From 49802cf8b1ecc61d74f8b180076e078f0ef520fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Justin Hu <181588904+justinhh4@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2026 22:03:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] [CuteDSL] FLCE: 2-SM online-softmax fast path (Blackwell), ~5x over Triton Adds the CuTe DSL fused-linear-cross-entropy (forward + backward), signature-compatible with the Triton LigerFusedLinearCrossEntropyFunction and selected via LIGER_KERNEL_IMPL=cutedsl. The forward is store-free: built on quack's 2-SM (CtaGroup.TWO) tcgen05 GEMM, it computes only the per-row LSE + the target logit in a fused epilogue and never materializes the (BT, V) logits (not even per chunk). The backward recomputes the masked softmax on the fly, tiled over the vocabulary so the grad_weight GEMM contracts over K=BT and writes each slice once. Net on B200 (bf16): up to ~5x faster than the Triton FLCE at LLM vocab sizes and ~1.5-1.9x less peak memory. fp32 / non-Blackwell / softcap / argmax-metrics delegate to the upstream Triton FLCE (the 2-SM GEMM is 16-bit-input only), so those paths are byte-identical to and exactly as fast/lean as Triton. Full feature parity with the Triton FLCE (ce_weight, bias, softcap, label_smoothing, z-loss, ignore_index, token-accuracy, predicted-tokens, use_token_scaling, accum_dtype, mean/sum, forward-only reduction='none'). reduction='none' with grad is refused by design (matches the Triton contract). Tests: 277 passed (LIGER_KERNEL_IMPL=cutedsl). The AMP+bias=False parity tests exercise a Triton addmm-under-autocast path fixed by #1283; stack this on #1283.
