### Kernel Development
Steps to add a new kernel:
1. Implement the kernel in [csrc](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/tree/main/sgl-kernel/csrc)
2. Expose the interface in [include/sgl_kernel_ops.h](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/blob/main/sgl-kernel/include/sgl_kernel_ops.h)
3. Create torch extension in [csrc/torch_extension.cc](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/blob/main/sgl-kernel/csrc/torch_extension.cc)
4. Update [CMakeLists.txt](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/blob/main/sgl-kernel/CMakeLists.txt) to include new CUDA source
5. Expose Python interface in [python](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/blob/main/sgl-kernel/python/sgl_kernel)
### Development Tips
1. When implementing kernels in [csrc](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/tree/main/sgl-kernel/csrc), only define pure CUDA files and C++ interfaces. If you need to use `Torch::tensor`, use `<torch/all.h>` instead of `<torch/extension.h>`. Using `<torch/extension.h>` will cause compilation errors when using SABI.
2. When creating torch extensions, add the function definition with `m.def`, and device binding with `m.impl`:
- Using torch.compile need `m.def` with schema, it helps auto capture the custom kernel. Reference: [How to add FakeTensor](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_W62p8WJOQQUzPsJYa7s701JXt0qf2OfLub2sbkHOaU/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.ptttacy8y1u9)
- How to write schema: [Schema reference](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/blob/main/aten/src/ATen/native/README.md#func)
```cpp
// We need def with schema here for torch.compile
m.def(
"bmm_fp8(Tensor A, Tensor B, Tensor! D, Tensor A_scale, Tensor B_scale, Tensor workspace_buffer, int "
"cublas_handle, int cuda_stream) -> ()");
m.impl("bmm_fp8", torch::kCUDA, &bmm_fp8);
```
3. When exposing Python interfaces, avoid using kwargs in C++ interface kernels.
**Avoid this:**
```cpp
torch.ops.sgl_kernel.apply_rope_pos_ids_cos_sin_cache.default(
q=query.view(query.shape[0], -1, head_size),
k=key.view(key.shape[0], -1, head_size),
q_rope=query.view(query.shape[0], -1, head_size),
k_rope=key.view(key.shape[0], -1, head_size),
cos_sin_cache=cos_sin_cache,
pos_ids=positions.long(),
interleave=(not is_neox),
cuda_stream=get_cuda_stream(),
)
```
**Use this instead:**
```cpp
torch.ops.sgl_kernel.apply_rope_pos_ids_cos_sin_cache.default(
query.view(query.shape[0], -1, head_size),
key.view(key.shape[0], -1, head_size),
query.view(query.shape[0], -1, head_size),
key.view(key.shape[0], -1, head_size),
cos_sin_cache,
positions.long(),
(not is_neox),
get_cuda_stream(),
)
```
### Integrating Third-Party Libraries with Data Type Conversion
When integrating new third-party libraries like flash-attention, you may encounter data type compatibility issues between the C++ interface and PyTorch bindings. For example, the third-party code might use `float` or `int` types, while PyTorch requires `double` and `int64_t`.
> The reason we need `double` and `int64_t` in torch binding is that TORCH_LIBRARY handles the `Python-to-C++` conversion process. Python's `float` data type actually corresponds to `double` in C++, while Python's `int` corresponds to `int64_t` in C++.
To address this issue, we provide the `make_pytorch_shim` function in [sgl_kernel_torch_shim](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/blob/main/sgl-kernel/include/sgl_kernel_torch_shim.h) that handles data type conversions automatically.
When you need to support new data type conversions, you can easily add conversion functions like this:
```cpp
// Map `int` -> `int64_t`
template <>
struct pytorch_library_compatible_type<int> {
using type = int64_t;
static int convert_from_type(int64_t arg) {
TORCH_CHECK(arg <= std::numeric_limits<int>::max(), "int64_t value is too large to be converted to int");
TORCH_CHECK(arg >= std::numeric_limits<int>::min(), "int64_t value is too small to be converted to int");
return arg;
}
};
```
To use this with your library functions, simply wrap them with make_pytorch_shim:
```cpp
/*
* From flash-attention
*/
m.impl("fwd", torch::kCUDA, make_pytorch_shim(&mha_fwd));
```
### Build & Install
Development build:
```bash
make build
```
Note:
The `sgl-kernel` is rapidly evolving. If you experience a compilation failure, try using `make rebuild`.
#### Build with [ccache](https://github.com/ccache/ccache)
```bash
# or `yum install -y ccache`.
apt-get install -y ccache
# Building with ccache is enabled when ccache is installed and CCACHE_DIR is set.
export CCACHE_DIR=/path/to/your/ccache/dir
export CCACHE_BACKEND=""
export CCACHE_KEEP_LOCAL_STORAGE="TRUE"
unset CCACHE_READONLY
python -m uv build --wheel -Cbuild-dir=build --color=always .
```
##### Configuring CMake Build Options
Cmake options can be configuring by adding `-Ccmake.define.<option>=<value>` to the `uv build` flags.
For example, to enable building FP4 kernels, use:
```bash
python -m uv build --wheel -Cbuild-dir=build -Ccmake.define.SGL_KERNEL_ENABLE_FP4=1 --color=always .
```
See CMakeLists.txt for more options.
### Testing & Benchmarking
1. Add pytest tests in [tests/](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/tree/main/sgl-kernel/tests), if you need to skip some test, please use `@pytest.mark.skipif`
```python
@pytest.mark.skipif(
skip_condition, reason="Nvfp4 Requires compute capability of 10 or above."
)
```
2. Add benchmarks using [triton benchmark](https://triton-lang.org/main/python-api/generated/triton.testing.Benchmark.html) in [benchmark/](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/tree/main/sgl-kernel/benchmark)
3. Run test suite
### Release new version
Update version in [pyproject.toml](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/blob/main/sgl-kernel/pyproject.toml) and [version.py](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/blob/main/sgl-kernel/python/sgl_kernel/version.py)
