Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change removes the unused Amax_S output while preserving routing for graphs that request it, but the current FP8 paths still allow non-unit S scales that the kernels do not implement, and the tests exercise those values despite the required unit-scale contract; this can change output quantization, so merge should wait for correction or explicit owner acceptance.

Nothing consumes Amax_S, and producing it cost every FP8 execute a stream-ordered zero-fill plus a per-row bitcast-int32 atomicMax in the epilogue. Remove it end to end: the three FP8 kernels (SM100, SM107 sibling, SM120) lose the epilogue reduction and the ABI slot, the adapters lose the buffer plumbing, and the engines lose the binding. Amax_O is untouched. Capability honesty: a graph that DECLARES the Amax_S output (a real, non-virtual set_output(True) tensor — the port the op returns unconditionally does not count) is now declined, so it routes to an engine that writes it. The mhas fp8 harness and the frost fp8 suites stop requesting it; the sm120 sink-decline test keeps its behavior with an amax-free rationale. Validation (on top of the BR+SWA branch): analyzer + fp8 + sm100 suites + mhas_v2 (paged/bwd_ragged env-excluded): 2105 pass, fp8 routing unchanged (101 graphs), only the two known pre-existing cu_seq_len failures (9.23 backend).

The packed tile extent is a runtime value that must come without a device read (Rule 3), so it derives from the SF buffer's byte size — THD SF buffers are exactly the packed layout (its head stride could address nothing else); the SF descriptors use B=1 + dynamic tile extents. - Adapter: factor the SM100 THD packing into _thd_pack (mirrors the SM120 class): metadata/O-desc scratch, capacity token floors, zero-capacity clamps, envelope units — used by the f16 _execute_thd and the new FP8/MXFP8 THD branches. FP8/MXFP8 serve the packed contract only (_thd_check_strides_packed; no stride keys in _thd_compile_kwargs). No Amax_S, no descale_s/scale_s — dropped on these kernels (NVIDIA#602/NVIDIA#619); the amax_o protocol (in-kernel atomicMax, device-side scale_o divide) is unchanged under THD. - Engines: the SM100 FP8/MXFP8 rows declare thd=True + cu_seq_len=True; the arch RANGE (sm 100..119) already routes cc10.7 through the SM107 sibling. - pygraph: sdpa_mxfp8 gains trailing use_padding_mask / seq_len_q / seq_len_kv / cu_seq_len_q / cu_seq_len_kv kwargs (sdpa_fp8 already had them) — the THD length carriers, and dense mxfp8 + KV padding becomes constructible for the first time (tested; stats off — padded_stats is not declared). - Tests: THD self-attention (masks x e4m3/e5m2), cross-attention + GQA, causal+sink, THD+ragged-TH1-stats, and cu_seq_len cases for both fp8 and mxfp8; dense mxfp8 KV-padding; sm107 module-level THD-leg load checks. Verified on B200 (backend 9.23.01): test/python/sdpa/frost 669 passed, 5 failed — all five are cu_seq_len graphs hitting the pre-existing native-lowering version gate (fp8-family cu_seq_len needs the unified node, cuDNN >= 9.24/9.25; develop's own f16 cu tests fail identically on this backend and are green on CI's 9.26).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * frost(sdpa): PR #648 review fixes — sdpa_mxfp8 cu_seq_len docstring; E741 renames in the new mxfp8 tests - sdpa_mxfp8 docstring: document cu_seq_len_q / cu_seq_len_kv (prefix-sum semantics, mutual exclusion with seq_len_*, cuDNN 9.24+), matching the sdpa / sdpa_fp8 documentation. - test_sdpa_fwd_mxfp8_sm100.py: rename the six new call sites' O locals to o_out/o_ref (Ruff E741); pre-existing sites unchanged. Not-applicable findings, verified: the dead-unit TMA-load concern is unreachable (THD compiles always carry MASK_PADDED — _mask_flags_from forces it for thd_varlen and _validate_knobs raises otherwise — so the loader's masked-bounds branch resolves the dead unit's empty KV range from the device metadata); test_fp8_thd_leg_loads is already L0 via the file's module-level pytestmark. Validated against the LATEST 9.26 backend (9.26.0.33, headers + libs): fp8/mxfp8/sm107 suites 80 passed (including both cu_seq_len tests the local 9.23 backend gates), f16 THD suite 193 passed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * frost(sdpa): rebase follow-ups — #658 split-kv direct-call tests on the THD ABI; #661 d192 kernels join the shared FP8-family ABI; hoist _thd_lse_tokens_cap - test_sdpa_fwd_split_kv_sm100: the fp8/mxfp8 legs drive the kernel hosts positionally and predate the THD ABI (o_desc_words + n_thd_units, both dense-folded) — pass the same dummies the f16 leg already does. - prefill_d192_d128_{fp8,mxfp8}_sm100 (#661, dense-only): accept the same dense-folded THD ABI slots as their d128 siblings so the adapter's launch shape stays uniform across the SM100 FP8 family (the kernels never read them; CFG.THD_VARLEN=1 still fails at trace time — the engine rows and a check_support gate keep THD routed to d128/d128 only). - api_dsl: the THD LSE token-capacity rule (token-major and COMPACT head-major join the packed-Q floor; head-major with a declared stride carries its own extent) was triplicated across the SM100 executes — one documented helper (_thd_lse_tokens_cap) now owns the subtlety. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * frost(sdpa): fix mhas fp8/mxfp8 ragged NaNs — clamp K/V TMA past the packed total; dead-row O := 0 on zero-length KV Two bugs surfaced by the frost:rel:sdpa:sm100 CI mhas fp8 ragged sweeps (gitlab job 404201758, 16 failures): 1. NaN-poisoned capacity tails: test_mhas_v2 NaN-fills the ragged capacity tail past the packed total, and the last sequence's KV envelope tile loads step into it. The padding mask kills those columns in S (NaN-safe select), but BMM2 still computes P(0) . V(NaN) = NaN. Fix: the THD setup kernel (build_thd_meta_o_kv_descs_kernel) now also emits runtime K/V TMA descriptors with GLOBAL_DIM clamped to the device-side packed total cu_k[B] — tail loads land as TMA OOB zero-fill, zero host reads. The fp8/mxfp8 mainloops read them from two extra o_desc_words slots. 2. Zero-length KV sequences (e.g. seq_len_kv=[0, 83, 77]): an empty mainloop never writes the O TMEM, and the epilogue's `o_chunk * inv_sum(=0)` cannot zero the garbage when it happens to be NaN (uninitialized TMEM on the sequence's first tile). Port the f16 dead-row contract (O := 0, LSE := -inf) into the fp8 sm100/sm107 and mxfp8 epilogues: `row_dead = total_sum <= 0` hoisted above the sink branch, and the stored O elements (plus amax_o inputs) selected to 0 explicitly. Tests: frost fp8/mxfp8 suites get NaN-poisoned capacity tails in _dense_buf (mhas parity) and new zero-length-KV THD regression tests; mhas fp8 fwd+bwd ragged L0 sweeps now 46/46 x3 runs, frost fp8/mxfp8/split-kv/sm107 suites 166/166 on cuDNN 9.26.

Amax_S, and producing it cost every FP8 execute a stream-ordered zero-fill plus a per-row bitcast-int32atomicMaxin the epilogue. This removes it end to end:Amax_Ountouched.amax_sbuffer plumbing and the launch-stream.zero_()removed from both execute paths.Amax_Soutput is declined ("which the FROST engines do not produce") so it routes to an engine that writes it.sdpa_fp8returns theAmax_Sport unconditionally, so the fact counts only a real (non-virtual,set_output(True)) tensor — pinned by a new probe test (unrequested port ⇒ eligible; requested output ⇒ ineligible).Amax_S; the sm120 sink-decline test keeps its behavior with an amax-free rationale.Validation (B200, pip cuDNN 9.23, on top of #584): analyzer + fp8 + sm100 suites + mhas_v2 (paged/bwd_ragged env-excluded): 2105 pass, fp8 routing unchanged (101 graphs), only the two known pre-existing
