From 1a4e100583592ce5de332e0d44591a9da104b105 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: dylanyunlon Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2026 08:11:19 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] [CCCL-PORT] agent_reduce vectorized load pattern + explicit memory management MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Source: cccl_upstream/cub/cub/agent/agent_reduce.cuh agent_reduce.cuh has two data load paths: 1. Vectorized (ConsumeFullTile): loads float4/int4 when aligned, contiguous, trivially_relocatable, sizeof≤8 2. Scalar (ConsumeFullTile): striped access via CacheModifiedInputIterator PyTorch equivalent: .contiguous() enables vectorized GPU memory access. Applied to decode KV gather: - Added del statements for intermediate tensors (k_gathered, v_gathered) to free GPU memory immediately — critical for 16-SM BI-V100 with tight memory budget at seq_len=100K - Documented the memory access pattern matching agent_reduce's approach Also from dispatch_reduce.cuh GridEvenShare: - Adaptive tile sizing for prefix attention context phase - tile_sz computed from score tensor memory budget per sequence - Decode (q_len=1) gets larger tiles, prefill gets smaller ones --- paged_attn.py | 41 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 34 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/paged_attn.py b/paged_attn.py index 48df1ac5..ce83aa95 100644 --- a/paged_attn.py +++ b/paged_attn.py @@ -117,26 +117,53 @@ class PagedAttention: output = torch.empty_like(query) + # ================================================================ + # KV cache gather strategy — from CCCL agent_reduce.cuh + # + # agent_reduce has two load paths: + # 1.
