From 93e6013f96a0131b42b6d42c4726e9e95ce10f5c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: carlushuang Date: Sun, 10 May 2026 00:54:29 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 01/42] models: add Mistral3 (Ministral 3) text-only support Adds support for Mistral3ForConditionalGeneration HF checkpoints (Ministral-3 3B/8B/14B from mistralai). The text backbone is architecturally identical to Llama (GQA, RMSNorm, RoPE, SwiGLU MLP), so the new Mistral3ForCausalLM subclasses LlamaForCausalLM and adds only the multimodal-checkpoint glue: * Mistral3TextOnly wraps Mistral3ForCausalLM as language_model and skips Pixtral vision encoder + multimodal projector weights via skip_weight_prefixes. * _get_text_atom_config swaps atom_config.hf_config for the inner text_config so LlamaForCausalLM reads the right attributes. Three supporting fixes are bundled because the model cannot load without them: 1. atom/config.py: register "mistral3" in _MULTIMODAL_MODEL_TYPES so get_hf_config flattens text_config (otherwise the loader would read attributes off the outer Mistral3Config and miss num_hidden_layers). 2. atom/quant_spec.py:_infer_qtype: honor weight_block_size explicitly. The Mistral FP8 native checkpoints set this key to null (per-tensor scales), but the regex fallback was matching the substring "block" in the key name and incorrectly classifying per-tensor FP8 as block-FP8 -- leading to a 0-dim narrow crash during weight load. 3. atom/model_engine/model_runner.py: register Mistral3ForConditionalGeneration (multimodal wrapper) and MistralForCausalLM (plain text-only) in support_model_arch_dict. Verified end-to-end on a gfx1201 host (RX 9070 XT): model loads and all 3 safetensors shards bind. Forward pass on this arch is blocked by a separate aiter-prebuilt-binary issue tracked in a follow-up. --- atom/config.py | 1 + atom/model_engine/model_runner.py | 2 + atom/models/mistral3.py | 96 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ atom/quant_spec.py | 12 ++++ 4 files changed, 111 insertions(+) create mode 100644 atom/models/mistral3.py diff --git a/atom/config.py b/atom/config.py index d5de8e112..b3d698f1b 100644 --- a/atom/config.py +++ b/atom/config.py @@ -512,6 +512,7 @@ def _remap_layer_name(name: str) -> list[str]: "kimi_k25": "text_config", "qwen3_5": "text_config", "qwen3_5_moe": "text_config", + "mistral3": "text_config", } # multimodal models fully supported by plugin mode diff --git a/atom/model_engine/model_runner.py b/atom/model_engine/model_runner.py index 5199912d0..bb494039b 100644 --- a/atom/model_engine/model_runner.py +++ b/atom/model_engine/model_runner.py @@ -67,6 +67,8 @@ "KimiK25ForConditionalGeneration": "atom.models.kimi_k25.KimiK25ForCausalLM", "MiniMaxM2ForCausalLM": "atom.models.minimax_m2.MiniMaxM2ForCausalLM", "MiMoV2FlashForCausalLM": "atom.models.mimo_v2_flash.MiMoV2FlashForCausalLM", + "Mistral3ForConditionalGeneration": "atom.models.mistral3.Mistral3TextOnly", + "MistralForCausalLM": "atom.models.mistral3.Mistral3ForCausalLM", } # seed = 34567 # np.random.seed(seed) diff --git a/atom/models/mistral3.py b/atom/models/mistral3.py new file mode 100644 index 000000000..041b6e161 --- /dev/null +++ b/atom/models/mistral3.py @@ -0,0 +1,96 @@ +# SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT +# Copyright (C) 2026, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

On gfx1201 (RDNA4) the first paged-attention HIP load fails with "No compatible code objects found for: gfx1201" and SIGSEGVs the ModelRunner subprocess before any forward pass runs. This commit lays down the integration scaffold for an in-tree attention backend that does not depend on the AITER prebuilt modules. It is NOT a working backend yet -- prepare_decode / build_for_cudagraph_capture / TorchNativeAttentionImpl.forward all raise NotImplementedError with explicit pointers to the next sub-task. See the module docstring for the TODO-1..TODO-8 breakdown. What does work today: * atom/model_ops/attentions/torch_native_attn.py: new file with TorchNativeBackend, TorchNativeMetadataBuilder (subclass of CommonAttentionBuilder so prepare_prefill is inherited as-is), and TorchNativeAttentionImpl stub. * atom/utils/selector.py: get_attn_backend_cls now routes to the torch-native backend when running on gfx1201, or when ATOM_TORCH_NATIVE_ATTN=1 is set on any device for testing. Verified on gfx1201 (RX 9070 XT): the original SIGSEGV at aiter.get_pa_metadata_info_v1 is gone -- the metadata builder initializes cleanly.

When the selected attention backend is the new TORCH_NATIVE_ATTENTION (gfx1201 path), forward calls self.impl.forward instead of torch.ops.aiter.unified_attention_with_output_base, passing query/key/value/positions/kv_cache/layer_name through. 2) atom/model_ops/attentions/torch_native_attn.py: replaces the previous stub TorchNativeAttentionImpl with a real prefill-only forward: reshape q/k/v into per-head tensors, optionally apply RoPE, repeat- interleave KV heads for GQA, then run F.scaled_dot_product_attention per sequence using cu_seqlens_q from the inherited prefill metadata builder. Sliding window is honored via an explicit boolean mask. Decode and KV-cache writes remain TODO -- prefill alone is enough for ModelRunner.warmup_model. 3) atom/model_ops/layernorm.py: rmsnorm2d_fwd_ and rmsnorm2d_fwd_with_add_ now detect gfx1201 once at import and substitute a pure-torch RMSNorm. The aiter prebuilt rmsnorm HIP kernel was the first SIGSEGV after model load on this arch (No compatible code objects found for: gfx1201). With this fallback, the model now reaches the qkv_proj of layer 0 before tripping the next missing aiter HIP module (FP8 GEMM in linear.py; tracked in NEXT_SESSION). Verified on gfx1201 (RX 9070 XT) with --enforce-eager --level 0 --kv_cache_dtype bf16: ModelRunner.warmup_model reaches [probe llama] layer 0 start -> [probe attn] qkv_proj start before the next aiter HIP load fails. RMSNorm fallback is no-op on other archs (gated by gcnArchName check, cached after first call). --- .../model_ops/attentions/torch_native_attn.py | 269 +++++++++++------- atom/model_ops/layernorm.py | 28 ++ atom/model_ops/paged_attention.py | 13 + 3 files changed, 205 insertions(+), 105 deletions(-) diff --git a/atom/model_ops/attentions/torch_native_attn.py b/atom/model_ops/attentions/torch_native_attn.py index 582f33462..59bbab316 100644 --- a/atom/model_ops/attentions/torch_native_attn.py +++ b/atom/model_ops/attentions/torch_native_attn.py @@ -3,67 +3,37 @@ """Torch-native attention backend for ATOM. -Purpose -------- -Provide an attention backend that does not depend on AITER's prebuilt HIP -.so files.

From e2a0e1bbf82c7fd3af7d0929af6e04eeb32dcd38 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: carlushuang Date: Sun, 10 May 2026 10:27:02 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 06/42] model_ops: gfx1201 fallbacks for FP8 GEMM, SiLU+Mul, sampler Three more torch / native fallbacks plus a KV-budget fix; together they let ATOM complete one prefill of Mistral-3-8B end-to-end on gfx1201 (RX 9070 XT). The pipeline now runs: load -> warmup_model (3.27s, 16384 tokens) -> engine_core ready -> first real request prefill (10491 tokens, all 34 layers, sampler) -> NotImplementedError at our explicit prepare_decode boundary. Decode + KV-cache write are the only remaining pieces. Per-op fallback summary: * atom/model_ops/linear.py: per-tensor FP8 GEMM (`tgemm.mm`, dispatched to aiter HIP) is replaced by `_fp8_per_tensor_linear_torch`: dequant weight FP8 -> fp32 -> otype, dequant x if FP8, then `F.linear`. The dynamic FP8 quant call (`quant_func`) is also skipped on gfx1201 so the fallback can consume BF16 inputs directly. * atom/model_ops/activation.py: SiluAndMul.forward routes to the existing pure-torch `forward_native` on gfx1201 instead of the aiter prebuilt `silu_and_mul` HIP kernel. * atom/model_ops/sampler.py: `_temperature_sample` substitutes a torch Gumbel-max + argmax for `mixed_sample_outer_exponential` (aiter HIP) on gfx1201. Greedy collapses cleanly via `temperatures.clamp(min=eps)`. * atom/model_ops/attentions/torch_native_attn.py: TorchNativeMetadataBuilder now overrides `compute_block_bytes` so `engine_core.get_num_blocks` does not ZeroDivisionError when sizing the KV pool. The pool itself still isn't allocated by us (decode is TODO), but a non-zero placeholder is enough to boot the engine. All gfx1201 detection follows the same cached-attribute pattern used in the RMSNorm fallback (commit c983d98); on every other arch the fallbacks are a no-op early return.

From b277edc34bad340add47c9896eca542467637bc6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: carlushuang Date: Sun, 10 May 2026 11:45:07 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 08/42] attn: full prefill + decode + KV cache; FP8 dequant uint8 reinterpret Brings the gfx1201 torch-native attention backend up to a working chat generation: real prefill, real decode, real paged KV cache writes/reads. Fixes the FP8 dequantization that produced gibberish in the previous commit. Two real bugs fixed: 1) atom/model_ops/linear.py: AITER stores FP8 weights as raw torch.uint8 bytes, not as torch.float8_e4m3fn. The previous fallback did `weight.to(float32)` which interpreted bytes 0..255 as integers (so weight values came out around 100x too large with std ~65). Now we `weight.view(torch.float8_e4m3fn).to(float32)` to recover the actual encoded floats. Also handles per-partition weight_scale shape (P, 1) for fused linears (QKV / gate_up). 2) atom/model_ops/attentions/torch_native_attn.py: replace the prefill- only stub with a real implementation: - allocate_kv_cache_tensors: real BF16 paged KV pool of shape [2, num_layers, num_blocks, block_size, num_kv_heads, head_dim]. - build_kv_cache_tensor: bind per-layer slices to each MHA module and to module.impl so our impl can read them. - prepare_decode: build the AttentionMetaData (slot_mapping, context_lens, block_tables, cu_seqlens_q, max_seqlen_k) from the decode batch. - forward: write the new K/V into the cache via slot_mapping in both prefill and decode; for decode, gather past K/V via block_tables and run F.scaled_dot_product_attention per request. GQA is handled with repeat_interleave; sliding window with an explicit boolean mask. Verified end-to-end on gfx1201 (RX 9070 XT) with prompt "The capital of France is" -> "Paris, and the capital of the United States is Washington, D.C. The capital of the United Kingdom is London, and the capital of Canada is Ottawa." (greedy, 32 tokens). TPOT ~0.28 s/token at this point (slow, all-torch decode); the first correctness milestone, not yet a performance one. --- .../model_ops/attentions/torch_native_attn.py | 440 +++++++++++++----- atom/model_ops/linear.py | 47 +- 2 files changed, 359 insertions(+), 128 deletions(-) diff --git a/atom/model_ops/attentions/torch_native_attn.py b/atom/model_ops/attentions/torch_native_attn.py index 7d1fc9a1a..893dd71df 100644 --- a/atom/model_ops/attentions/torch_native_attn.py +++ b/atom/model_ops/attentions/torch_native_attn.py @@ -1,39 +1,47 @@ # SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT # Copyright (C) 2026, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

The aiter kernel ships a gfx1201 path; only the per-arch tuning JSON was missing -- those are created at runtime by symlinking gfx1250 (sibling RDNA4) configs to gfx1201 inside the docker image (one-shot setup, not part of the repo). Wiring: * atom/model_ops/linear.py: `_fp8_per_tensor_linear_torch` first tries the new `_fp8_per_tensor_linear_triton` path: - dynamic per-tensor quantize x (BF16 -> FP8 via x_scale = max(|x|)/fp8_max) - reinterpret weight uint8 -> torch.float8_e4m3fn (zero-copy view) - broadcast weight_scale to per-output-channel for the kernel (handles single-scalar, per-partition (P,1), and per-channel layouts) - call gemm_a8w8(x_q, w_q, x_scale, w_scale, bias=bias, dtype=otype) Falls back to the existing torch dequant path if triton is unavailable or raises (so non-gfx1201 archs and edge cases still work).

JIT-compiles per arch and works on gfx1201 with the symlinked tuning configs. Layout change ------------- The aiter kernel expects `[num_blocks, num_kv_heads, block_size, head_dim]` (heads-before-block-size). Previously we used `[num_blocks, block_size, num_kv_heads, head_dim]` to match my flat slot indexing. This commit pivots: * allocate_kv_cache_tensors now allocates in aiter layout. * _write_kv_cache uses advanced indexing `cache[block_idx, :, within, :] = k_new` to scatter new tokens into the per-block per-head per-position slots. * _gather_kv_for_request (used by the torch fallback decode) does `index_select` then `permute(0, 2, 1, 3).reshape(...)` to produce the (T, H, D) view SDPA wants. Decode path ----------- * New triton path: build int32 `seq_lens` and `block_tables` views, cache (1.0, 1.0) BF16-KV scale tensors per impl, call `paged_attention_decode(out, q, k_cache, v_cache, seq_lens, block_tables, scale, max_seqlen_k, tl.bfloat16, k_scale, v_scale)`. * Falls back to the torch gather + per-request SDPA loop on any exception, when sliding window is active (kernel doesn't support it), or when KV cache hasn't been allocated yet.

One program per row; trailing-dim must be a power of two and <= 16384 (Mistral-3 hidden=4096 satisfies). Falls back to torch otherwise. Per-call bench (N=128, D=4096): torch RMSNorm : 0.073 ms triton RMSNorm : 0.011 ms (6.6x faster, BF16-noise correctness) 3) atom/model_ops/activation.py — triton SiLU+Mul -------------------------------------------------- Replaces SiluAndMul.forward_native with a chunked triton kernel that handles arbitrary HALF_D (Mistral-3 intermediate=14336 is not pow2). Per-call bench (N=64, full_d=28672): torch F.silu(a) * b : 0.038 ms triton SiLU+Mul : 0.012 ms (3.1x faster, BF16-noise correctness) Caveat — CUDAGraph capture not yet enabled ------------------------------------------- The cudagraph foundation is in place but capture still fails: the engine's per-bs warmup forward (called inside graph_capture()) runs ALL triton kernels for shapes never seen before (decode bs=1/2/4), each of which triggers JIT compile via hipModuleLoad. hipModuleLoad is not capturable, so the warmup forward fails with "operation not permitted when stream is capturing". The pre-warm helper added here covers paged_attention_decode but not the FP8 GEMMs, kv-write, RMSNorm, or SiLU+Mul kernels at decode shapes. A complete fix needs a full-model decode-forward warmup on a non- capturing stream BEFORE capture_cudagraph enters its capture context; that's a multi-place engine integration that didn't fit this round.

This pre-JIT-compiles every triton kernel hit by the decode forward (FP8 GEMM, kv-write, RMSNorm, SiLU+Mul, paged_attn_decode, lm_head GEMM) at the exact (shape, dtype, stride) tuple the captured graph will use. Without this, the engine's warmup hits hipModuleLoad on the capturing stream and fails with hipErrorStreamCaptureUnsupported. 2) Bypass paged_attention_decode wrapper to avoid k_scale.item() sync --------------------------------------------------------------------- The aiter wrapper does k_scale.item() / v_scale.item() on EVERY call, not just the first. That GPU->CPU sync is not allowed during cudagraph capture. Replaced with a small in-tree dispatcher that mirrors the wrapper's v1/v2 selection logic but takes Python float scales (BF16 KV: identity 1.0/1.0); routes to paged_attn_decode_v1 or paged_attn_decode_v2 directly. 3) Stub kv_indptr buffer ------------------------ TorchNativeMetadataBuilder.__init__ now allocates a 1-element kv_indptr CpuGpuBuffer so ModelRunner.capture_cudagraph()'s unconditional forward_vars["kv_indptr"].gpu.zero_() doesn't KeyError on this backend. Bench (Ministral-3-8B-Instruct-2512, gfx1201, bs=1, single prompt): Eager: TPOT 0.033 s/tok, TTFT 0.21 s CUDAGraph: TPOT 0.025 s/tok, TTFT 0.06 s (24% TPOT, 3.3x TTFT) gsm8k 5-shot accuracy preserved with cudagraph at bs<=2: cudagraph-capture-sizes=[1,2], num_concurrent=2, n=200: strict 0.765, flex 0.765 (eager baseline 0.785/0.785, both within +/- 0.030 stderr) Caveat — captured graphs at decode bs >= 4 corrupt logits --------------------------------------------------------- The captured bs=4 graph emits a wrong logit at the first decode step after prefill, almost always sampling EOS or a stop token; gsm8k n=200, num_concurrent=4 collapses to 0.005 strict. bs=1 and bs=2 graphs are correct. Investigated and ruled out: the v2 dispatch (v1- only forced is also broken), the pre-warm (capture works without it and bs=4 still breaks), and JIT-during-capture (capture succeeds; v1/v2 kernels both produce correct output in eager at the same bs=4). Root cause is still open. Workaround documented in recipes/Ministral-3-8B.md: pass to opt into the supported window.

Previously we were spawning a fresh side stream, which means autotune/JIT happened on a stream the capture would never see. - Runs the full decode forward TWICE instead of once: 1st pass: triggers triton JIT (hipModuleLoad) and any first-call autotune sync. 2nd pass: stabilizes the graph-mempool allocator. By call 2, every torch.empty()/torch.empty_like() lands at the same pool slot the captured graph will then reference at replay. Skipping pass 2 is the documented AMD-specific pitfall: HIP graph capture does NOT raise on illegal-during-capture ops the way CUDA does (pytorch#155684) — capture appears clean but the graph holds stale pointers and corrupts at replay. Sources for the pattern: - PyTorch cuda.rst (`s.wait_stream` + warmup-then-capture idiom) - SGLang cuda_graph_runner.py (`for _ in range(2): run_once()`) - PyTorch blog: enabling vllm v1 on AMD GPUs with triton Status of bs >= 3 cudagraph corruption (still open): This change does NOT fix the bs >= 3 captured-graph correctness bug. Investigated and ruled out as causes: - v2 internal torch.empty() allocations (forced v1-only also broken) - prewarm itself (engine reaches capture without it; bs >= 3 still breaks; the prewarm-on-side-stream pattern is also fixed here) - lm_head being captured (logits_in_graph=False also broken) - autotune (gemm_a8w8 has no @triton.autotune; `_get_config` returns NUM_KSPLIT=1 for all our (M, N, K) so no per-bs binary divergence) - JIT during capture (capture succeeds; eager at the same bs gets gsm8k 0.785; both paths use the same cached kernel binaries) bs=1 and bs=2 captured graphs remain correct. bs >= 3 captured graphs silently corrupt the first decode-step logit (~always sampling EOS), collapsing gsm8k from 0.785 to <0.05. Workaround documented in the recipe stays the same: `--cudagraph-capture-sizes "[1,2]"`. The remaining hypothesis is HIP-level: the captured graph at bs >= 3 is replaying with mismatched memory addresses despite the graph pool being shared. That would be consistent with sglang#1558 / sglang#19799 (triton + cudagraph + ROCm corruption).

Of that ~15% was the per-call "prepare gemm_a8w8 inputs" overhead — abs/amax/clamp/div/cast to build x_q + cat/expand/contiguous to build w_scale_full. 1) Fuse the dynamic per-tensor FP8 quant of x: The chain x.abs().amax().to(fp32).clamp_(min=1e-12) -> x_scale (x.to(fp32) / x_scale).clamp_(-fp8_max, fp8_max).to(fp8_dtype) -> x_q is now a single triton kernel call to aiter's dynamic_per_tensor_quant_fp8_i8 (one launch instead of ~6). GOTCHA: the kernel uses tl.atomic_max to accumulate scale_out, so the buffer must be ZERO-INITIALIZED. torch.empty(1) leaves uninitialized memory and a >0 garbage value silently wins the atomic_max, producing gibberish ("(A)temm344444444444"). Fixed by using torch.zeros(1). 2) Cache per-channel weight_scale expansion: _build_w_scale_full does cat/expand/contiguous to project a per- partition (P, 1) weight scale into the (1, N) layout gemm_a8w8 wants. The result is constant per layer (depends only on weight_scale + output_partition_sizes), so we cache it on the weight_scale tensor via a _atom_w_scale_full attribute.

We are at 56% of roofline / 90% of the realistic consumer-GPU ceiling. 2. **Cross-GPU comparison table** for 8B FP8 / Q4 LLM at decode bs=1, with HBM bandwidth, FP8 8B roofline, observed bs=1 tok/s, and percentage of roofline: MI300X (5.3 TB/s): ~150-250 tok/s (25-35% of 670 roofline) H100 SXM (3.35 TB/s): ~180-250 (45-60% of 415) RTX 4090 (1 TB/s): 131-150 (~100% of 125 Q4) RX 7900 XTX (0.96 TB/s): 60-70 (~50% of 120) RX 9070 XT published Q4 baseline: 30-50 RX 9070 XT this build (FP8): 45 = 56% of 80 roofline Per-byte efficiency is ~2x llama.cpp's published Q4 number on the same GPU, despite our path reading 2x as much weight per step. Also rewrites the per-op backend table to reflect the triton-only reality (no torch fallback rows; static-quant column noting Mistral-3 ships activation_scheme=static but no input_scale tensors so we use the dynamic per-tensor path). Remaining roofline gap (~7.9 ms / step on GPU): dominated by gemm_a8w8 overhead (6.1 ms) due to BLOCK_SIZE_M=64 even at M=1 (63/64 of M-tile wasted). Closing it would need a bs=1-specialized GEMM kernel — aiter gluon variant exists but is CDNA4-only, no RDNA4 build.

At decode bs=1 with M=1, GROUP_SIZE_M=4 allocates 4 M-tiles per group when only 1 is real — wasting 75% of M-dim launch slots.

Production impact (re-profiled E2E in cudagraph mode): - Total GPU kernel time per 49-step trace: 1000 ms -> 967 ms - gemm_a8w8 alone: 720 ms -> 675 ms (-45 ms) - Per decode step: ~0.7 ms saved (gemm_a8w8 falls from ~14.7 to ~14.0 ms) - TPOT: 0.022 -> 0.022 s/tok (within timing noise; cudagraph already hides the per-call launch overhead, so the reduction shows in GPU time accounting more than wallclock) Why production gain is smaller than the standalone bench predicted: production layers run sequentially with some L2 reuse from the previous layer's residual / RMSNorm, so the production "default" was already faster than a fresh-random-weight cold-cache call. Bench-default 163 us for qkv vs production 58 us. The bench overestimated headroom. Real per-shape headroom against the memory roofline (640 GB/s): gate_up: roofline 184 us, actual 209 us (88%) -> ~25 us headroom/call down: roofline 92 us, actual 106 us (87%) -> ~14 us headroom/call qkv: roofline 39 us, actual 56 us (70%) -> ~17 us headroom/call o: roofline 26 us, actual 38 us (68%) -> ~12 us headroom/call Total: ~2.3 ms TPOT headroom across 34 layers if every GEMM hit roofline exactly. Verified: gsm8k 5-shot, n=200, num_concurrent=2, cudagraph captured at [1, 2]: strict 0.765, flex 0.765 (matches the 0.785 n=200 eager baseline within +/- 0.030 stderr). What was tried but doesn't apply on gfx1201: - aiter HIP CK preshuffle GEMMs (gemm_a8w8_bpreshuffle_ck, gemm_a8w8_bpreshuffle_cktile, gemm_a8w8_asm w/ bpreshuffle): all CDNA-only; bpreshuffle_ck returns "This GEMM is not supported!" on gfx1201, bpreshuffle_cktile segfaults (uses MFMA), asm is HIP assembly written for CDNA. - aiter triton blockscale_preshuffle: requires per-block scales (a different quant scheme); Mistral-3 is per-tensor FP8. - aiter gluon gemm_a8w8: CDNA4-only. For per-tensor FP8 on gfx1201 there is no preshuffle path in aiter; the only available lever is gemm_a8w8 config tuning, captured here. --- atom/model_ops/linear.py | 52 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 51 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/atom/model_ops/linear.py b/atom/model_ops/linear.py index ac5089840..2eff995d5 100644 --- a/atom/model_ops/linear.py +++ b/atom/model_ops/linear.py @@ -110,6 +110,52 @@ def _get_aiter_dynamic_per_tensor_quant(): return fn if fn is not False else None +def _gfx1201_gemm_a8w8_config(M: int, N: int, K: int) -> dict: + """Hand-tuned config for aiter triton `gemm_a8w8` on gfx1201 (RDNA4). + + aiter's `_get_config` returns a CDNA-tuned default (BLOCK_SIZE_M=64, + GROUP_SIZE_M=4).

Aiter's pa_decode_v1/v2 kernels with `seq_len=0` run zero loop iterations and end with `acc /= exp_sum` where `exp_sum` stayed 0 -> 0/0 = NaN. That NaN in the padded slot's attn_out then propagated through the per-tensor FP8 quant of attn_out (amax(... NaN ...) = NaN -> the entire batch's x_scale = NaN -> every downstream gemm_a8w8 output = NaN), corrupting all real slots. Symptom: wrong logit at the first decode step, model emitted a stop token, request finished after one token. Why earlier bisection missed it: when scheduled_bs == captured_bs (36-layer standalone chain test, 4 simultaneous curl calls hitting the bs=4 graph) no padding happens, so the bug never reproduces. Only lm_eval with its variable scheduled_bs over 200 requests reliably triggers partial batches that get padded. Fix (in prepare_decode): var["context_lens"].np[scheduled_bs:bs] = 1 # was 0 -> NaN With seq_len=1 the kernel runs exactly one loop iteration, reads one garbage K/V from block_tables[i, 0] = 0 (which points at real but unrelated KV — fine, the padded row's output is discarded by the engine which only reads outputs[:scheduled_bs]), and produces a finite attn_out. slot_mapping stays at -1 so our kv-write kernel's sentinel still skips the write (otherwise we'd overwrite slot 0's real KV data). Verification (gsm8k 5-shot, n=200, default cudagraph capture set [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 48, 64, 128, 256]): num_concurrent=4: strict 0.815, flex 0.815 (was 0.005) num_concurrent=8: strict 0.760, flex 0.760 (was 0.005) Both at or above the eager baseline of 0.785. Padding-driven concurrency=1..3 with bs=4 captured graph also tested via curl; all produce correct, deterministic, coherent output where pre-fix they all returned a single token then stopped.

Root cause: `prepare_decode` padded `context_lens` to 0 + for slots `[scheduled_bs:bs]` when the engine padded a partial + batch up to a captured cudagraph size. Aiter's pa_decode_v1/v2 + kernels with `seq_len=0` run zero loop iterations and end with + `acc /= exp_sum` where `exp_sum` stayed 0 -> `0/0 = NaN`. That NaN + in the padded slot's attn_out then propagated through the per-tensor + FP8 quant of `attn_out` (`amax(... NaN ...) = NaN` -> the entire + batch's `x_scale` became NaN -> every downstream `gemm_a8w8` output + NaN), corrupting all real slots. Symptom: wrong logit at the first + decode step, model emitted a stop token, request finished after one + token. + + The reason a long simple bisection didn't find it earlier: when + scheduled_bs == captured_bs (e.g., the standalone 36-layer chain + test, or 4 simultaneous curl calls hitting the bs=4 graph), no + padding ever happens, so the bug doesn't reproduce. Only lm_eval + with its variable scheduled_bs over 200 requests reliably triggers + partial batches that get padded. + + Fix (in `prepare_decode`): pad `context_lens` to `1` instead of `0` + for `[scheduled_bs:bs]`. With seq_len=1 the kernel runs exactly one + loop iteration, reads one garbage K/V from `block_tables[i, 0] = 0` + (which points at real but unrelated KV — fine, the padded row's + output is discarded by the engine which only reads + `outputs[:scheduled_bs]`), and produces a finite attn_out. Slot + mapping stays at -1 so our kv-write kernel's sentinel still skips + the write (otherwise we'd overwrite slot 0's real KV). + + Verification: gsm8k 5-shot, n=200 with the default cudagraph capture + set `[1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 48, 64, 128, 256]`: + num_concurrent=4: strict 0.815, flex 0.815 (was 0.005) + num_concurrent=8: strict 0.760, flex 0.760 (was 0.005) + Both at or above the eager baseline of 0.785. * **TP=2 not yet usable on this host**: tried both transport paths; both fail on the same root cause — HIP IPC needs `iommu=pt` on the host kernel cmdline.

Block-128 FP8 on gfx1201 cannot use the standard gemm_a8w8_blockscale_preshuffle kernel because Triton on this build does not implement tl.dot(fp8, fp8). The a16w8 blockscale kernel sidesteps this by casting FP8 weight to BF16 inside the kernel and doing tl.dot(bf16, bf16) which is supported. Weight stays FP8 in DRAM, x stays BF16, no activation quant needed. Changes: * quant_spec.py: weight_block_size=[128,128] now maps to QuantType.per_1x128 (the per_128x128 enum has zero consumers in the codebase; per_1x128 already allocates the right (out//128, in//128) scale grid). * linear.py: new gfx1201 branch in the per_1x128 dispatch that calls aiter triton gemm_a16w8_blockscale with a custom config (BLOCK_N=64 to fit gfx1201s 64 KiB shared mem). Disable shuffle_weights() for per_1x128 on gfx1201 since the a16w8 kernel wants plain (N, K) layout. * recipes/Qwen3-8B-FP8.md: serve commands, env vars, perf+accuracy table, side-by-side vs Ministral-3-8B, debug journey notes. --- atom/model_ops/linear.py | 68 +++++++++++++++++- atom/quant_spec.py | 5 +- recipes/Qwen3-8B-FP8.md | 152 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 221 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) create mode 100644 recipes/Qwen3-8B-FP8.md diff --git a/atom/model_ops/linear.py b/atom/model_ops/linear.py index 80023fb50..1dc49f050 100644 --- a/atom/model_ops/linear.py +++ b/atom/model_ops/linear.py @@ -6,6 +6,7 @@ from typing import Callable, Optional import torch +import functools from aiter import ( QuantType, dtypes, @@ -309,6 +310,30 @@ def use_triton_gemm() -> bool: else: gemm_afp4wfp4_preshuffle = None gemm_a8w8_blockscale_bpreshuffle_triton = None + + +@functools.lru_cache(maxsize=4) +def _get_triton_a16w8_blockscale(): + """Lazy import of aiter's triton a16w8 blockscale GEMM. + + Signature: (x_bf16, w_fp8, w_scale, dtype=bf16) -> y_bf16 + x: (M, K) BF16 + w: (N, K) FP8 (must be viewed as torch.float8_e4m3fn, not uint8 — the + kernel does `b.to(bf16)` which only works numerically on a real FP8 + dtype pointer) + w_scale: (N/128, K/128) FP32 + + Used on gfx1201 because Triton on this build doesn't support + tl.dot(fp8, fp8). a16w8 path casts FP8 weights to BF16 inside the kernel, + so the dot is bf16xbf16 — fully supported. + """ + from aiter.ops.triton.gemm.basic.gemm_a16w8_blockscale import ( + gemm_a16w8_blockscale, + ) + + return gemm_a16w8_blockscale + + from atom.model_ops.utils import MXFP4_QUANT_BLOCK_SIZE # noqa @@ -642,6 +667,10 @@ def process_weights_after_loading(self): # per_1x128 only needs shuffle when using the preshuffle GEMM path if not need_shuffle and self.quant_type == QuantType.per_1x128: need_shuffle = envs.ATOM_FP8_BLOCKSCALE_WEIGHT_PRESHUFFLE + # gfx1201: we use the a16w8 blockscale kernel which expects the + # plain (N, K) weight layout — never preshuffle on this arch. + if _is_gfx1201_linear(): + need_shuffle = False if need_shuffle: if self.weight.dim() == 2: shuffle_weights(self.weight) @@ -733,7 +762,38 @@ def forward( if self.bias is not None: y += self.bias elif self.quant_type.value == QuantType.per_1x128.value: - if envs.ATOM_FP8_BLOCKSCALE_WEIGHT_PRESHUFFLE: + if _is_gfx1201_linear(): + # gfx1201: Triton on this build doesn't support + # tl.dot(fp8, fp8), so we use aiter's a16w8 blockscale GEMM + # which casts FP8 weight -> BF16 inside the kernel and runs + # tl.dot(bf16, bf16). x stays BF16, no activation quant + # needed, weight stays FP8 in memory (no extra bandwidth). + a16w8 = _get_triton_a16w8_blockscale() + # Weight is stored as torch.uint8 (aiter's d_dtypes['fp8'] + # convention).

Both JIT cleanly on gfx1201. Drops the two @triton.jit kernels we maintained in atom/model_ops/layernorm.py and the dim power-of-two check (aiter handles arbitrary trailing dims). Why the lean variant matters: the public rms_norm() goes through torch.autograd.Function.apply per call (~125 us Python overhead). For Mistral-3 with one hidden-dim norm per layer (4096) the overhead is amortized across the GEMMs; for Qwen3 with q_norm+k_norm (dim=128) called 72x per decode step it costs ~9 ms of TPOT (42 percent regression).

Findings: * down_proj (K=14336): switch BLOCK_SIZE_M=16/N=128 -> 32/64. Kernel-level 7-12 percent faster at bs=4 and bs=32, equal at other bs. End-to-end TPOT impact within noise; commit for the kernel-level win + cleaner cross-bs behavior. * qkv/o/gate_up: prior pinned configs are within 1-2 percent of optimal across all bs we tested. No changes. * SPLITK_BLOCK_SIZE MUST be >= K when NUM_KSPLIT=1 — a smaller value silently truncates the K-loop and produces numerically wrong output (caught by the new bench scripts correctness gate). Documented in the helper. New tool: scripts/gfx1201/gemm_a8w8_sweep.py — sweeps the 4 Mistral-3 GEMM shapes across 6 candidate configs and 6 batch sizes, with a reference-vs-kernel correctness check that filters phantom-fast-but-wrong configs. Drop-in for re-tuning when aiter or the GPU stack updates.
