From b6e7bca45ac917dedea5a2210567ef525103a521 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2026 06:26:16 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?[perf]=20paged=5Fattn:=20restore=20V1/V2=20adap?= =?UTF-8?q?tive=20dispatch=20+=20V2=20tensor=20pre-alloc=20+=20PARTITION?= =?UTF-8?q?=5FSIZE=20512=E2=86=921024?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Three changes based on reading CCCL agent_reduce.cuh + single_pass_scan_operators.cuh: 1. Restore V1/V2 adaptive dispatch (was hardcoded V1 for all cases). ops.paged_attention_v2 IS a C++ kernel, not pure PyTorch. For sequences > 8192 tokens, V2's partitioned parallelism better utilizes 16 SMs than V1's single-CTA sequential iteration. 2. Pre-allocate V2 intermediate tensors (tmp_output, exp_sums, max_logits) using module-level cache, same pattern as MoE commit d3b1108. Eliminates 3 CUDA mallocs per decode step when V2 is active. 3. PARTITION_SIZE 512→1024. CCCL GridEvenShare insight: with 16 SMs, fewer larger partitions (98 vs 196 for 100K tokens) produce 6.1 CTAs/SM vs 12.3, reducing inter-CTA sync overhead in V2 reduce.
