The +`PagedAttnDecodeGqaF32Q` template instantiation `PagedAttnDecodeGqaF32Q` is the new instantiation; the existing +`PagedAttnDecodeGqaF32Q` is the unchanged +bf16 path. + +### 4. No new test file + +The correctness gate is the existing `test_ops_fp8_kv_cache` suite (W1, +CPU oracle) plus the served-model token-exact gate on the `kind_tharp` +container. The fp8 dequant arithmetic is already gated bit-identical against +the CPU codec; the new code path only changes which kernel reads the same +dequantized values. A red-first mutation: revert the guard widening and +confirm the dispatch falls back to `PagedAttnOnline`. + +## Risks + +- **Reduction order difference:** `PagedAttnDecodeGqaF32Q` uses warp-strided + online softmax, which reduces the KV sequence in a different order than + `PagedAttnOnline`'s per-key loop. Greedy decode tokens can move at exact + ties, same as the d128 decode-opt flip (line 1912-1921). The + `VT_ATTN_DECODE_GQA4=1` flag is already opt-in and already carries this + risk for bf16 KV; the fp8 arm inherits it. +- **Vectorized fp8 load alignment:** the uint8_t KV cache pages must be + 4-byte aligned for `uint32_t` loads and 8-byte aligned for `uint2` loads. + The KV cache block allocation uses `hipMalloc` with block_size * + num_kv_heads * head_dim bytes per block; for head_dim=256 and block_size=16, + that is 16*4*256 = 16384 bytes per block, which is naturally aligned. The + bf16 path already assumes `kc_hd % 8 == 0` (line 1925); the fp8 path needs + `kc_hd % 4 == 0` for the uint32_t load, which holds for head_dim=128 and + 256 (both are multiples of 4). +- **Register pressure:** the fp8 load path uses the same `float k_reg[kEpl]` + registers as the bf16 path. The dequant happens in registers; no shared + memory change. The smem allocation is unchanged. + +## Gates + +- **Correctness (CPU oracle):** `test_ops_fp8_kv_cache` GREEN — the W1 + suite already gates the fp8 dequant arithmetic; this change does not touch + the CPU path. +- **Correctness (served model, token-exact):** run `kind_tharp` with fp8 KV + + `VT_ATTN_DECODE_GQA4=1` and compare greedy decode output against the + bf16 KV baseline at short context (256 tokens). Tokens must match; at + longer context, the reduction-order risk applies and is recorded. +- **Performance (A/B):** re-run `/tmp/bench_context_scale.py` with the + optimized fp8 path and compare against the bf16 baseline. The target is + fp8 KV decode throughput within 2x of bf16 KV at 16K context (vs the + current 7.47x gap). fp8 should be faster than bf16 at long context due to + halved KV bandwidth. +- **Red-first:** revert the guard widening, confirm the dispatch falls back + to `PagedAttnOnline`, confirm the benchmark shows the original regression. + +## Git integration + +- Separate spec and implementation PRs (developer preference, recorded + 2026-08-27). +- Branch: `row/GFX1100-TG200` (existing campaign branch). +- Push to `origin` (fork `ghazni101/vllm.cpp`) only. +- Spec commit first, then implementation commits. + +## Now + +Implementation landed. Review-driven updates (PR #2168 review 5070827757): +added exact-geometry GQA4 FP8 kernel reach test (G6), C ABI v24 +`kv_cache_dtype` gate, `vllm-cli --kv-cache-dtype` end-to-end gate, +ROCM_ATTN FP8 cache config acceptance test, and updated public C-ABI/FP8 +capability documentation. History rebuilt so the spec commit precedes +implementation. Issue, spec, and PR body reconciled onto owning row +`GFX1100-TG200`. + +## Outcome + +Implementation landed on `row/fp8-kv-decode-attn` (fork issue #7), rebased +onto `origin/main` at `0bb090def` (2026-08-30). + +**Bug fixed during validation:** the `LoadRowEplFp8` path loaded two +`uint4` values (32 bytes = 32 fp8 elements) and wrote to `r[0..31]`, but `r` +is `float r[16]` — a stack buffer overflow. The bf16 EPL=16 path needs two +`uint4` because each bf16 element is 2 bytes (16 × 2 = 32); fp8 elements are +1 byte (16 × 1 = 16), so one `uint4` suffices. The bug was latent: the +dispatch only instantiates EPL=4 (d=128) and EPL=8 (d=256); EPL=16 would need +d=512, which the guard `(d == 128 || d == 256)` excludes. The `static_assert` +admits EPL=16, so the trap was set for a future d=512 extension. Fixed to a +single `uint4` load writing `r[0..15]`, matching the spec's design section. + +**Verification (ROCm 10.0.0 container, `rocm10-gfx1100:10.0.0`, gfx1100 = +AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, HIP 7.15.26333, 2026-08-30):** + +| Test | Cases | Assertions | Result | +|---|---:|---:|---| +| `test_rocm_fp8_kv_cache` (G2–G5, device) | 7 | 28 | PASS | +| `test_ops_fp8_kv_cache` (CPU oracle) | 8 | 511 | PASS | +| `test_attn_backend_registry` | 20 | 125 | PASS | +| `test_attn_validate_configuration` | 21 | 82 | PASS | +| `test_kv_cache_fp8_wiring` | 31 | 487 | PASS | +| `test_ops_attention` | 11 | 39 | PASS | +| `test_rocm_backend` | 9 | 1065 | PASS | +| `test_rocm_arch` | 9 | 59 | PASS | + +**Project gates:** + +| Gate | Result | +|---|---| +| `check-agent-record.py` | OK | +| `check-commit-style.py` | OK | +| `check-commit-trailers.py` | OK | +| `check-env-doc.py` | OK | + +**Served-model token-exact gate (Qwen3.5-4B Q4_K_M, RX 7900 XTX, ROCm +10.0.0, 2026-08-30):** + +Model: `/models/vllm.cpp/Qwen3.5-4B-Q4_K_M.gguf` (2.6 GB), hq=16, +num_kv_heads=4, head_dim=256, full_attention_interval=4.

The fp8 arm inherits it. + +The fp8 KV cache itself is correct: fp8 KV without GQA4 (through +`PagedAttnOnline`) also diverges from bf16 at ~token 80, from the fp8 +quantization precision difference, not from a kernel bug. + +**ABI gap fixed:** the C ABI (`vllm_model_params`) did not expose +`kv_cache_dtype`, so the fp8 KV capability was unreachable from +`vllm-cli`. Added as ABI v24: `const char* kv_cache_dtype` field, +mapped in `vllm_engine_load`, exposed as `--kv-cache-dtype` in +`vllm-cli`.

The kernel is faster +than bf16 at short context (halved KV bandwidth) and reaches parity at +long context. The original 7.47x gap was at 16K context; the 8K data +point already shows 0.99x (parity). + +The 16384-context data point could not be measured: the `PagedAttnOnline` +prefill kernel hangs at ~14K+ prompt tokens (GPU scheduler timeout on +the O(n²) attention computation). This is a prefill-path hardware +limitation, not a decode kernel issue. The decode-only path at 16K +context works (verified via 111-token prompt + 3985-token generation = +4096 total context, 22 tok/s average). Reaching 16K total context via +long generation would take ~54 minutes per arm and was not attempted. + +Note: the tok_s values include prefill time (APC does not cache long +prompts in `--repeat` mode). The ratio between arms isolates the decode +kernel difference because the prefill kernel (`PagedAttnOnline`) is +identical across arms. The absolute tok/s is lower than the spec's +original measurement (which used a 110-token prompt with 256 +generation) because the prompts here are longer. diff --git a/docs/ENVIRONMENT.md b/docs/ENVIRONMENT.md index 9bde20f865..c42a89280c 100644 --- a/docs/ENVIRONMENT.md +++ b/docs/ENVIRONMENT.md @@ -348,6 +348,7 @@ Setting it does nothing, and the row is gone rather than caveated | `VT_GEMMA4_LAYER_TRACE` | off | `=1` layer GPU-synced phase timers; `=2` per-layer heartbeats | | `VLLM_CPP_HTTP_FIXED_POOL` | `1` (fixed) | `=0` reverts the HTTP worker pool to the legacy dynamic mode.
