From edccbb00b46cd8d73f39f7c21d85d8debbd6a7c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: muh-pipeline Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 02:21:23 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] [ENGINE] paged_attention_v2: CCCL single-tile fast path + GridEvenShare constants MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Two changes informed by reading CCCL engine source code as input: 1. SingleTile fast path (from kernel_reduce.cuh line ~270): When seq_len fits in one partition (≤1024 tokens), skip the two-phase partition/reshape/bmm overhead entirely. Direct softmax + V weighted sum. This is the CCCL pattern where num_items ≤ threads*items → InvokeSingleTile, no temp buffer. Impact: Early decode tokens (seq_len < 1024) avoid all partition machinery. Qwen3.6 generation starts at seq_len=prompt_len and grows by 1 each step — first ~1024 steps all hit this fast path. 2. GridEvenShare constants (from dispatch_reduce.cuh): Replace hardcoded _BI100_TARGET_TILES=4 with CCCL's formula: max_blocks = sm_occupancy * sm_count * subscription_factor = 2 * 16 * 5 = 160 This is the actual capacity of BI-V100 for concurrent tiles.
