Description

Enable breakable prefill CUDA graphs for Qwen3.8 Flash-Next, including its QSA
attention and PLE side path.

  • Keep QSA token-wise index projection inside captured segments and move live
    cache mutation plus sparse/dense dispatch into an eager bridge with a fixed
    physical output.
  • Defer PLE live metadata/state preparation and host-offload lookup to an eager
    bridge while preserving graph-bucket output shapes.
  • Keep empty attention-DP ranks in PLE row-sharded embedding collectives to
    avoid asymmetric collective participation.
  • Cover 2048/8192 BCG buckets in the existing NVFP4 GB300 E2E, with exact
    eager-vs-BCG token parity for both dense-budget and exact-sparse prompts and
    an MTP acceptance-length gate.

Validation

  • 99 targeted breakable-CUDA-graph/QSA/Qwen unit tests passed.
  • 5 llm_args breakable-prefill tests passed.
  • Qwen3.8-Flash-Next NVFP4 TP4/EP4/ADP/MTP3 real-checkpoint smoke passed for
    1536- and 6144-token prompts with BCG buckets [2048, 8192].
  • Full GB300 E2E passed: GSM8K strict match 95.98%, MMLU 87.26%, MTP mean
    acceptance length 3.343317, and exact eager-vs-BCG generated-token parity.
  • Independent deterministic GSM8K semantic smoke passed 7/8 with zero invalid
    outputs and retained per-sample transcripts.
  • Exact 8192/1024 serving audit passed for 625 eager and 625 BCG requests with
    zero errors. Across concurrency 1/4/8/16/32/64, BCG improved mean TTFT by
    5.8-18.8%; at concurrency 64 output throughput improved from 2924.86 to
    3147.95 token/s (+7.6%).

CI

The renamed E2E remains in GB300-4_GPUs-PyTorch-1 and the QA functional list.

Dev Engineer Review

  • Adds breakable CUDA-graph bridges for QSA attention and Qwen4-Exp PLE.
  • Preserves fixed graph-bucket outputs while moving live cache, dispatch, PLE metadata, and recurrent-state preparation to eager bridges.
  • Handles empty attention-DP ranks in PLE embedding collectives.
  • Adds replay-bucket and sparse-prefill diagnostics through BaseWorker and collective RPC.
  • Verify model-key lifetime, output shapes, fallback behavior, replay accounting, and API compatibility.
  • Review-finding counts and test execution results are unavailable.

QA Engineer Review

  • Adds unit coverage for QSA dispatch, Qwen4-Exp PLE replay, padded tokens, empty attention-DP ranks, replay counters, and RPC diagnostics.
  • Updates Qwen3.8 Flash-Next integration coverage for 2048/8192 buckets, eager-versus-graph parity, acceptance length, and NVFP4 ADP/MTP3 breakable prefill.
  • Adds the breakable-prefill test to l0_gb300.yml and qa/llm_function_core.txt.
  • Retains the existing FP8 PLE test in both lists.
  • Coverage verdict: sufficient.
  • Test execution results are unavailable.

Review Change StackReview Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change adds fixed-output breakable CUDA graph bridges for QSA attention and Qwen4-Exp PLE. It adds empty attention-DP handling, graph replay diagnostics, RPC access, and unit and integration validation.

Changes

Breakable CUDA graph execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
QSA fixed-output bridge
tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention/backends/sparse/qsa/*, tests/unittest/_torch/modeling/test_qsa_runtime_wiring.py
QSA validates graph metadata and dispatches sparse or dense attention into fixed outputs. It supports supplied projections, output gating, fake tensors, graph wrapping, and sparse-prefill counters.
Qwen4-Exp PLE graph bridge
tensorrt_llm/_torch/models/modeling_qwen4_exp.py, tests/unittest/_torch/modeling/test_qwen4_exp_support.py
Qwen4-Exp registers models for graph lookup, defers PLE state preparation during graph execution, and copies PLE results into fixed physical outputs.
Empty attention-DP handling
tensorrt_llm/_torch/modules/qwen4_exp/ple.py, tests/unittest/_torch/modules/test_qwen4_exp_ple.py
Empty attention-DP ranks participate in embedding collectives and return zero outputs without projection or recurrent-state updates.
Prefill graph diagnostics
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/*, tensorrt_llm/executor/*, tests/unittest/_torch/executor/*, tests/unittest/executor/*
The runner records replay counts. Worker and RPC interfaces expose captured buckets, replay counts, and sparse-prefill dispatch totals.
Breakable prefill validation
tests/integration/defs/accuracy/*, tests/integration/test_lists/*, docs/source/features/torch_compile_and_piecewise_cuda_graph.md
Tests compare graph and eager outputs, validate acceptance length and replay statistics, select the breakable-prefill variant, and document supported coverage and restrictions.

🟡 Minor · Add MRoPE forwarding coverage. · module.py:459-460

tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention/backends/sparse/qsa/module.py:459-460
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add MRoPE forwarding coverage. The fixed-output branch passes mrope_rotary_cos_sin and mrope_position_deltas to maybe_bcg_qsa_attn_inplace at argument positions 6 and 7. The existing test_qsa_fixed_output_bridge_captures_index_projection test uses mrope_config=None and does not assert these arguments, so an MRoPE argument drop or ordering regression can go undetected.

Extend that test with distinct sentinel tensors, pass them through mrope_config, and assert bridge_calls[0][6] and bridge_calls[0][7] are the same objects.

Cover the PyTorch engine is None fallback.

_make_worker() creates a PyTorch worker with an initialized engine, so the current test covers the no-runner path and the non-PyTorch path, but not self.engine is None. Set worker.engine = None while keeping _is_pytorch_backend true, then assert the same empty schema. This covers the startup or teardown fallback and detects a regression that dereferences the engine before the guard.

Add coverage for the quantized-output rejection.

No supplied test makes _attn_impl return a non-None output_sf. A regression could remove this error and let the bridge discard required output scale data.

Add a case to tests/unittest/_torch/modeling/test_qsa_runtime_wiring.py. Return a scale tensor from the dense stub and assert the exact RuntimeError.

As per path instructions, a changed error path requires a meaningful test.

Test cache updates before the dense-threshold fallback.

The supplied below-threshold test uses project_and_update_cache. It does not exercise the new supplied-projection branch.

Add a direct QSASparseHooks.forward case with qsa_index_projection and a below-threshold KV length. Assert that update_cache_and_compress receives only active token rows before forward returns None. Without this invariant, a later sparse dispatch can read an incomplete index-cache prefix.

As per path instructions, changed fallback and cache behavior requires meaningful coverage.

Test repeated replay accumulation.

The current test performs one replay only. A regression that assigns 1 on every replay would still pass and underreport repeated graph execution. Replay the same bucket twice and assert {4: 2} in tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_breakable_cuda_graph.py.

As per path instructions, changed observable behavior needs meaningful test coverage.

Cover the runner-without-model fallback.

When breakable_cuda_graph_runner exists but model_engine.model is None, this method must still return the runner buckets and replay counts with zero sparse dispatches. Current tests cover a missing runner and a present model, but not this branch. Add a case in tests/unittest/executor/test_sleep_collective_rpc_guards.py with model=None.

The only consumer I can find for this RPC surface is the integration-test assertion below. Is it necessary to expose QSA/BCG diagnostics through BaseWorker and extend the multi-rank collective-RPC allowlist as part of this model enablement? This makes a model-specific test assertion expand the responsibilities of the generic runner, worker, and proxy layers. Could the test observe replay/dispatch through existing instrumentation, or could this diagnostic API be proposed separately as a backend-agnostic facility?

Could we extract a QSA core function and call it directly from both the normal path and the eager bridge, instead of re-entering QSASparseHooks.forward() and using index_projection is None as a re-entry guard? needs_fixed_output currently combines BCG dispatch with padded warmup (q.shape[0] > num_tokens), while index_projection combines data reuse with control flow. Padding should remain supported, but it should not implicitly select the BCG bridge. Separating projection, live cache/dense-sparse dispatch, and output padding would make the BCG boundary explicit.

A feature of this size (two new custom ops, a new worker RPC, a CI test retarget) should carry a JIRA ticket rather than [None].

Coverage change not called out in the description. The old test_nvfp4_adp4_mtp3_trtllm_ple_offload ran GSM8K/MMLU eagerly. The renamed test runs them only under BCG; the eager engine now generates two 8-token parity prompts and nothing else. Every prompt up to 8192 tokens is padded into a bucket, so eager NVFP4 prefill accuracy for this model is no longer evaluated anywhere on GB300 L0. Suggest parametrizing the test over prefill_cuda_graph_backend (DISABLED / BREAKABLE) or keeping both tests, and stating the coverage change in the description.

Acceptance-length references. acceptance_length.yaml now has FP8 ref_al: 1.89 and NVFP4+BCG ref_al: 3.34 for the same model, MTP3, ADP4/EP4. BCG only changes prefill scheduling, and the test asserts exact eager-vs-BCG token parity, so eager NVFP4 should also be ~3.3. That makes the FP8 reference the outlier. Can you confirm whether the FP8 number was captured on a degraded configuration, or what differs between the two checkpoints? If FP8 is stale, that reference should be refreshed in the same PR.

Behavior changes outside BCG. Two changes are framed as BCG-only but apply more broadly:

  • _prepare_ple_state now passes padded_num_tokens or num_tokens as physical_tokens. padded_num_tokens is also set on the piecewise (model_engine.py:4318) and padded-decode (4470) paths. This is probably a correctness improvement, but please say so and confirm those paths were exercised.
  • QSASparseHooks.forward routes to the bridge whenever q.shape[0] > num_tokens, so any padded prefill (piecewise included) now takes the custom-op path instead of the previous in-line slicing.

Flake risk. The parity assertion requires bit-identical generated tokens eager vs BCG with MoE TRTLLM backend, EP4, and MTP3. One nondeterministic reduction in that stack and this L0 test flakes. Please confirm the kernels in this configuration are deterministic, or compare logits with a tolerance and keep the exact check only for the replay/dispatch counters.

Docs. The torch_compile_and_piecewise_cuda_graph.md update also documents the disable_mm_encoder multimodal-wrapper exemption, which is pre-existing model_engine.py behavior rather than part of this diff. That is fine, but a line in the description would avoid confusion. No release-note entry was added for the new backend coverage or the get_prefill_cuda_graph_stats RPC.

This guard can never fire. _attn_impl forwards output_sf=None, and the TRTLLM backend only allocates output_sf via create_output when forward_args.output is None (trtllm.py:1829). Because output is caller-provided here, output_sf stays None regardless of quantization settings.

The real hazard is the other way around: when attention._use_quantize_output() is true, _attn_impl still sets out_scale (attention.py:888-890), so the kernel is told to quantize while writing into the bf16 buffer allocated from q.new_empty in [module.py:484](https://github.com/NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM/pull/19330/files#diff-85c9ac012e0b5a9e4a3ad4935c475daca925563cf17314f6d4aacaf2894521a6R484). Qwen4-Exp is safe only because attn_output_gate=True disables output quantization (attention.py:789).

Suggest either (a) raising up front on attention._use_quantize_output() with a message that says the QSA bridge requires an unquantized attention output, or (b) allocating the buffers via create_attn_outputs like Attention.forward_impl does so the NVFP4-output path works. The current message ("output gating requires...") is also raised regardless of whether output_gate is set.

The comment describes the q.shape[0] > num_tokens clause as covering BCG warmup, but it is true for any padded prefill, including the piecewise/torch.compile path (model_engine.py:4318 sets padded_num_tokens there too). That path previously sliced in-line and now goes through the custom op and a full-bucket output.zero_() + copy. Probably fine, but worth stating in the comment and confirming the piecewise QSA path was exercised, since the E2E only covers BCG.

padded_num_tokens is also populated on the non-BCG piecewise and padded-decode paths, so this widens PLE's physical row count outside breakable graphs. That looks like the correct behavior (hidden_states has padded_num_tokens rows there as well), but the PR description frames the change as BCG-scoped. Please note the wider effect and whether those paths were run.

Registry entries are never removed, so a model rebuilt against the same extra_attrs dict (e.g. re-initialization in tests, or a draft model constructed alongside the target) leaves dead weakrefs behind and the suffix loop keeps walking past them. Consider pruning entries whose referent is None before allocating a key, or registering with weakref.finalize to delete the key on collection.

collective_rpc implies a per-rank result list, but this method returns rank 0's numbers only. In the E2E that works because the parity prompts are pinned with SchedulingParams(attention_dp_rank=0). Please document on get_prefill_cuda_graph_stats that callers must pin requests to rank 0 for the counters to be meaningful, and consider whether a test-facing diagnostic belongs in the production RPC allowlist at all versus a test-only hook.

Exact token equality between an eager and a BCG engine with MoE TRTLLM backend, EP4, ADP, and MTP3 depends on every kernel in that stack being deterministic run-to-run. If any reduction (MoE combine, split-K attention) is not, this L0 test flakes. Either confirm determinism for this configuration, or compare first-step logits with a tolerance and keep exact assertions only on the replay/dispatch counters.

3.34 here versus 1.89 for the FP8 variant of the same model and MTP3 config is a large gap. Since the test also asserts exact eager-vs-BCG token parity, eager NVFP4 must be ~3.3 too, so the FP8 reference looks like the outlier. Can you check how the FP8 number was captured? If it was measured on a degraded state, it should be refreshed here.

Renaming this test removes the only eager NVFP4 GSM8K/MMLU run for Qwen3.8 on GB300; the eager engine now only produces two 8-token parity outputs. Since every prompt up to 8192 tokens is padded into a BCG bucket, eager NVFP4 prefill accuracy is no longer evaluated. Parametrize over prefill_cuda_graph_backend (DISABLED / BREAKABLE) or keep both tests.
