What

Converts the SM80 SDPA forward kernels to the same TemplateParams architecture used by SM100/SM120, so the FROST adapter lanes converge (design doc §5/D4):

  • prefill_f16_sm80.py / prefill_d256_f16_sm80.py: module-level FROST_TEMPLATE_PARAMS (frozen TemplateParams dataclass in config_sm80.py, with validate_params / params_for_flavor) + an @lru_cache compile(...) entry point per module. The runtime forward() shim, its private scheduler-resolution copy, and the __main__ smoke are deleted (~350 lines per kernel).
  • THD extents are cute.sym_int dynamics — one compiled artifact per (params, n_seqs) serves any token totals. Continuous batching no longer mints a compile per step (issue frost(sdpa): SM80 _compile_cached keys the THD compile on the packed token totals (per-step recompile) #604, SM80 lane).
  • has_lse compiles out: has_lse=False builds a kernel with no LSE buffer or epilogue stores, instead of writing into a scratch dummy.
  • Scheduler vocabulary now comes from frost.tile_dsl.constants (SCHED_NATURAL/LPT/LPT_L2) — the third private copy is gone.
  • SdpaFwdDslSm80.compile() builds TemplateParams from graph facts and loads the specialized module via frost.template_loader (plan-time JIT, same seam as SdpaFwdDslSm100); execute() only rebinds pointers. lower_dsl_prefill passes bias presence/dtype to adapters that accept it.

Validation

  • A100 (parley): fe_api/sdpa/test_sdpa_fwd_sm80.py + test_sdpa_bwd_sm80.py + sdpa/frost/test_sdpa_sm80_frontend_integration.py, all levels — 114 passed.
  • A100 graph-path e2e: dense causal+Stats (×2 executions), GQA h_kv=2, padded KV+Stats, ALiBi-declines-to-backend — all pass.
  • B200: sdpa/frost/test_sdpa_frontend_integration.py — 10 passed / 1 skipped (SM100 path unaffected by the lowering-glue change).
  • New regression test test_sm80_thd_compile_key_plan_time_only locks in the frost(sdpa): SM80 _compile_cached keys the THD compile on the packed token totals (per-step recompile) #604 fix via template-loader/cache-info deltas.

Stacked on #682.

…t plan time

Bring the SM80 forward onto the same template architecture as SM100/SM120:

- Both kernels (prefill_f16_sm80.py, prefill_d256_f16_sm80.py) now read a
  module-level FROST_TEMPLATE_PARAMS (frozen TemplateParams dataclass in
  config_sm80.py) and expose an @lru_cache compile(b, h, h_kv, sq, skv, d,
  ...) entry point; the runtime forward() shim and __main__ smoke are gone
  (-350 lines each).
- Packed THD token extents compile as cute.sym_int dynamics: one artifact
  per (params, n_seqs) serves any token totals, so continuous batching no
  longer mints a compile per step (issue NVIDIA#604 for SM80).
- has_lse is a template flag: has_lse=False builds a kernel with no LSE
  buffer or epilogue stores at all instead of writing to a scratch dummy.
- Scheduler vocabulary now imports from frost.tile_dsl.constants
  (SCHED_NATURAL/LPT/LPT_L2) instead of a third private copy.
- SdpaFwdDslSm80 builds TemplateParams from graph facts in compile() and
  loads the specialized module via frost.template_loader (plan-time JIT,
  same seam as SdpaFwdDslSm100); execute() only rebinds pointers.
- lower_dsl_prefill passes bias presence/dtype to adapters that accept it.

Validated on A100 (fe_api sm80 fwd+bwd + frontend integration, all levels)
and B200 (frontend integration, unaffected).

Three varlen wrapper calls with different token totals must not mint new
template specializations and must cache-hit the per-shape compile when the
logical batch count repeats. Asserts on cache-info deltas so the check is
robust inside a full-session run.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

SM80 SDPA forward execution now uses validated TemplateParams, plan-time compilation, and explicit dense and THD kernel ABIs. Bias, RoPE, optional LSE, dynamic THD extents, padded outputs, stream propagation, and compile-cache reuse are supported.

Changes

SM80 SDPA template execution

Bias eligibility validation
python/cudnn/sdpa/fwd/engines.py
Rejects unsupported bias dtypes during plan-time eligibility checks and passes bias specialization flags to compatible adapters.
THD execution regression coverage
test/python/fe_api/sdpa/test_sdpa_fwd_sm80.py
Tests an off-flavor head dimension and verifies compile-cache reuse across different runtime token totals.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to acb12

This change alters SM80 SDPA plan-time compilation and launch handling. At the current head, invalid THD cumulative-length inputs can fail at launch or violate the expected buffer contract, while non-broadcast bias can produce incorrect results by applying batch-zero bias across all batches; these correctness issues should be fixed before merge.

3323-3330: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

The defensive zero-fill costs a full-tensor memset per execute and skips the pad_v case.

Two concerns with this block:

  1. When seq_q_lens or seq_kv_lens is present, o_kernel.zero_() writes B*SQ*H*d_v elements and lse_tensor.zero_() writes B*H*SQ elements on every execute. The comment states the fill is not load-bearing, because the epilogue stores every in-bounds row. That makes this a per-execute memset on the hot path for a padded graph.
  2. The condition includes and not pad_v. When pad_v is true, the o_kernel scratch is already zeroed by torch.zeros, but lse_tensor is never zeroed. The stated intent therefore does not hold uniformly.

If the fill is truly not load-bearing, remove it. If it guards a real gap, apply it to lse_tensor in the pad_v case as well.

Allocate the THD dummy operands once instead of per call.

sinks_b (no-sink case), dummy_i32, dummy_f32, and dummy_io are allocated on every THD call. This path is the continuous-batching hot path that the rest of this PR optimizes, and the dense execute() already caches its dummies through _dummy. Cache these four by (dtype, device) in a module-level dict.

Sample the cache counters around call 3 so the assertion pins the regression.

misses_1 - misses_0 <= 1 aggregates calls 2 and 3. The budget of one miss belongs to call 2 (n_seqs=3), but the assertion cannot prove which call consumed it. If call 2 hit an earlier session entry and call 3 missed — the exact issue #604 regression — the two assertions still pass.

Take a third sample between call 2 and call 3, then require call 3 to add zero misses.

1672-1809: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

The two SM80 templates carry near-identical compile() bodies. The shared root cause is that the fake-tensor construction, the PARAMS bootstrap, and the validate_params call were copied into both template modules. The bodies differ only in the module-level TemplateParams default; roughly 140 lines are duplicated, and every future ABI change must land twice.

Extract the shared parts into a helper module that both templates import — for example _sm80_fake_operands(p, b, h, h_kv, sq, skv, d, swa_window, rope_max_s, n_batch_logical) returning the operand tuple. The helper lives outside the template file, so frost.template_loader re-execution still produces one module per TemplateParams.

  • python/cudnn/sdpa/fwd/kernels/prefill_d256_f16_sm80.py#L1673-L1810: apply the same replacement and keep only the qwen-flavor (d=256) PARAMS default.

- THD off-flavor head dim (real bug): Q/K are host-padded to the flavor
  width, but compile/runtime d stayed at the unpadded value; since the
  kernel derives Q/K row strides from d_runtime, the compiled artifact's
  shape check rejected every off-flavor varlen call. Pass the padded width
  at both seams (the pre-template forward() contract) and add an L1
  regression test (d=96 over the llama d=128 envelope).
- Drop the SM80 _dummy override that shadowed SdpaFwdDsl._dummy with an
  incompatible signature; the six call sites now use the inherited
  (key, device, factory) form like the sibling adapters.
- Resolve the SM80 launch stream via the inherited _get_default_stream
  (caller's handle when given, torch current stream otherwise) instead of
  re-reading torch's current stream; thread current_stream through
  _sm80_thd_forward.
- Decline non-fp32/non-io-dtype bias at plan time in the shared mismatch()
  (uniform_dtype covers K/V/O only), instead of a ValueError at execute.
- Move the THD compile-key regression test from L0 to L1 (it JIT-compiles
  two specializations by design).

3342-3355: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Reject non-broadcast bias tensors

The kernel ABI supports only [1, H, SQ, SKV] bias. Require this exact shape instead of slicing bias_tensor[:1], which applies batch-zero bias to every batch. Add a B=2 regression with distinct bias values and assert rejection.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Validate both THD cumulative-length tensors before launch.

n_seqs comes from cu_q, but cu_k can be None or have a different length. Line 3440 then raises AttributeError, or the launch receives a cu_k buffer that does not satisfy the (B+1,) contract for n_batch_logical.

Require a non-None, one-dimensional cu_k with cu_k.numel() == cu_q.numel() before conversion and launch.

…ule (issue NVIDIA#604)

The NVIDIA#689 analogue for the backward: bprop_f16_sm80 becomes a TemplateParams
template (bwd/config_sm80 params + validator) loaded per-specialization via
frost.template_loader, with one module-level compile(...) per shape returning
the full kernel chain (do_dot / main / dQ cast / GQA reduces / dSink); the
host backward() entry point is gone — launch marshaling lives in the adapter
(SdpaBwdDslSm80.compile/execute) and the THD functional wrapper.

THD packed token totals compile as cute.sym_int DYNAMICS (issue NVIDIA#604): one
artifact per (params, n_seqs) re-binds any token totals — the static
PARTIAL_Q/PARTIAL_KV gates fold False under THD_VARLEN (per-sequence bounds
ride GATE_Q/GATE_KV), and THD+deterministic is now rejected in the validator
(the dQ-relay semaphore has no plan-time size under a dynamic sq).

Also: RoPE preconditions the old backward() asserted move to the adapter
(rope_max_s coverage, tile alignment) and rope_max_s now reaches the plan
(it's part of the compiled table's shape); the d64 fast path keeps its
dedicated self-caching module (dense-only) and the d64-vs-generic test runs
the generic side through the adapter with the gate forced off; a bwd twin of
the THD compile-key regression test guards the plan-time-only key.

Dead code deleted: the legacy per-piece _compile_* wrappers (except
_compile_do_dot, which d64 imports) and the module dummy cache.

Closes NVIDIA#604.
