Pull request overview
This PR updates DeepSeek V3.2 sparse-MLA (“DSA”) indexing to stop relying on block_table_convert_triton and instead compute global KV indices from raw block tables using an explicit page/block size.
Changes:
- Update the DSA prefill Triton index-conversion kernel to use
PAGE_SIZE(KV cache block size) when mapping token indices to physical KV slots. - Adjust DeepSeek V2 indexer KV-cache handling to reshape by
kv_cache_block_sizeand enablepreshuffle/Preshuffleoptions in relevant AITer ops. - Disable quantization for
weights_projin the indexer path.

build_ubatch_metadata()(later in this file) still passesblock_tables_convertedwhenblock_ratio > 1, which causesAttentionMetaData.__init__to overrideblock_tables. After removingblock_table_convert_tritoncalls in this PR, those per-ubatchblock_tables_convertedbuffers are never populated, so the override will feed stale/uninitialized tables into attention for TBO/ubatch execution. Suggest either (a) stop passingblock_tables_convertedin ubatch metadata, or (b) keep populating it (or allocate it only when needed).

In sparse prefill, CommonAttentionBuilder.prepare_prefill() will pass block_tables_converted when has_cached=True, and AttentionMetaData.__init__ overrides attn_metadata.block_tables with that converted (per-token) table. After this PR, downstream DSA code paths (e.g. triton_convert_req_index_to_global_index_dsa_prefill using PAGE_SIZE) assume attn_metadata.block_tables contains raw per-page physical block IDs; leaving the converted table here will miscompute indices (effectively applying the page math twice). Consider always resetting attn_metadata.block_tables to the raw var["block_tables"] for the sparse MLA/DSA path (even when it’s already set), and ensure block_tables_converted does not override it for this backend.

…deepgemm Three changes folded into one commit (validated together GSM8K-100=0.97 ± 0.0171, baseline 8ab1367 also 0.97): 1. **preshuffle on indexer write+read** (`indexer_k_quant_and_cache` + `cp_gather_indexer_k_quant_cache`): MFMA 16x16 tile-aware FP8 cache layout, matches V3.2/PR #658 convention. Required by `deepgemm_fp8_paged_mqa_logits` for `KVBlockSize > 1`. 2. **split `Indexer.forward_batched` into prefill/decode helpers**: common path (Q proj+RoPE+rotate+FP8 quant, weights computation) stays in `forward_batched`; dispatch via `context.is_prefill` to `_score_topk_prefill` (cp_gather + fp8_mqa_logits, eager-only — variable `total_committed` shape) or `_score_topk_decode` (deepgemm, fixed-shape `[bs*next_n, max_model_len_idx]`). Mixed batches go through prefill path. `_post_process_topk` shared, branches on `is_decode` to skip the seq_base subtraction (decode topk indices are already seq-local; prefill indices are global flat positions across cu_committed). 3. **decode helper uses `deepgemm_fp8_paged_mqa_logits`**: reads paged FP8 cache directly via 4D view `[NB, k1_csa=32, 1, aligned_dim=144]`, writes into pre-`-inf`-filled logits buffer (cols beyond per-seq context_lens stay -inf so PyTorch topk doesn't pick garbage). `width_mask` masked_fill handles per-token k_per_token trimming. CUDAGraph-friendly shapes — for Phase B/C buffer pre-allocation + capture path. Builder: expose `n_committed_per_seq_gpu` (int64, [bs]) in indexer_meta — no new H2D, just lifts the existing staged tensor into the return dict for deepgemm context_lens consumption. Init-time hoist: `Indexer._max_model_len_idx = args.max_seq_len // compress_ratio` — deepgemm output column count, constant per layer. Composition validated standalone (test_decode_deepgemm_vs_fp8_mqa.py: 100% top-K overlap with `cp_gather + fp8_mqa_logits` baseline given `-inf`-init buffer). Numerical round-trip with cache_stride=144 + preshuffle validated (test_indexer_roundtrip_numerical.py: cos≥0.9995 across all num_tokens / dispatch branches). Net: +119 / -20 LoC. Phase B/C (decode logits buffer pre-alloc + build_for_cudagraph_capture) tracked separately.
#650) * feat(models): add DeepSeek-V4 PR1 skeleton with bit-exact reference parity Adds the foundational scaffolding for DeepSeek-V4-Pro support — a major architecture shift from V3.2 with mHC residuals, hybrid CSA+HCA attention, hash routing, and grouped output LoRA. PR1 ships the eager-mode model code with torch fallback kernels, validated against the official inference implementation at bit-exact parity (max_abs_diff = 0.0). Scope (PR1 only): - New atom/models/deepseek_v4.py: full Compressor / Indexer / Attention / Gate / Expert / MoE / Block / MTPBlock / ParallelHead / Transformer port (~1200 lines). Single-rank only; plain nn.Linear / nn.Embedding for now. - New atom/model_ops/sparse_attn_v4.py: torch fallbacks for sparse_attn and hc_split_sinkhorn (Sinkhorn-Knopp projection on Birkhoff polytope). - New atom/model_ops/quant_v4.py: torch fallbacks for FP8/FP4 inplace QAT round-trip and Walsh-Hadamard transform (replaces fast_hadamard_transform which doesn't build on ROCm). - Register DeepseekV4ForCausalLM in support_model_arch_dict. Out of scope (tracked for PR2-6): - Real HF checkpoint loading (PR2 = FP4 e2m1 loader, PR3 = TP + KV cache). - AITER sparse_attn kernel (PR4; spec at /app/logs_claude/aiter_v4_sparse_attn_spec.md, AITER team kicked off). - MTP integration with EagleProposer (PR5). - @support_torch_compile + CUDAGraph + openai_server (PR6). Verification: /app/logs_claude/v4_pr1_verify.py monkey-patches the reference's TileLang kernel imports with our torch fallbacks, copies the same dummy state_dict into both models, and runs prefill + decode side-by-side. 259 tensors match exactly; max_abs_diff = 0.0 on logits. * feat(quant_v4): add FP4 e2m1 -> BF16 dequant for V4 expert weights DeepSeek-V4-Pro stores routed expert weights as packed FP4 e2m1 (int8 with 2 values per byte, low nibble first) plus per-block ue8m0 scale (block size 32 along input dim). This commit adds `dequant_fp4_e2m1(packed, scale)` in atom/model_ops/quant_v4.py — a pure-torch unpacker that mirrors convert.py exactly but produces BF16 directly instead of repacking into FP8. Validated bit-exactly against an independent reference unpack on a real 22M-element expert tensor from the on-disk checkpoint. Also regression- tested across 5 different shapes/positions (w1/w2/w3 in first/mid/last layer + MTP). All produce values that lie exactly on the FP4 e2m1 grid. Scope: this is the standalone dequant utility. Wiring it into the model loader's safetensors pipeline + tying it to specific param names happens in PR3 alongside TP-aware expert sharding. Test: /app/logs_claude/v4_pr2_dequant_test.py Result: max_abs_diff = 0.0 (bit-exact) * refactor(deepseek_v4): swap BF16 projections to ATOM TP linear classes PR3a: replace nn.Linear / nn.Embedding with ATOM tensor-parallel-aware classes for the BF16 projections in Attention, Indexer, and the model embedding. Same `weight` parameter naming so dummy state_dicts continue to load. At TP=1 ATOM's tgemm.mm produces bit-identical output to F.linear, so PR1's reference parity (max_abs_diff = 0.0) still passes. Layers refactored (8 total): - DeepseekV4Model.embed: nn.Embedding -> VocabParallelEmbedding - DeepseekV4Attention.wq_a: nn.Linear -> ReplicatedLinear - DeepseekV4Attention.wq_b: nn.Linear -> ColumnParallelLinear - DeepseekV4Attention.wkv: nn.Linear -> ReplicatedLinear (single shared MQA head) - DeepseekV4Attention.wo_a: nn.Linear -> ColumnParallelLinear - DeepseekV4Attention.wo_b: nn.Linear -> RowParallelLinear (with all-reduce) - Indexer.wq_b: nn.Linear -> ColumnParallelLinear - Indexer.weights_proj: nn.Linear -> ColumnParallelLinear Deferred to later PRs (intentional): - Compressor.wkv/wgate (fp32) -> PR3c with quant_type wiring - ParallelHead.weight (fp32 LM head) -> PR3c - Expert.w{1,2,3} -> PR3b (FusedMoE wholesale rewrite) - MoE.gate.weight (used as raw Parameter, not Linear class) -> kept Verification: /app/logs_claude/v4_pr1_verify.py (now GPU mode with init_dist_env) shows max_abs_diff = 0.0 for prefill + decode against reference at TP=1. * feat(deepseek_v4): wire QuantizationConfig + implement load_weights() for real ckpt PR3c delivers end-to-end real-checkpoint loading for DeepSeek-V4 attention layers via ATOM's existing FP8/FP4 GEMM infrastructure. What works after this commit (validated on real /data/DeepSeek-V4-Pro/): - DeepseekV4ForCausalLM(atom_config) auto-builds a V4QuantConfig that maps routed-experts -> per_1x32 (FP4) and overrides wo_a / Compressor.wkv / Compressor.wgate / indexer.weights_proj -> bf16 (no quant). Everything else inherits the global FP8 (per_1x128) spec from the HF quantization_config. - load_weights(weights) walks an iterable of (name, tensor) pairs and: * Remaps ATOM's `weight_scale` -> on-disk `scale` naming. * Special-cases wo_a: dequantizes FP8+scale -> BF16 on the fly so the grouped-LoRA einsum (which aiter doesn't support in FP8) works. * Dispatches to ATOM Linear's weight_loader for FP8 / FP4 / BF16 paths. * Skips params with shape mismatch (e.g. expert nn.Linear waiting for PR3b's FusedMoE refactor) without crashing. - All 23 attention parameters (FP8 q/kv proj + FP4 indexer + BF16 wo_a + fp32 compressor) load successfully on real layer-2 of the V4 checkpoint. Threading changes: - DeepseekV4Args gains `quant_config: Optional[Any] = None`. - DeepseekV4Attention / Indexer / Compressor / Block / MTPBlock / DeepseekV4Model now accept `prefix: str = ""` and pass `quant_config + prefix` down to each ATOM Linear constructor so per-layer quant lookup works. Backward compatibility: - When `args.quant_config is None` (toy / dummy validation), V4QuantConfig retains its `QuantType.No` global — Linear layers stay BF16 and the PR1 bit-exact reference parity test (max_abs_diff = 0.0) still passes. Remaining gaps for end-to-end real-ckpt forward (tracked in design doc): - PR3b: replace MoE/Expert with FusedMoE so 384 expert FP4 weights load. - PR3d: refactor V4 attention.forward to accept 2D [num_tokens, dim] input (ATOM TP linears require 2D — current 3D path raises "GEMM not supported"). * refactor(deepseek_v4): switch forward to ATOM 2D flat-token convention PR3d adapts V4 model to ATOM's scheduler convention: model.forward consumes flat 2D `[num_tokens, dim]` tokens (single sequence implicit B=1), matching how ATOM's ModelRunner / scheduler pass tokens. This unblocks ATOM Linear's quantized GEMM kernels (which only accept 2D `[M, K]` input) and enables end-to-end real-checkpoint forward. What changed: - DeepseekV4Attention.forward(x, start_pos): now accepts 2D [num_tokens, dim]. Internally adds a B=1 dim only where needed (RoPE, sparse_attn). The grouped-LoRA einsum string changes from "bsgd,grd->bsgr" to "sgd,grd->sgr". - Compressor.forward / Indexer.forward: accept 2D x; auto-unsqueeze to 3D internally for backward compatibility with the existing logic. - Block.hc_pre / hc_post + ParallelHead.hc_head: refactored to be shape-agnostic in leading dims (use negative indexing on flatten / sum). Both 4D `[B, S, hc, D]` (legacy reference path) and 3D `[num_tokens, hc, D]` (ATOM path) work. - ParallelHead.get_logits: 2D path takes last token via `x[-1:]`; 3D path preserves `x[:, -1]` for legacy [B, S, D] inputs. - MTPBlock.forward: 2D-aware via `e.unsqueeze(-2)` for hc-dim broadcast. - DeepseekV4Model.forward: auto-flattens 2D `[1, S]` input_ids to 1D `[S]` for the new convention; rejects B>1 (proper multi-sequence batching needs attn_metadata, deferred). Validated: - PR1 reference parity (toy 4-layer dummy weights at B=1 S=32): max_abs_diff = 0.0 — still bit-exact after the 2D refactor. - PR3d end-to-end on REAL V4 weights: + Built DeepseekV4ForCausalLM (4 layers, real V4 dims, ~105B params) + load_weights() loaded 36 layer-2 params; 23/23 attn params nonzero + attn(x_2d=[16, 7168], start_pos=0) → output [16, 7168] bf16 + No NaN/Inf; output range [-2.94, 3.08], abs mean 0.42 (sensible) + This is the first successful V4 attention forward on real weights via ATOM Test scripts (under /app/logs_claude/): - v4_pr1_verify.py — toy parity (now uses B=1 + ATOM 2D path) - v4_pr3d_layer_e2e.py — real-weight 2D forward end-to-end - v4_pr3c_layer0_test.py — per-Linear validation against real ckpt Remaining for full model end-to-end: - PR3b: MoE → FusedMoE so 384 expert FP4 weights load (currently shape-skipped) - Multi-sequence support via attn_metadata (currently single-sequence implicit B=1) * feat(deepseek_v4): swap MoE to FusedMoE for 384-expert TP/EP loading PR3b enables ATOM's FusedMoE for V4's 384 routed experts so FP4 expert weights can load via the existing aiter `gemm_a4w4_quant` kernel and shard across TP/EP ranks. Also extends `select_experts` in moe.py to support V4's `sqrtsoftplus` scoring with `e_score_correction_bias`. Changes in atom/model_ops/moe.py: - `FusedMoE.select_experts` now handles `scoring_func="sqrtsoftplus"`: routing_weights = sqrt(softplus(router_logits)) + topk + renormalize. Mirrors the V4 reference Gate.forward exactly for non-hash layers. Changes in atom/models/deepseek_v4.py: - Dual-path MoE: when `quant_config` is set AND ATOM's global atom_config is initialized, MoE uses ReplicatedLinear gate + FusedMoE experts + ATOM-Linear shared_experts. Otherwise falls back to the original manual per-expert nn.Linear path so PR1 toy validation stays bit-exact (the reference test runs without ATOM's ModelRunner setting the global config). - Expert class accepts `quant_config + prefix`: when set, w1/w2/w3 become ColumnParallelLinear/RowParallelLinear (FP8 path); else nn.Linear (toy). - DeepseekV4ForCausalLM.get_expert_mapping() returns the (param_name, weight_name, expert_id, shard_id) tuples mapping V4's `w1/w2/w3` ckpt names to FusedMoE's merged `w13_*`/`w2_*` params. - load_weights() walks expert_mapping first to dispatch routed expert tensors via FusedMoE's per-expert weight_loader, then handles the rest: * ATOM `weight_scale` ↔ on-disk `scale` rename (existing) * ATOM `gate.e_score_correction_bias` ↔ on-disk `gate.bias` rename (NEW) * `wo_a` FP8 → BF16 dequant on load (existing) Validated: - PR1 toy parity: max_abs_diff = 0.0 (manual MoE path still bit-exact). - PR3d e2e: real layer-2 attn + 2D forward still works. - PR3b new: under stub atom_config, FusedMoE path activates correctly. Layer-3 (non-hash, real V4 dims): gate + e_score_correction_bias + shared_experts (6/6) loaded; FusedMoE expert mapping returns 1152 entries (384 experts × {w1,w2,w3}). Known limitations (deferred): - Hash routing (layers 0/1/2): tid2eid table is loaded but routing logic still falls through to sqrtsoftplus path → INCORRECT for hash layers. Proper hash routing requires either a custom path through FusedMoE or a pre-computed (topk_weights, topk_ids) injection point. - Multi-sequence batching via attn_metadata (currently single-sequence implicit B=1). Test: /app/logs_claude/v4_pr3b_fusedmoe_test.py * fix(deepseek_v4): V4QuantConfig now matches FusedMoE's bare 'experts' prefix Bug: `make_v4_quant_config` matched `"ffn.experts." in layer_name` (with trailing dot). FusedMoE.__init__ asks for the layer's quant_type with prefix `layers.N.ffn.experts` (NO trailing dot — it's the parent module of the per-expert weights, not a per-expert lookup). The check failed, so FusedMoE inherited the global FP8 (per_1x128) spec and allocated the routed expert weights as `float8_e4m3fn` instead of `float4_e2m1fn_x2`. Symptom in PR3b validation output before the fix: FusedMoE experts: 3/5 nonzero (loader couldn't dispatch FP4-shaped on-disk tensors into FP8-typed model params; shape mismatch silently skipped them) After the fix: experts.w13_weight: (385, 6144, 3584) torch.float4_e2m1fn_x2 ✓ experts.w13_weight_scale: (385, 6144, 224) torch.float8_e8m0fnu ✓ experts.w2_weight: (385, 7168, 1536) torch.float4_e2m1fn_x2 ✓ experts.w2_weight_scale: (385, 7168, 96) torch.float8_e8m0fnu ✓ e_score_correction_bias: (384,) torch.float32 ✓ Match condition tightened to `".ffn.experts" in layer_name` so it catches BOTH `layers.N.ffn.experts.M.w1` (per-expert Linear lookups) AND `layers.N.ffn.experts` (FusedMoE parent module lookup). Note: a separate aiter-side issue (HSA_STATUS_ERROR_EXCEPTION on FP4 expert weight_loader, traced to a `direct_copy_kernel` with grid size exceeding HW limits) prevents end-to-end FP4 expert load testing on this box. The dtype/shape correctness above is verified by inspecting the constructed module's params directly. Validated: - PR1 toy parity: max_abs_diff = 0.0 (manual MoE fallback unaffected) - PR3d real-attention forward: still works * fix(deepseek_v4): correct FusedMoE expert weight + scale + bias dispatch PR3b's expert weight loader had three bugs that caused weights to load as zero or be silently dropped: 1. **Expert mapping pattern mismatch**: `make_expert_params_mapping` returns `(param_part="experts.w13_", weight_part="experts.0.w1.", ...)` — substring substitution, not endswith. The old code built `f".experts.{e}.{suffix}"` which never matched. Switched to longest-prefix substring substitution matching the standard ATOM loader pattern. 2. **Scale dtype zero-fill**: copying `torch.float8_e8m0fnu` into a `uint8` destination via `copy_()` silently produces zeros (mismatched dtype, no reinterpret). FusedMoE allocates `w13_weight_scale` as uint8; force a `.view(torch.uint8)` on the e8m0 source before passing to the loader. 3. **Param suffix `_scale` vs `.weight_scale`**: after substring sub, `experts.0.w1.scale` becomes `experts.w13_scale`, but the FusedMoE param is `experts.w13_weight_scale`. Added `_scale` → `_weight_scale` post-fix. Plus: gracefully slice on-disk gate.weight / gate.bias when the test caps n_routed_experts below the checkpoint size (no-op in real serving). Verified: - v4_pr3b_fusedmoe_test: 32 params loaded, 5/5 expert + 6/6 shared nonzero - v4_pr3d_layer_e2e: real attention forward still works - v4_pr1_verify: bit-exact reference parity preserved (0.0 max diff) * feat(deepseek_v4): wire hash routing for first 3 layers via custom_routing_function V4 uses tid2eid hash lookup (instead of gate-logit topk) for routing in layers where compress_ratio implies hash layer (first 3 layers in standard config). Previously, MoE just declared tid2eid for weight loading but inference fell through to sqrtsoftplus path → wrong routing for those layers. This commit: - Adds an early `custom_routing_function` branch to FusedMoE.select_experts (it was in the signature but never honored — the non-grouped path went straight to scoring_func dispatch). Now any non-None custom fn takes precedence and returns (topk_weights, topk_ids). - Adds DeepseekV4MoE._hash_topk(): topk_ids = tid2eid[input_ids], topk_weights = sqrtsoftplus(router_logits) gathered + renormalized. Stashes input_ids on self before the experts() call so the closure can index tid2eid; clears immediately after. - For hash layers: assigns experts.custom_routing_function = self._hash_topk in MoE.__init__ so FusedMoE picks it up via the moe_forward custom op → forward_impl_graph → quant_method.apply → select_experts plumbing. Verified: - PR3e (new): synthetic tid2eid → _hash_topk produces exact expected ids, renormalized weights match reference math (max_abs_diff = 0.0) - PR3e: FusedMoE.select_experts honors custom_routing_function correctly - PR1 toy parity: still 0.0 max diff (hash path is opt-in via is_hash_layer) - PR3b FusedMoE load: 32 params, all nonzero (no regression) - PR3d real attn forward: still works (non-hash layer) * feat(deepseek_v4): full Block.forward (attn + FusedMoE) end-to-end on real ckpt Three changes converging on the first working V4 layer forward: 1. **weights_mapping**: Add class-level rename dict so the standard ATOM loader (`atom.model_loader.loader.load_model`) can ingest V4 ckpt names without per-model loader.py changes. `.gate.bias` → `.gate.e_score_correction_bias`, `.scale` → `.weight_scale_inv`. Loader's built-in `weight_scale_inv` → `weight_scale` rename then completes the path. Real serving via ModelRunner now works for non-wo_a layers. 2. **process_weights_after_loading hook**: After my custom `model.load_weights` finishes copying tensors, walk all submodules and call `quant_method.process_weights_after_loading(layer)` (or `layer.process_weights_after_loading()` if no quant_method). Without this, FusedMoE's `shuffle_weights` step is skipped and the FP4 ck_moe kernel reads stale weight layout — manifested as HSA_STATUS_ERROR_EXCEPTION mid-forward. Standard loader.py calls this for us; my custom loader had to replicate it. 3. **PR3f end-to-end test** (logs_claude/v4_pr3f_block_e2e.py): - Build 1 dense layer (compress_ratios=[0]) with 8 routed experts - Load real layer-3 weights (32 target params, 33/33 nonzero) - Build mHC residual `[8 tokens, hc_mult=4, dim=7168]` - Call Block.forward(x, start_pos=0, input_ids) - Output: shape preserved, range [-4.1, 4.6], abs mean 0.81, no NaN/Inf This is the first end-to-end forward through V4's full layer: attention (FP8 wq/wkv + BF16 wo grouped LoRA + indexer) + FusedMoE (FP4 experts via aiter ck_moe + sqrtsoftplus routing + bias correction + shared expert) + mHC pre/post Sinkhorn projections. Confirmed no regression on PR1/PR3b/PR3d/PR3e. * feat(deepseek_v4): standard ATOM loader (load_model) now handles V4 ckpts ModelRunner uses atom.model_loader.loader.load_model() — not the model's custom load_weights(). This commit closes that gap so real serving via openai_server works end-to-end: 1. **Expand weights_mapping with prefix renames**: V4 ckpt has bare names (`embed.`, `layers.`, `norm.`, `head.`, `hc_head_`) but our params live under `self.model = ...`. Add prefix substitutions so the loader's `model.get_parameter(name)` lookup hits the right attribute path. 2. **Fix dtype-mismatch silent zero in FusedMoE._load_w13/_load_w2**: PyTorch's `tensor.copy_()` between mismatched float8/uint8 dtypes silently writes zeros. V4's per-1x32 weight scales are stored as `float8_e8m0fnu` on disk but FusedMoE allocates them as `uint8` (raw byte storage). Force a `.view(torch.uint8)` reinterpret on the source so the bytes round-trip correctly. This is a pre-existing bug that was masked because V2/V3 use `float32` scales — V4 is the first ATOM model to use e8m0/e4m3 scales. Verified: - PR3i (new): standard load_model() loads V4 layer-0 from full 805GB ckpt index — 43/43 model params nonzero (100%), 5GB selective load. - PR3g (new): full Model.forward(input_ids) → logits on real ckpt. Output shape (1, 129280), range [-14.2, 15.4], std 3.05, no NaN/Inf. - PR3h (new): hash layer (layers 0/1/2) Block.forward works on real layer-0 ckpt (tid2eid loaded, 773423/775680 nonzero entries, real per-token expert assignments diverge from default sqrtsoftplus path). - All 5 prior tests (PR1/PR3b/PR3d/PR3e/PR3f) still pass — no regression. Net result: V4 inference pipeline is now production-ready for real ckpt loading + forward; remaining gap is multi-layer + multi-batch attn metadata + AITER sparse_attn (parallel work). * fix(deepseek_v4): wo_a FP8 dequant via process_weights_after_loading hook PR3i shipped "100% nonzero params" but never ran forward through the standard-loader path. Verifying with PR3j (new) revealed wo_a values were 2768× too large — `torch.copy_(BF16_dst, FP8_src)` does an FP8→BF16 dtype conversion but SKIPS the per-128-block scale multiplication. Result: raw FP8 e4m3 max value (448.0) lands in the BF16 weight buffer instead of the true ~0.04 attention-init magnitude. Fix: stop forcing wo_a to no_spec/BF16 in V4QuantConfig. Let it allocate as FP8 ColumnParallelLinear so the standard FP8 loader fills both `wo_a.weight` (FP8) and `wo_a.weight_scale` (e8m0) correctly. Then DeepseekV4Attention.process_weights_after_loading dequants in place, replacing weight with BF16 + dropping the scale param. Forward continues to use BF16 weight in the grouped LoRA einsum (aiter has no FP8 grouped einsum). Also removes the manual wo_a special-case from custom load_weights() — both load paths (custom + standard) now converge through the same process_weights_after_loading dequant. Verified by PR3j parity test: - Custom path wo_a: abs.mean=0.0214, abs.max=0.4062 - Standard path wo_a: abs.mean=0.0214, abs.max=0.4062 (BIT-EXACT) - Standard-loader Model.forward → logits range [-17.9, 15.8], std 3.04 - Magnitude ratio: 1.00 (was 2768× before fix) - All 9 tests pass — no regression. This was a silent corruption that PR3i's "params nonzero" check missed. The lesson: nonzero != correct. Always verify with forward. * feat(deepseek_v4): end-to-end inference with triton MoE and swiglu_limit Major changes enabling correct V4 inference (single-prompt verified with 512-token coherent output in both English and Chinese): Model fixes: - WeightsMapper prefix-anchored remapping (fixes 381 silently-skipped params) - wo_a FP8→BF16 dequant with quant_type=No to prevent CK shuffle corruption - Hash routing (first 3 layers) now applies route_scale=2.5 - shared_experts reduce_results=False + unified all_reduce in MoE.forward - KV cache reset on start_pos=0 with score_state=-inf initialization - TP-correct head/group counts for Attention and Indexer MoE routing: - Standard Silu activation (not Swiglu — aiter a16w4+Swiglu has 9× amplitude loss on gfx950). swiglu_limit clamping done in triton post-kernel. - ATOM_USE_TRITON_MOE=1: triton matmul_ogs path with swiglu_limit clamp - ATOM_V4_TORCH_MOE=1: per-expert torch fallback with FP4 dequant (slow) - GFX950MXScaleLayout→CDNA4MXScaleLayout fix in fused_moe_triton.py Loader improvements: - WeightsMapper auto-read from model class attribute - Post-load WARNING listing all unloaded params - Shape-mismatch raises RuntimeError instead of silent skip Config: - deepseek_v4→deepseek_v3 registry mapping with V4 field re-injection - Robust from_hf_config with getattr defaults Known limitations: - Single-sequence only (kv_cache[:1,...] hardcoded); batch>1 needs PR3 - Multi-request KV isolation pending scheduler integration - TPOT ~213ms with --enforce-eager (no CUDAGraph) * fix(deepseek_v4): apply swiglu_limit to shared_experts (upstream a1fd202) Upstream ref (deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro@a1fd202) changed shared_experts from no swiglu_limit to swiglu_limit=args.swiglu_limit, making it consistent with routed experts. * refactor(deepseek_v4): wire positions tensor through forward chain; switch RoPE to aiter - DeepseekV4ForCausalLM/Model/Block/MTPBlock/Attention/Compressor/Indexer now accept `positions: torch.Tensor` instead of `start_pos: int`; internal ring-buffer indexing still derives `start_pos = positions[0].item()` (full per-request KV slot management deferred to PR3). - New `_V4RoPE` wraps aiter `rope_cached_positions_{,2c_}fwd_inplace`, driven by per-token positions. Cos/sin cache built via V4's exact YaRN math (`_precompute_freqs_cis`); kept symmetric to `_apply_rotary_emb` by working on the pre-sliced rope tail. - `_build_cos_sin_cache` is lru-cached on (rope params, dtype, device) so the 3 distinct rope param sets (HCA / CSA / Dense) share one GPU tensor across all 62 layers instead of 62 register_buffer copies (~16 GB OOM otherwise). - Inverse RoPE on the attention output keeps `_apply_rotary_emb` (aiter has no inverse kernel); the complex freqs slice is rebuilt on demand from the cos/sin cache via `_V4RoPE.freqs_for_positions`. - Verified: simple_inference single-prompt CN 256 tokens coherent. * refactor: delegate ATOM KV cache subsystem to attention builders Generalize the GDN per-request state decoupling (#602) into a complete model-agnostic KV abstraction owned by the AttentionMetadataBuilder hierarchy. ModelRunner is now blind to attention type — it walks modules and dispatches; per-attention-type tensor layouts (MLA 576-dim packed, GDN-hybrid full-attn-only rows, MiMo-V2 per-module deferred, V3.2 indexer cache, GDN per-req mamba state) all live next to their respective builder. ModelRunner net: -526 LOC. The if/elif chains over use_mla / is_qwen_next / is_mimo_v2 / is_deepseek_v32 in _compute_block_bytes, allocate_kv_cache, and the binding loop are all gone. Future stateful attentions (DeepseekV4 ring buffer + compressor state) plug in by subclassing AttentionMetadataBuilder without touching scheduler / block_manager / ModelRunner. New AttentionMetadataBuilder hooks (defaults are no-ops): - compute_per_req_cache_bytes() / slots_per_req() bytes/slot for the per-request state pool - allocate_per_req_cache(num_slots) dict of named per-request state tensors - compute_block_bytes() per-block bytes for the KV pool budget - allocate_kv_cache_tensors(num_kv_heads, num_draft_layers) dict of named primary KV cache tensors (kv_cache, kv_scale, index_cache, aligned_index_dim, _kv_layer_cache_store) - build_kv_cache_tensor(layer_id, module) vLLM-style KVCacheTensor for one module, or None if foreign type; owns module setattr (k_cache/v_cache/k_scale/v_scale/kv_cache) Builder overrides: - AiterAttentionMetadataBuilder: split-K/V MHA + MiMo-V2 per-module - AiterMLAMetadataBuilder: 576-dim MLA + V3.2 indexer - GDNAttentionMetadataBuilder: hybrid full-attn rows + GDN mamba slot pool; chains super() for MHA modules in hybrid models. Absorbs the formerly-runner-owned gated_delta_net_state_shape/dtypes helpers and the side-effect init of full_attention_interval / num_full_attn / num_gdn_attn_state. Naming distinguishes group (per-request unit) from slot (raw tensor index). One group occupies `slots_per_req()` contiguous slots in the underlying tensor: Sequence.mamba_state_slot -> .per_req_cache_group seq.mamba_enabled -> .has_per_req_cache batch.mamba_state_slots -> .per_req_cache_groups BlockManager.mamba_* -> .per_req_cache_* (free pool, accounting) config.mamba_equiv_per_req -> .per_req_cache_equiv_blocks config.num_mamba_groups -> .num_per_req_cache_groups ModelRunner.max_mamba_slots -> .max_per_req_cache_slots (tensor dim) Removed (moved to builders): ModelRunner._compute_mamba_per_slot_bytes ModelRunner.gated_delta_net_state_shape / _dtypes Sanity check: ModelRunner.__init__ now asserts that any builder returning compute_per_req_cache_bytes() > 0 has its model_type registered in InputOutputProcessor._per_req_cache_model_types(), catching the silent-corruption misconfiguration where a stateful attention is added but Sequence-construction never gets the has_per_req_cache=True flag. Verified: - tests/test_per_req_cache_decoupling.py: 24/24 pass - core suite (block_manager, sequence, scheduler, request, io_processor_fanout, prefix_cache_accuracy): 118/118 pass - Qwen3.5-397B-A17B-FP8 tp=4 simple_inference: 4-prompt completion quality unchanged - Qwen3.5-397B-A17B-FP8 tp=4 GSM8K (5-shot, 64 concurrent): flexible-extract = 0.8757 +/- 0.0091 (baseline 0.8711 from #602) strict-match = 0.8605 +/- 0.0095 * style: black format block_manager.py * feat(deepseek_v4): per_req_cache abstraction (pre2a + pre2c-A) V4 backend (DeepseekV4Backend + DeepseekV4AttentionMetadataBuilder) plus migration of state-cache buffers to ATOM's per_req_cache pool: - pre2a: 6 Compressor state buffers (kv_state + score_state for CSA Main / CSA Indexer / HCA Main). - pre2c-A: SWA window per layer (paper §3.6.1 state cache, every layer has SWA branch in V4-Pro). Attention.kv_cache splits into Attention.swa_kv (per_req_cache) + Attention.kv_cache (compressed entries only, still register_buffer; pre2c-B will move under block_table). Validated single-prompt 64-token Chinese generation (V4-Pro tp=8, triton MoE, enforce-eager) — output indistinguishable from baseline. * feat(deepseek_v4): classical KV cache via block_table (pre2c-B) Strict-paper §3.6.1 split: compressed entries (CSA Main, CSA Indexer, HCA Main) move from per-layer register_buffer to block-table-indexed pools owned by DeepseekV4AttentionMetadataBuilder. - block_size = lcm(m, m') = 128 original tokens, plumbed via Config override on model_type=deepseek_v4 detection. - Three classical pools: v4_csa_main_kv [num_blocks, n_csa, k1=32, head_dim=512] v4_csa_idx_kv [num_blocks, n_csa, k1=32, idx_head_dim=128] v4_hca_main_kv [num_blocks, n_hca, k2=1, head_dim=512] Per-layer slice bound to Compressor.kv_cache / Indexer.kv_cache. - V4 model adds _v4_scatter_compressed / _v4_gather_compressed helpers and fetches block_table from forward_context. Compressor.forward scatters writes into block-table slots; Indexer.forward + decode sparse_attn input gather committed entries from blocks. - Indexer + 1-slot warmup fallback register_buffer pattern same as pre2a Compressor.kv_state. - Attention.kv_cache attribute removed entirely (compressed entries no longer co-located on the Attention module). Validated single-prompt 64-token Chinese generation (V4-Pro tp=8) unchanged from pre2c-A baseline. * feat(deepseek_v4): multi-sequence forward dispatch (PR3-main) V4 forward now handles ATOM ragged-batch input with per-seq slot + block_table routing. Single-seq behavior unchanged; concurrent batched multi-seq prefill + decode verified end-to-end on 4 prompts. Changes: - Builder prepare_decode/prepare_prefill populate cu_seqlens_q, block_tables, and v4_slot_indices (new per-seq metadata attached to AttentionMetaData via dynamic attribute). - _v4_get_block_table replaced with _v4_get_seq_metadata returning (block_tables, slot_indices, cu_seqlens_q, num_seqs). - Compressor.forward + Indexer.forward signatures: add slot, block_table args. Per-slot indexing via [slot:slot+1, ...] replaces hardcoded [:1, ...] / [:bsz, ...]. - Attention.forward: batched Linear projections + RoPE on full flat tensor; per-seq loop slices (cu_seqlens_q) and dispatches SWA write, Compressor scatter, Indexer + sparse_attn with each seq's slot + block_table. Per-seq state-cache reset on prefill (start_pos==0) only zeros that seq's slot — no cross-seq pollution. - ParallelHead.get_logits: pick last-token-per-seq via cu_seqlens_q (fixed long-standing single-seq assumption that always returned only x[-1] regardless of batch size). Validated MAX_NUM_SEQS=4 concurrent batched inference: 4 prompts processed in parallel produce independent coherent outputs. * fix(deepseek_v4): correct ue8m0 input quant + MoE routing scale Three independent bugs caused V4 to ramble on edge-confidence prompts (e.g. "1+2+3=?" output garbled despite 3/4 batch=4 prompts looking OK). Single-prompt output now matches reference byte-equal on the first 5 tokens and produces "The sum is: 1 + 2 + 3 = **6**." (was: "I'll happily provide a step-by-step breakdown..." ramble). Bug 1 (quant_v4.py) — act_quant_inplace ue8m0 path used `ceil(log2)` (matched TileLang reference) but ref_full_generate.py and aiter both use round-to-even via f32_to_e8m0/e8m0_to_f32. The 1-binade gap appeared as ~0.002 cos drift on KV path, accumulating across 60 layers. Bug 2 (moe.py) — FusedMoE.select_experts sqrtsoftplus path renormalized topk_weights but never applied `* routed_scaling_factor`. The hash routing path (V4 layers 0-2) does this internally, hiding the bug for hash layers. Reference Gate.forward (model.py:583) applies the multiply for every non-softmax routing path. Without the scale, layer 3+ MoE outputs were off by 1.5x, producing the visible cos jump from 1.0 (layer 0/2) to 0.98 (layer 3+). Bug 3 (deepseek_v4.py) — DeepseekV4Args.from_hf_config did not read scale_fmt; HF config.json doesn't carry the field, only inference/config.json does. Default to "ue8m0" matching reference ModelArgs (inference/model.py:40) so act_quant_inplace's ue8m0 path is actually exercised. Also folds in previously-validated V4 cleanups that were sitting in the working tree: - _RMSNorm → ATOM RMSNorm (mark_trace + torch.compile friendly) - Indexer wq_b/weights_proj: ColumnParallelLinear → ReplicatedLinear (matches sglang/upstream; avoids extra all_reduce on index_score) - Block.hc_post defaults to torch (aiter mhc_post drift, opt-in via V4_AITER_HC_POST=1; see notes/12) - _torch_moe_forward: ue8m0 round-trip on input to mirror reference Expert.forward (act_quant before fp4_gemm), gated by V4_USE_REF_QUANT=1 Diagnosis path: notes/14_debug_1plus2plus3.md → notes/19_full_fix_verified.md * feat(debug_helper): generic env-gated dump / compare / ref-patch + V4 cleanup New module atom/utils/debug_helper/ provides reusable primitives for forward bisecting and batch-invariance investigation. All entry points are no-ops when their controlling env var is unset, so they are safe to leave wired into production paths (model_runner.py post-load). Components - dump.py install_block_forward_hooks (multi-class + multi-call), maybe_dump_weights_and_exit, maybe_log_topk - compare.py cos_max (DOUBLE precision — fixes fp32 cos > 1.0 bug), slot_split, compare_slots, pick_prefill_call, schema_diff, plus CLI subcommands: slot-invariance / ref-vs-target / layer-bisect / schema - ref_patch.py patch_method / patch_block_forward / patch_module_dump context managers for instrumenting read-only references - 9 ATOM_FWD_DUMP_* / ATOM_WEIGHT_DUMP_* / ATOM_DEBUG_TOPK env vars registered in atom/utils/envs.py "Debug Dump" section Wired into model_runner.py with a 3-line post-load call (no-op default). V4 model cleanup - Convert all nn.Parameter() constructors in deepseek_v4.py to atom_parameter() so inference-vs-training grad behavior is controlled from a single place (ATOM_REQUIRES_GRAD env). 21 call sites. Documentation - docs/environment_variables.md: new "Debug Dump" subsection documenting all 9 env vars + CLI usage. - .claude/skills/dump-bisect-debug.md (v3.0): full methodology rewrite in English with quick-start decision tree, phase-at-a-glance summary, "When to stop / accept divergence" guidance, V4 paper §3.3 batch invariance treatment as Phase 8. Includes Bug 11 isolation case study. - .claude/skills/atom-patterns.md: ATOM architecture index reference. Verified by running CLI on existing E1 4xP3 dump: python -m atom.utils.debug_helper.compare slot-invariance \\ --dir /app/logs_claude/deepseek_v4/dumps/bug11_e1 reproduces the layer-by-layer divergence table that informed Bug 11 isolation in notes/21_bug11_isolation.md. * fix(weight-loading): bidirectional coverage check + V4 hash-layer bias Two fixes that surfaced from the same V4 load run: 1. atom/models/deepseek_v4.py — skip `gate.e_score_correction_bias` allocation for hash-routed layers (layer_id < n_hash_layers). V4 hash layers route via `tid2eid` lookup, not bias-corrected gate logits; the checkpoint has no `gate.bias` for those layers (only layers >= 3). Allocating it caused 3 spurious "param NOT loaded from checkpoint" warnings every load. Both call sites that read the attribute now use `getattr(self.gate, "e_score_correction_bias", None)` — moe.py already accepts None for `e_score_correction_bias`. 2. atom/model_loader/loader.py — add ckpt-side coverage check (the reverse direction of the existing atom-side check). Every `get_parameter() except AttributeError: continue/break` site now records `(orig_ckpt_name, rewritten_name)`; after the main loop the loader warns if any non-benign drops occurred. This catches the actionable bug class — `weights_mapping` / `WeightsMapper` rewrites the ckpt name to something the model has no slot for, silently throwing away real weight data — which the existing atom-side check misses entirely. Benign families (output_scale / kv_scale / inv_freq / weight_scale_2) are filtered so the warning is signal, not noise. Verified on V4 load: - atom-side warning: 46/2519 -> 43/2516 (3 hash bias removed) - ckpt-side warning: 0 drops (mapping is clean for V4) - remaining 43 are all model.mtp.0.* (PR5 todo) * feat(deepseek_v4): pos%(2*ratio) ring buffer for Compressor state cache Per paper §3.6.1, the Compressor's per-request state cache holds "uncompressed tail tokens + previous block as B-side overlap context" (eq 11). Restructure ATOM's kv_state from a roll-on-decode two-segment buffer into a single pos % STATE_SIZE ring buffer (STATE_SIZE = 2*ratio for overlap CSA, ratio for HCA). Kernel update_compressor_states (atom/model_ops/v4_kernels/state_writes.py): - dst = pos % STATE_SIZE for every token; no segment switching, no roll - Phase derived in-kernel from context_lens vs cu_seqlens_q; no IS_PREFILL - Write mask: fresh prefill keeps [max(0, cutoff-ratio), seqlen) (B-side overlap + tail); decode/MTP writes every token Compressor.forward: - Drops decode-boundary roll (kv_state[:ratio] <- kv_state[ratio:]) - Reads A-side / B-side halves by block-id parity (comp_id % 2) Metadata plumbing: - V4 prepare_decode now populates var["context_lens"] + attaches to AttentionMetaData (parent prepare_prefill already did) - Compressor / Indexer.forward accept required context_lens kwarg - Wrapper has no positions-derived fallback for context_lens Also bundles PR-A scaffolding: - ATOM_V4_BACKEND env gate + per-layer bisect (envs.py, v4_backend_gate.py) - CPU-mirror metadata (cu_seqlens_q_cpu, state_slot_mapping_cpu, start_pos_per_seq_cpu) to avoid per-seq .tolist()/.item() syncs - v4_slot_indices -> state_slot_mapping rename (clearer vs paged-KV slot_mapping) - swa_write Triton kernel integration (Phase 1a) under backend gate Validates: 15/15 byte-equal kernel-vs-reference (prefill + decode + MTP); simple_inference fast path TPOT 0.328-0.518s/tok matches pre-refactor baseline (Apr 29 v4_simple_inference.log: 0.453s/tok). * feat(deepseek_v4): fused_compress_attn kernel + start_pos-free interface Replaces the per-source-position Python pool/RMSNorm/RoPE/scatter chain in Compressor.forward with a single fused Triton kernel that handles fresh prefill, chunked prefill, single-token decode, and MTP-N decode uniformly via per-source-position dispatch. Key changes: * atom/model_ops/v4_kernels/fused_compress.py (new): - Fused softmax-pool + RMSNorm + GPT-J RoPE + bf16 kv_cache scatter. - Grid sized by start_pos-free upper bound n_max=(token_num+ratio-1)//ratio; excess programs early-exit (<=ratio-1 per launch). - Kernel loads start_pos and end_pos from positions[0] / context_lens[0] itself — no caller-supplied start_pos, no CPU boundary enumeration, no .item() sync at this site. - Output [1, n_max, head_dim] padded; downstream sparse_attn is gather-based and never reads padded rows. - K-loop uses tl.range (NOT tl.static_range) — HCA layers (ratio=128) would otherwise expand to 148KB hsaco vs 16KB for CSA (ratio=4), making short-prefill HCA cases that early-exit prohibitively slow due to per-launch overhead scaling with hsaco size. - Pure-PyTorch reference impl with same padded contract for parity tests. * atom/model_ops/v4_kernels/state_writes.py: - update_compressor_states: unified write mask (preserve last STATE_SIZE absolute positions of this fwd) replaces old prefill/decode split. Same invariant covers fresh prefill, chunked prefill, single decode, MTP-N. * atom/models/deepseek_v4.py: - Compressor.forward: drop start_pos parameter and .item() fallback; pass context_lens to fused_compress_attn (kernel derives end_pos). - Indexer.forward: drop start_pos= arg in inner self.compressor() call; keeps own start_pos param for mask logic. - DeepseekV4Attention.forward per-seq dispatch: - Fix decode n_committed = end_pos // ratio (was (start_pos+1)//ratio, which under-counted boundaries committed within MTP-N window). - Rename per-fwd token-count locals seqlen -> token_num across Compressor.forward, Indexer.forward, and per-seq dispatch loop. Validation: - Unit parity test (kernel vs reference) passes 0 max_diff across 21 cases: fresh prefill / chunked prefill / single decode / MTP-N / empty-boundary corner cases. - simple_inference 4-prompt e2e completes with default max_tokens=256 in ~120s (baseline ~131s); outputs are coherent across English and Chinese prompts. Follow-up: batched fused_compress_attn (one launch per layer instead of per-seq) tracked in /app/logs_claude/deepseek_v4/notes/24_*.md. * feat(v4): replace weight-free RMSNorm with fused Triton, ~1.6% TTFT improvement, ~2% TPOT and latency improvement on long-sequence decode * feat(deepseek_v4): use triton sparse attn kernel and move attn kernel out of loop (#678) * use triton sparse_attn_ragged * use triton sparse_attn_ragged_varlen * fix(sparse_attn_v4): BLOCK_H=16 for ROCm MFMA lowering block_h=2 (or 4) made tl.dot operands smaller than the smallest bf16 MFMA tile (16x16x16) on gfx9xx/gfx950. TritonAMDGPUOptimizeDotOperands crashed the pass pipeline ("PassManager::run failed") instead of falling back to FMA, breaking V4 e2e on AMD: all three kernels (_sparse_attn_triton, _sparse_attn_ragged_triton, _sparse_attn_ragged_varlen_triton) failed at JIT compile time. Bumping block_h to 16 in all three wrappers fixes the crash. Numerical parity vs torch reference is unchanged (mean abs diff 4.9e-4 vs torch 1.7e-4, both within bf16 attention noise on D=512). * feat(deepseek_v4): SGLang-style packed plan tensors for batched compressor dispatch Replace the per-seq Python loop that launched 64-layers x num_seqs separate fused_compress_attn / update_compressor_states kernel calls per fwd with a single batched kernel call driven by SGLang-style 16B plan rows [ragged_id, batch_id, position, window_len]. Key changes: - atom/model_ops/v4_kernels/compress_plan.py (new): vectorized numpy plan generator. For each (ratio, is_overlap) pair, emits one compress_plan (boundaries where (pos+1)%ratio==0) and one write_plan (last STATE_SIZE positions for state cache update), packed in B-flat layout. Plus cu_compress_cpu prefix sums for caller slicing. - v4_kernels/fused_compress.py: kernel takes plan_ptr instead of positions/context_lens/slot. window_len = K - min(j_in_seq+1, K) replaces the old s >= start_pos test; in_row = ragged_id - (K-1-k_static) for ragged input rows. Output is now tightly packed [num_compress, head_dim], not padded n_max. - v4_kernels/state_writes.py: kernel takes write_plan_ptr instead of positions/context_lens/slot. Per-prog: load (ragged_id, batch_id, position) and write at dst = position % STATE_SIZE. No in-kernel mask (host pre-filtered). - attentions/deepseek_v4_attn.py: builds compress_plans dict in prepare_prefill / prepare_decode, attached to attn_metadata. PR #678's _attach_sparse_layout_metadata now reads cu_compress_cpu from plan instead of using the ceil(n_max) upper bound formula. - models/deepseek_v4.py: Compressor.forward / Indexer.forward consume CompressPlan; DeepseekV4Attention.forward calls self.compressor() once outside the per-seq loop; per-seq loop slices kv_compress via cu_compress_cpu and concatenates to seq_kv. Indexer wraps as bs=1 plan via make_single_seq_plan (indexer batched dispatch is a separate PR). Also fixes n_committed formula for MTP-N decode: (start_pos + token_num) // ratio (was (start_pos + 1) // ratio, which dropped boundaries inside the MTP window when token_num > 1). Validated: 30-case parity test (single-seq, batched bs=4/8, MTP-3, HCA) all pass with max_diff <= 4.77e-7. V4 e2e (4 prompts x 256 tokens, GSM8K 25-sample smoke at 0.88) confirms no regression. * feat(deepseek_v4): batch state-cache reset/write/topk (Phase 1+2a+2c) Three independent batched-ops phases that share an outer-loop slot in DeepseekV4Attention.forward: - Phase 1: drop redundant per-seq state-cache reset loop. Fresh prefill never reads stale swa_kv (raw seq_kv used directly) nor stale Compressor state cache (fused_compress K-loop's is_padding=s<0 masks all is_state reads when prefix=0 → s = j_in_seq - K + 1 + k_static < 0 for every is_state iteration). Verified GSM8K=0.96 on 25/50 samples. - Phase 2a: vectorize per-seq window topk into one batched _build_window_topk_batched producing [total_tokens, win] padded with -1; loop body slices to per-seq width matching legacy _get_window_topk_idxs shape. - Phase 2c: hoist SWA write out of per-seq loop into one batched swa_write kernel call. Pre-filter to last-win tokens per seq so the num_tokens parallel programs never collide on the same swa_kv ring slot (pos%win). Pre-fix, long-prefill (token_num > win) caused intra-seq write-race that dropped GSM8K from 0.88 to 0.32. Per-seq dispatch loop still runs for Indexer + kv_sa packing — those batched in follow-up phases (2b/2d/2e). * feat(deepseek_v4): hoist Indexer Compressor out of dispatch loop (Phase 2b-i) Move the per-seq Indexer Compressor call into a single batched call before the dispatch loop, using the same batched plan as the main CSA Compressor (both have ratio=4, overlap=True, identical geometry). The Indexer's internal kv_cache + state cache are populated for the whole batch in one launch instead of bs separate launches per layer. Indexer.forward gains a `skip_inner_compressor=True` flag the dispatch loop sets after the hoist; legacy bs=1 plan path remains as the fallback for any other caller. Per-seq cost reduction: 64 layers × bs Compressor launches drop to 64 layers × 1 (each Compressor launch fires wkv/wgate Linear + fused_compress_attn + update_compressor_states). Verified GSM8K=0.94 ± 0.034 on 50 samples (matches baseline 0.94 — earlier 0.88 reading on 25 samples was within natural ±2-sample noise). * feat(deepseek_v4): use fp8_mqa_logits in Indexer score+topk (Phase 2b-ii a) Replace per-seq BF16 einsum (q ⊗ K → relu → weight → sum) with aiter's fp8_mqa_logits kernel. Mathematically identical (relu(QK*kv_scale) * weight summed over heads), but executes as a single FP8 mma per row + post-row mask + topk. Mirrors V3.2's sparse_attn_indexer_prefill kernel call. Q is FP8-quantized inline (per-row 1x128 scale via get_hip_quant); the scale is folded into `weights` along with softmax_scale and 1/sqrt(H), matching the V3 convention. K is FP8-quantized after the per-seq gather. cu_starts=0, cu_ends=(pos+1)//ratio express the V4 ratio-aware causal frontier directly through the kernel's per-row KV range — no extra masking pass needed. The legacy BF16 einsum path is retained behind `ATOM_V4_INDEXER_FP8=0` for A/B testing. Verified GSM8K=0.96 ± 0.028 on 50 samples (baseline 0.94 ± 0.034 — fp8 path is statistically at-or-above baseline; FP8 quant is closer to V4 training distribution than the current BF16 fallback). * feat(deepseek_v4): Phase 3 hoist per-fwd metadata + comprehensive cleanup Hoist all per-fwd, layer-invariant work from V4Attention.forward and Indexer.forward_batched into the metadata builder, eliminating ~1200 per-layer torch.as_tensor H2D copies (~14 per pack call * 60+ layers, ~9 per Indexer call * 30 CSA layers, ~3 per gather call * 60+ layers) in production fast path. Builder-side helpers (atom/model_ops/attentions/deepseek_v4_attn.py): - _attach_v4_per_fwd_meta: window_topk_batched + SWA write/positions/slots - _build_v4_pack_meta_for_ratio: kv_sa + topk_flat index tensors per ratio - _build_v4_indexer_meta: CSA Indexer batch_id/cu_committed/k/offset/is_prefill GPU tensors plus layer-invariant cu_starts/cu_ends/visible_end/width_mask/ future_threshold derivations - _build_v4_gather_indices: precomputed batch_ids/block_in_seq/slot_in_block for _v4_gather_compressed_batched - _populate_state_slot_mapping: warmup fallback to slot 0 so dummy_run takes the normal forward path V4Attention.forward / Indexer.forward_batched refactor: - Read all per-fwd state once at top of forward (one get_forward_context call, direct attribute access — no nested getattr chains) - Delete dummy_run special path entirely (synthetic 1-seq batch branch, sparse-attn placeholder branch, _v4_is_dummy_run helper, make_single_seq_plan fallback, indexer skip gate, compressor scatter dummy_run gate) - Delete _v4_get_seq_metadata helper + cpu_meta plumbing (all dead) - Delete slow path of _v4_build_sparse_inputs_batched (~263 LoC) and rename _v4_build_sparse_inputs_from_pack_meta -> _v4_build_sparse_inputs_batched - Delete slow path of _v4_gather_compressed_batched + dead n_committed_per_seq / k_per_block params - Indexer.forward_batched signature: drop cu_seqlens_q_cpu / start_pos_per_seq_cpu / win + dead k_per_seq_cpu return value - Indexer.__init__: cache _fp8_quant_func / _weights_scale (was rebuilt per CSA layer) - Promote V4_FORCE_UE8M0_QUANT / V4_USE_REF_QUANT / V4_AITER_HC_POST env-var reads to module-level constants - Promote `from aiter import QuantType as _AiterQuantType` to module level - Merge indexer.compressor.rotary_emb plumb into outer plumb (one less per-layer if-check) - Rename per-fwd locals for clarity: sp_per_seq_gpu -> start_pos_per_seq_gpu, cu_q_gpu -> cu_seqlens_q_gpu, sp_cpu -> start_pos_per_seq_cpu, etc. Removed APIs (unused after refactor): - make_single_seq_plan (atom/model_ops/v4_kernels/{__init__,compress_plan}.py) Verified: - Smoke `1+2+3=?` returns `**6**` - GSM8K-100 (ATOM_USE_TRITON_MOE=1, conc=16, fewshot=3): 0.96 +/- 0.020 * feat(deepseek_v4): CG-A pre-allocate metadata buffers (CUDAGraph prep) Replace ~25 per-fwd `torch.as_tensor(np_arr)` H2D allocations in V4 metadata builder with pre-allocated CpuGpuBuffer pool. Fixes GPU pointers across forwards — prerequisite for CUDAGraph capture (CG-B). Buffer pool allocated once in __init__ (~80 MB at typical config). All builder helpers now write via `_stage(name, arr)` which does `buf.np[:n] = arr; copy_to_gpu(n)` and asserts capacity. Coverage: - _attach_v4_per_fwd_meta: 4 buffers (start_pos / token_num / write_indices / state_slot) - _populate_state_slot_mapping: 1 buffer (groups) - _build_v4_indexer_meta: 6 buffers (batch_id / cu_committed / n_committed / k / offset / is_prefill) - _build_v4_gather_indices: 3 buffers x 3 callers (indexer / csa_dc / hca_dc) - _build_v4_pack_meta_for_ratio: 11 buffers per kind (csa/hca/dense) Forward path unchanged. Validated GSM8K-100 = 0.95 ± 0.022 (baseline 0.96). * feat(deepseek_v4): CG-B CUDAGraph capture infrastructure Prepares V4 backend for CUDAGraph capture/replay (still gated behind --enforce-eager removal in a follow-up). All capture-required GPU pointer addresses are now stable across forwards. Changes: - Kernels gain fixed-grid + sentinel-mask path: fused_compress_attn, update_compressor_states, swa_write all skip rows whose position == -1, so the wrapper can launch at full plan/buffer capacity (CUDAGraph capturable) regardless of how many tokens this fwd actually writes. - fused_compress_attn / update_compressor_states accept strided kv/score inputs (drop the defensive .contiguous() copies in callers); only inner column stride is required to be 1. - fused_compress_attn gains an out= param for caller-provided pre-allocated output buffer (used in CUDAGraph path to keep output address stable); eager path still allocates per-call. - make_compress_plans accepts plan_buffers dict of pre-allocated CpuGpuBuffer; writes into them and sentinel-fills tail rows. Empty-fwd path also fills buffers so capture-time addresses match replay. - DeepseekV4AttentionMetadataBuilder._alloc_v4_metadata_buffers pre-allocates v4_compress_plan_{ratio} / v4_write_plan_{ratio} CpuGpuBuffers and per-kind v4_{csa_main,csa_idx,hca_main}_compress_out BF16 tensors; build_kv_cache_tensor binds the latter to each Compressor module's compress_out attribute. - build_for_cudagraph_capture replaces the stub: synthesizes a decode batch at start_pos=window_size, runs through prepare_decode helpers (_attach_sparse_layout_metadata + _attach_v4_per_fwd_meta + _build_compress_plans), returns (AttentionMetaData, Context) wired to forward_vars buffers. - DeepseekV4Model.forward returns hidden_states (post hc_head + norm) instead of full vocab logits; DeepseekV4ForCausalLM.compute_logits applies head.get_logits. Required so the CUDAGraph output buffer is sized to hidden_size, not vocab_size (~18x smaller, also matches the ATOM standard contract used by other models). - Compressor gains compress_out attribute (set by builder; threaded through fused_compress_attn as out=). - kv_indptr stub buffer added to forward_vars (touched unconditionally by the global capture loop; V4 doesn't use it for its own kernels). Misc: - Hoist 3 lazy `from atom.model_ops.quant_v4 import act_quant_inplace as _v4_aqi` imports to the top-level import block. - Gate `act_quant_inplace(kv[..., :-rd], 64, scale_fmt)` on _V4_USE_REF_QUANT (default off). Previously unconditional; the env gate already exists for the matching qr/x quant pair, so making this consistent. GSM8K-100 = 0.99 with the gate (no regression vs prior unconditional path which also produced 0.99 in recent runs). Validation: GSM8K-100 = 0.99 ± 0.01 (eager mode). CUDAGraph end-to-end (without --enforce-eager) still pending — needs further capture-loop work. * refactor(deepseek_v4): linear fusions, MoE cleanup, shape contracts, perf nits Linear projection fusions (FP8/BF16, zero-copy split downstream): - attn.wq_a + attn.wkv → attn.wqkv_a (MergedReplicatedLinear, FP8) - compressor.wkv + compressor.wgate → compressor.wkv_gate (BF16, otype=fp32) - shared_experts.w1 + w3 → shared_experts.gate_up_proj (MergedColumnParallelLinear) - packed_modules_mapping routes disk shards via standard ATOM loader - Compressor and update_compressor_states accept strided kv/score inputs MoE refactor: - Drop use_fused/Gate/_torch_moe_forward/toy/dummy paths - Split forward into routed_expert_forward / combine_outputs / single_stream_moe_forward / dual_stream_moe_forward - Dispatch via torch.ops.aiter.maybe_dual_stream_forward (Dynamo barrier) - Extract maybe_dual_stream_forward into atom/model_ops/dual_stream_moe.py (shared with V2; V2 inline implementation removed) - Direct routed/shared dtype check for shared-expert fusion gating (V4 has FP4 routed + FP8 shared; the global-vs-shared helper returns the wrong answer because shared==global but routed!=global) Custom op fix: dual_stream_moe declares mutates_args=() (the V2-original mutates_args=["hidden_states"] is a false-mutation declaration — op returns a fresh tensor, never writes to input — and would mislead AOT/functionalization into inserting defensive clones). Aiter kernel refs hoisted: - _V4_AITER_HC_POST env gate removed; mhc_pre/mhc_post dim+presence check resolved once in Block.__init__ to self._mhc_pre / self._mhc_post - per-fwd path is just `if self._mhc_pre is not None:` attribute lookup Shape contracts (ATOM 2D-flat ragged-batch convention): - All forward signatures get inline shape annotations (e.g. `x: torch.Tensor, # [num_tokens, dim]`) - Drop legacy [B, S, ...] 4D paths in Block.hc_pre/hc_post, ParallelHead.hc_head, MTPBlock.forward, ParallelHead.get_logits - Drop input_ids.dim()==2 normalization in DeepseekV4Model.forward - Compressor.forward asserts 2D, drops defensive 3D-squeeze Code organization: - _segment_indices and _build_window_topk_batched moved from deepseek_v4.py to attentions/deepseek_v4_attn.py (only callers are the metadata builder); removes two cross-file lazy imports - _AiterQuantType alias removed (atom.config.QuantType is the same pybind class) - Stale # noqa: F401 pragmas dropped (sparse_attn_v4, v4_kernels imports are all actively referenced) - ruff full-pass on V4 + V2 + dual_stream_moe + V4 attn Indexer.forward_batched post-topk path: - 10 GPU launches + 1 full_like alloc → 7 launches + 0 allocs - (topk_local < 0) | future_mask is equivalent to width_mask | future_mask (fp8_mqa_logits masks out-of-seq logits to -inf, so topk_local < 0 only fires on width-masked slots) - masked_fill_ in-place over (topk_local + offset) replaces full_like + where Removed redundant ops in hot path: - vestigial unsqueeze(0)→squeeze(0) in Indexer.forward_batched, DeepseekV4Attention.forward, _v4_build_sparse_inputs_batched - .type_as(x) on aiter mhc_post path (out.dtype == residual.dtype == x.dtype) - unused `ratio = self.compress_ratio` local in Indexer.forward_batched Validation: GSM8K-100 num_fewshot=3 = 0.98 ± 0.014 (baseline 0.97 ± 0.017, within stderr). * feat(deepseek_v4): FP8 CSA Indexer cache (-44% pool VRAM) Convert v4_csa_idx_kv from BF16 to FP8+scale layout following V3.2 sparse_attn_indexer pattern. Pool size for the indexer cache drops 44% (BF16 1.07GB -> FP8+scale 0.55GB at NB=4096). Pool layout - shape: [n_csa, NB, k1_csa, aligned_dim=144] dtypes.fp8 (layer-major so pool[pos] is contig per CSA layer) - per row: [head_dim] FP8 + 4-byte fp32 scale, 16B-aligned Write path (Compressor.forward, idx_slot_mapping is not None) - Compressor gains optional idx_slot_mapping (int64). When set, the fused-compress kernel skips its BF16 scatter and we instead call indexer_k_quant_and_cache(out, kv_cache, slot_mapping, head_dim, scale_fmt) to FP8-quantize+write each compress row in one shot. - Slot mapping built host-side in _build_indexer_compress_slot_mapping from csa_compress_plan_cpu + block_tables (no extra GPU->CPU copy thanks to the new compress_plan_cpu field on CompressPlan). Read path (Indexer.forward_batched) - cp_gather_indexer_k_quant_cache(kv_cache, k_fp8, k_scale.view(fp8), block_tables, cu_committed_gpu) does paged-gather + split into separate (FP8, scale) buffers in one launch -- no per-row index list, no online quant. - Then fp8_mqa_logits over [Q_fp8, K_fp8, kv_scales=k_scale, weights] drops the legacy gather_compressed + BF16 einsum path entirely. Builder side - _build_v4_indexer_meta gains csa_compress_plan_cpu param; produces compress_slot_mapping_gpu (int64, kernel sig is int64_t*) and cu_committed_gpu (int32, kernel sig is int32_t*). - "indexer" gather buffer set removed -- cp_gather_indexer_k_quant_cache consumes block_tables + cu_seq_lens directly. - CompressPlan grows compress_plan_cpu: np.ndarray | None for the same reason: builder needs the plan rows host-side to derive slot_mapping without an extra D2H sync. Shape contract gotcha (root cause of an OOM-fault hunt) - Indexer.kv_cache binding MUST keep [NB, k1_csa, aligned_dim] (3D, block_size dim explicit). Flattening to [NB*k1, 1, aligned_dim] makes cp_gather_indexer_k_quant_cache infer block_size=1 from shape[1], which then OOB-indexes block_table. Matches V3.2's [num_blocks, block_size, head_dim] layout (deepseek_v2.py:1049). - Write side (indexer_k_quant_and_cache) is shape-agnostic -- uses slot_mapping flat index -- so the symmetric 3D binding for the inner Compressor is for clarity, not correctness. Validation - simple_inference V4-Pro tp=8 fp8 enforce-eager: all 4 prompts produce coherent output (1+2+3=**6**, prime list, Chinese long-form). - GSM8K-100 num_fewshot=3: flexible-extract / strict-match both 0.96 +/- 0.0197 (baseline 0.97 +/- 0.017, within tolerance). * feat(deepseek_v4): CG-friendly indexer Phase A — preshuffle + decode→deepgemm Three changes folded into one commit (validated together GSM8K-100=0.97 ± 0.0171, baseline 8ab1367b also 0.97): 1. **preshuffle on indexer write+read** (`indexer_k_quant_and_cache` + `cp_gather_indexer_k_quant_cache`): MFMA 16x16 tile-aware FP8 cache layout, matches V3.2/PR #658 convention. Required by `deepgemm_fp8_paged_mqa_logits` for `KVBlockSize > 1`. 2. **split `Indexer.forward_batched` into prefill/decode helpers**: common path (Q proj+RoPE+rotate+FP8 quant, weights computation) stays in `forward_batched`; dispatch via `context.is_prefill` to `_score_topk_prefill` (cp_gather + fp8_mqa_logits, eager-only — variable `total_committed` shape) or `_score_topk_decode` (deepgemm, fixed-shape `[bs*next_n, max_model_len_idx]`). Mixed batches go through prefill path. `_post_process_topk` shared, branches on `is_decode` to skip the seq_base subtraction (decode topk indices are already seq-local; prefill indices are global flat positions across cu_committed). 3. **decode helper uses `deepgemm_fp8_paged_mqa_logits`**: reads paged FP8 cache directly via 4D view `[NB, k1_csa=32, 1, aligned_dim=144]`, writes into pre-`-inf`-filled logits buffer (cols beyond per-seq context_lens stay -inf so PyTorch topk doesn't pick garbage). `width_mask` masked_fill handles per-token k_per_token trimming. CUDAGraph-friendly shapes — for Phase B/C buffer pre-allocation + capture path. Builder: expose `n_committed_per_seq_gpu` (int64, [bs]) in indexer_meta — no new H2D, just lifts the existing staged tensor into the return dict for deepgemm context_lens consumption. Init-time hoist: `Indexer._max_model_len_idx = args.max_seq_len // compress_ratio` — deepgemm output column count, constant per layer. Composition validated standalone (test_decode_deepgemm_vs_fp8_mqa.py: 100% top-K overlap with `cp_gather + fp8_mqa_logits` baseline given `-inf`-init buffer). Numerical round-trip with cache_stride=144 + preshuffle validated (test_indexer_roundtrip_numerical.py: cos≥0.9995 across all num_tokens / dispatch branches). Net: +119 / -20 LoC. Phase B/C (decode logits buffer pre-alloc + build_for_cudagraph_capture) tracked separately. * feat(deepseek_v4): adopt aiter top_k_per_row in indexer prefill+decode Replaces the torch.topk + -inf fill path in `Indexer._score_topk_*` with aiter `top_k_per_row_decode/prefill` (radix kernel, parametric k). Both paths emit a uniform [total_tokens, index_topk] int32 layout. _score_topk_decode (CG-friendly path): - Pre-allocated [max_bs, index_topk] int32 indices buffer in builder. - Pre-allocated [max_bs, max_model_len_idx] fp32 logits buffer. - Drop `fill_(-inf)`: top_k_per_row_decode honors n_committed_per_seq per row, so logits cells past valid range are never read. - Drop torch.topk + .to(int32) cast. _score_topk_prefill (eager-only path): - Drop torch.topk + dynamic-`max_k` shape; emit [total_tokens, index_topk] via top_k_per_row_prefill(k=index_topk), kernel writes -1 sentinels in tail cols. - Per-fwd torch.empty for indices (prefill total_tokens dynamic). Builder _build_v4_indexer_meta: - v4_indexer_n_committed_per_seq buffer i64 -> i32 (kernel arg dtype). - Add v4_indexer_decode_logits and v4_indexer_decode_topk_indices forward_vars buffers. - width_mask collapses to uniform [total_tokens, index_topk] bool. - Drop max_k from returned dict; empty-batch guard now keys on total_committed == 0. Builder _build_v4_pack_meta_for_ratio: - compress_topk_src stride is `index_topk` for both paths (was the dynamic max_k = max(k_per_seq), which assumed prefill's torch.topk(max_k) output shape). _post_process_topk: - Input contract changes to [total_tokens, index_topk] uniform layout. Depends on ROCm/aiter#3012 (exposes `k` kwarg on top_k_per_row_decode / top_k_per_row_prefill); existing aiter without that PR will silently ignore the kwarg and run with k=2048 (still correct, but allocates an oversized output buffer). Validation: - aiter kernel parity at v4 shapes (k=1024, varying bs/ctx) - all OK. - GSM8K-100 num_fewshot=3 eager: 0.97 / 0.97 (stable vs 0.96 baseline). * feat(deepseek_v4): CUDAGraph-friendly sparse decode via unified KV pool Enable CUDAGraph capture for DeepSeek-V4 (Pro / non-Pro) sparse decode. Final config validated: cudagraph-capture-sizes [1,2,4,8,16,32,64] + max-num-seqs 64, GSM8K-50 = 0.98. == Approach == Upstream V4 reference materializes "indexer-selected K's" into a per-fwd dense `kv_flat_sa` tensor whose shape depends on device-side data — this prevents CUDAGraph capture. ATOM replaces it with a paged interface (single base pointer + packed-cumsum kv_indptr + kv_indices) backed by per-layer unified BF16 pool, plus a dedicated triton kernel that handles V4-specific attn_sink + page_size=1. == Components == 1. New triton kernel `sparse_attn_v4_paged_decode` (atom/model_ops/v4_kernels/paged_decode.py): page_size=1 sparse attention with attn_sink, API aligned with V3.2 mla_decode_fwd naming. 3 unit tests bit-exact vs reference. 2. Per-layer `unified_kv` pool (Phase A, atom/model_ops/attentions/deepseek_v4_attn.py allocator): physically merges SWA ring buffer and compressor paged KV into one contiguous BF16 tensor — kernel uses one base pointer, every index (SWA / CSA / HCA) is a row offset. 3. Per-fwd paged-decode index construction (Phase B, `_attach_v4_paged_decode_meta`): builds 3 kv_indptr cumsums (SWA uniform stride, CSA / HCA packed) + scatters SWA window prefix + fully populates HCA compress section.
