Before submitting

  • I agree to license this contribution under the terms of LICENSE.txt.
  • I ran pre-commit run and committed any formatting changes.
  • I added GitHub labels: one cat-*, one or more mod-*, and one orig-* (see label list).

Requested labels: cat-feature, mod-cutedsl, mod-frontend, mod-infra, and orig-nv-eng. The contributor account receives HTTP 403 when adding labels to the upstream repository, so a maintainer must apply them.

Affected area

  • Python API or bindings
  • FE OSS kernels or CuTeDSL
  • Documentation or samples
  • Benchmarks or performance
  • Repository agent tooling

Summary

  • Add the experimental cudnn.flex_attention Python API with lazy top-level exports, autograd integration, and mask-plan construction.
  • Add CuTe DSL forward and backward kernels for SM90, SM100, and SM103, covering fixed-length and variable-length MHA/GQA workloads.
  • Add compact arbitrary-mask planning, scheduling, runtime compilation/cache support, documentation, benchmarks, and focused tests.
  • Remove source-only compatibility and unused kernel code while preserving the cuDNN Frontend package contract.
  • Sync the CUTLASS DSL 4.6.0/4.6.1 bulk-copy election fix to avoid an SM90 backward deadlock.
  • Add reusable guidance for future Indexer kernel migration and cleanup work.

Why

This exposes the migrated open-source Flex Attention implementation through cuDNN Frontend while keeping optional CuTe DSL dependencies lazy and adapting the source implementation to this repository's API, packaging, stream, and testing conventions.

Related issues

None.

API and compatibility impact

Adds cudnn.create_mask_plan, cudnn.flex_attn_func, and the cudnn.flex_attention namespace. MaskPlan remains namespace-scoped. The implementation is experimental, requires the existing [cutedsl] optional dependency, and supports SM90, SM100, and SM103. Existing APIs are unchanged.

Testing

  • uvx pre-commit run --from-ref upstream/develop --to-ref HEAD — passed.
  • python -m compileall -q python/cudnn/flex_attention — passed.
  • PYTHONPATH=/code/github/cudnn-frontend/python python -m pytest --confcutdir=/code/github/cudnn-frontend/test/python/fe_api/flex_attention -q test/python/fe_api/flex_attention — 18 passed, 2 deselected.
  • PYTHONPATH=/code/github/cudnn-frontend/python python -m pytest --confcutdir=/code/github/cudnn-frontend/test/python/fe_api/flex_attention -q -s -m L1 test/python/fe_api/flex_attention/test_flex_attention.py — 1 passed, 1 deselected on NVIDIA B200 (SM100), including forward/backward numerical comparison against the FP32 reference.
  • CUTLASS DSL version-window contract was validated with installed nvidia-cutlass-dsl 4.6.1.
  • SM90 and SM103 kernel execution were not tested on this machine. The normal repository conftest path was blocked before test execution because the locally installed _compiled_module lacks _raw_set_stream; focused tests used --confcutdir to avoid that unrelated stale-extension fixture.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added an experimental Flex Attention API with reusable mask plans for arbitrary interval-based sparse masks.
    • Supports fixed- and variable-length sequences, grouped-query attention, forward and backward execution, deterministic mode, and optional log-sum-exp output.
    • Added support for NVIDIA Hopper and Blackwell architectures, including head-dimension 256 configurations.
    • Added lazy public exports and reusable compiled execution plans with workspace support.
  • Documentation

    • Added API, benchmark, installation, usage, configuration, and supported-hardware documentation.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for correctness, validation, architectures, variable-length inputs, and benchmark dry runs.

221-271: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Derive the word stride from self.num_warps.

Line 221 starts each warp at word_idx = warp_idx. Line 271 advances by the literal 8. The same function already uses self.num_warps for the shared-memory layout at lines 207 and 212 and for the reduction at line 281. The literal is correct only while the planner launches 256 threads. If the launch width changes, warps skip words and the partial/full counts drop blocks without any error.

Forward num_unroll_groups through the swap_AB recursion.

The hd128 entries of _QSTAGE1_2CTA_TUNING_CONFIG are partially dead.

Lines 94 to 97 apply num_regs_softmax and num_regs_correction from the table. Lines 98 to 108 then overwrite both values for every head_dim_padded == 128 and head_dim_v_padded == 128 case. The (128, False) and (128, True) table entries therefore only contribute ex2_emu_freq; their register values never take effect.

Two register-tuning sources for the same configuration are hard to maintain. Move the hd128 register values into the table, or drop them from the table and keep the block at Lines 98 to 108 as the single source.

Remove the dead register allocation at Line 1424.

tOrO_frg is allocated with shape (tOrO_t2r_shape, frg_count) and is immediately replaced on the first loop iteration at Line 1426. The outer allocation is never read. The correction warps run with a tuned budget of 64 to 88 registers, so a stale fragment allocation can add avoidable register pressure.

69-85: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Two tiled_copy_2d helpers share a name but not a contract.

This tiled_copy_2d takes threads_per_row and num_copy_elems. The helper with the same name in python/cudnn/flex_attention/kernels/common/copy_utils.py (Lines 38-50) takes major_mode_size and derives the element count. The second positional parameter therefore means different things in the two modules. A wrong import produces a silently different tiled copy. Rename one of them, or export a single shared helper.

- Around line 69-85: Resolve the duplicate tiled_copy_2d naming conflict between
the compatibility helper and the common copy_utils helper by renaming one helper
or consolidating them into a single shared implementation. Update all references
and imports so the positional parameters have one unambiguous contract,

In `@python/cudnn/flex_attention/_compat/cute_dsl_utils.py`:
- Around line 15-28: The process-wide patch around
_converter_module._convert_single_arg needs a compatibility guard and coverage
for all affected kernels. Validate that the private converter symbol exists and
supports the expected signature before replacing it, and preserve normal

Flex Attention, block_sparse_attention, other affected kernels, and each
supported converter signature, including Constexpr and tuple arguments.

In `@python/cudnn/flex_attention/dispatch.py`:
- Around line 90-96: Update _compile_with_timing to send the compilation-latency
message through cudnn.flex_attention.runtime.logging instead of printing to
stdout, while preserving the existing timing and return behavior.

In `@python/cudnn/flex_attention/kernels/common/copy_utils.py`:
- Around line 150-183: Update tma_get_copy_fn’s return annotation in
python/cudnn/flex_attention/kernels/common/copy_utils.py:150-183 to
Tuple[Callable, cute.Tensor, cute.Tensor] and import Tuple; make the same
annotation change in python/cudnn/flex_attention/_compat/copy_utils.py:260-300,
reusing its existing Tuple import. No other changes are needed.

In `@python/cudnn/flex_attention/kernels/common/softmax.py`:
- Around line 164-169: Change the is_first parameter annotation in
update_row_max_from_local to int, matching update_row_max and its required
compile-time const_expr branch.

In `@python/cudnn/flex_attention/kernels/sm100/blackwell_helpers.py`:
- Around line 26-27: Update the recursive gemm_w_idx call in the swap_AB branch

assignments from the override block, while preserving the existing ex2_emu_freq
handling and effective values for each configuration.

In `@python/cudnn/flex_attention/kernels/sm100/fwd/forward.py`:
- Around line 1423-1428: Remove the unused outer tOrO_frg allocation before the

NVIDIA CUTLASS CuTe DSL Python Boolean cutlass.Constexpr bool parameter runtime Boolean const_expr documentation

💡 Result:

In the NVIDIA CUTLASS CuTe Python DSL, cutlass.Constexpr and cutlass.const_expr serve distinct purposes related to compile-time specialization and control flow [1][2]. cutlass.Constexpr (Type Annotation) cutlass.Constexpr is a type annotation used in JIT-compiled functions (decorated with @cute.jit or @cute.kernel) to signify that a specific function argument must be a compile-time constant [1][3]. When an argument is annotated with cutlass.Constexpr, the CuTe DSL ensures the value is known at compile time, allowing the compiler to perform optimizations like dead-code elimination, loop unrolling, and specialization based on that value [4][3]. cutlass.const_expr (Control Flow Guard) cutlass.const_expr is a function used to guard control flow statements (if, while) to ensure they are evaluated at compile time rather than runtime [2][5]. - When used as if cutlass.const_expr(condition):, only the branch corresponding to the evaluated condition is traced and emitted into the generated code [2][6]. - Without this wrapper, a standard if statement in a JIT-compiled function is treated as a dynamic branch, where both branches are traced into the generated Intermediate Representation (IR) [2][6]. - Attempting to pass a dynamic (runtime) variable to cutlass.const_expr will result in a compilation error, as it requires a value that can be resolved during the Python compilation/tracing phase [2][7]. In summary, cutlass.Constexpr is for defining static inputs to kernels [1][3], while cutlass.const_expr is for enforcing compile-time evaluation of logic and control flow [2][5].

Make zero_init compile-time

gemm_w_idx forwards zero_init to gemm, where not zero_init sets warpgroup.Field.ACCUMULATE during tracing. mma_one_m_block passes not dKV_accumulate, but dKV_accumulate is declared as runtime Boolean; Python-level negation can therefore always produce the wrong predicate. The first dKV GEMM may keep accumulation enabled and use an uninitialized accumulator. Annotate zero_init and the dKV_accumulate path as cutlass.Constexpr[bool], or add a runtime accumulation branch.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

fmax_reduce requires a size that is a multiple of 4, but does not check it.

Both the arch == 90 branch and the % 8 != 0 branch seed four accumulators from res[0..3] and then step by 4. For cute.size(x.shape) values that are not a multiple of 4, the loop reads past the end. For example, size 6 makes res[i + 2] and res[i + 3] resolve to indices 6 and 7. Sizes below 4 fail on the seed itself.

Add an explicit static assertion so the constraint fails with a clear message.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Replace the precondition asserts in patch() with explicit errors.

patch() validates two required preconditions with assert. Python removes both statements under -O. Two consequences follow.

  • Line 136: without the assert, os.path.isfile(None) raises TypeError instead of the intended clear error when CUTE_DSL_PTXAS_PATH is unset.
  • Line 142: without the assert, patch() installs the hook while CUTE_DSL_KEEP_PTX is not 1. No PTX is then dumped, _get_ptx returns None for every kernel, and every compile silently falls back to the embedded ptxas.

Line 141 also makes _user_wanted_ptx always True when the assert holds, so the deletion branch at Line 126 never runs. Raise RuntimeError for both checks instead.

🛡️ Proposed fix
-    assert CUTE_DSL_PTXAS_PATH is not None
+    if CUTE_DSL_PTXAS_PATH is None:

Remove the in-place mutation of cu_q and cu_k; it makes this test fail deterministically.

create_mask_plan records cu_seqlens_q._version and cu_seqlens_k._version through ArbitraryPlanRuntimeBinding.capture (python/cudnn/flex_attention/plan/mask_plan.py Line 213). cu_q.add_(1) and cu_k.add_(1) increment those versions.

flex_attn_func reaches _validate_plan_binding in python/cudnn/flex_attention/dispatch.py Line 418, which calls validate_arbitrary_plan_runtime_binding. That validator compares the current version against the recorded version (python/cudnn/flex_attention/plan/mask_plan.py Lines 261-267) and raises ValueError: ... was modified in-place after plan construction ... rebuild the plan.

Line 112 therefore raises before any numerical comparison runs. The mutated prefixes also no longer describe the sample partition used by the reference loop at Lines 123-133.

If the intent is to cover the stale-plan guard, move the mutation into a separate test that asserts the ValueError.

Limit the GPU requirement to measured runs.

The requirements list makes an NVIDIA GPU appear mandatory for every invocation. The --dry-run section says that dry-run does not initialize CUDA kernels, and the corresponding test avoids CUDA availability queries. State that the GPU is required for measured execution, while dry-run can run without CUDA initialization.

  • Line 136: os.path.isfile(None) then raises TypeError instead of a clear configuration error when CUTE_DSL_PTXAS_PATH is unset.
  • Line 142: patch() installs the hook while CUTE_DSL_KEEP_PTX is not 1. No PTX is dumped, _get_ptx returns None, and every compile silently falls back to the embedded ptxas.

Line 141 also makes _user_wanted_ptx always True while the assert holds, so the deletion branch at Line 126 never runs.

🛡️ Proposed fix
-    assert CUTE_DSL_PTXAS_PATH is not None
+    if CUTE_DSL_PTXAS_PATH is None:
+        raise RuntimeError("CUTE_DSL_PTXAS_PATH must be set to use the system ptxas hook")
     if not os.path.isfile(CUTE_DSL_PTXAS_PATH) or not os.access(CUTE_DSL_PTXAS_PATH, os.X_OK):
         raise RuntimeError(f"ptxas not found: {CUTE_DSL_PTXAS_PATH}")
 
     # Track if user originally wanted PTX kept
     _user_wanted_ptx = os.environ.get("CUTE_DSL_KEEP_PTX", "0") == "1"
-    assert os.environ.get("CUTE_DSL_KEEP_PTX", "0") == "1", "Require CUTE_DSL_KEEP_PTX=1 to use system's ptxas"
+    if not _user_wanted_ptx:
+        raise RuntimeError("CUTE_DSL_KEEP_PTX=1 is required to use the system ptxas")

90-108: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

The hd128 block overrides the table register values, so those table entries never take effect.

Lines 94-97 apply num_regs_softmax, num_regs_correction, and num_regs_other from _QSTAGE1_2CTA_TUNING_CONFIG. Lines 98-108 then overwrite all three values whenever head_dim_padded == 128 and head_dim_v_padded == 128. For the (128, False) and (128, True) table entries, the register fields are therefore dead; only ex2_emu_freq and ex2_emu_start_frg survive. This is not a correctness break, because each resulting register split stays within 512, but a future tuning change to the table will silently have no effect.

Keep one source of truth. Either remove the register fields from the (128, *) table entries, or make the hd128 block apply only when the table does not provide register values.
