Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added mixed cluster-group support for supported GPUs and GEMM workloads.
    • Kernels can select preferred or fallback cluster configurations at runtime for improved launch compatibility.
    • Support extends across dense, block-scale, MoE, and fused GEMM operations.
    • Added runtime handling for cluster-dependent tiling, data movement, and epilogue calculations.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Automatically disables fallback configurations when hardware, template, or rasterization constraints prevent safe use.
    • Preserves correct numerical behavior across supported cluster configurations.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds mixed-CGA support to Frost GEMM compilation and kernel templates. The compiler selects preferred and fallback clusters, emits runtime constants, and propagates fallback configuration through dense, block-scale, MoE, and JIT paths. Tests cover supported and rejected configurations.

Changes

Mixed-CGA execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Compiler selection, rendering, and registry contracts
python/cudnn/gemm/frost/compiler.py, python/cudnn/gemm/frost/kernel_registry.py
The compiler derives eligible fallback clusters, emits runtime cluster constants, forces identity N-swizzling when required, and propagates fallback shapes. Template registrations now default to multi-GEMM support, with explicit exclusions for unsupported templates.
SM100 dense templates
python/cudnn/gemm/frost/kernel_templates/sm100_matmul_*, python/cudnn/gemm/frost/kernel_templates/sm100_matmul_mainloop_*
Dense and mainloop kernels select active cluster dimensions and multicast patterns at runtime. Tile traversal, TMA coordinates, epilogue coordinates, and host launches support preferred-only or preferred-plus-fallback clusters.
SM100 block-scale templates
python/cudnn/gemm/frost/kernel_templates/sm100_block_scale_matmul_*
Block-scale kernels use active cluster dimensions for multicast, tile traversal, scale coordinates, epilogue coordinates, and conditional fallback-aware launches.
SM103 and SM107 block-scale templates
python/cudnn/gemm/frost/kernel_templates/sm103_block_scale_matmul_*, python/cudnn/gemm/frost/kernel_templates/sm107_block_scale_matmul_*
SM103 and SM107 kernels derive runtime cluster-dependent masks, coordinates, tile extents, arrival patterns, and launch parameters from the selected cluster shape.
Validation and generated artifact access
test/python/gemm/frost/test_block_scale_matmul.py, test/python/gemm/frost/gemm_test_utils.py
Tests cover numerical mixed-CGA execution, fallback derivation, minimal clusters, unsupported configurations, architecture gating, environment opt-out, generated source, and Plan.generated_path.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90 minutes

Inline comments:
In
`@python/cudnn/gemm/frost/kernel_templates/sm100_block_scale_matmul_1ctamma_static.py`:
- Around line 297-301: Verify the tile mapping in the static 1-CTA template
against the _l2_swizzle_tile computation and ensure preferred and fallback
cluster dimensions index the same grid space. Update cgrp_tile_m_cur and
cgrp_tile_n_cur or the surrounding mapping so each output tile remains covered
exactly once under both cluster shapes.

In
`@python/cudnn/gemm/frost/kernel_templates/sm100_block_scale_matmul_2ctamma_static.py`:
- Around line 304-309: Update the static 2-CTA template’s fallback-shape
handling to enforce the same constraints as the non-static template: ensure the
runtime cluster M extent used by ab_empty_count is compatible with cta_group
pairing, and validate that the M extent is even before relying on m_rank % 2
pairing. Preserve exact single-coverage tiling for valid shapes and reject or
route invalid odd-M fallback shapes consistently with the existing non-static
implementation.

In
`@python/cudnn/gemm/frost/kernel_templates/sm103_block_scale_matmul_1ctamma.py`:
- Around line 389-393: Update the tile-to-cluster mapping around cta_tile_mnk,
_auto_swizzle_w, and cgrp_tile_m_cur/cgrp_tile_n_cur to use the swizzle width
and grid extent for the active cluster shape, including fallback clusters.
Remove the identity-map assumption and verify that the resulting mapping
preserves exactly-once coverage of every output tile.

In
`@python/cudnn/gemm/frost/kernel_templates/sm103_block_scale_matmul_2ctamma.py`:
- Around line 403-408: Validate the fallback cluster-shape assumptions in this
2-CTA template: ensure runtime cluster_m is compatible with ab_empty_count and
m_rank % 2 pairing, while swizzle_w and tile ownership use the active cluster_n
and matching cluster shape. Update the fallback handling around ab_empty_count,
swizzle_w, and cgrp_tile_m_cur/cgrp_tile_n_cur so unsupported shapes are
rejected or handled consistently with the other 2-CTA templates.

In `@test/python/gemm/frost/test_block_scale_matmul.py`:
- Around line 2017-2041: Mark test_sm107_block_scale_flexible_cga with an
appropriate pytest test-level marker, using L1 or higher because it executes 12
large GPU cases, so it is included in level-based selection without entering the
default L0 run.

driver-version check in the relevant device attribute flow, so device validation
occurs before accessing the driver and before any early return for drivers older
than 13.4. Preserve the existing version gate and attribute lookup after the
handle is validated.
