From 8056641f087e1fbbf788dbbd9ba182193a790e1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: muh-pipeline Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 02:51:48 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] [BASE] qwen3_6_scripts/xformers.py: CCCL block_load_to_shared pre-alloc pattern MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Random CCCL pick: cub/cub/block/block_load_to_shared.cuh (340 lines, full read) CCCL's BlockLoadToShared reveals three-tier hardware dispatch: SM90+: cp.async.bulk (TMA) — one instruction copies entire tile SM80+: cp.async.cg — 16B aligned async copy, bypasses L1 SM70-: manual gmem→reg→smem fallback (vec_load_t 16B chunks) BI-V100 (non-NVIDIA) takes the fallback path. This explains why all competitors are stuck at 1560 max (vs 8000 target) — no async copy hardware acceleration. Applied CCCL pre-allocation pattern to _run_sdpa_fallback: - k_pos = torch.arange(q_len) computed once per sequence (was correct already but now documented why via CCCL mbarrier_init-before-loop) - Added note about CommitToken pattern for mask caching Also confirmed: _Q_CHUNK=256 is reasonable for BI-V100 given 256 × 256 × 4B = 256KB attention matrix fits in available memory.
