CCCL GridEvenShare principle: each work unit must complete within bounded time. Python fallback decode was O(seq_len) per step — at seq_len > 32K, each decode step took seconds, causing HTTP timeout and service crash during case_truncation (max_tokens=8192). Raised _PYTORCH_DECODE_THRESHOLD from 32768 to 999999 to force all decode through ixformer native paged_attention_v1 kernel, which is O(1) per decode step regardless of sequence length. Competition submission Job 101 crashed at case_truncation phase with RemoteDisconnected. Job 66 (competitor) passed this phase using native kernel at all lengths. Root cause confirmed: Python fallback too slow for production use. Also derived from CCCL grid_even_share.cuh DispatchInit: big_share_items = normal_share_items + tile_items (at most +1 tile) Never let any block take unbounded work.
