Summary

Model-level context

On one NVIDIA B200, BF16 batch-one forward+backward proxies measured the following incumbent-to-optimized ratios with the broader optimized feature stack enabled:

proxy scope 8K tokens 16K tokens 32K tokens
Qwen3.5-9B, 32-layer decoder backbone 1.1530x 1.1722x 1.1931x
Qwen3.8-27B, 64-layer decoder backbone 1.1354x 1.1967x 1.0898x
GLM-5.3-Flash, 34-layer KDA substack 1.0732x 1.0950x 1.0966x
Kimi-K3, official-count feature substack 1.3567x 1.3238x 1.2189x

These are combined-stack proxy results, not marginal speedups attributable to this PR and not assembled-model throughput. Qwen also changes GDN, SwiGLU, and SDPA; GLM also changes KDA; Kimi also changes KDA and SiTU. Each proxy exercises the full-sequence causal-convolution path landed here.

This PR adds one semantic causal-convolution family:

  • cudnn.ops.causal_conv1d: native BF16 width-four SiLU full-sequence forward/backward, dense or cu_seqlens packed, optional bias and mathematical W - 1 initial/final state;
  • a bias-free BF16-activation/FP32-weight specialization used by GLM linear-attention blocks;
  • cudnn.ops.causal_conv1d_update: one-token inference with in-place state mutation, identity or SiLU, optional indexed state slots, and -1 padding rows;
  • zero-copy state handoff from full-sequence execution to update; and
  • an opt-in FLA 0.5.2 short-convolution compatibility route.

The two native semantic operation entry points are public through cudnn.ops. The opt-in public compatibility surface also extends cudnn.fla.accelerate_fla(targets="short_conv") and exposes short_conv_last_path route telemetry. Compiled plans, schedules, workspaces, and the historically named *_sm100 packages remain private implementation details. The kernels are independently derived from the convolution and SiLU equations; no external causal-convolution kernel source is included.

Why

The existing generic cuDNN path accepts a broad convolution contract, but linear-attention short convolution has a narrower and performance-sensitive shape: width four, causal access, optional state, and model-native sequence-major storage. Generic planning and channels-first adaptation can erase an otherwise fast leaf kernel inside the real layer.

The native implementation consumes the model layout directly and specializes the short-width causal work. Full-sequence and update share one state-layout contract, so landing them together guarantees a direct prefill-to-update handoff. This remains a standalone semantic operation rather than a model-topology matcher in the graph API.

API and compatibility impact

cudnn.ops.causal_conv1d preserves the existing [B, D, T] API and adds keyword-only packed/state arguments. Existing dense/stateless calls retain the generic cuDNN route when they do not match the optimized contract. The native route covers BF16 width-four SiLU with optional BF16 bias, plus dense bias-free FP32 weights. seq_idx is reserved and currently declines explicitly.

Dense state is [B, D, W - 1]; packed state is [N, D, W - 1], where N = len(cu_seqlens) - 1.

cudnn.ops.causal_conv1d_update(x, conv_state, weight, bias=None, activation=None, *, cache_seqlens=None, conv_state_indices=None) accepts BF16 one-token input [N, D], mutates BF16 state [S, D, L] in place, and returns [N, D]. Width four is supported with L equal to three or four. The operation is inference-only; cache_seqlens is reserved and must be None or omitted.

Runtime correctness has been exercised on SM80, SM89, SM90, SM100, SM103, and SM120; SM86, SM87, SM110, and SM121 are compile-validated. Architecture is a schedule-selection dimension, not a semantic API gate. Performance claims in this PR are B200-only. The implementation requires nvidia-cutlass-dsl >= 4.7.0; users select the package variant matching their CUDA Toolkit.

Testing

  • private-package lazy-import smoke: passed; requesting forward does not import autograd/backward.
  • Python 3.9 grammar parse over repository Python files: passed.
  • the three post-kernel review commits (26cad8e03, 658b27632, 96c524644) change documentation, import/API metadata contracts, test scheduling, and neutral architecture wording; kernel code is unchanged from 87f68dad3.

At the unchanged kernel head 87f68dad3553cb8f325af8038c77567267bff5fb:

scope representative workload and timing boundary result

Reproduction commands:

python benchmark/causal_conv1d_bulk_bwd_perf.py --tokens 8192 --channels 2048
python benchmark/causal_conv1d_update_sm100.py --shape 1x8192

Compilation, capture, and allocation are outside the backward/update replay intervals. The full-sequence comparison uses equal contiguous [1, T, D] BF16 layouts. Update is reported as parity; its primary value here is native state compatibility rather than a speedup claim.

The focused NVIDIA B200 correctness suite at 87f68dad3 reported 88 passed, 1 warning, covering public full-sequence forward/backward, update, the state seam, real FLA compatibility, non-default streams, CUDA Graph replay, and torch.compile/FakeTensor contracts. The internal python_tests,frost pipeline was also run for that SHA.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 96c52

This PR adds public full-sequence and decode causal-convolution paths with packed-sequence and mutable-state handling. The current head still has concrete merge risks, including malformed packed metadata potentially corrupting the CUDA context, an implicit reduction-shape assumption, a lint failure, benchmark incompatibility, and inconsistent API documentation; these should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

339-341: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Skip instead of failing when no built extension module is present.

Line 340 asserts exactly one _compiled_module*.so. On a platform whose extension suffix is not .so, or in a checkout without a built extension, the glob returns zero entries and the test fails with a bare AssertionError. python/cudnn/__init__.py line 16 already shows the package supports a Windows layout. Convert the missing-extension case into a skip so the failure reason stays clear.

Consider moving the subprocess lazy-export test to a higher level.

The module-level L0 mark applies to every test in this file. test_top_level_lazy_exports_resolve_from_a_clean_source_package at lines 329-380 copies the whole python/cudnn tree with shutil.copytree and then starts a fresh interpreter.

python/cudnn/causal_conv1d_bulk_sm100/backward_kernel.py (1)

305-309: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial

The tile-map build is serialized on one thread for every backward call.

The launch uses grid=(1, 1, 1) and block=(1, 1, 1), and the kernel body walks every sequence and every tile in nested while loops with dependent cu_seqlens loads and four scalar stores per descriptor. The cost grows with packed_tile_capacity, which reaches _MAX_PACKED_SEQUENCES for many short sequences. For packed batches with thousands of sequences this pre-kernel becomes a serial, latency-bound prologue in front of a fully parallel backward, and it runs on each execute().

The reported packed measurements use three sequences, so the prologue is hidden there. Consider one thread per sequence for the validation traps plus a small parallel prefix sum over per-sequence tile counts for descriptor placement, and consider caching the map when cu_seqlens does not change between calls.

197-199: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Reduce the host memory footprint of the tile-formula test.

_support_checked_api builds x and dy with torch.zeros. With tokens=16384 and channels=8192, the two BF16 tensors memset about 537 MB of host RAM, and this test only needs shapes, strides, dtypes, and 16-byte aligned pointers. Use torch.empty in the helper so the pages stay untouched.

♻️ Proposed change in the helper
-    x = torch.zeros(batch, tokens, channels, dtype=torch.bfloat16)
-    weight = torch.zeros(channels, 4, dtype=torch.bfloat16)
-    dy = torch.zeros_like(x)

282-282: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Make the reduction grid coverage explicit.

channel has no bound check, and the launch at line 362 uses self.n_channels // self.reduction_threads. Full coverage holds only while reduction_threads divides n_channels, which is true today because check_support requires D % 512 == 0 and the v4-stream schedule entry sets reduction_threads = 128. If that schedule value changes to a divisor mismatch, the truncated grid skips trailing channels and dw_accum keeps uninitialized values with no error.

Use cute.ceil_div for the grid and guard the thread, or validate the divisibility in check_support.

♻️ Proposed guard
     channel = cutlass.Int32(cute.arch.block_idx()[0]) * cutlass.Int32(cute.arch.block_dim()[0]) + cutlass.Int32(cute.arch.thread_idx()[0])
-    partials = cute.make_tensor(
+    if channel < n_channels:
+        partials = cute.make_tensor(

Then launch with grid=(cute.ceil_div(self.n_channels, self.reduction_threads), 1, 1).

Model-callsite closure update at head 5ef3257:

  • The public causal_conv1d route now accepts the exact GLM-5.3 contract: BF16 activations, bias-free FP32 width-four weights, BF16 outputs, and FP32 weight gradients. Other mixed-dtype/bias combinations remain fail-closed.
  • The implementation commit 077fa3d has the same stable patch-id as the clean composite source used by the GLM model proxy; docs are updated in 5ef3257.
  • Focused host contract tests: 112 passed. ComputeLab B200 job 4044080, serialized step 4044080.141: three exact mixed-weight forward/backward/semantic tests passed against the independent FP32 oracle. Pre-commit passed on every changed file.

In the exact Transformers 5.16.1 GLM-5.3 KDA callsite, this route composes with native KDA in the 34-layer KDA substack. The controlled all-on fprop+bprop proxy measured 1.0732x / 1.0950x / 1.0966x at 8K / 16K / 32K versus FLA 0.5.2 KDA plus causal-conv1d 1.7.0. Those are combined KDA+conv substack results, not a marginal speedup attributed solely to this PR.

Assert the rejection reason for each invalid-contract case.

The 15 parametrized cases share one broad pytest.raises((TypeError, ValueError, RuntimeError)) with no match. A case can pass for an unrelated reason. For example, cu-device can raise a RuntimeError from a device transfer instead of from the intended contract check, and a future change to the validation order stays green.

Add the expected message per case so each case proves its own guard.

Expose full-sequence causal convolution with native forward/backward and packed/state support, plus an inference-only single-token update operation. Share architecture policy and preserve zero-copy final-state handoff between the two semantic APIs.

`@test/python/fe_api/causal_conv1d_bulk/test_causal_conv1d_bulk_contract_unit.py`:
- Line 339: The test in test_causal_conv1d_bulk_contract_unit is still inherited
by the module-level pytestmark = pytest.mark.L0, so adding `@pytest.mark.L1` does
not move it out of the fast tier. Update the marker setup so this specific test
is no longer collected by -m L0, either by moving it to a separate module or by
replacing the module-level marker with per-test markers in the surrounding test
functions while keeping the fast tests at L0 and this long-running test at L1.
