Summary

cudnn.experimental.ops.sdpa predates the family-local torch custom ops in python/cudnn/sdpa/fwd/torch_op.py (#517) and duplicates them. It registers its own cudnn::sdpa, plus a backward that had to be renamed cudnn::sdpa_bwd_legacy purely so it would stop colliding with the canonical cudnn::sdpa_bwd. Removing the module retires that collision, and the rename along with it.

What goes

  • python/cudnn/experimental/ops/sdpa.py (914 lines) and its scaled_dot_product_attention export. The package stays — it still hosts the lazy moe_grouped_matmul / swiglu_mlp aliases, so from cudnn.experimental.ops import moe_grouped_matmul keeps working.
  • test/python/test_cudnn_sdpa_op.py (593 lines, 16 tests, covering only this op).
  • Docs: the "SDPA PyTorch Custom Op (Experimental)" section of docs/operations/Attention.md, the README bullet, and the now-stale sdpa.py example reference in docs/adding_torch_custom_ops.md.

Net: +24 / −1621.

Benchmarks

Three e2e scripts used the op. They now call torch.ops.cudnn.sdpa_fwd directly, which covers both arms:

script needed covered by sdpa_fwd
Qwen-Image/run_model.py padded seq_len_q / seq_len_kv
Qwen3.8/run_model.py full causal window ✅ (window_size defaults to (-1, -1); its torch A/B arm already rejects anything else)
Qwen3.8/run_matrix.py module provenance record ✅ (points at the new module)

Both arms are inference-only (requires_grad_(False), no .backward()), so sdpa_fwd's forward-only contract is sufficient. They now raise explicitly on dropout_p, and Qwen3.8 raises on a right window bound, rather than silently ignoring either — sdpa_fwd has no window_right yet.

Why this is stacked on #517

The benchmarks cannot move off the experimental op until its replacement exists, so this has to merge after #517. Its two commits belong to that PR.

Verification

  • cudnn and cudnn.experimental.ops import cleanly; __all__ is ['moe_grouped_matmul', 'swiglu_mlp'], the lazy aliases still resolve, and scaled_dot_product_attention now raises ImportError.
  • All three benchmark scripts compile.
  • test_cudnn_sdpa_torch_ops.py: 19 passed.
  • Full test/python collection: 54773 collected, no import errors — nothing else referenced the module.
  • grep for experimental.ops.sdpa / cudnn_sdpa_module across python/ test/ docs/ benchmark/ README.md: no hits.

Family-local torch contract for the features
torch.nn.functional.scaled_dot_product_attention cannot express: attention
sinks, sliding window, bottom-right causal, padded batches, and THD/varlen
packing (FA-style (T,H,D) + cu_seqlens). The ops build pygraph
sdpa/sdpa_backward nodes; the Router picks the serving plan (FROST OSS
kernels or backend engines) per config.

Contract highlights:
- register_fake meta kernels mirror the real kernels' output strides;
  torch.library.opcheck passes on both paths, including dynamic-shape AOT
  dispatch (torch.compile contract), and is locked in by a test.
- sdpa_fwd is differentiable on the varlen path via register_autograd; the
  glue converts packed TH1 stats to the padded LSE layout device-side (no
  host reads, capture/tracing-safe). Dense and sink backward raise
  NotImplementedError until their engine contracts land.
- Thread-safe: thread-local cuDNN handles (a handle must not be used from
  two threads), serialized graph builds, bounded (FIFO) graph cache.
- Validation: one io dtype per call, k/o/grad_out shape checks, int32
  ragged-offset overflow guards, inert-flag rejection
  (causal_bottom_right without an active band), clone() not contiguous()
  for base-pointer realignment (contiguous() cannot fix a misaligned base).

cudnn::sdpa_fwd / cudnn::sdpa_bwd are the canonical names; the experimental
dense module's backward is renamed cudnn::sdpa_bwd_legacy so both modules
coexist in one process until it is removed.

Tests (14, L0): sinks/window/bottom-right/padded dense with LSE value
checks against an fp32 reference; THD fwd/bwd incl. GQA, kv-interleaved
views, end-to-end autograd; opcheck. Docs: docs/fe-oss-apis/sdpa-torch-ops.md.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The span-derived THD capacity landed on develop in 3631ecb, so K/V bound
as views of a kv-interleaved [T, 2, H, D] buffer are served correctly
rather than silently truncated. The test XPASSes; unmark it.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change replaces the experimental SDPA path with public cuDNN PyTorch operators. It adds dense and THD/varlen forward support, THD backward support, autograd integration, benchmark migration, documentation, and tests.

Changes

Public SDPA Torch API

Layer / File(s) Summary
Forward operator and runtime registration
python/cudnn/sdpa/fwd/torch_op.py, python/cudnn/__init__.py
Adds cudnn::sdpa_fwd, dense and THD handling, graph caching, validation, fake kernels, and the cudnn.sdpa_torch lazy export.
THD backward and autograd
python/cudnn/sdpa/fwd/torch_op.py
Adds cudnn::sdpa_bwd for THD inputs and varlen autograd with LSE conversion. Dense and sink backward remain unsupported.
Operator coverage and validation
test/python/test_cudnn_sdpa_torch_ops.py
Adds reference-based tests for dense features, THD/varlen execution, gradients, layouts, fake kernels, schemas, and dynamic-shape dispatch.
Integration and documentation updates
benchmark/e2e/Qwen-Image/run_model.py, benchmark/e2e/Qwen3.8/run_model.py, benchmark/e2e/Qwen3.8/run_matrix.py, README.md, docs/adding_torch_custom_ops.md, docs/fe-oss-apis/sdpa-torch-ops.md
Updates benchmarks to register and call the public SDPA operators, removes legacy references, and documents the new operators.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b3e35

The PR switches benchmark callers to the non-optional sdpa_fwd interface, but the default Qwen-Image path can still pass scale=None and fail during operator argument validation; related sink-version test compatibility and cross-device validation concerns also remain open. Merge should wait for these bounded issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

`cudnn.experimental.ops.sdpa` predates the family-local torch custom ops in
`python/cudnn/sdpa/fwd/torch_op.py` (NVIDIA#517) and duplicates them: it registers
its own `cudnn::sdpa` plus a backward that had to be renamed
`cudnn::sdpa_bwd_legacy` purely to avoid colliding with the canonical
`cudnn::sdpa_bwd`. Removing it retires that collision and the rename with it.

Removed:
- `python/cudnn/experimental/ops/sdpa.py` and its
  `scaled_dot_product_attention` export. The package itself stays -- it still
  hosts the lazy `moe_grouped_matmul` / `swiglu_mlp` aliases.
- `test/python/test_cudnn_sdpa_op.py` (16 tests covering only this op).
- The "SDPA PyTorch Custom Op (Experimental)" section of
  docs/operations/Attention.md, the README bullet, and the stale `sdpa.py`
  example reference in docs/adding_torch_custom_ops.md.

The three e2e benchmarks that used it now call `torch.ops.cudnn.sdpa_fwd`
directly. Both arms are inference-only (`requires_grad_(False)`, no
`.backward()`), and the op covers what they need: Qwen-Image passes
`seq_len_q`/`seq_len_kv` (padded), Qwen3.8 runs the full causal window
(`window_size` defaults to `(-1, -1)`, and its torch A/B arm already rejects
anything else). Both now raise explicitly on `dropout_p`, and Qwen3.8 raises
on a right window bound, rather than silently ignoring either.

Stacked on NVIDIA#517 because of that last part: the benchmarks cannot move off the
experimental op until its replacement exists, so this must merge after it.

Verified: `cudnn` and `cudnn.experimental.ops` import cleanly with the lazy
moe/swiglu aliases intact and `scaled_dot_product_attention` gone; all three
benchmark scripts compile; `test_cudnn_sdpa_torch_ops.py` 19 passed; full
test/python collection clean (54773 collected, no import errors).

Resolve the optional scale before calling torch.ops.cudnn.sdpa_fwd.

Both adapter parameters default to None, but the sdpa_fwd schema requires float attn_scale. Resolve softmax_scale and scale to 1.0 / math.sqrt(query.shape[-1]) before the direct calls.

_check_same_device skips the main io tensors in both ops. Both call sites pass only auxiliary operands, so a k, v, or o on another CUDA device reaches cuDNN as a foreign device pointer and faults with an illegal memory access instead of the helper's clear error.

Normalize scale=None before calling torch.ops.cudnn.sdpa_fwd.

cudnn_dispatch passes scale directly, and the Qwen caller can leave it as None. The registered cudnn::sdpa_fwd schema requires a non-optional float, so the default cuDNN path can fail during operator argument validation. Use 1.0 / math.sqrt(qt.shape[-1]) when scale is None.

In `@benchmark/e2e/Qwen-Image/run_model.py` around lines 244 - 248, Update the
Qwen caller around torch.ops.cudnn.sdpa_fwd to replace a None scale with 1.0
divided by the square root of qt.shape[-1] before dispatch; preserve explicitly
provided scale values and pass the resulting non-optional float to
cudnn::sdpa_fwd.
