📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds persistent THD scheduling for SM100 and SM120. It expands THD metadata with remapping and scheduler fields. It adds dense PackGQA support across APIs, heuristics, kernels, launch geometry, and tests.

Changes

Persistent THD scheduling and PackGQA

Layer / File(s) Summary
THD metadata and unit mapping
python/cudnn/sdpa/fwd/kernels/thd_sm100.py, python/cudnn/sdpa/fwd/kernels/_common_sm100.py
THD setup creates a deterministic batch remap, computes live units, initializes a claim counter, and decodes units through the remap. Zero-length sequences use clamped tile counts for decoding.
Persistent scheduler and CTA dispatch
python/cudnn/frost/tile_dsl/scheduler.py, python/cudnn/sdpa/fwd/kernels/prefill_d128_f16_sm100.py, python/cudnn/sdpa/fwd/kernels/prefill_f16_sm120.py
THD paths claim device-side units, publish DSMEM tile payloads, reuse CTAs, advance barrier phases, and retain fallback scheduling.
Launch sizing and metadata ABI
python/cudnn/sdpa/fwd/api_dsl.py, python/cudnn/sdpa/fwd/kernels/prefill_*
THD metadata uses 4*B+4 elements. Persistent CTA counts and setup parameters are passed through updated launch paths.
PackGQA heuristics and execution
python/cudnn/sdpa/fwd/heuristics.py, python/cudnn/sdpa/fwd/kernels/*
PackGQA eligibility, packed geometry, bounds, TMA addressing, masking, sinks, LSE, output stores, validation, and launch grids are updated. MXFP8 rejects PackGQA.
Validation coverage
test/python/sdpa/frost/test_sdpa_fwd_dsl_sm120.py
Tests cover PackGQA ratios, tiles, masks, padding, sinks, statistics, BF16, odd lengths, multi-tile workloads, and repeated CTA assignment for THD units.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to ecaaf

This PR changes THD and PackGQA output, LSE indexing, scheduler initialization, and stream execution behavior; unresolved issues can produce incorrect attention outputs or cause executions to fail, so it is not merge-ready until the correctness and runtime-safety concerns are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Inline comments:
In `@python/cudnn/frost/tile_dsl/scheduler.py`:
- Around line 150-177: Update the payload stride in the elect_sync block so the
value assigned to linear matches _thd_decode’s CGA_M-based decoding, using
CFG.CGA_M (or the equivalent scheduler configuration symbol) instead of
cga_size. Preserve the existing payload stores and valid/UID behavior for all
CGA_N configurations.

In `@python/cudnn/sdpa/fwd/kernels/_common_sm100.py`:
- Around line 750-760: Guard the zero-length sequence case in the batch
remapping loop by deriving a nonzero divisor from cb, as thd_decode_unit does
with tb_nz. Use that guarded value for the local quotient and remainder
calculations in f_head and f_qc, while preserving cb for units_b and normal
non-empty sequence ordering.

In `@python/cudnn/sdpa/fwd/kernels/prefill_d128_f16_sm100.py`:
- Around line 2172-2174: Update the persistent prefill launch around
scheduler_warp_loop_persistent to derive the cluster count from the
device-computed live workload, matching the approach used by thd_n_ctas in
prefill_f16_sm120.py. Use that same live count for both the grid dimensions and
the n_clusters argument to the setup kernel, rather than n_thd_units, so no
clusters dispatch units beyond live.

In `@python/cudnn/sdpa/fwd/kernels/thd_sm100.py`:
- Around line 180-198: Restrict the setup work in both build_thd_meta_kernel and
build_thd_meta_o_descs_kernel to warp 0 by guarding the nvvm.elect_sync() block
with a warp-0 condition, preventing multiple elected threads from racing on
metadata and tensormap_replace writes. Leave build_thd_meta_o_kv_descs_kernel
unchanged.

In `@test/python/sdpa/frost/test_sdpa_fwd_dsl_sm120.py`:
- Around line 902-904: Add a cuDNN backend-version skip at the start of
test_dsl_sm120_thd_multi_unit_per_cta, before graph construction, requiring
backend version 91200 or newer while preserving the existing GPU and

Add a cuDNN backend-version skip for this test.

The module-level gate correctly skips unsupported GPUs, and _require_dsl() gates DSL availability and version. However, cudnn.pygraph raises below backend version 91200. Add a cudnn.backend_version() skip for the minimum version required by this THD path before graph construction.

- SM120 THD: longest-first batch remap and a persistent claim scheduler, so
  the grid is sized to the machine rather than to the plan-time S_q envelope
  (832-2048 CTAs -> 84). 0 to -6.8% on ragged causal shapes.
- Fix a latent K/V pipeline bug: compute_one_kv_tile arrives at
  bar_k/v_consumed once per tile while the load warp only syncs between
  tiles, leaving an unmatched arrival per pass. Harmless for a single-shot
  CTA, fatal once a CTA runs a second tile range.
- Push the SM100 scheduler payload as scalar DSMEM stores; the tuple form
  of store_async_dsmem does not lower.
- Widen the THD metadata to [seq_kv | cu_q | cu_k | remap | live | ctr] on
  SM120 and add a test covering CTAs that claim more than one unit.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The causal auto-upgrade promoted any NATURAL graph to LPT/LPT_L2 with no THD
exclusion, so a ragged batch silently ran a decode that assumes a dense
rectangular tile space. THD carries its own scheduler, which walks the live
units through batch_remap, so exclude it on both arches and drop the policy
term from the SM120 persistent gate.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The SM count was queried through torch.cuda.get_device_properties on every
execute. Measured on a host-bound THD shape (B=1, h=1, d=128, s=256), the
execute drops from 94.1 to 89.2 us/call, level with develop. A device
property cannot change under a live process.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
_torch_stream_context built two torch Stream objects (~3.4 us each) and
entered a stream context on every use, several times per execute, even when
the launch stream is the one torch is already on -- where the switch is a
no-op. Compare the raw handle instead and return early.

Measured on a host-bound THD shape (B=1, h=1, d=128, s=256, release cuDNN):
86.7 -> 59.2 us/call. Not THD-specific; this context is used by every SDPA
DSL execute path.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
develop's NVIDIA#692 promoted the causal LPT/LPT_L2 choice onto the graph path via
_sched_points, which branches on facts.causal alone. The adapters' THD
exclusion therefore covered only the standalone-wrapper tier, and a ragged
graph was ranked straight back onto an LPT decode built for a dense
rectangular tile space. Exclude it there too, alongside the split-KV rule
that already special-cases THD.

Hoist the register transitions out of the persistent unit loop.

setmaxnreg.inc and setmaxnreg.dec use absolute targets, so repeated requests for 232 and 40 do not leak registers. However, PTX requires explicit synchronization from every warp in the warpgroup before a subsequent setmaxnreg. The load/empty warpgroup repeats the decrease, but the empty warps do not synchronize between iterations. Move these transitions to one-time setup before while _uid < _live.

guard selecting tidx == 0 directly so the required metadata is always written by
lane zero.

Review follow-ups on the persistent THD scheduler.

elect_sync elects one thread PER WARP. The setup kernels ran their
single-thread body under a bare elect_sync, which was safe while they
launched one warp -- this series widened them to THD_SETUP_THREADS so the
batch ranking could run in parallel, leaving 8 elected threads racing.
The metadata writes are idempotent, but the O descriptor build is not: a
lagging warp's base-qword copy can land after another's tensormap_replace
and revert the patched address. Guard all three setup kernels on warp 0.

The persistent handout strided the unit id by the cluster size while the
consumer decodes it back out as linear // CGA_M. Equal while CGA_N == 1,
which is every config today; take both so the two stop being coupled.

Also clamp the decode's per-sequence tile count before dividing (a
zero-length sequence gives cb == 0, and arith.select evaluates both arms),
matching thd_decode_unit's tb_nz, and correct the stale grid comment: the
adapter hands down an occupancy-capped cluster count, not the envelope.

SM100 631 passed, SM120 499 passed, no regressions.
The SM100 THD pack read multi_processor_count on every execute, including
on the CLC path that never looks at it. Resolve it through a per-device
cache, inside the persistent branch that actually needs it.

Also fix the cache key both this and the CTA-count cache used:
torch.device("cuda") carries index None and means the CURRENT device, so
keying on it directly would hand every device on a multi-GPU host whichever
entry landed first.

SM120 499 passed, no regressions; SM100 suite pending a node.
_cuda_getCurrentRawStream is a private torch symbol and only shortcuts the
stream context, so resolve it once via getattr and fall through to the
public API on a build that lacks it rather than failing every execute.

The THD setup launch passed QH as the head count while the main launch
passes QH // HEADS_PER_TILE, so the live-unit total and the decode would
disagree the moment the two differ. They cannot today -- PackGQA is
dense-only and THD runs unpacked, making HEADS_PER_TILE 1 -- so this is
identical in every reachable config; align them so it stays that way.
MXFP8 is left alone: it has no HEADS_PER_TILE and its main launch passes
QH, so the two already agree.

SM120 499 passed, no regressions; SM100 d128/d256/d512/d192 f16 and d128
fp8 trace-compile clean for sm_100a. Full SM100 suite pending a node.

919-922: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Use actual head and token coordinates for THD output stores.

When CFG.PACK_GQA is enabled, head_idx is the packed head and q_row_base is in token units. This branch passes head_idx and advances the second Q slab by CFG.TILE_M. The descriptor uses HEADS_PER_TILE heads and TOKENS_PER_TILE rows per slab. The store therefore targets incorrect output heads and rows. Pass q_head_idx and qs * TOKENS_PER_TILE, matching the dense branch.

Proposed fix
-                    o_slice = tma_slice_runtime_desc(o_desc_ptr, cutlass.Int32(0), head_idx, q_row_base + cutlass.Int32(qs * CFG.TILE_M), cutlass.Int32(0))
+                    o_slice = tma_slice_runtime_desc(
+                        o_desc_ptr,
+                        cutlass.Int32(0),
+                        q_head_idx,
+                        q_row_base + cutlass.Int32(qs * TOKENS_PER_TILE),
+                        cutlass.Int32(0),

1901-1906: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Index THD LSE with the actual query head.

When PackGQA is enabled, head_idx is the packed head, while row_head_idx is the actual query head for the correction lane. This branch uses head_idx for both token-major and head-major LSE layouts. It overwrites or omits the remaining heads in each GQA group. Use row_head_idx for both indices.

Proposed fix
-                            lse_row[head_idx] = lse_val
+                            lse_row[row_head_idx] = lse_val

elect.sync elects an implementation-defined lane, so conjoining it with
tidx == 0 can select NO thread at all and leave the live-unit total and
the claim-counter seed unwritten. Thread 0 alone is the guard that was
meant, and it matches thd_claim_next.

The warp-0 guards keep their elect_sync: those only need some one thread
of warp 0, not a specific lane.
