Affected area

Benchmarks or performance; documentation or samples.

Summary

Why

The goal is to measure cuDNN kernel speedups against the actual vanilla Torch/FLA routes in representative model-shaped work, without multiplying isolated microbenchmark gains or calling a depth-reduced proxy full-model throughput. Smoke mode is validation-only; only full-B200 formal mode is eligible for performance headlines or history comparison.

Related issues

Built on merged #682, #685, and #686. Related to #609, #596, and #335.

API and compatibility impact

None for the cuDNN runtime API. New benchmark entry points:

python benchmark/e2e/Qwen3.8/run_matrix.py --mode smoke
python benchmark/e2e/Qwen3.8/run_matrix.py --mode formal
python benchmark/e2e/Qwen-Image/run_bf16.py --mode smoke
python benchmark/e2e/Qwen-Image/run_bf16.py --mode formal

Qwen3.8 formal mode requires a full 148-SM NVIDIA B200, FLA 0.5.2, and cuDNN backend >= 9.23. Its vanilla d256 GQA arm must select PyTorch FlashAttention, while the FE arm must enter the public cuDNN backend graph. The runner also requires exact successful public GDN/MLP native-route counts.

Qwen-Image pins its model config and Diffusers implementation. Its official joint sequence is [text, image]: every query can see every valid text token and every image token, and only padded text key columns are masked. Batch-1 trimmed inference uses the dense no-mask path. For unequal right-padded prompts, the adapter permutes Q/K/V to [image, text], represents the now-suffix padding with seq_len_kv, and restores output order; masks with arbitrary holes fail closed.

Testing

  • python3 -m unittest discover -s benchmark/e2e/tests -v: 14 passed.
  • py_compile for both runners/model adapters and tests, Black check, pre-commit, and git diff --check: passed.
  • Qwen3.8 B200 smoke and formal runs passed finite/correctness, artifact, and strict GDN/MLP/SDPA route gates.
  • Qwen-Image B200 smoke and formal runs passed forced-Flash/direct-cuDNN route gates, full-output correctness, and the focused B=2 unequal-text mask parity gate.

Qwen3.8 formal result

Four-layer Qwen3.8-27B shape proxy, BF16 fwd+CE+bwd, B=4, S=2048, 40 Williams-balanced batches x 3 repeats:

  • 000 stock FLA/Torch: 75.427 ms p50.
  • 111 all accelerated: 62.544 ms p50.
  • Direct paired 111/000: 0.82759, 17.24% lower / 1.208x, 40/40 wins.
  • Conditional ratios: GDN 0.86005, MLP 0.96876, d256 attention 0.98280.
  • Raw artifact SHA-256: 65654ec5c55f7e900f1351c60d8f835b2d7e427613b8d1df18dd7f3d9b1b2757.

This is a single-job four-layer proxy result, not full 64-layer Qwen throughput. The artifact records its runtime worktree as dirty, while its per-file hashes match the committed benchmark and cuDNN sources exactly.

Qwen-Image BF16 formal result

Four of 60 blocks, B=1, 4096 image + 512 text tokens, H=3072, 24x128 heads, FFN=12288, 40 balanced batches x 3 repeats, transformer forward only:

  • Forced PyTorch FlashAttention: 9.943 ms p50.
  • Direct FE/cuDNN backend: 7.883 ms p50.
  • Paired ratio: 0.79640, 20.36% lower / 1.256x, 40/40 wins.
  • Full four-block output relative L2: 0.141%; focused B=2 unequal-text mask relative L2: 0.300%.
  • Raw artifact SHA-256: 288ce0415c0cfd6564fde99debe0273a2304c07e7810547bd5da8b25cda0fbba.

This is a controlled cuDNN-off/on comparison: the off arm forces PyTorch FlashAttention, while the on arm uses direct FE/cuDNN. The unforced public Torch call already selects CUDNN_ATTENTION for this d128 B200 shape, so stock Torch users already receive this cuDNN benefit by default; the result does not claim an additional 1.256x from bypassing Torch dispatch. It uses random weights and precomputed text embeddings and excludes checkpoint loading, text encoding, VAE, scheduler work, and the full denoising loop; it is not image-quality evidence. The artifact records its runtime worktree as dirty, while its per-file hashes match the committed benchmark and cuDNN sources exactly.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5503a

The PR adds reproducible benchmark runners and artifact reporting, but formal runs may fail on older PyTorch versions, completed results may be lost when provenance collection fails, reports may expose local filesystem paths, and malformed inputs may produce unclear validation errors. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up on these bounded tooling risks.

299-330: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Pass the model-specific report strings in instead of hardcoding them here.

The module docstring states this file is reusable by other end-to-end model benchmarks. The renderer hardcodes Qwen-specific presentation: the title on line 300, the backend labels on lines 327-329 and 349-351, and the formal M=8192 literal on line 315.

The M=8192 literal is the higher-risk item. It duplicates MODE_DEFAULTS["formal"] (seq=2048, bs=4) from benchmark/e2e/Qwen3.8/run_matrix.py line 103. If a future change alters the formal seq or bs, every generated smoke report states a wrong formal baseline, and nothing fails.

Derive the formal token count from the payload, or accept it as a parameter.

♻️ Proposed change to remove the duplicated constant

Publish the formal token count in the config written by the runner, then read it here:

-                f"Smoke uses M=bs*seq={config['bs'] * config['seq']} instead of formal M=8192, so fixed launch/dispatch overheads and small-M effects dominate.",
+                f"Smoke uses M=bs*seq={config['bs'] * config['seq']} instead of formal M={config['formal_tokens']}, "
+                "so fixed launch/dispatch overheads and small-M effects dominate.",

In benchmark/e2e/Qwen3.8/run_matrix.py, add the value next to the other config fields:

"formal_tokens": MODE_DEFAULTS["formal"]["bs"] * MODE_DEFAULTS["formal"]["seq"],

196-213: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add CPU-only coverage for the remaining runner validation contracts.

This test is the only one that exercises run_matrix.py. Several validation contracts in that file need no torch or CUDA and stay untested:

  • _parse_args (lines 286-295): the rounds-multiple-of-8 rule, the --warmup >= 1 rule, the artifact-name-is-a-stem rule, and the formal-only --compare rule.
  • _prepare_artifacts (lines 351-356): the identical-path rejection and the FileExistsError collision without --overwrite.
  • _strict_json_load (lines 160-171): rejection of NaN/Infinity constants and of a non-object payload.

A regression in any of these stays silent until an operator starts a formal B200 job. README.md line 112 presents this suite as the CPU-only gate for the flow.

Do you want me to generate these test cases?

70-73: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

The cuDNN backend floor is declared twice as a bare literal. Both files hardcode backend_floor = 92300 for the same d256 requirement, and ROUTE_CONTRACT["cudnn_full_attention"]["minimum_cudnn_backend"] records it a third time. A future bump must change every site, and a partial bump lets one arm run below the supported backend. run_matrix.py already imports run_model.py as qwen, so it can read one exported constant.

  • benchmark/e2e/Qwen3.8/run_model.py#L70-L73: promote the floor to a module-level public constant, for example CUDNN_BACKEND_FLOOR = 92300, and use it in the check.

Inline comments:
In `@benchmark/e2e/_factorial.py`:
- Around line 258-264: Update the headline parsing around current_headline and
previous_headline to catch ValueError and OverflowError in addition to the
existing exceptions, ensuring malformed paired_ratio_p50 values raise the
labelled artifact-validation ValueError. Add regression cases covering a
non-numeric string and an oversized integer.

In `@benchmark/e2e/Qwen-Image/run_bf16.py`:
- Around line 416-418: Update the run setup around _git_provenance so git
provenance is collected before timed batches begin, or make its failure
non-fatal by recording an explicit error or “unknown” value. Ensure the
completed timed run is preserved when git or REPO_ROOT is unavailable, and use
the captured provenance when constructing build_fingerprint.

In `@benchmark/e2e/Qwen3.8/run_matrix.py`:
- Around line 148-158: Update _display_path, used by _source_record, so paths
outside REPO_ROOT are converted to a non-absolute package-relative or
site-packages-relative label rather than returning the resolved absolute path.
Preserve repository-relative paths and the existing sha256 provenance behavior.
- Around line 450-475: Update the formal-run environment or dependency
configuration to require PyTorch 2.5 or later, matching the seven-argument
SDPAParams construction in the torch SDPA probe. Ensure the pinned version
applies to the benchmark warmup and formal run without changing the probe logic.

In `@benchmark/e2e/README.md`:
- Line 192: Update the line beginning with “#682” in the Markdown text to begin
with “issue `#682`” instead, preserving the remainder of the sentence.

- Around line 287-296: Update the warm-route loop over VARIANTS to discard the
unused bits value while retaining backend iteration and all existing warmup
validation behavior.

In `@benchmark/e2e/Qwen-Image/run_model.py`:
- Around line 93-99: Update is_right_padded to use a single deferred local
import of torch, replacing all three inline __import__("torch") calls while
preserving the existing mask validation and padding-check behavior.

In `@benchmark/e2e/Qwen3.8/run_matrix.py`:
- Around line 746-756: In the variant loop around step and grad_values, check
each sampled parameter’s .grad before calling detach; if any are missing, raise
a RuntimeError that identifies the current variant and the affected parameter
names. Keep the existing missing-name validation and only build grad_values
after all sampled gradients are confirmed present.

In `@benchmark/e2e/Qwen3.8/run_model.py`:
- Around line 70-73: The cuDNN backend floor is duplicated across the model and
matrix runners. In benchmark/e2e/Qwen3.8/run_model.py:70-73, expose the floor as
module-level constant CUDNN_BACKEND_FLOOR and use it in the validation; in
benchmark/e2e/Qwen3.8/run_matrix.py:396-398, replace the local literal and
ROUTE_CONTRACT minimum_cudnn_backend value with qwen.CUDNN_BACKEND_FLOOR.

Final current-head CI: mirror pipeline 63833189 completed successfully for 5503af1 with no required failures and no retries. All triggered FROST, Python (dev/release on Hopper, Ampere, and Blackwell), sanitizer, build, and required analysis jobs passed. The sole failed job is analysis:guardwords_scan, marked allow_failure=true; its only PR-specific match is the false-positive cross-word substring work id in other transformer work identical, plus repository-wide existing hits.
