SDPA: drop the legacy standalone d=256 fwd/bwd stacks; port SM80 forward to the SdpaFwdDsl adapter path - #682
Conversation
- delete fmha_forward_sm100_d256.py and the 3-kernel backward family
(fmha_backward_sm100_2kernel.py, fmha_dq_d256_sm100.py, fmha_dkdv_d256_sm100.py)
- remove SdpafwdSm100D256 / SdpabwdSm100D256 + their wrappers from
sdpa/{fwd,bwd}/api.py and every lazy-export map
- experimental torch op: drop the cudnn::sdpa_{fwd,bwd}_d256 custom ops and
the pre-9.23-backend OSS routing; d=256 always takes the backend graph path
- docs (Attention.md, llms.txt, fe-oss-apis pages) and tests updated; the op
tests now skip d=256 on backends < 9.23 instead of exercising the OSS route
The graph-dispatched sdpa_fwd_prefill_sm100_d256 FROST engine is unaffected
and remains the OSS forward implementation for this cell. The standalone OSS
SM100 backward (never graph-reachable) goes away until sdpa/bwd grows an
SM100 ENGINE_SPECS row.

SM80 now follows the SM100/SM120 lowering shape exactly: one adapter class (SdpaFwdDslSm80 in api_dsl.py) implementing the SdpaFwdDsl contract, lowered through lower_dsl_prefill; fwd/api.py is deleted. - SdpaFwdDslSm80: descriptor-level check_support (flavor pick, mask/scheduler resolution, knob mapping), no-op compile (the kernels self-cache), and an execute that binds the caller's O/LSE/score buffers directly - kernels gain optional out_o/out_lse/out_score_* binding; outputs a feature path never writes (seq_len_q trim, zero-length padded batches, block-masked rows) keep their zero-init semantics via a conditional zero-fill - the engine path drops its per-execute copy-backs; dense GQA keeps the adapter-side head expansion until the kernels' native dense-GQA path is qualified (see graph_analyzer.expand_gqa_heads) - _sm80_spec lowers via partial(lower_dsl_prefill, api_type=_SM80), declares dense_seq_q_trim (the kernels are plumbed) and lse_optional - lower_dsl_prefill forwards SM80 feature operands (bias/alibi/block_mask/ score stats) only to adapters declaring the keywords - _torch_stream_context gains the NGC ExternalStream(0/1/2) silent-no-op workaround previously present only in the deleted api.py copy - sdpa_fwd_wrapper_sm80 keeps its public signature (dense via the adapter, packed THD via the kernel varlen path); SdpafwdSm80 is replaced by SdpaFwdDslSm80 (experimental API, tests updated) - AGENTS.md Rule-3 known-violation list updated: the ragged cache-key max() sites died with the legacy wrappers Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Line 17: Add the SDPA export symbols, including SdpaFwdDslSm80 and the other
three family exports, to _LAZY_OPTIONAL_IMPORTS in the cudnn package initializer
so cudnn.<name> resolves them without AttributeError; preserve their existing
lazy module and symbol mappings.
In `@python/cudnn/sdpa/fwd/api_dsl.py`:
- Around line 2973-2986: Update the dense-tensor validation in
SdpaFwdDslSm80.check_support to call dense_layout_ok for Q, K, V, and O,
matching the layout gate used by SdpaFwdDslSm100.check_support and
SdpaFwdDslSm120.check_support. Reject broadcast, overlapping, or
non-head-dim-contiguous layouts before execution, while leaving graph-path
handling unchanged.
- Around line 3228-3232: Update the operand preparation in SdpaFwdDsl to pass
seq_kv_lens and seq_q_lens through _checked_seq_lens instead of calling
reshape(-1), preserving None handling and the expected device/context arguments.
Route sinks through _checked_sinks_1d rather than sinks.reshape(-1), so dtype,
element count, and contiguity are validated before binding the operands.
- Around line 3292-3302: Update the mask-selection logic around mask_token, swa,
and right_bound to reject causal_bottom_right=True when is_causal is false and
wl is negative, raising the same typed ValueError used by
SdpaFwdDslSm80.check_support. Ensure this guard runs before mask_token can
become "none", keeping both sdpa_fwd_wrapper_sm80 paths consistent.
In `@python/cudnn/sdpa/fwd/engines.py`:
- Around line 591-594: Update the comment adjacent to dense_seq_q_trim to state
that padded rows are explicitly written by the kernel: O is forced to zero and
LSE is set to negative infinity when seq_len_q[b] is exceeded. Remove the claim
that either value relies on zero-initialized output.
- Around line 881-892: Update the score-stat operand handling in the
execution-kwargs assembly to reject unresolved declared outputs instead of
passing None. For binding.score_max and binding.score_sum_exp, use
presence-checked resolution like ga.resolve_feature_operands, or raise an error
when either declared operand is absent from resolved, ensuring
SdpaFwdDslSm80.execute receives both tensors and preserves the score-stat
epilogue.
In `@python/cudnn/sdpa/fwd/kernels/prefill_f16_sm80.py`:
- Around line 2251-2281: Update _needs_zero_init in both prefill_f16_sm80.py
lines 2251-2281 and prefill_d256_f16_sm80.py lines 2235-2265 to include the
partial-head-dimension condition (not is_even_k). This ensures caller-provided
out_o, LSE, and score-stat buffers are zeroed when the STG epilogue skips O
columns beyond D; apply the same predicate in both kernels.

…path Same treatment as the forward row (previous commit): graphs requesting ALiBi or block_mask decline at the sdpa_bwd_sm80 capability row and are served by the cuDNN backend. dBias (and bias, sinks/dSink, RoPE, deterministic, THD) remain fully served — the bprop kernel's dbias footprint is byte-unchanged. Removed end to end (-95 kernel lines, -~60 adapter/wrapper lines): - capability row: alibi/block_mask flags (the Capabilities fields stay — they are the decline gates mismatch() compares every graph against) - lower_sm80_bwd binding: the block_mask operand - SdpabwdSm80.execute / sdpa_bwd_wrapper_sm80 / _thd_backward / the d64 fast-path gate: the corresponding keywords, slopes setup, cache-key entries - bprop_f16_sm80.py: host params, compile-key flags, fake tensors, and every const_expr-gated device block (alibi S-injection, block-mask P-multiply); all pure block deletions, no collapse rewrites needed Re-validated on A100 (parley): fe_api sm80 fwd+bwd all levels 105/105; graph-path e2e + the alibi negative-routing check pass.

Reviewed with a focus on the direct output-binding correctness (dirty caller buffers vs. the old fresh-torch.zeros guarantee) — it holds up everywhere I could attack it: empty-window SWA/causal-BR rows, uneven tails, padded-Q trim, zero-length KV batches, block-masked tiles, and the (B,H,S,1) stats squeeze (always a valid view; non-contiguous #304-randomized stats correctly fall back to alloc + strided copy_). The ExternalStream(0/1/2) guard migration preserves the original fix's semantics and usefully extends it to the THD paths, and the feature-drop commits keep the capability gates while removing code cleanly — I found no dangling references.
Two inline comments: the per-execute-allocation inventory still behind scratch_workspace_bytes() == 0 (I'll pick those up when I rebase my #514 carving branch onto this), and a doc nit on _needs_zero_init. One PR-body suggestion: worth stating the expected mhas FROST-routing drop (ALiBi / block_mask / score-stat graphs now serve native) so the next person diffing routing stats knows it's intentional.
Imports the SM80 frontend-integration test (registration, probe, graph-level fwd/bwd end-to-end) from the internal suite, with one fix: _build_fwd_graph now declares O's dim/stride like the SM100 sibling test does. Without the declaration, backend layout inference declares O BHSD-contiguous while the e2e tests read their buffer through BSHD-physical torch strides. A variant-pack entry is raw storage per the IR descriptor (lower_dsl_prefill's _ir_view; the C++ backend only ever sees raw pointers), so any contract-honoring engine writes the declared layout and the read scrambles — pinning the NATIVE eng8 plan on the undeclared graph fails identically (97.8% mismatch) on an A100. The old standalone-api.py SM80 lowering honored torch strides instead, masking the under-declaration; this PR's adapter follows the contract. With the declaration the file passes 8/8 on A100-PCIE-40GB. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Addresses egilliam-nv's PR-682 review:
- prefill_{f16,d256_f16}_sm80.py: remove the vestigial block_on = True and
its if-guards outright (the block_mask removal had kept them to avoid
re-indenting the traced body). This also removes the QK sites' orphaned
else branches (the fully-masked-block dead path) — the last block_mask
remnant in the mainloop.
- sdpa/{fwd,bwd}/engines.py: drop the 'ALiBi / block_mask ... deliberately
NOT served' annotations from the _sm80_spec rows — capability rows stay
comment-free like every other engine; the public wrapper/adapter
docstrings keep the user-facing unsupported-features note.
Re-validated on A100 (parley): fe_api sm80 fwd+bwd all levels + the SM80
integration suite — 113/113 passed.

The V tile loads passed the shared valid_cols (= the runtime Q/K head dim) to load_tile_2d, zero-filling V columns [D, d_v) whenever a graph declared d_qk < d_v inside a flavor envelope (e.g. 96/128 on llama) — so O's tail columns computed as P*0 and returned zeros where the reference has real values. The O-store epilogue's matching column trim on d_runtime hid the same range. Pre-existing bug (the old zeros-allocated output made it look intentional); surfaced by review on the out-binding path. - V loads now use valid_cols=None: V is always exactly the compile-time d_v wide (asserted; the adapter pads it up), so no column predication applies. - The O store now trims rows only (sq_store_bound); columns are always the full d_v (padded-V columns compute to exact zero, so storing them is correct in the uniform-envelope case too). - The out_* zero-fill comment is reworded as DEFENSIVE per review: the dense epilogue stores every in-bounds row unconditionally, so nothing relies on zero-init; the gate stays as insurance. The bwd kernel is unaffected (it host-pads Q/K/V rather than predicating loads). Verified on A100: (d_qk=96, d_v=128) now matches torch on the full width (was: cols [96,128) all-zero, ref absmax 3.06); fe_api sm80 fwd+bwd all levels + the SM80 integration suite: 113/113.

…tic wrappers
Review batch for PR-682, shaped by the target design (one adapter layer,
shared validation vocabulary, one future arch-agnostic entry point):
- SdpaFwdDslSm80.check_support gains the same dense_layout_ok stride gate as
the SM100/SM120 adapters (broadcast / overlapping / non-innermost-D
layouts decline with a typed error instead of silently normalizing wrong)
- execute() binds seq lens and sinks through the shared _checked_seq_lens /
_checked_sinks_1d validators (an int64 caller tensor now fails fast
instead of triggering a hidden cast kernel per execute)
- the wrapper's THD branch rejects causal_bottom_right without an anchor
with the same ValueError the dense check_support raises (was a kernel
AssertionError)
- comment/doc fixes: the dense padded-Q trim writes O := 0 / LSE := -inf
explicitly (never relied on zero-init); the bwd wrapper documents its
optional dsink_tensor output
cudnn.sdpa no longer re-exports the per-arch APIs: that level is reserved
for the coming arch-agnostic sdpa_{fwd,bwd}_wrapper entry points, and the
per-arch adapters/wrappers — the pinning tier — are imported from
cudnn.sdpa.fwd / cudnn.sdpa.bwd directly (tests and the sm120 doc example,
which had been referencing a never-exported name, updated).
A100 (parley): fe_api sm80 fwd+bwd all levels + SM80 integration: 113/113.

SM80 now follows the SM120 backward lowering shape exactly (design doc S5 / F-3, the backward analogue of NVIDIA#682): one adapter class (SdpaBwdDslSm80 in api_dsl.py) implementing the SdpaBwdDsl contract, lowered through the shared lower_dsl_bwd; bwd/api.py is deleted. - SdpaBwdDslSm80: descriptor-level check_support (flavor pick, mask resolution, dense_flex + strided-stats acceptance), no-op compile (the kernels self-cache until the TemplateParams conversion), execute with the full issue NVIDIA#514 carving (pad/gather staging, strided-stats gather, kernel workspace tail) and the d64 fast-path routing. SM80-only operands (bias -> dBias, RoPE) are extra optional keywords, as the contract permits. - lower_dsl_bwd is parameterized by api_type (mirrors lower_dsl_prefill) and now drives both backward cells; SM80-only constructor facts and execute operands forward via signature introspection, so the SM120 adapter is untouched. lower_sm80_bwd (the plan-time APIBase half-way house) is gone. - sdpa_bwd_wrapper_sm80 keeps its public signature (dense via the adapter, packed THD via the kernel varlen path); SdpabwdSm80 is replaced by SdpaBwdDslSm80 (experimental API, exports/tests updated). - The SM80 suites declare their backward output strides explicitly: the shared lowering honors DECLARED port geometry (IR-inferred output strides are provisional row-major -- the layout invariant), where the old adapter leniently trusted caller tensor metadata. Verified on A100: SM80 suites all levels 118 passed; test_mhas_v2 fwd+bwd L0 = 421/0 at 100% FROST routing (fwd 623, bwd 176) through the ported path.
