frost(sdpa): has_lse specialization for the FP8/MXFP8 SM100 flavors - #574
Merged
Conversation
Follow-up to NVIDIA#512 (f16 flavors): the SM100 FP8/MXFP8 forward kernels now None-specialize their LSE argument. compile() grows has_lse (True default); has_lse=False builds a None fake-LSE and the epilogue guards the Stats store with cutlass.const_expr(lse_tensor is not None), compiling it out entirely — the amax_s/amax_o atomicMax writes are independent and unchanged. Adapter + engine plumbing: - SdpaFwdDslSm100.compile() keys has_lse on sample_lse for the fp8/mxfp8 branch; execute() drops the cached dense dummy-LSE fallback and applies the strict lse_tensor presence contract (both directions) to fp8 too; _execute_fp8/_execute_mxfp8 pass lse=None through to the kernel. - engines.py: _sm100_fp8_spec/_sm100_mxfp8_spec flip lse_optional=True. Every lower_dsl_prefill row is now lse_optional, so the engine-level dummy-LSE carve (dummy_lse_bytes + the carver.take in _execute) is dead and removed. The SM80 row keeps the False default but lowers through lower_sm80_prefill, which never read the flag. Payoff: stats-less FP8/MXFP8 inference graphs report get_workspace_size()==0 like f16, one fewer GMEM write per tile, and the strict lse execute contract is uniform across all flavors. Tests (SM100, cc 10.0): - test_sdpa_fwd_{fp8,mxfp8}_sm100.py: new stats-less zero-workspace tests (generate_stats=False, workspace==0, O/amax vs ref) and an fp8 execute lse-contract test mirroring the f16 one; 55 passed (-m "L0 or L1"). - test_sdpa_graph_analyzer.py: 78 passed. - test_sdpa_fwd_dsl_sm100.py -k graph_api: 12 passed.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughSM100 FP8 and MXFP8 SDPA now support optional LSE output. Stats-less graphs compile out LSE stores, use no dummy-LSE workspace, enforce LSE binding contracts, and retain Amax updates. Tests cover zero-workspace execution and API validation. ChangesSM100 optional LSE support
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Mergeability Score: ⚪ Minimal · up to The PR enables stats-less FP8/MXFP8 execution without an LSE buffer while preserving LSE-backed behavior; the only remaining merge-readiness issue is two test-only output variables that violate repository naming rules, which is localized and straightforward to correct.

…ard (#579) Two follow-ups to #576: 1. #574 (has_lse specialization for the FP8/MXFP8 SM100 flavors) merged between #577 and #576, so the shared adapter now passes has_lse to the fp8 compile() while the SM107 sibling still had the pre-#574 signature - a TypeError on any Rubin fp8 compile at develop tip. This ports #574's fp8-kernel hunks onto the sibling verbatim (LSE None-specialization, compile(has_lse), the specialized epilogue), restoring signature parity with the shared call site. 2. Responding to review on #576: the 9-stage ring with BF16/FP16 O (~242 KiB) exceeds the STANDARD sm_10x 227 KiB per-CTA opt-in and is legal on GR100 only through the sm107 oversized-SMEM launch mode (function attribute 16), which the required internal cutlass-dsl toolchain enables for its sm_107a kernels - board-validated e4m3->bf16 across the full suite. Rather than rejecting output dtypes that demonstrably work on the target stack, a static import-time guard now accounts the geometry against the GR100 hardware budget so a future stage/width bump fails with a clear message instead of at launch. Validated: SM100 box 34 passed; SM107 board 34 passed (full fp8 e2e suite through the sibling, has_lse and no-lse populations both exercised via the suite's generate_stats matrix).

Stats-less FP8/MXFP8 inference graphs go to zero workspace like f16 (
get_workspace_size() == 0— no dummy buffer at any level), one fewer GMEM write per tile, and the strictlse_tensorexecute contract becomes uniform across all SM100/SM120 flavors.Related issues

API and compatibility impact
Stats-less dense FP8/MXFP8 FROST graphs now report
get_workspace_size() == 0(previouslyb*h_q*s_q*4bytes of engine-carved dummy). Passing anlse_tensorto an FP8SdpaFwdDslSm100compiled withoutsample_lsenow raisesValueError(previously silently accepted via the dummy path) — same contract the f16 flavors adopted in #512. Graphs with a Stats output are unchanged.Testing
