_runuses a singleSfor both query and key lengths, so this test runsS_q == S_kv == 256. In_ref, bottom-right computeslim = i + (s_kv - s_q), which reduces tolim = i— exactly the top-left case. Thecausal_brparameter therefore exercises the same mask ascausal.
test_mxfp8_masksdocuments this same limitation in a comment at Line 232. The new D192/D128 test inherits it without the note.Bottom-right alignment is listed as supported behavior for this engine, so at least one case with
S_q != S_kvwould confirm the diagonal offset. That requires_runto accept separate query and key lengths.💡 Minimum improvement without changing `_run`

CFG.TILE_Kinstead of the tensor's own D extent.Every stride term uses
CFG.TILE_Kwhere the K tensor's own innermost extent would be the direct source. The layout is therefore correct only whenk_tensor.shape[3] == CFG.TILE_Kand the tensor is compact in D.
compile()builds the fake K tensor withmake_fake_compact_tensoratD = CFG.TILE_K, so compile-time strides are pinned to that assumption. The engine capability row also pinsD_QK == 192.

2222-2223: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 TrivialConsider bounding the compiled-kernel cache.
@lru_cache(maxsize=None)never evicts. Each entry holds a compiled CUDA module. The key space is(b, qh, kh, sq, skv, has_lse), so a long-running process that serves many distinct shapes accumulates modules for the lifetime of the process.This matches the pattern in the sibling SM100 kernels, so a change here should be made across the family rather than in this file alone. If shape diversity is bounded in practice, record that assumption in the docstring.

- Around line 1050-1057: Update the SM100 FP8 D192 row created by
_sm100_fp8_spec to reject any descale_s/scale_s combination other than the exact
unit pair, ensuring unsupported S-scale values cannot be silently ignored during
FP8 P quantization; alternatively, forward both operands through execution if
that path already supports them.
In `@python/cudnn/sdpa/fwd/kernels/prefill_d192_d128_fp8_sm100.py`:
- Line 1854: Rename the unused loop variable in the kv_loop range to _kv_loop,
preserving the existing bounds, step, and loop behavior.
In `@test/python/sdpa/frost/test_sdpa_fwd_fp8_sm100.py`:
- Around line 244-264: Update _check to accept d_qk and widen the e5m2 tolerance
to 8e-2 when d_qk exceeds 128, while retaining the existing tolerance for other
cases. Pass d_qk=192 from each new D192 test, including
test_fp8_d192_d128_output_dtypes and the other two D192 tests.
In `@test/python/sdpa/frost/test_sdpa_graph_analyzer.py`:
- Around line 169-170: Add requires_dsl to the module-level pytestmark in
test_sdpa_graph_analyzer.py so tests using engines.mismatch, including
test_d192_fp8_sink_dtype_gate, are skipped when the DSL dependency is

SdpaGraphFacts records descale_s and scale_s, but the engine does not validate or forward them. Non-unit values are silently ignored, producing incorrect FP8 P quantization. Gate this row to the exact unit pair, or plumb both operands through execution.

…via the write_thd_meta envelope design (issue #552) (#648) * frost(sdpa): THD/varlen on the FP8/MXFP8 SM100/SM107 forward engines via the write_thd_meta envelope design (issue #552) Port the device-built-metadata + plan-time-envelope THD design (PRs #606/#608) into the per-tensor FP8 SM100 kernel, its SM107 (Rubin) sibling (hunk-symmetric), and the block-scale MXFP8 SM100 kernel — the port #622 prescribed when it removed the legacy leg: - Kernels: dynamic packed token extents (cute.sym_int; plan-time-only compile keys), the shared build_thd_meta_o_descs_kernel setup launch (metadata + per -batch O TMA descriptors built device-side, no length ever reaches the host), the plan-time envelope grid with the batch == n_batch dead-unit sentinel (O-store skip; LSE/amax_o predicated on the per-sequence Q length from the device metadata), and ragged Stats in the caller's declared layout (token-major TH1 rank-2 or head-major rank-3, static-rank dispatch). - MXFP8 THD scale factors travel PACKED per-sequence-TILE-padded ([1, H, Σ_b ceil(S_b/128), SF_SMEM] tile sequences in cu_seqlens order, matching the tile base the kernel derives via _thd_sf_tile_bases). The packed tile extent is a runtime value that must come without a device read (Rule 3), so it derives from the SF buffer's byte size — THD SF buffers are exactly the packed layout (its head stride could address nothing else); the SF descriptors use B=1 + dynamic tile extents. - Adapter: factor the SM100 THD packing into _thd_pack (mirrors the SM120 class): metadata/O-desc scratch, capacity token floors, zero-capacity clamps, envelope units — used by the f16 _execute_thd and the new FP8/MXFP8 THD branches. FP8/MXFP8 serve the packed contract only (_thd_check_strides_packed; no stride keys in _thd_compile_kwargs). No Amax_S, no descale_s/scale_s — dropped on these kernels (#602/#619); the amax_o protocol (in-kernel atomicMax, device-side scale_o divide) is unchanged under THD. - Engines: the SM100 FP8/MXFP8 rows declare thd=True + cu_seq_len=True; the arch RANGE (sm 100..119) already routes cc10.7 through the SM107 sibling. - pygraph: sdpa_mxfp8 gains trailing use_padding_mask / seq_len_q / seq_len_kv / cu_seq_len_q / cu_seq_len_kv kwargs (sdpa_fp8 already had them) — the THD length carriers, and dense mxfp8 + KV padding becomes constructible for the first time (tested; stats off — padded_stats is not declared). - Tests: THD self-attention (masks x e4m3/e5m2), cross-attention + GQA, causal+sink, THD+ragged-TH1-stats, and cu_seq_len cases for both fp8 and mxfp8; dense mxfp8 KV-padding; sm107 module-level THD-leg load checks. Verified on B200 (backend 9.23.01): test/python/sdpa/frost 669 passed, 5 failed — all five are cu_seq_len graphs hitting the pre-existing native-lowering version gate (fp8-family cu_seq_len needs the unified node, cuDNN >= 9.24/9.25; develop's own f16 cu tests fail identically on this backend and are green on CI's 9.26). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * frost(sdpa): PR #648 review fixes — sdpa_mxfp8 cu_seq_len docstring; E741 renames in the new mxfp8 tests - sdpa_mxfp8 docstring: document cu_seq_len_q / cu_seq_len_kv (prefix-sum semantics, mutual exclusion with seq_len_*, cuDNN 9.24+), matching the sdpa / sdpa_fp8 documentation. - test_sdpa_fwd_mxfp8_sm100.py: rename the six new call sites' O locals to o_out/o_ref (Ruff E741); pre-existing sites unchanged. Not-applicable findings, verified: the dead-unit TMA-load concern is unreachable (THD compiles always carry MASK_PADDED — _mask_flags_from forces it for thd_varlen and _validate_knobs raises otherwise — so the loader's masked-bounds branch resolves the dead unit's empty KV range from the device metadata); test_fp8_thd_leg_loads is already L0 via the file's module-level pytestmark. Validated against the LATEST 9.26 backend (9.26.0.33, headers + libs): fp8/mxfp8/sm107 suites 80 passed (including both cu_seq_len tests the local 9.23 backend gates), f16 THD suite 193 passed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * frost(sdpa): fix mhas fp8/mxfp8 ragged NaNs — clamp K/V TMA past the packed total; dead-row O := 0 on zero-length KV Two bugs surfaced by the frost:rel:sdpa:sm100 CI mhas fp8 ragged sweeps (gitlab job 404201758, 16 failures): 1. NaN-poisoned capacity tails: test_mhas_v2 NaN-fills the ragged capacity tail past the packed total, and the last sequence's KV envelope tile loads step into it. The padding mask kills those columns in S (NaN-safe select), but BMM2 still computes P(0) . V(NaN) = NaN. Fix: the THD setup kernel (build_thd_meta_o_kv_descs_kernel) now also emits runtime K/V TMA descriptors with GLOBAL_DIM clamped to the device-side packed total cu_k[B] — tail loads land as TMA OOB zero-fill, zero host reads. The fp8/mxfp8 mainloops read them from two extra o_desc_words slots. 2. Zero-length KV sequences (e.g. seq_len_kv=[0, 83, 77]): an empty mainloop never writes the O TMEM, and the epilogue's `o_chunk * inv_sum(=0)` cannot zero the garbage when it happens to be NaN (uninitialized TMEM on the sequence's first tile). Port the f16 dead-row contract (O := 0, LSE := -inf) into the fp8 sm100/sm107 and mxfp8 epilogues: `row_dead = total_sum <= 0` hoisted above the sink branch, and the stored O elements (plus amax_o inputs) selected to 0 explicitly. Tests: frost fp8/mxfp8 suites get NaN-poisoned capacity tails in _dense_buf (mhas parity) and new zero-length-KV THD regression tests; mhas fp8 fwd+bwd ragged L0 sweeps now 46/46 x3 runs, frost fp8/mxfp8/split-kv/sm107 suites 166/166 on cuDNN 9.26.

Summary
This PR adds a native SM100/Blackwell FROST DSL block-scale MXFP8 SDPA
forward kernel for the asymmetric prefill shape:
D_QK = 192D_V = 128sliding-window attention, GQA, sinks, optional statistics, and Amax_O
The implementation adds an exact
192/128MXFP8 flavor and engine. Existing128/128MXFP8 routing and kernels are unchanged.This is a stacked PR based on the current head of #594. #594 must merge
first. After #594 merges, this branch will be rebased onto
developand CIwill be rerun before this PR is merged.
Why
The existing SM100 MXFP8 FROST path supports only
D_QK=D_V=128. The newspecialization extends block-scaled attention to the asymmetric
192/128shape used by prefill workloads without changing sibling kernel routes.
For the primary E4M3-input/BF16-output top-left causal 8K workload, the first
correct native D192/D128 MXFP8 implementation took
9.038960 ms; the finalkernel takes
5.475392 msusing the same base-clock NCU method, a39.42%duration reduction.
