Dev Engineer Review

This change adds target-specific SM_103 paths for NVFP4 sparse attention, GEMV, hyper-connections, MoE, GDN, speculative verification, and rollback. It also changes shared QSA mapping, Mamba replay, speculative decoding, grouped GEMM, and executor behavior.

The broad shared-code scope creates regression risk. Verify dispatch conditions and fallbacks, tensor layouts and dtypes, CUDA graph replay, synchronization, and state updates. Reviewers should also check numerical behavior and speculative-state correctness in the new kernels. Current review-finding counts are unavailable.

QA Engineer Review

The change adds and modifies tests for target attention, GEMM, HC, MoE, normalization, PLE, SSM, and shared QSA, Mamba, and speculative-decoding behavior. The only confirmed test-list additions are test_fused_strict_accept.py, test_draft_loop_ops.py, and test_greedy_argmax.py in tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_b200.yml. The supplied evidence does not confirm that the target-specific tests are listed in CI or manual-QA lists. No test removals or waivers are identified.

The PR objectives report GB300 test results and pre-commit passing. Those results are author-reported and are not independently established for the current revision. Coverage verdict: needs follow-up, to confirm target-test CI selection and current-revision results.

Description

GB300 performance work on the qwen3_8_flash_next_nvfp4__sm_103__tp1 modeling_v2 target (Qwen3.8-Flash-Next NVFP4, added in #20143 / #20276). It covers the whole Pareto curve at ISL 8192 / OSL 1024 on one GB300 (TP1), with NVFP4 KV cache and bf16 SSM state, for STP and MTP3. Most changes are target-local ops and kernels (CuTe DSL, Triton, CUDA). A few changes touch shared code; they are listed below.

Results

Measured on 1× GB300 at ISL 8K / OSL 1K. Columns are concurrency. con1 is tok/s/user; the other columns are tok/s/GPU.

curve	con1	con2	con4	con8	con16	con32	con64	con128	con256
STP	445	697	1,156	1,733	2,417	3,378	4,580	6,037	7,448
MTP3	857	1,305	1,875	2,751	4,551	5,552	7,132	8,675	10,148

How these were measured:

• The table is the full sweep on the pre-rebase branch.
• The MTP3 rows use a forced acceptance of 3.3 tokens/step. Accuracy and real acceptance are measured separately (see Test Coverage).
• Opt-in configuration used:
  • STP and MTP3: TRTLLM_MODELING_V2_DENSE_FP8=1, TRTLLM_MODELING_V2_GDN_INPROJ_NVFP4=1, the breakable prefill graph with prefill capture buckets up to 16K tokens.
  • STP adds TRTLLM_MODELING_V2_MOE_GEMV=1.
  • MTP3 adds TRTLLM_MODELING_V2_MTP_MOE_NVFP4=1 and TRTLLM_MODELING_V2_MTP_HEAD_NVFP4=1.
• These numbers, including the rebased column below, were measured with three runtime changes that are no longer in this PR: the steady-state verify prepare fast path, TLLM_WORKER_USE_MP_PROCESS=1, and a single cache refresh after the speculative KV-length correction. See Moved out of this PR for what each was measured to contribute.

Key points versus the starting point (NVFP4 KV + bf16 state, before this work), and after rebasing onto this main:

key point	STP before → after	MTP3 before → after	rebased on main (STP / MTP3)
con1 tok/s/user	349 → 451 (+29%)	425 → 857 (+102%)	451 / 857
con32 tok/s/GPU	2,907 → 3,378 (+16%)	3,570 → 5,552 (+56%)	3,311 / 5,417
con256 tok/s/GPU	5,986 → 7,448 (+24%)	4,957 → 10,148 (+105%)	7,351 / 10,164

The rebased branch was A/B-tested on one node against the pre-rebase branch:

• STP: within noise.
• MTP3: +0.6% at con1, +3.5% at con32 and +1.8% at con256.

What changes

Decode at small batch

• Hyper-connection site kernels:
  • Faster 1-row sites, with no weight-load hold by default.
  • 2..16-row sites on a tensor-core launch pair, with the MoE finalize folded in.
  • tc_first extended up to 256 rows.
• FP8 W8A16 GEMVs (fp8_gemv):
  • Used for dense projections under dense FP8, the vocab head, and the 1-row output and shared-expert projections.
  • Row ranges retuned.
• GDN:
  • The in_proj GEMV with a fused conv1d epilogue, for 2..16 verify rows and up to 8 decode rows.
  • Decode rows with TMA state staging, and a copy-free cached replay.
  • Opt-in NVFP4 in_proj for up to 8 rows.
• NVFP4 sparse GQA decode:
  • A CuTe split-K + merge kernel, with a lean one-split variant.
  • A fused decode prologue over NVFP4 KV that also covers verify steps.
• MoE:
  • Opt-in tcgen05 small-row NVFP4 MoE (nvfp4_moe_gemv).
  • Pinned trtllm-gen tactics for the decode buckets, which removes start-to-start variance from tactic selection.

MTP

• Draft step:
  • Runs on the trunk's fused machinery, carries only the draft loop's rows, and computes the sparse query side for the kept rows only.
  • FP8 lm_head copy for the draft head; opt-in NVFP4 draft head and NVFP4 draft-layer experts.
• Verify:
  • Request-grouped NVFP4 sparse GQA with a coalesced gated epilogue, a split last wave and a per-row merge.
  • Every reachable launch plan is compiled up front.
  • Request-tiled index scores.
  • GDN cached-replay verify on a CuTe tensor-core kernel.
• Rollback and PLE: batched rollback of the QSA index planes; fused PLE on verify and mixed steps.
• Bookkeeping: speculative bookkeeping fused inside captured decode steps (fused strict acceptance, draft-loop row selection, bf16 greedy argmax), with fewer launches overall.

Prefill / mixed steps

• MoE and dense projections:
  • Faster prefill CuteDSL MoE.
  • Opt-in per-tensor FP8 dense projections, with the activation amax folded into its producers.
  • tcgen05 dense projections for 17..256 rows (mid_rows_mm).
• HC and GDN:
  • HC sites without a stored normed stream.
  • A leaner GDN prefill block.
• Sparse attention row-tile pass: a persistent pass, a CuTe plan kernel, and no per-step Triton recompiles.
• PLE table: kept in host memory on the GPU's NUMA node.

Shared code outside the target directory

• tensorrt_llm/_torch/speculative/:
  • fused_accept.py, draft_loop_ops.py and greedy_argmax.py (Triton) are new.
  • eagle3.py uses them in captured, generation-only MTP steps; other steps keep the composed ops.
  • interface.py caches the sampling-parameter normalization and stages the RNG uploads in one pinned tensor.
• attention/backends/sparse/qsa/: the decode row mapping is one Triton launch when the batch has no context rows.
• modules/mamba/mamba2_metadata.py: single-launch replay work items for up to 256 decodes.
• modules/fla/cache_manager.py, modules/qwen4_exp/cache_manager.py: GDNReplayState gains an all-layer-commit switch, and Qwen4ExpHybridCacheManager.disable_gdn_cached_replay_all_layer_commit() turns it off for a model whose replay kernel commits wrapping checkpoints itself, as the target's CuTe replay over a bf16 state does. Nothing changes for other models.
• moe/kernels/blackwell/blockscaled_contiguous_grouped_gemm_finalize_fusion.py: prefill MoE epilogue tuning.

Commits

Five commits; the first four touch shared code only, each with its tests.

1. [perf] CuteDSL MoE: opt-in K tile, row-owned epilogue and L2 hints in the finalize-fused grouped GEMM (defaults unchanged for existing callers)
2. [perf] Fewer eager ops in generation-only MTP decode metadata
3. [perf] Fused speculative-decoding bookkeeping in captured MTP decode steps
4. [feat] GDN cached replay: let the model's replay kernel own the checkpoint commit
5. [perf] Qwen3.8-Flash-Next NVFP4 target: GB300 Pareto optimizations for ISL 8K / OSL 1K (the target-local ops, their tests, and the target wiring)

Moved out of this PR

After review, the changes to tensorrt_llm/executor/, pyexecutor/engine/runners/decoder/inputs.py and pyexecutor/kv_cache/mamba_cache_manager/common.py were taken out. These files are identical to main in this PR.

• Steady-state verify prepare fast path (decoder/inputs.py):
  • It applies to every decoder model with one-model MTP or Eagle3, so it moves to its own PR (branch Wanli-Jiang:user/williamj/steady-spec-verify-prepare-v2).
  • It was measured only together with the changes now in commit 2 (plus two upload memos that main has since added): together they took _prepare_inputs from a 2,285 µs to an 896 µs median and gave +3.8% tok/s/user at MTP3 con1. The fast path's own share was not measured separately.
• TLLM_WORKER_USE_MP_PROCESS (executor/executor.py, executor/utils.py): dropped.
  • It runs a TP1 worker in a spawned process without MPI. It only matters in containers that forbid MPI_Comm_spawn, where the alternative is TLLM_WORKER_USE_SINGLE_PROCESS=1.
  • Against that alternative it measured +1.2% (con32) and +7.0% (con256) for STP.
• Single cache refresh after the overlap scheduler's KV-length correction (decoder/inputs.py): dropped.
  • on_update_kv_lens() runs before and after the correction, as on main.
  • On this target that is one extra QSA row-mapping launch, about 4 µs, per captured MTP step.
• V2 Mamba / GDN replay bookkeeping folded into the conv-state promotion (kv_cache/mamba_cache_manager/common.py, called from the GDN and Mamba2 replay states): dropped.
  • ReplayStateUpdateMetadata and _advance_replay_state exist as two identical copies, in modules/fla and modules/mamba, which common.py cannot import. So the helper could only fold the step when possible and leave the fallback to each caller.
  • Merging those copies is a refactor of its own.
  • Without the fold, each captured MTP step keeps 14 more graph nodes, about 21 µs.

Rebase notes

• Rebased onto main b7b797a3aa (2026-10-28). The onboarding commits are already on main as [TRTLLM-17033][feat] Qwen3.8-Flash-Next modeling_v2: CUTEDSL, MTP 1..7, video, FP8/NVFP4 KV, bf16 state, canonical QSA selection, breakable prefill graph, GB300 fast paths #20276; this branch carries only the optimization work, restructured into the five commits above with the fix, review and formatting commits folded in.
• Main's DeviceCopyBuffer already skips unchanged uploads of the mamba state indices and the dummy mask, and its slot-table buffer replaces our sampler slot cache. Our duplicates of both were dropped.
• Main's Mamba cache-manager split ([TRTLLM-16303][refactor] modularize Mamba cache managers #18843) moved the all-layer replay commit into GDNReplayState, and Qwen4ExpHybridCacheManager, the manager this target runs on, had no way to switch it off. Over a bf16 state the target's CuTe replay kernel commits wrapping checkpoints in-kernel, so the manager committed them a second time on steps of 16 or more decode requests, and below 16 the metadata skipped the work items the kernel reads. After the first rebase this showed as gsm8k 73.5 for MTP3 + CuteDSL + fp8 KV + bf16 state (main: 95.94) and a slot-dependent divergence in the MTP7 pass keys. Commit 4 adds the switch to GDNReplayState and the hook to Qwen4ExpHybridCacheManager; the target calls the hook when it binds a bf16 pool and asserts that it took effect.

Test Coverage

On one GB300 with a native build of this main, at this head (186267fb5e) unless noted. The previous head 9d4a426ec4 differs from it only in the cleanup of commit 4 and of the target's replay binding.

• Unit tests:

  • Shared code, all passing:

    test	result
    executor/kv_cache/test_mamba_cache_manager.py	342 passed
    executor/kv_cache/test_mamba_model_managers.py	238 passed
    modules/mamba/test_mamba2_metadata.py	42 passed
    attention/sparse/qsa/test_qsa_sparse.py	103 passed
    speculative/test_fused_strict_accept.py	28 passed
    speculative/test_draft_loop_ops.py	22 passed
    speculative/test_greedy_argmax.py	41 passed

    The mamba2-metadata, QSA and speculative tests ran on 9d4a426ec4. The three new speculative tests are added to l0_b200.yml.

  • Target:

    • test_modeling_v2_qwen4_exp_pool_contract.py (CPU): 22 passed. It includes the check that binding a bf16 pool switches the manager's all-layer commit off.
    • The target's ssm/ op tests: 170 passed, 4 skipped. test_modeling_v2_spec_rollback.py: 23 passed. Both ran on 9d4a426ec4.
    • The full target op suite (739 passed, 4 skipped) and the rest of tests/unittest/_torch/modeling_v2, including the claims and native-claims gates (1508 passed), were last run on 5bca781f96. No changes since then touch them.

• Accuracy (tests/integration/defs/accuracy/modeling_v2/test_qwen4_exp.py):

  case	result	head
  test_gsm8k (STP)	pass: gsm8k 96.25	b409f9cd4a (later changes touch only MTP steps)
  test_mtp1_gsm8k_mmmu_and_video	pass: gsm8k 95.75, acceptance 1.967, MMMU 57.44, videos	9d4a426ec4
  test_mtp3_cutedsl_fp8_kv_bf16_state	pass: gsm8k 96.25, acceptance 3.508 (long context 3.973)	this head
  test_mtp3_long_context_passkey	pass: acceptance 4.000	9d4a426ec4
  test_mtp7_long_context_passkey (NVFP4 KV, bf16 state)	pass: acceptance 6.974	this head

  • Our container forbids MPI_Comm_spawn. The gsm8k cases therefore ran with the TP1 worker in a spawned process, through a local patch that is not part of this PR. The pass-key cases run the executor in-process, as the tests set up.
  • Across these reruns, MTP1 gsm8k ranged 95.75–96.13, MMMU 57.44–59.22 and MTP7 pass-key acceptance 6.83–7.01.
  • test_breakable_prefill_matches_eager was not rerun on this revision.

• Real MTP3 acceptance during development (gsm8k / pass-key): checked for every draft-side change: before 3.547 / 3.57, after 3.545–3.558 / 3.33–3.38.

• pre-commit: passes on every changed file.

PR Checklist

• PR description clearly explains what and why.
• PR follows the TRT-LLM coding guidelines to the best of my knowledge.
• Test cases are provided for new code paths.
• No API changes. The new opt-in switches are environment variables read by the target.
• No new dependencies.

Test abort while work is running.

The supplied change does not identify a test for the new hard-stop path. Add an executor-session unit test that starts a worker, calls abort(), and checks that the worker stops and its future settles without an unbounded wait. Include escalation after shutdown(wait=False) to catch the lifecycle failure above. As per path instructions, “Review TensorRT-LLM production-code changes for meaningful test coverage in addition to normal code review.”

Test nonblocking shutdown with an active worker.

The supplied change does not identify a test for shutdown(wait=False). Add an executor-session unit test with a blocked task. Assert that shutdown returns before the task completes and that the task can subsequently finish. This catches an accidental return to waiting shutdown. As per path instructions, “Review TensorRT-LLM production-code changes for meaningful test coverage in addition to normal code review.”

Capture and replay the folded V2 path.

The new test only toggles is_cuda_graph and runs one update on a fresh manager for each case. It does not capture a CUDA graph or replay it with changed accepted counts. Add a CUDA-gated capture-and-replay case in tests/unittest/_torch/executor/kv_cache/test_mamba_cache_manager.py. Check convolution state, prev_num_accepted_tokens, and cache_buf_idx after each replay. This can catch capture-only failures and stale replay bookkeeping.

Add a regression test for the steady-state speculative verify fast path.

This change adds _record_steady_spec_cache, _can_use_steady_spec_fast_prepare and _apply_steady_spec_fast_prepare. The fast path rebuilds the inputs and metadata of a full pass from cached state. None of the listed tests exercises this path. A missed field can silently diverge from the full pass, for example:

• previous_kv_lens_offsets
• num_extra_kv_tokens
• use_full_generation_page_table
• spec_metadata.request_ids
• the one-hot placeholder rows

The result would be wrong positions or KV lengths in graph replay.

Suggested minimal test, under tests/unittest/_torch/executor/:

1. Use a DecoderInputPreparer with a linear-tree one-model spec config and the overlap scheduler enabled.
2. Run two consecutive verify-only steps with the same requests and slots. The first step records the cache; the second step takes the fast path.
3. Run the second step again with _steady_spec_cache = None to force the full pass.
4. Compare input_ids_cuda, position_ids_cuda, draft_tokens_cuda, previous_pos_id_offsets_cuda, previous_kv_lens_offsets_cuda, kv_cache_params and spec_metadata.seq_lens between the two runs.
5. Add a negative case: a changed slot, a changed verify width, or a request with py_needs_onehot_draft_probs must fall back to the full pass.

As per path instructions: "For each new or materially changed observable behavior, determine whether this PR adds, updates, or clearly identifies an existing test that meaningfully exercises the change."

- Around line 331-337: Update the catalog note associated with CELLS to include
the 64-sequence, 4-row MTP3 verify step as certified on the per-sequence path,
and remove the outdated claim that multi-row sequences are uncertified or use
unfused ops. Keep only the remaining uncertified case, zero-row sequences.

Review comments at
@tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/engine/runners/decoder/inputs.py:
- Around line 786-796: Update the formatting of the `host_position_ids`
assignment in the shown decoder input block to match `ruff-format`, collapsing
the `torch.tensor` call onto one line. Leave the surrounding logic unchanged.

Review comments at @tensorrt_llm/_torch/speculative/eagle3.py:
- Around line 847-863: Add CUDA integration coverage for the fused draft-loop
path in _forward_linear_draft_loop using a deterministic stub draft model and
the same generation-only MTP Eagle step with is_cuda_graph set to false and
true. Compare next_draft_tokens, kv_lens_cuda, and _seq_lens_cuda across both
runs, and update the existing stub metadata to provide is_cuda_graph so the test
reaches its intended assertion.

Review comments at @tensorrt_llm/_torch/speculative/fused_accept.py:
- Around line 137-155: Update the warm-up loop in _warm to pass num_accepted as
both counter and pool for FORCE_NONE and FORCE_BASE, matching strict_accept’s
runtime pointer types; retain the int64 counter and float32 pool for
FORCE_RANDOM so each mode warms the correct Triton variants.

Review comments at @tensorrt_llm/executor/utils.py:
- Line 217: Update the abort flow around self.mpi_pool so it retains worker
process handles before shutdown clears _processes, then uses those handles to
stop still-running workers. Make repeated abort calls safe when _processes is
None, without changing the existing shutdown behavior.

- Line 26: Add a module-level architecture skip after the CUDA availability
assertion in this test module, using pytest’s skip marker to skip unless the
current CUDA device capability is (10, 3). This gates grouped-path tests such as
test_certified_cells and test_other_rows_a_request_and_forced_splits, which
otherwise may run on unsupported devices.

and ensure it contains both rejected and kept rows, so the test exercises
restoration and verifies untouched rows. Update the mask construction near
qsa_rollback_restore; preserve random-mask behavior for the 512-row case if
needed.

Gate the module on SM 10.3, not only on CUDA availability.

The module-level check at line 26 only tests for CUDA. The grouped path requires SM 10.3, and tests that assert or call that path can fail on other CUDA devices instead of skipping. _plan checks torch.cuda.get_device_capability(q.device) != (10, 3) before it returns a grouped plan. test_certified_cells asserts _takes_grouped(args), and test_other_rows_a_request_and_forced_splits calls nvfp4_sparse_gqa_verify_grouped directly. Neither path has an architecture gate.

Add a module-level skip after the existing CUDA assertion:

The small restore cell does not force a mixed rejected and kept set.

The cell description says "two rejected". The test draws rejected with torch.rand(...) < 0.5. With 4 rows, the count can be 0, 1, 3 or 4. A cell with zero rejected rows never exercises the restore. A cell with all rows rejected never checks the "not rejected rows are untouched" invariant. The seeded draw is deterministic today, but it can change if the generator call order changes. The cell name then no longer matches the test.

Build rejected deterministically from the cell. For example, reject exactly half the rows. For rows=512, a random mask is fine.

[P1] This breaks the GLM-5.2 modeling_v2 target's MTP path.

eagle3.py:648 now always passes fused= to _prepare_next_new_tokens. But MTPDraftWorker in glm_moe_dsa/glm_5_2_nvfp4__sm_107__tp16/modeling.py:1587 overrides that method with the old 5-argument signature. That target is already on main via #20517, and it inherits _forward_impl through MTPEagleWorker.

As a result, GLM-5.2 NVFP4 on SM107 TP16 with MTP-Eagle raises TypeError: _prepare_next_new_tokens() got an unexpected keyword argument 'fused' on the first step, during warmup. By then auto has already selected the target, so there is no fallback. Pre-merge CI doesn't run this configuration.

Fix: make the override accept fused: bool = False and forward it to super()._prepare_next_new_tokens(..., fused=fused). No other override of this method exists in the repo.

[farazkh80]

Approved from attention perspective, with a couple questions (non-blocking). Thanks for the quick fix on the GLM-5.2 override!

[farazkh80]

_nvfp4_context_plan sizes the bf16 K/V scratch from every context request’s full KV history, not from this step’s rows. One 512-row chunk on top of 128K tokens of history lists 4096 pages, about 256 MB allocated outside the KV pool.

Should we cap the scratch, or fall back to the split-K path above a page budget?

[farazkh80]

The steady verify fast path is on by default for every one-model linear MTP/Eagle3 run with overlap and CUDA graphs, and it rebuilds the attention metadata from a cached subset of the full pass. No test compares the two paths.

Could we add a unit test that runs one verify-only batch through both paths and checks that the position ids, KV lengths and gather ids match?
