📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughPer-tensor FP8 SDPA now supports equal, 16-aligned head dimensions up to 128 on SM100-class targets. Compilation passes actual Q/K and V dimensions to TMA descriptors. SM100 and SM107 kernels validate envelope dimensions and use matching fake tensor shapes. A d=80 end-to-end test covers execution and accuracy. ChangesPer-tensor FP8 dynamic dimensions
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This change enables FP8 THD execution and a wider head-dimension envelope, but the current implementation can fail at runtime and may produce incorrect metadata or outputs for valid layouts and scaling inputs.

- Around line 1598-1616: Update the FP8 THD execution path around the metadata
construction to use self._thd_host_lens, matching _execute_thd’s handling of
per-batch and prefix-sum sequence-length inputs. Ensure both forms produce the
normalized B-length arrays, correct cumulative q/k offsets, and the existing
3B+2 metadata layout.
- Around line 1500-1516: Update the THD execution path in _execute_fp8_thd to
receive the output scale so it can apply the same amax_o post-scaling as the
dense path. After the kernel launch, divide amax_o_buf by the clamped output
scale when amax_o is provided, and pass so from the caller while preserving
existing behavior for other paths.
- Around line 1633-1640: Update the per-tensor FP8 THD validation around
lse_tensor and the recorded thd_stats_head_major/thd_stats_head_stride values so
only the head-major compact LSE declaration is accepted, matching the fixed
as_strided view; reject token-major or non-compact declarations before binding
the buffer.

- Around line 1985-1988: Update the dimension validation near the existing
d_qk/d_v envelope check to require d_qk >= TMA_QK_GRANU_ELEMS (128) and d_v >=
the output descriptor box size: TMA_VO_GRANU_ELEMS (128) for FP8 output, or 64
for BF16/FP16 output. Preserve the existing upper-bound and 16-byte stride
checks while rejecting dimensions smaller than their descriptor boxes before
host TMA encoding.
In `@test/python/sdpa/frost/test_sdpa_fp8_sm107.py`:
- Around line 55-56: Add an appropriate low-level test marker, such as L0,
alongside requires_dsl on both new test functions, test_fp8_d80_envelope_e2e and
the other test at the referenced location, since each compiles one kernel and
runs one shape.
- Around line 107-141: Extend the THD test around the existing per-sequence
output validation to compute the reference logsumexp from qs @ ks.transpose(-1,
-2) * scale and assert the corresponding lse slice matches it within an
appropriate tolerance. Use the existing lse buffer and sequence offsets so the
declared smp_lse layout and bound LSE stride are exercised, while preserving the
current output and NaN checks.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
The declared THD LSE layout is ignored; token-major declarations produce wrong LSE data.
check_support accepts two THD LSE layouts and records the choice in self.thd_stats_head_major / self.thd_stats_head_stride (Line 772-782). This method always binds a head-major packed [1, QH, t_q] view with a compact head stride, and the FP8 kernel compile exposes no lse_head_major / lse_head_stride parameters. A caller that declares a token-major or non-compact head-major Stats buffer therefore receives LSE values written in a different layout, with no error.
Add a gate for per-tensor FP8 THD that requires the head-major compact declaration, or plumb the layout into the FP8 kernel as the f16 path does (Line 1331-1337).

cuTensorMapEncodeTiled swizzle box inner dimension width 32B 64B 128B requirement
💡 Result:
When using cuTensorMapEncodeTiled to create a tensor map for the Tensor Memory Accelerator (TMA), the swizzle mode imposes strict requirements on the "inner dimension" of the bounding box (defined as the product of the tile's fastest-changing dimension size, boxDim, and the element size in bytes) [1][2]. When interleave is set to CU_TENSOR_MAP_INTERLEAVE_NONE and a swizzle mode is applied, the bounding box inner dimension must be less than or equal to the selected swizzle size [1][2][3]. The specific requirements are: - CU_TENSOR_MAP_SWIZZLE_32B: The bounding box inner dimension must be less than or equal to 32 bytes [1][2][4]. - CU_TENSOR_MAP_SWIZZLE_64B: The bounding box inner dimension must be less than or equal to 64 bytes [2][3][4]. - CU_TENSOR_MAP_SWIZZLE_128B: The bounding box inner dimension must be less than or equal to 128 bytes [2][3][4]. Failure to adhere to these constraints, or mismatching the TMA swizzle with the subsequent WGMMA shared memory layout, will lead to incorrect data interpretation, as the hardware expects the shared memory indices to follow the specific permutation defined by the swizzle mode [5][6]. In practice, using a swizzle mode where the inner dimension is significantly smaller than the swizzle size may lead to inefficient memory access or performance cliffs [7].

site:docs.nvidia.com/cuda cuTensorMapEncodeTiled boxDim must be less than or equal to globalDim
💡 Result:
The constraint that boxDim must be less than or equal to globalDim is a requirement when using the cuTensorMapEncodeTiled driver API in CUDA [1][2][3]. Specifically, the cuTensorMapEncodeTiled function is used to create a tensor map descriptor object representing a tiled memory region [2][4][5]. According to the official NVIDIA CUDA Driver API documentation, the parameters defining the tensor dimensions are subject to the following rules: 1. globalDim: This array specifies the size of the tensor along each of the tensorRank dimensions. Each dimension must be non-zero and less than or equal to 2^32 [1][6][4]. 2. boxDim: This array specifies the number of elements to be traversed along each of the tensorRank dimensions within the tiled memory region. Each value must be non-zero and less than or equal to 256 [1][6][4]. By definition, the boxDim (the tile size) represents a subset of the total tensor size (globalDim) being accessed or traversed. Therefore, for a valid tensor map configuration, the tile size along any given dimension must not exceed the total size of the tensor along that same dimension (i.e., boxDim[i] <= globalDim[i]) [1][2][3]. Failure to satisfy this or other API-specific constraints (such as alignment requirements for interleave modes) will typically result in a failure of the API call [4][5].

Reject dimensions smaller than the descriptor box.
For FP8 input, TMA_QK_GRANU_ELEMS is 128 and TMA_VO_GRANU_ELEMS is 64. _host uses an output box of 128 elements for FP8 output and 64 for BF16/FP16 output. Reject d_qk < 128 and reject d_v < 128 for FP8 output or d_v < 64 for BF16/FP16 output. Otherwise, cuTensorMapEncodeTiled receives a boxDim larger than globalDim for values such as d_qk = 16 and d_v = 16.

Add an L0–L4 level marker to both new tests.
Both new tests carry only @requires_dsl. The test guidelines require a level marker on every new Python test, with fast cases at L0 and large sweeps at higher levels. These two tests each compile a kernel and run one shape, so a low level fits.

Pushed 4b6503c: the d<=128 envelope is no longer gated to cc10.7 — per-tensor FP8 zero-fill is exact and the descales are scalars, so the argument is arch-independent (the restriction was caution, not a constraint). MXFP8 stays exact-d128 (SF plumbing not audited for padding). The d=80 envelope e2e now runs on every fp8-admitted part and passes on SM100 (cc10.0) silicon: 4/4 in test_sdpa_fp8_sm107.py. |

amax_s is undefined in _execute_fp8; every FP8 THD execute raises NameError.
_execute_fp8 has no amax_s parameter and no local amax_s binding. The signature at Line 1539 accepts amax_o only. Line 1588 therefore fails at runtime before the kernel launches, so the new FP8 THD path cannot run at all.
Add amax_s to the _execute_fp8 signature and to the execute() call site at Line 1089, or pass None here if the caller cannot supply an Amax_S buffer.

Allocate and fill meta and o_desc on the launch stream.
_execute_thd wraps every scratch allocation in _torch_stream_context(current_stream, dev) (Line 1279-1280, Line 1330-1331) so the allocations and the metadata writes are ordered against the kernel that reads them. _execute_fp8_thd allocates meta and o_desc and runs meta.copy_(...) on torch's current stream instead. When current_stream differs from torch's current stream, the H2D metadata copy is unordered against the kernel launch, and the copy is missing from a CUDA-graph capture taken on the handle's stream. The kernel can then read uninitialized seq_kv / cu_q / cu_k values.
Wrap both allocations and the meta fill in the same stream context the f16 path uses.

Reject non-unit S scales before the THD route.
This route accepts reciprocal values through _require_reciprocal_s_scales, but it passes neither descale_s nor scale_s to _execute_fp8_thd. For example, (2.0, 0.5) is accepted and then ignored. Require descale_s == 1.0 and scale_s == 1.0 for per-tensor FP8 until the kernel ABI propagates both values.
Based on learnings: “SM100 and SM120 FP8 kernels convert S to E4M3 without S scaling, so accept only the exact unit pair (descale_s == 1.0 and scale_s == 1.0).”

Normalize amax_o after the FP8 THD launch.
The dense FP8 path divides amax_o_buf by scale_o after the kernel writes the scaled output maximum. This path passes the same fused output scale but returns without the division. When scale_o != 1, callers receive an Amax_O value scaled by scale_o.
Pass scale_o into _execute_fp8_thd and divide amax_o_buf on current_stream after the launch.

Rebased onto develop tip (8ed6be0, still two commits). What the rebase absorbed:
Hardware gate on B300 (cc 10.3, backend 9.25, DSL 4.7.0, FE source-built from this branch): 36 passed across |
Per-tensor FP8 now runs head dims below the d128 tile through the same zero-padding ENVELOPE the f16/bf16 flavors use: compile() takes the actual (d_qk, d_v) so the TMA descriptors carry the real extents (OOB loads zero-fill — exact in FP8 — and O stores clip at d_v). check_support admits equal head dims, d%16==0 (16-byte TMA global-stride rule at BPE=1), d<=128; the descales are scalars so the envelope is arch-independent. MXFP8 stays exact-d128 (SF plumbing not audited for padding). This is the landing zone for the ViT d=72-in-80 contract (e.g. Qwen3-VL vision encoders) without caller-side re-padding to 128. Both fp8 kernel siblings (SM100/SM107) change in lockstep. The THD/varlen leg this PR previously carried is dropped: NVIDIA#622 removed the legacy kernel THD leg it wired; fp8 THD returns as a follow-up on the NVIDIA#606 write_thd_meta device-metadata design.

Move the A001 suppression to the definition line.
Ruff reports A001 on the compile definition. Attach # noqa: A001 to the def compile( line rather than the return annotation. Apply the same correction to the sibling FP8 kernel.

Replace the unsupported d=72 example.
For FP8 tensors, d_qk=72 fails the required 16-byte stride check because 72 is not 16-aligned. Use a supported example such as d=80, or state that callers must provide 16-aligned dimensions.

What
Per-tensor FP8 now serves head dims below the d128 tile through the same zero-padding envelope the f16/bf16 flavors use:
compile()on both fp8 kernel siblings (SM100/SM107, lockstep) takes the actual(d_qk, d_v): TMA descriptors carry the real extents, OOB loads zero-fill (exact in FP8), O stores clip atd_v.check_supportadmits equal head dims,d % 16 == 0(16-byte TMA global-stride rule at BPE=1),d <= 128for per-tensor FP8 on every fp8-admitted part — zero columns are exact in FP8 and the descales are scalars, so the envelope is arch-independent. MXFP8 stays exact-d128 (SF plumbing not audited for padding).This is the landing zone for the ViT d=72-in-80 contract (e.g. Qwen3-VL vision encoders, see #598's benchmark config) without caller-side re-padding to 128.
Scope note
Earlier revisions of this PR also wired fp8 THD/varlen through the kernels' legacy THD leg. #622 removed that leg in favor of the #606
write_thd_metadevice-metadata design, so the THD part is dropped here and returns as a follow-up PR on that design (which also eliminates the host-side metadata sync). This PR is now dense-envelope only.Testing
