CuTe DSL GEMM/BMM runners enumerate up to ~2,000 tactics per GEMM shape (CTA tile × cluster × split-K × rasterization × swizzle × A/B swap × prefetch × scheduler), and the AutoTuner JIT-compiles and profiles every candidate on a cold start. This PR lets nvMatmulHeuristics (nvMMH) pick the kernel configurations: nvMMH-aware runners build their tactic list from the top max_tactics configurations that nvMMH ranks for each problem instead of enumerating their full tactic space.
Enabling nvMMH
nvMMH guidance is off by default. To enable it, add the policy to extra_llm_api_options.yaml:
or pass LLM(..., autotuner_nvmmh_config=AutoTunerNvMMHConfig(max_tactics=5)). Runners fall back to their full tactic list when the option is unset, when nvidia-matmul-heuristics is not installed, or when a query returns no usable configuration.
autotuner_nvmmh_config replaces the environment variables of the previous NVFP4-only pruning (TRTLLM_CUTEDSL_NVMMH_ENABLE, TRTLLM_CUTEDSL_NVMMH_FIELDS, TRTLLM_CUTEDSL_NVMMH_MAX_TACTICS), which this PR removes. There is no per-field selection: every field that nvMMH models is used.
How it works
nvMMH chooses, the runner realizes. Every field nvMMH models (CTA tile, cluster shape, split-K, rasterization order, swizzle) is used as returned. Only knobs nvMMH does not model are swept inside each configuration: prefetch, the persistent tile scheduler, and the preferred/fallback cluster launch.
Kernels describe what they can run. Each runner passes nvMMH a validity callback built on the kernel's can_implement, plus backend properties (in-place split-K, column-major rasterization, fallback clusters), so nvMMH ranks only configurations the kernel can run.
Both A/B orientations. The SM107 block-scaled runners query nvMMH for the plain and the A/B-swapped problem at every M and merge the two rankings by nvMMH's ranking score. The SM100 NVFP4 runner does the same where its M rule allows both orientations (128 < M < 256). With nvMMH off, the M rule is unchanged.
Cache identity. The new TunableRunner.tactic_space_key() (default None) appends ("nvmmh", <library version>, max_tactics) to the profiling-cache key, so entries tuned with and without guidance are never mixed. Wrapper runners pass it through: NVFP4GemmUnifiedRunner while its CuTe DSL backend is allowed, and LocalityDomainConcurrentTunableRunner from the runner it wraps.
Library versions. The adapter (tensorrt_llm/_torch/custom_ops/cutedsl_matmul_heuristics.py) supports both the nvidia-matmul-heuristics 0.1.0.x wheels and newer libheuristics builds. It also fixes the precision tokens: NVFP4 is OOTST, while the previous F4F4T parsed as TF32 × E0M3.
Rasterization order. nvMMH's CUTLASS3 cta_order 0 rasterizes along M and 1 along N, as in CUTLASS's own nvMMH provider for that target (heuristics_provider.py#L222). The previous NVFP4 pruning read cta_order only when TRTLLM_CUTEDSL_NVMMH_FIELDS included it, and then mapped 0 to rasterization along N.
¹ BMM: only while its output holds every row of A. ² Only while the output M is not bucketed below the input M. ³ Within the full sweep's M rule (swap A/B for M ≤ 128, no swap for M ≥ 256), so nvMMH ranks both orientations only for 128 < M < 256; the SM107 block-scaled runners rank both orientations at every M.
Kernel and runner changes
SM100 FP8 blockwise GEMM/BMM: N = 32/64 CTA tiles; a tile narrower than a 128-column scale block of B uses that block's scale. Adds split-K: each slice takes a balanced K-tile range and reduce-adds its partial into the zeroed output with TMA.
SM100 block-scaled (NVFP4) GEMM: split-K with balanced K-block ranges and a TMA reduce-add.
SM100 BF16 GEMM: uses the kernel's existing direct split-K. The full sweep adds splits 2/4/8 for FP32 output with K ≥ 4096 and N ≤ 512.
SM107 FP8 blockwise GEMM/BMM: 256-row (B-reuse) tiles split the accumulator update over two warp groups, which removes an 816 B per-thread register spill. For example, BMM B=16 M=16384 N=1024 K=4096 drops from 4.7 ms to 370 µs. nvMMH may now choose these tiles.
SM107 block-scaled GEMM: split-K slices take balanced K-tile ranges, so any split up to the K-tile count runs.
SM107 block-scaled GEMM, nvMMH path: honors TRTLLM_CUTEDSL_DENSE_GEMM_SCHEDULER in the same way as the full sweep.
Fixes
SM100 BF16 GEMM/BMM tuning cache: now keyed on the bucketed output M. Before, every runtime M other than the tuning M missed the cache.
SM100 BF16 GEMM tuning cache: now keyed on the output dtype. Before, an FP32-output split-K winner was replayed for BF16 output.
SM100 BF16 → FP8 BMM: describes its FP8 output to nvMMH (TTQSQ).
SM100 FP8 blockwise and BF16 GEMM/BMM: now profiled with a cold L2, like the NVFP4, MoE and SM107 block-scaled runners.
Numerics
With BF16 output, every split-K slice rounds its partial to BF16 before the TMA reduce-add. As a result, nvMMH-chosen SM100 split-K tactics with BF16 output are not bitwise reproducible across runs and carry about twice the rounding error of the unsplit kernel. The SM100 full sweeps never split K for BF16 output, so the default numerics (nvMMH off) are unchanged. The SM107 block-scaled full sweep already includes split-K.
Dependency
requirements.txt still pins nvidia-matmul-heuristics==0.1.0.27. The GPU tests below pass with both 0.1.0.27 and a newer libheuristics build, so both API generations are covered. The benchmarks use a libheuristics build with the Rubin CUTLASS3 model fixes (trtllm/nvmmh-cutedsl-20261021 @ 86b5c60a), which is being upstreamed separately. On GB300, 0.1.0.27 returns the same nvMMH-guided tactics as this build for 22 of the 24 CuTe DSL GEMM/BMM shapes of the DeepSeek V4.1 Flash benchmark.
Every cold arm uses a fresh autotuner cache file, a fresh container, and fresh CuTe DSL/CUDA JIT caches

The warm-cache replay reruns pair 3 with each arm's autotuner cache from its cold run, so both arms use the same tactics as before without profiling; it shows the run-to-run spread.
Across the 48 CuTe DSL GEMM/BMM shapes of this workload (8 FP8 BMMs and 40 MXFP8 GEMMs), the AutoTuner-profiled time of the tactic picked under nvMMH differs from that of the full-sweep pick by -0.56% on geomean (pair 1). The per-shape range is +5.1% (M=8 N=6144 K=7168, where nvMMH rasterizes along M and the full-sweep winner along N) to -9.3% (M=32 N=2048 K=7168). 30 of the 48 nvMMH picks are configurations that the full sweep does not enumerate, such as split-K 3/7/11/13 or a (4, 1) cluster.

nvMMH GEMM picks alone
To isolate the CuTe DSL GEMM picks, pair 3's full-sweep cache was replayed against a copy in which only the 192 CuTe DSL GEMM/BMM entries (24 shapes × 8 ranks) carry the nvMMH run's picks; every other op keeps its full-sweep pick. Both caches ran twice in one allocation, in ABBA order, with autotuner_nvmmh_config: null.

Why the cold pairs differ
The cold pairs disagree with the warm-cache replay, which reruns both cold caches of pair 3 in one allocation and gives +0.15% for nvMMH. The rank-0 iteration log (the host_step_time of every decode step) shows where the gap comes from. Decode steps normally take about 29.8 ms in every arm, but in many runs a burst of slow steps (over 45 ms, often twice the normal time) appears two to three minutes into the benchmark. It hit all three nvMMH cold arms (86, 181, 332 slow steps; full-sweep cold arms: 12, 25, 116), but it also appears in every warm replay, with the full-sweep cache (123, 132, 121 slow steps) as well as with the nvMMH cache (141), so it is not a property of the nvMMH tactics.

CuTe DSL GEMM picks
Across the 24 CuTe DSL GEMM/BMM shapes, nvMMH leaves 1–4 tactics per shape instead of 5 because, for these small-M FP8 problems, it returns only 3–10 configurations that the kernels implement, several of which differ only in fields the kernels do not expose (e.g. the warp tile). 16 of the 24 shapes pick the same tactic in both arms (pair 1). Timing both picks of the other 8 shapes back to back in one process with the AutoTuner's profiler (cold L2, median of 5 alternating rounds), the nvMMH pick is at most +1.0% (0.1 µs) slower for M ≤ 64 and +1.8% to +2.6% (up to 0.2 µs) at M = 128. In this benchmark each rank decodes at most 32 tokens per step, so only the M ≤ 32 buckets are used. Every nvMMH pick is also in the full sweep's tactic list.
GEMM level (development measurements)
VR200, 29 DeepSeek-V3/R1/V4 reference GEMM/BMM shapes: every nvMMH-guided best tactic is within 3% of the best full-sweep tactic (max +1.6%), with 504 instead of 31,382 tactics profiled (libheuristics 1d25fa8a).
GB300, same shapes, with the released nvidia-matmul-heuristics 0.1.0.27: 25/29 within 3%, with 1,950 → 127 tactics profiled. The misses come from 0.1.0.27's cluster choices.

PR Checklist
Please review the following before submitting your PR:
PR description clearly explains what and why. If using CodeRabbit's summary, please make sure it makes sense.
If PR introduces API changes, an appropriate PR label is added - either api-compatible or api-breaking. For api-breaking, include BREAKING in the PR title.
Any new dependencies have been scanned for license and vulnerabilities
The change adds opt-in nvMatmulHeuristics guidance for CuTe DSL GEMM/BMM autotuning. autotuner_nvmmh_config sets the tactic limit. When unset, unavailable, or unable to produce usable tactics, the runners retain full-sweep behavior. Cache keys now include a runner’s tactic-space policy.
The PR also changes Blackwell and Rubin kernel scheduling, split-K execution, and SM107 blockwise GEMM behavior. Verify split-K output initialization, scheduler behavior, and numerical accuracy across the affected hardware paths. The author notes that SM100 split-K tactics with BF16 output can produce non-bitwise-reproducible results and increased rounding error.
The new configuration appears in the Python API, serving schemas, API-stability reference, and usage manifest. The previous NVFP4-specific environment controls were removed. Confirm that downstream users do not depend on them.
The PR objectives report reduced cold autotuning times, mixed serving-throughput results, and GPU, schema, API-stability, and pre-commit validation. These are reported results, not independently verified here. Review severity counts are unavailable because no current review findings were supplied.
QA Engineer Review
The changes add guided GEMM/BMM autotuner coverage, Blackwell split-K tests, and SM107 BMM tactic checks. They also modify the NVFP4 heuristic test. The supplied changed-file summary does not identify integration tests or test-list edits. The test-list search found an autotuner distributed-strategy entry, but no matching entries for the changed kernel tests. Reported validation includes GPU tests, schema and API-stability tests, LLM-argument tests, and pre-commit checks; these results were not independently verified. Coverage verdict: needs follow-up.

Adds version-compatible queries, validity filtering, ranking, tactic deduplication, cache-key separation, fallback behavior, and guidance for GEMM/BMM runners.
The feature is off by default and falls back to the full sweep, so the blast radius is bounded. Before merge, scope the nvMMH policy per engine, resolve the BF16 split-K rounding concern, and add tests for the policy-dependent cache key.

Add a regression test for the tactic_space_key() cache-key discriminator.
get_cache_key now appends runner.tactic_space_key() when the value is not None. This keeps profiling-cache entries tuned with nvMMH guidance separate from entries tuned without it. The changed tests do not check that separation. They also do not check that the extended key survives save_cache and load_cache, which use str(key) and ast.literal_eval.
These regressions would go unnoticed:
A runner key that drops the discriminator. Entries tuned under one policy would then be reused under the other.
A non-literal discriminator. _deserialize_cache_data would then skip it, and the op would re-profile on every load.
Add a small test in tests/unittest/_torch/misc/test_autotuner.py. Use a stub TunableRunner whose tactic_space_key() returns ("nvmmh", "x", 3) or None, depending on a flag. The test should check three things:
The two keys differ, and the None key equals the old four-element tuple.
A search_cache lookup under one policy misses the entry stored under the other policy.
A save_cache then load_cache round trip in tmp_path keeps the extended key.
The test needs no GPU kernel. Register it in l0_cpu.yml if AutoTunerProfilingCache can be constructed without a GPU. Otherwise, confirm which GPU test list should carry it.

Restrict BF16 split-K guidance.
For an [M, N] BF16 output, allow_split_k is true. The nvMMH path can therefore return split-K tactics for BF16 output, unlike the full sweep. Each partial is converted to the C dtype before the direct TMA reduce-add, so BF16 partials can lose precision before accumulation.

Description
`cp.reduce.async.bulk` is a non-blocking instruction which initiates an asynchronous reduction operation on an array of memory locations specified by the destination address operand `dstMem` with the source array whose location is specified by the source address operand `srcMem`. Otherwise, the behavior is undefined. The addresses `dstMem` and `srcMem` must be aligned to 16 bytes.
The operations supported by `.redOp` are classified as follows:
* The bit-size operations are `.and`, `.or`, and `.xor`.
* The integer operations are `.add`, `.inc`, `.dec`, `.min`, and `.max`. The `.inc` and `.dec` operations return a result in the range `[0..x]` where `x` is the value at the source state space.
* The floating point operation `.add` rounds to the nearest even. The `cp.reduce.async.bulk.add.f16` and `cp.reduce.async.bulk.add.bf16` operations require `.noftz` qualifier. It preserves input and result subnormals, and does not flush them to zero. The default behavior for `cp.reduce.async.bulk.add.f32` is equivalent to specifying optional `.noftz` qualifier which preserves input and result subnormals, and does not flush them to zero.
The following table describes the valid combinations of `.redOp` and element type:
`.dst` | `.redOp` | Element type
--- | --- | ---
`.shared::cluster` | `.add` | `.u32`, `.s32`, `.u64`
When `.sem.scope` is not specified, it defaults to `.relaxed.sys`.
The load operations from `srcMem` in `cp.reduce.async.bulk` are treated as weak memory operation and the complete-tx operation on the mbarrier has `.release` semantics at the `.cluster` scope as described in the Memory Consistency Model. The memory operations are performed in the async proxy.
PTX ISA Notes
Introduced in PTX ISA version 8.0.
Support for `.sem.scope` qualifier is introduced in PTX ISA version 9.3.
Qualifier `.noftz` with `.f32` type introduced in PTX ISA version 9.4.

## Call parameters#
`T.cuda.tile.apply(T.ptx[opcode], *operands, scope="thread", **parameters)`
Operand order: `shared, global_region_or_tensormap for load; global_region_or_tensormap, shared for store/reduction`.
Parameter | Type / default | Meaning
--- | --- | ---
`scope` | static str; default “thread” | Execution scope; group axes follow Explicit CUDA tile patterns. It does not elect an issuing thread.
`box` | static tuple[int]; required | One extent per opcode rank, outer-to-inner, each 1..256.
`coords` | tuple of runtime integers; required | Starting coordinates relative to the descriptor view, outer-to-inner.
`coord_steps` | static nested integer tuples; default () | One rank-length increment vector for each group/repeat axis; must be supplied when these axes exist.
`format` | static dtype str; default operand dtype | Descriptor representation; may be tf32 over float32 storage.
A skipped asynchronous issue performs no completion accounting.
Only the parameters listed here are instruction parameters. Opcode qualifiers are written in `T.ptx[opcode]`.
## Data representation#
The descriptor format and interleave mode define the storage representation. Non-interleaved shared suffix is ceil(box/element_strides); gather4/scatter4 uses (4,box[1]). Interleaved and padded FP4 images are specified below.
## Operand specification#
TMA transfers a descriptor-defined global box to or from a shared-memory image. Select direction, rank, tile/gather/scatter mode, multicast, cache qualifiers, and any reduction operator in the opcode. `apply` encodes the specified descriptor and issues that instruction at explicit coordinates; it does not plan a decomposition of an arbitrary tensor layout.
### Operands and descriptor fields#
For a load the operands are `shared, global`; for a store/reduction they are `global, shared`. The global operand is either a rectangular global tensor region or an ordinary pointer to a caller-encoded TensorMap. </excerpt>

<excerpt>citeturn0search12 [wordlim: 200] Published: 2.0 years ago; PTX ISA, Release 8.5 ... `cp.reduce.async.bulk.tensor` is a non-blocking instruction which initiates an asynchronous reduction operation of tensor data in the `.dst` state space with tensor data in the `.src` state space. ... Each reduction operation performed by `cp.reduce.async.bulk.tensor` has individually `.relaxed.gpu` memory ordering semantics.
PTX ISA, Release 8.5
## Description
`cp.reduce.async.bulk.tensor` is a non-blocking instruction which initiates an asynchronous reduction operation of tensor data in the `.dst` state space with tensor data in the `.src` state space.
The operand `srcMem` specifies the location of the tensor data in the `.src` state space using which the reduction operation has to be performed.
The operand `tensorMap` is the generic address of the opaque tensor-map object which resides either in `.param` space or `.const` space or `.global` space. The operand `tensorMap` specifies the properties of the tensor copy operation, as described in *Tensor-map*. The `tensorMap` is accessed in tensormap proxy. Refer to the *CUDA programming guide* for creating the tensor-map objects on the host side.
Each element of the tensor data in the `.dst` state space is reduced inline with the corresponding element from the tensor data in the `.src` state space. The modifier `.redOp` specifies the reduction operation used for the inline reduction. </excerpt>

L12221: Description
L12222:
L12223: Instruction `multimem.cp.reduce.async.bulk` initiates an element-wise asynchronous reduction operation with elements from source memory address range `[srcMem, srcMem + size)` to memory locations residing on each GPU’s memory referred to by the multimem destination address range `[dstMem, dstMem + size)`.
L12234: The floating point operation `.add` rounds to the nearest even, preserve input and result subnormals, and does not flush them to zero. The `multimem.cp.reduce.async.bulk.add.f16` and `multimem.cp.reduce.async.bulk.add.bf16` operations require `.noftz` qualifier. It preserves input and result subnormals, and does not flush them to zero.
L12235: The default behavior for `multimem.cp.reduce.async.bulk.add.f32` is equivalent to specifying optional `.noftz` qualifier which preserves input and result subnormals, and does not flush them to zero.
L12236: The following table describes the valid combinations of `.redOp` and element type:
L12237:
L12238: .redOp | element type
L12239: --- | ---
L12240: .add | .u32, .s32, .u64, .f32, .f64, .f16, .bf16
L12241: .min, .max | .u32, .s32, .u64, .s64, .f16, .bf16
L12242: .inc, .dec | .u32
L12243: .and, .or, .xor | .b32, .b64
L12244:
L12245: The modifier `.completion_mechanism` specifies the completion mechanism that is supported by the instruction. The modifier `.bulk_group` specifies that the `multimem.cp.reduce.async.bulk` uses bulk async-group based completion mechanism.
L12246: The optional `.sem.scope` qualifier specifies the memory ordering semantics of each individual element-wise reduction in `dstMem` performed by this operation as described in the 【220†Memory Consistency Model】. These are element-wise atomic at the specified scope. Source location accesses are `.weak`, that is, not atomic. When `.sem.scope` is not specified, it defaults to `.relaxed.sys`.
L12247: The load operations from `srcMem` in `multimem.cp.reduce.async.bulk` are treated as weak memory operations as described in the 【220†Memory Consistency Model】.

### 5.2.3. Alternate Floating-Point Data Formats
The fundamental floating-point types supported in PTX have implicit bit representations that indicate the number of bits used to store exponent and mantissa. For example, the `.f16` type indicates 5 bits reserved for exponent and 10 bits reserved for mantissa. In addition to the floating-point representations assumed by the fundamental types, PTX allows the following alternate floating-point data formats:
`bf16` data format:
This data format is a 16-bit floating point format with 8 bits for exponent and 7 bits for mantissa. A register variable containing `bf16` data must be declared with `.b16` type.
`e4m3` data format:
This data format is an 8-bit floating point format with 4 bits for exponent and 3 bits for mantissa. The `e4m3` encoding does not support infinity and `NaN` values are limited to `0x7f` and `0xff`. A register variable containing `e4m3` value must be declared using bit-size type.
`e5m2` data format:
This data format is an 8-bit floating point format with 5 bits for exponent and 2 bits for mantissa. A register variable containing `e5m2` value must be declared using bit-size type.
`tf32` data format:
This data format is a special 32-bit floating point format supported by the matrix multiply-and-accumulate instructions, with the same range as `.f32` and reduced precision (>=10 bits). The internal layout of `tf32` format is implementation defined. PTX facilitates conversion from single precision `.f32` type to `tf32` format. A register variable containing `tf32` data must be declared with `.b32` type.
`e2m1` data format:
This data format is a 4-bit floating point format with 2 bits for exponent and 1 bit for mantissa. The `e2m1` encoding does not support infinity and `NaN`. `e2m1` values must be used in a packed format specified as `e2m1x2`. A register variable containing two `e2m1` values must be declared with `.b8` type.
`e2m3` data format:
This data format is a 6-bit floating point format with 2 bits for exponent and 3 bits for mantissa. The `e2m3` encoding does not support infinity and `NaN`. `e2m3` values must be used in a packed format specified as `e2m3x2`. A register variable containing two `e2m3` values must be declared with `.b16` type where each `.b8` element has 6-bit floating point value and 2 MSB bits padded with zeros.
`e3m2` data format:
This data format is a 6-bit floating point format with 3 bits for exponent and 2 bits for mantissa. The `e3m2` encoding does not support infinity and `NaN`. `e3m2` values must be used in a packed format specified as `e3m2x2`. A register variable containing two `e3m2` values must be declared with `.b16` type where each `.b8` element has 6-bit floating point value and 2 MSB bits padded with zeros.
`ue8m0` data format:
This data format is an 8-bit unsigned floating-point format with 8 bits for exponent and 0 bits for mantissa. The `ue8m0` encoding does not support infinity. `NaN` value is limited to `0xff`. `ue8m0` values must be used in a packed format specified as `ue8m0x2`. A register variable containing two `ue8m0` values must be declared with `.b16` type.
`ue4m3` data format:
This data format is a 7-bit unsigned floating-point format with 4 bits for exponent and 3 bits for mantissa. The `ue4m3` encoding does not support infinity. `NaN` value is limited to `0x7f`. A register variable containing single `ue4m3` value must be declared with `.b8` type having MSB bit padded with zero.
`ue5m3` data format:
This data format is a 8-bit unsigned floating-point format with 5 bits for exponent and 3 bits for mantissa. The `ue5m3` encoding does not support infinity. `NaN` value is limited to `0xff`. A register variable containing single `ue5m3` value must be declared with `.b8` type.

<excerpt>citeturn0search2 [wordlim: 200] Crawled: last month; `cp.reduce.async.bulk` is a non-blocking instruction which initiates an asynchronous reduction operation on an array of memory locations specified by the destination address operand `dstMem` with the source array whose location is specified by the source address operand `srcMem`. ... Instruction `multimem.cp.reduce.async.bulk` initiates an element-wise asynchronous reduction operation with elements from source memory address range `[srcMem, srcMem + size)` to memory locations residing on each GPU’s memory referred to by the multimem destination address range `[dstMem, dstMem + size)`.
`::per_element` | `::ff` | 8bit/ 4bit | NaN / 0xF | 1 byte | Each element is matched with the Matching bit-pattern
##### 9.7.10.28.2. Async Proxy
The `cp{.reduce}.async.bulk` operations are performed in the asynchronous proxy (or async proxy).
Accessing the same memory location across multiple proxies needs a cross-proxy fence. For the async proxy, `fence.proxy.async` should be used to synchronize memory between generic proxy and the async proxy.
The completion of a `cp{.reduce}.async.bulk` operation is followed by an implicit generic-async proxy fence. So the result of the asynchronous operation is made visible to the generic proxy as soon as its completion is observed. Async-group OR mbarrier-based completion mechanism must be used to wait for the completion of the `cp{.reduce}.async.bulk` instructions.

Reject FP8 C with split-K at the kernel boundary.
The production FP8 runner uses Sm100BlockwiseGemmKernel and forces BF16 output, so it does not create this combination. However, Sm100BlockScaledPersistentDenseGemmKernel itself accepts FP8 C and split_k > 1. That path selects CopyReduceBulkTensorTileS2GOp, whose PTX .add form does not support FP8 types.
Reject this combination in __init__ or add split-K-aware validation to can_implement.

Test the unified runner’s policy-dependent cache key.

Add a test in tests/unittest/_torch/misc/test_autotuner.py that checks distinct cache keys for guidance off and on, and no discriminator when CuTe DSL is excluded. This will catch reuse of a tactic tuned under the wrong policy.

LLM accepts an external _mpi_session per instance and passes it to its executor. Reusing that session lets independent executors construct ModelEngine instances in the same worker process. The second engine then overwrites AutoTuner.get().nvmmh_config.
_nvmmh_tactic_space_key() and get_valid_tactics() read the current global policy. The first engine can therefore miss its cache or use the second engine’s tactic guidance, including split-K configurations that can change BF16 rounding.
Keep the policy in the engine or runner tuning context, and derive both tactic enumeration and cache keys from that scoped value.

The nvMMH-guided path is well isolated behind autotuner_nvmmh_config, but a fair amount of this PR changes behaviour with nvMMH off, and the description reads as if only the opt-in path is affected. Please list these explicitly (or split them out):
use_cold_l2_cache=True is newly enabled on the SM100 FP8 GEMM/BMM and BF16 GEMM/BMM runners. That changes which tactic wins for every user, not just nvMMH users.
The SM100 FP8 blockwise full sweep now includes N=32/64 tiles for M≤256 (_sm100_fp8_blockwise_mma_tiler_candidates), backed by new kernel code (sfb_tile_granularity_n, tmem atom repetition).
The SM100 BF16 GEMM full sweep gains split-K candidates for FP32 output, and its unique_id now includes output_dtype (invalidates existing cache entries).
New constraint_specs on the BF16 GEMM/BMM tuning configs.
Rubin dense block-scaled split-K relaxed from "K tiles divisible by split_k" to balanced ranges.
kernels/rubin/blockwise_gemm/blockwise_gemm.py (+738/−384) is mostly an independent rework of the 256-row accumulator update (split over two warp groups, new named barriers 4–6, register re-split, num_acc_stage change). This is a kernel optimization in its own right and would be much easier to review and bisect as its own PR.
CI coverage on SM107.l0_gr100.yml does not reference unittest/_torch/kernels/parallel or test_autotuner.py, so none of the new SM107 tests (BF16 dense, FP8 BMM tile shapes, test_nvmmh_tactics_compute_the_product) and none of the Rubin kernel changes run in CI. Please either add them to an SM107 list or state that they are QA/local-only for now. SM100/SM103 coverage is fine via l0_b200.yml/l0_b300.yml parent directories.
Numerics policy for split-K (see inline). The full sweeps gate in-place split-K on FP32 output because the TMA reduce-add rounds partials to the output dtype; the nvMMH path does not apply that gate for BF16-output GEMMs (BF16, FP8, NVFP4). That should be a deliberate, documented decision rather than an accident of which path is taken.
Smaller points:
max_tactics counts nvMMH configurations; on SM107 each expands across prefetch × scheduler × mixed-cluster, so 5 can mean 20–40 profiled tactics. Worth saying in the field description.
The pure-Python parts (tactic_space_key in the cache key, wrapper passthrough, _merge_nvmmh_rankings, select_tactics, NvMMHConfig validation) have no CPU tests even though they need neither GPU nor nvMMH.
JIRA tag, docs §4.5, golden manifest, schemas and API reference are all updated. The new LLM-arg field still needs the telemetry/privacy CODEOWNER sign-off per AGENTS.md.

allow_split_k here is shape-only, but the full sweep below (line ~10309) only offers split-K when c_dtype_cutlass == cutlass.Float32, with the comment that the TMA reduce-add would otherwise round partial sums to BF16. With nvMMH enabled this runner can therefore select split_k>1 for a BF16 output: each slice's partial is rounded to BF16 before the atomic add, and arrival order makes the result non-deterministic run to run. The nvMMH correctness test uses calc_diff, an aggregate relative metric, which will not notice either effect.
Either pass allow_split_k and c_dtype_cutlass == cutlass.Float32 here so both paths share one policy, or document the precision/determinism trade-off in the description and add an element-wise tolerance check for the BF16 split-K case.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Same numerics question as for the BF16 GEMM: this backend lets nvMMH split K for the SM100 NVFP4 runner (BF16 output, in-place reduce-add into c_tensor), and CuteDSLFp8BlackwellRunner passes allow_split_k=True with a BF16 output too. The NVFP4 full sweep never offered split-K, so enabling nvMMH changes the output's rounding behaviour relative to the default path. If that is intended, say so in the description and in the AutoTunerNvMMHConfig docstring; if not, set split_k_kind="NONE" for BF16-output runners.

The cache-isolation guarantee in the description rests on this line plus the two wrapper passthroughs (NVFP4GemmUnifiedRunner, LocalityDomainConcurrentTunableRunner), yet no test asserts that get_cache_key differs when nvmmh_config is set or that the wrappers forward the key. This is CPU-only and cheap: a fake runner returning a constant from tactic_space_key() plus a check that the key changes, and a monkeypatched _nvmmh_tactic_space_key for the two wrappers. Please add it to test_autotuner.py (it can run in l0_cpu).

On the pinned 0.1.0.27 wheel _ranking_score returns this fallback (estimateSiliconMetricEx/setBackendPropertyValue are absent). If getEx entries lack a runtime key or report 0, every score is 0.0, and _merge_nvmmh_rankings uses strict <, so it emits every config of the first orientation before any of the second. With max_tactics=5 the swapped orientation would never be profiled, silently defeating the "both A/B orientations" design on SM107 and on SM100 for 128<M<256.
Please confirm that 0.1.0.27 entries carry a positive runtime; if not, interleave on ties (or round-robin when all scores are equal) and log once.

library_version() returns "unknown" when the distribution metadata is missing (e.g. a vendored or path-installed module). "unknown" fails this regex, so pairs_ctas switches to the "any even cluster M" rule even on a 0.1.0.x library, which maps cluster M=4 configs onto 2-CTA MMA the model did not intend. Consider also checking the module's __version__, or defaulting to the conservative cluster_m == 2 rule when the version is unknown.

When nvMMH returns configs but none maps onto this kernel (or the query fails after warning_once already fired for a different problem), the runner silently falls back to the full sweep. A user who enabled autotuner_nvmmh_config then sees a slow cold autotune with no indication why. Add a logger.debug (or info) at this fallback point with the problem shape; the same applies to every if nvmmh_tactics: site in this file.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
This changes the default (nvMMH-off) sweep for M≤256 and relies on the new narrow-tile kernel path (sfb_tile_granularity_n, reduced tmem copy repetitions). The only direct correctness coverage is incidental: test_nvmmh_tactics_compute_the_product covers whatever nvMMH happens to return, and the existing SM100 FP8 tests feed randn / k, so neighbouring 128-column scale blocks of B have near-identical scales and a wrong-block read would barely move calc_diff. Please add an SM100 counterpart of test_cute_dsl_fp8_block_scale_bmm_rubin_tile_shapes that forces mma_tiler_n in (32, 64) with deliberately non-uniform per-block scales on B.

Description
Supersedes #19326.
CuTe DSL GEMM/BMM runners enumerate up to ~2,000 tactics per GEMM shape (CTA tile × cluster × split-K × rasterization × swizzle × A/B swap × prefetch × scheduler), and the AutoTuner JIT-compiles and profiles every candidate on a cold start. This PR lets nvMatmulHeuristics (nvMMH) pick the kernel configurations: nvMMH-aware runners build their tactic list from the top
max_tacticsconfigurations that nvMMH ranks for each problem instead of enumerating their full tactic space.Enabling nvMMH
nvMMH guidance is off by default. To enable it, add the policy to
extra_llm_api_options.yaml:or pass
LLM(..., autotuner_nvmmh_config=AutoTunerNvMMHConfig(max_tactics=5)). Runners fall back to their full tactic list when the option is unset, whennvidia-matmul-heuristicsis not installed, or when a query returns no usable configuration.autotuner_nvmmh_configreplaces the environment variables of the previous NVFP4-only pruning (TRTLLM_CUTEDSL_NVMMH_ENABLE,TRTLLM_CUTEDSL_NVMMH_FIELDS,TRTLLM_CUTEDSL_NVMMH_MAX_TACTICS), which this PR removes. There is no per-field selection: every field that nvMMH models is used.How it works
can_implement, plus backend properties (in-place split-K, column-major rasterization, fallback clusters), so nvMMH ranks only configurations the kernel can run.TunableRunner.tactic_space_key()(defaultNone) appends("nvmmh", <library version>, max_tactics)to the profiling-cache key, so entries tuned with and without guidance are never mixed. Wrapper runners pass it through:NVFP4GemmUnifiedRunnerwhile its CuTe DSL backend is allowed, andLocalityDomainConcurrentTunableRunnerfrom the runner it wraps.tensorrt_llm/_torch/custom_ops/cutedsl_matmul_heuristics.py) supports both thenvidia-matmul-heuristics0.1.0.x wheels and newer libheuristics builds. It also fixes the precision tokens: NVFP4 isOOTST, while the previousF4F4Tparsed as TF32 × E0M3.cta_order0 rasterizes along M and 1 along N, as in CUTLASS's own nvMMH provider for that target (heuristics_provider.py#L222). The previous NVFP4 pruning readcta_orderonly whenTRTLLM_CUTEDSL_NVMMH_FIELDSincluded it, and then mapped 0 to rasterization along N.¹ BMM: only while its output holds every row of A. ² Only while the output M is not bucketed below the input M. ³ Within the full sweep's M rule (swap A/B for M ≤ 128, no swap for M ≥ 256), so nvMMH ranks both orientations only for 128 < M < 256; the SM107 block-scaled runners rank both orientations at every M.

TTQSQ).Numerics
With BF16 output, every split-K slice rounds its partial to BF16 before the TMA reduce-add. As a result, nvMMH-chosen SM100 split-K tactics with BF16 output are not bitwise reproducible across runs and carry about twice the rounding error of the unsplit kernel. The SM100 full sweeps never split K for BF16 output, so the default numerics (nvMMH off) are unchanged. The SM107 block-scaled full sweep already includes split-K.
Dependency
requirements.txtstill pinsnvidia-matmul-heuristics==0.1.0.27. The GPU tests below pass with both 0.1.0.27 and a newer libheuristics build, so both API generations are covered. The benchmarks use a libheuristics build with the Rubin CUTLASS3 model fixes (trtllm/nvmmh-cutedsl-20261021@86b5c60a), which is being upstreamed separately. On GB300, 0.1.0.27 returns the same nvMMH-guided tactics as this build for 22 of the 24 CuTe DSL GEMM/BMM shapes of the DeepSeek V4.1 Flash benchmark.Performance

Across the 48 CuTe DSL GEMM/BMM shapes of this workload (8 FP8 BMMs and 40 MXFP8 GEMMs), the AutoTuner-profiled time of the tactic picked under nvMMH differs from that of the full-sweep pick by -0.56% on geomean (pair 1). The per-shape range is +5.1% (M=8 N=6144 K=7168, where nvMMH rasterizes along M and the full-sweep winner along N) to -9.3% (M=32 N=2048 K=7168). 30 of the 48 nvMMH picks are configurations that the full sweep does not enumerate, such as split-K 3/7/11/13 or a (4, 1) cluster.

With a warm cache, where nothing is profiled, the first pass still takes 5.0–9.3 s. The autotuner phase also runs a second 128-token warmup shape that takes 122–145 s in every arm, warm or cold, so it does not depend on the cache or on nvMMH.

nvMMH GEMM picks alone
To isolate the CuTe DSL GEMM picks, pair 3's full-sweep cache was replayed against a copy in which only the 192 CuTe DSL GEMM/BMM entries (24 shapes × 8 ranks) carry the nvMMH run's picks; every other op keeps its full-sweep pick. Both caches ran twice in one allocation, in ABBA order, with
autotuner_nvmmh_config: null.Why the cold pairs differ
The cold pairs disagree with the warm-cache replay, which reruns both cold caches of pair 3 in one allocation and gives +0.15% for nvMMH. The rank-0 iteration log (the
host_step_timeof every decode step) shows where the gap comes from. Decode steps normally take about 29.8 ms in every arm, but in many runs a burst of slow steps (over 45 ms, often twice the normal time) appears two to three minutes into the benchmark. It hit all three nvMMH cold arms (86, 181, 332 slow steps; full-sweep cold arms: 12, 25, 116), but it also appears in every warm replay, with the full-sweep cache (123, 132, 121 slow steps) as well as with the nvMMH cache (141), so it is not a property of the nvMMH tactics.CuTe DSL GEMM picks
Across the 24 CuTe DSL GEMM/BMM shapes, nvMMH leaves 1–4 tactics per shape instead of 5 because, for these small-M FP8 problems, it returns only 3–10 configurations that the kernels implement, several of which differ only in fields the kernels do not expose (e.g. the warp tile). 16 of the 24 shapes pick the same tactic in both arms (pair 1). Timing both picks of the other 8 shapes back to back in one process with the AutoTuner's profiler (cold L2, median of 5 alternating rounds), the nvMMH pick is at most +1.0% (0.1 µs) slower for M ≤ 64 and +1.8% to +2.6% (up to 0.2 µs) at M = 128. In this benchmark each rank decodes at most 32 tokens per step, so only the M ≤ 32 buckets are used. Every nvMMH pick is also in the full sweep's tactic list.

The change adds opt-in nvMatmulHeuristics guidance for CuTe DSL GEMM/BMM autotuning.
autotuner_nvmmh_configsets the tactic limit. When unset, unavailable, or unable to produce usable tactics, the runners retain full-sweep behavior. Cache keys now include a runner’s tactic-space policy.The PR also changes Blackwell and Rubin kernel scheduling, split-K execution, and SM107 blockwise GEMM behavior. Verify split-K output initialization, scheduler behavior, and numerical accuracy across the affected hardware paths. The author notes that SM100 split-K tactics with BF16 output can produce non-bitwise-reproducible results and increased rounding error.
The new configuration appears in the Python API, serving schemas, API-stability reference, and usage manifest. The previous NVFP4-specific environment controls were removed. Confirm that downstream users do not depend on them.
The PR objectives report reduced cold autotuning times, mixed serving-throughput results, and GPU, schema, API-stability, and pre-commit validation. These are reported results, not independently verified here. Review severity counts are unavailable because no current review findings were supplied.
QA Engineer Review
The changes add guided GEMM/BMM autotuner coverage, Blackwell split-K tests, and SM107 BMM tactic checks. They also modify the NVFP4 heuristic test. The supplied changed-file summary does not identify integration tests or test-list edits. The test-list search found an autotuner distributed-strategy entry, but no matching entries for the changed kernel tests. Reported validation includes GPU tests, schema and API-stability tests, LLM-argument tests, and pre-commit checks; these results were not independently verified. Coverage verdict: needs follow-up.
