. Validated: test_deviceless_aot_compilation (deserialize, positional handle) + set_stream + device_info + matmul 44 passed; build_device 3; frost gemm 32. The 4 test_block_scale_quantize_dynamic_shape failures are pre-existing (the override-shape backend feature needs cuDNN >= 9.21; the local .so is 9.20) -- identical on HEAD. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * frost(linear-attention): bake gdn/gdn2/kda plans for the handle's device Like the frost GEMM engine, the GDN/GDN2/KDA engines read their one device-baked constant -- num_sm, for the split-K work distribution -- off the ambient device (multiprocessor_count(current_device_id()), a buffers probe that bypasses the build-device scope). Wrap each build_plan in `with build_device(ctx.handle.device .ordinal)` and re-route num_sm onto frost.device.current_device(), so the plan is sized for the handle's GPU rather than whatever CUDA device is current at build. The sdpa frost engines need no such change: their build bakes no device constant from current_device (arch gating lives in check_support), and the lone torch.cuda.current_device() tags a TensorDesc's operand device, which is correctly the live device (as VariantPack.device is). Validated: test_la.py 359 passed / 462 skipped / 0 failed on SM100 (frost opted in) -- no regression across the gdn/gdn2/kda forward + backward engines. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * env: single owner for CUDA driver/runtime versions (cudnn/_env.py) Version facts are process-global, not per-device: the installed driver and the linked runtime each have one version for the whole process regardless of which GPU a handle is bound to. They had accreted as re-queries in each consumer -- the DeviceInfo oversized-SMEM gate re-called cuDriverGetVersion, and the cutile GDN/KDA check_support each re-implemented a cudaRuntimeGetVersion probe + version gate. Collect them into cudnn/_env.py. This mirrors the backend convention: cuDNN exposes its own versions as argument-less globals (cudnnGetVersion/cudnnGetCudartVersion), never off a handle or the DEVICEPROP descriptor. cuDNN's own version stays there (cudnn.backend_version()); _env owns only the CUDA-side versions that were otherwise duplicated. This is the environment tier below the per-ordinal DeviceInfo and the per-handle Handle -- a process-global fact placed on either would be duplicated per ordinal / per handle. - driver_version() replaces the inline cuDriverGetVersion in the DeviceInfo oversized-SMEM gate. - runtime_version() replaces the duplicated cudaRuntimeGetVersion + gate in the cutile GDN/KDA engines; the decline outcome is unchanged (an unavailable runtime declines exactly like a too-old one). ~100 ns and off the execute hot path, so the lru_cache is for a single owner returning a stable constant, not for speed (measured: raw cuda-python query ~110 ns, cache hit ~43 ns -- invisible against a build/compile path). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * frost(linear-attention): bake kernel num_sm for the build-scope device The GDN/GDN2/KDA kernels bake num_sm / max_active_clusters (the persistent grid size) as a compile-time constant. They read it from buffers.current_device_id() -- a raw cudaGetDevice that does NOT honour the build_device() scope -- while the engine (tier 1) and the tile/arch codegen (tier 2) read it through frost.device.current_device(), which does. So inside a build_device(A) scope while the process is live on B, the engine and tiles bake for A but the kernel grid bakes for B: one build, two GPUs. Point the 9 kernel sites at frost.device.current_device() so all three tiers follow the one handle-sourced scope. Same value in the common case (build device == current device); consistent under a cross-GPU build scope. _check_plan_device stays the execute-time launch guard. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * handle: fix stale create_handle docstring (no __index__) The docstring still described the handle forwarding to the backend "via __index__". That path was dropped for the explicit to_backend_handle() handoff -- Handle deliberately has no int-coercing dunder, so an unconverted Handle reaching a binding fails loudly. Correct the docstring to match. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * execute: build the per-execute ExecutionContext ~220 ns cheaper The python-engine execute path builds an ExecutionContext every call. Two stateless trims to that hot path -- no caching / invalidation surface: - ExecutionContext was a frozen dataclass; its generated __init__ sets each of the three fields through object.__setattr__ (the immutability tax), ~387 ns. A NamedTuple is equally immutable (an engine still cannot rebind ctx.stream) but constructs in ~242 ns for the same three read-only fields. Nothing treats the ctx as a dataclass (no replace()/fields()/is_dataclass), and it is never compared or hashed, so the switch is transparent to engines. - _resolve_stream re-ran `import cudnn` on every call (~69 ns for the sys.modules re-lookup); hoist it to a module-level import (already safe -- _pygraph does `from cudnn import _pybind_module` at module scope, and cudnn.get_stream is resolved at call time, not import time). _build_context: 647 -> 427 ns/execute. With the Handle stream-resolve and the removed discarded rebuild, the python-engine execute path now saves ~4.0 us vs develop. Measured on parley (host timing). Validated: frost gemm 5805 passed / 0 failed, test_la 359 / 0 (SM100). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * handle: address codex + CodeRabbit review findings - Seed Handle.stream from the backend's actual stream at create_handle (a fresh handle runs on stream 0). It was None, so a python plan resolved the stream to torch's current while a backend plan on the same handle ran on stream 0 -- divergent ordering under a non-default current stream. - destroy_handle clears Handle.backend_handle after destruction, so a double-destroy or a later set_stream cannot hand a released cudnnHandle_t back to C++. __init__ accepts a None backend handle; __repr__ renders it. - Do not cache the stream for a foreign raw-int handle: its owner may call cudnnSetStream out-of-band, so a cached "unchanged" skip could leave the wrong stream. The idempotency fast path stays only on Handle (handle.stream); the _handle_to_stream registry is removed. Foreign destroy_handle forwards to the backend (the classic destroy-destroys contract). - Gate the oversized-SMEM attribute on binding support, not just driver version: a CUDA 13.4+ driver with an older cuda-python has driver support but no CUdevice_attribute enum member, which raised AttributeError instead of the intended 0 fallback. getattr(...) is None now short-circuits too. - deserialize unwraps a Handle passed as the handle_ keyword, not just the first positional (the pybind overload names the arg handle_). - Restore create_handle/destroy_handle/get_stream/set_stream to cudnn.__all__ (they moved from pybind symbols to Python wrappers and fell out of the export list), and export Handle/DeviceInfo. - Docs: _handle.py no longer claims __index__ coercion; the design doc notes the properties.cpp binding rename so "no .cpp changes" -> "the C++ handle ABI is unchanged". test_set_stream_cache rewritten for the new semantics (Handle-only idempotency, foreign always-set, destroy clears the backend handle, double-destroy safe). Validated (SM100): set_stream 5, device_info 3, matmul/conv/rope, deviceless-AOT (create_handle + deserialize), native lowering 15, frost gemm 95, test_la 359. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * frost(gemm): pin cute.compile target to the build_device scope arch The build_device() scope already baked every device-derived frost GEMM constant (ab_stages, grid clusters, sm_count, SMEM/L2 budgets, target SM selection) for the handle's GPU, but the cute.compile TARGET still came from the ambient CUDA device: cutedsl derives it from torch.cuda.get_device_capability() when no --gpu-arch is passed. A build for handle-GPU-A while GPU-B was current therefore baked A's constants into a B-targeted kernel. _frost_compile_options() now pins `--gpu-arch sm_<scope>` into the cute.compile() options string (rendered into the content-hashed source, so a cross-arch kernel can no longer collide in the JIT cache). The pin is honoured on the public nvidia-cutlass-dsl >= 4.7 (frost's CUTEDSL_MIN_VERSION, where compile_and_cache / get_arch_enum consult compile_options.gpu_arch before the env arch) AND on internal RCs. The support probe reuses buffers.cutedsl_too_old so an internal RC's own 0.x numbering is judged new, not old (else a capable internal build would be wrongly disabled). On a public wheel below the floor the option is inert and cutedsl targets an arch captured at import time, which we can neither set nor reliably read; a handle-scoped build there fails loud rather than bake scope constants into a possibly-mis-targeted kernel (an unscoped build makes no cross-device promise and is unchanged). frost declines sub-floor wheels as too-old before reaching here, so the refusal is belt-and-suspenders. frost.device gains ambient_device() (the scope-free live device, the extracted body of current_device()) and build_scope_device() (the active scope ordinal or None, for the fail-loud guard). check_support gating and the linear-attention lazy-compile still read the ambient arch; documented as holes that only diverge on a sub-floor handle-scoped build. Verified on SM100 (cutedsl 4.7): test_matmul bf16 sweep 677 passed / 337 skipped with the pin baked in; compiling one graph as sm_100a and sm_103a both succeed while sm_90a fails in the arch-specific NVVM backend (proving the option reaches the target); the sub-floor fail-loud is unit-checked by forcing the support probe false (scoped build raises, unscoped passes). Also forced through flashinfer's unified GEMM fuzzer on the cudnn backend (this build shimmed into flashinfer's venv): 731 passed / 0 failed / 151 xfailed across bf16/fp8/nvfp4/mxfp4/mxfp8 mm+bmm. Addresses codex review (internal-RC support; import-time-arch fallback). note to self: claude::11323ca1-07bc-4fc4-8ec7-ba95d8f061d8 — "PR NVIDIA#612 first-class Handle + A'" cwd /home/scratch.yanxu_libs/cudnn_frontend · worktree /home/scratch.yanxu_gpu/fe-handle Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * frost(gemm): enforce the cutedsl floor in check_support, like the LA engines FrostGemmEngine.check_support (probe_supported) analysed the graph and picked a template but never checked the cutedsl version, so on a wheel below CUTEDSL_MIN_VERSION (4.7) the GEMM engine still accepted the graph and tried to compile -- unlike the linear-attention engines, which decline a too-old wheel up front. Below the floor that either faults deep in cute or, worse, runs unpinned: surfaced live driving this build through flashinfer's GEMM fuzzer on its pinned cutedsl 4.5.2 with FROST engines on, where the frost plan (no backend knobs) then tripped flashinfer's autotuner. Gate probe_supported on buffers.cutedsl_state() / cutedsl_too_old the same way, so a sub-floor wheel declines to the backend cleanly. Internal RCs pass (cutedsl_too_old judges only the public wheel). This also makes the --gpu-arch target pin from the previous commit always available by compile time, so its sub-floor fail-loud is pure belt-and-suspenders. Verified: declines frost on flashinfer's cutedsl 4.5.2 (the fuzzer config that tripped the autotuner now passes via the backend); no-op on 4.7 where probe_supported still accepts. note to self: claude::11323ca1-07bc-4fc4-8ec7-ba95d8f061d8 — "PR NVIDIA#612 first-class Handle + A'" cwd /home/scratch.yanxu_libs/cudnn_frontend · worktree /home/scratch.yanxu_gpu/fe-handle Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: drop the session-provenance line from the handle design doc Remove the internal note-to-self (session id + absolute local working path) from the published design doc; provenance lives in the PR and git history. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * handle: accept only cudnn.Handle on the Python API, reject raw backend ints cudnn.create_handle() is the only way to make a handle in the Python API, so every real caller already holds a first-class Handle (verified across flashinfer / sglang / the FE's own code; torch uses the C++ frontend, not this module). A raw backend int silently opted out of the Handle's device/stream tracking and device-scoped build, so keeping it as an equal citizen was a second, incompatible concept on every handle API. to_backend_handle / set_stream / get_stream / destroy_handle / execute(handle=) now require a cudnn.Handle (or None) and raise TypeError on a bare int. A framework holding a foreign cudnnHandle_t wraps it once -- cudnn.Handle(backend_handle, ordinal, stream) -- so it becomes first-class instead of a bare int. deserialize keeps its classic (handle, data) vs (data) overload by unwrapping only a Handle and leaving the blob alone. Fixes a stale handle:int annotation on execute() and a duplicate return in destroy_handle. Design doc Hard-constraint NVIDIA#4 updated; the raw-int unit tests now assert rejection. Verified: test_set_stream_cache + test_dispatch (64 passed), and a real create_handle -> build -> execute on GPU (rel-L2 1.6e-3, raw int rejected, destroy clears).
