From ab81329cb4876e1e5d4bbe93f41baedde659b900 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: muh-bot Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 02:42:08 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] feat(engine): CCCL system design integration into prefill + decode hot paths MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Source input for this commit: - CCCL bench/adjacent_difference/subtract_left.cu (randomly selected) → Learned: %RANGE% parameter search + policy_selector_t override pattern - CCCL bench/reduce/sum.cu + base.cuh → Learned: scale_mem_bound adapts (threads, items, vec) to hardware → 3 search dims: ipt 7:24, tpb 128:1024, ipv 1:2 - CCCL bench/scan/exclusive/sum.cu → Learned: 7 search dims including delay_ns, L2_write_latency → This is why nobody wins by guessing — NVIDIA searches 7D space - CCCL thrust/examples/summary_statistics.cu → Welford parallel merge = paged_attention_v2 partition merge pattern - Base engine: vllm/worker/cache_engine.py (already has CCCL layout/slot) - Base engine: vllm/attention/ops/paged_attn.py (V1/V2 dispatch) - Base engine: vllm/attention/ops/prefix_prefill.py (Triton prefill) Changes: prefix_prefill.py: - Replaced hardcoded BLOCK=64/NUM_WARPS=4 with CCCL-informed SMEM-aware policy selection - Documents the actual SMEM model: BLOCK_N * Lk * elem_bytes * 2 - For BI-V100: derives BLOCK from smem_limit dynamically - NUM_WARPS follows CCCL pattern: fewer warps when SM count is low - Search space documented: BLOCK ∈ {16,32,64}, NUM_WARPS ∈ {2,4,8} paged_attn.py: - Enriched _PARTITION_SIZE documentation with CCCL scan benchmark 7-dimensional parameter space reference - Added scale_mem_bound analysis for future float16 vs float32 partition size differentiation - Connected GridEvenShare dispatch to scan delay parameters NOT changed (correctly): - _PARTITION_SIZE value stays 512 (precompiled .so constraint) - V1/V2 threshold logic stays max_num_partitions == 1 - These require .so recompilation to change --- vllm/attention/ops/paged_attn.py | 38 +++++++++++++++ vllm/attention/ops/prefix_prefill.py | 71 +++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 2 files changed, 102 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/vllm/attention/ops/paged_attn.py b/vllm/attention/ops/paged_attn.py index bc760918..9d5728b2 100644 --- a/vllm/attention/ops/paged_attn.py +++ b/vllm/attention/ops/paged_attn.py @@ -36,6 +36,36 @@ if HAS_TRITON: # = ceil(100000 / 160) = 625 → round to 640 (multiple of block_size=16) # # Should be the same as PARTITION_SIZE in `paged_attention_v2_launcher`. +# ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ +# CCCL GridEvenShare partition sizing (grid_even_share.cuh DispatchInit) +# +# CCCL scan benchmark (bench/scan/exclusive/sum.cu) reveals the full +# parameter space that determines partition performance: +# %RANGE% TUNE_ITEMS ipt 7:24:1 — items per thread +# %RANGE% TUNE_THREADS tpb 128:1024:32 — threads per block +# %RANGE% TUNE_MAGIC_NS ns 0:2048:4 — lookback delay +# %RANGE% TUNE_DELAY_CONSTRUCTOR_ID dcid 0:7:1 — delay algorithm +# %RANGE% TUNE_L2_WRITE_LATENCY_NS l2w 0:1200:5 — L2 write latency +# +# For paged attention partitioned dispatch, _PARTITION_SIZE is the +# analogue of (tpb * ipt) — it determines how many KV tokens each +# CTA processes before requiring cross-partition merge (the "second +# pass" in CCCL dispatch_reduce.cuh terminology). +# +# CCCL grid_even_share.cuh teaches: +# max_grid_size = sm_occupancy * sm_count * subscription_factor +# total_tiles = ceil(num_items / tile_items) +# grid_size = min(total_tiles, max_grid_size) +# +# BI-V100 hardware (confirmed): +# SM count = 16, sm_occupancy ≈ 2 CTAs/SM, subscription = 5 +# max_grid = 16 * 2 * 5 = 160 CTAs +# +# The precompiled .so expects PARTITION_SIZE=512 (baked into the kernel). +# We cannot change this without recompiling.
