From 63a3024155cb0d4ae1109b8e28a0ec89c5103677 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anthony Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2026 02:21:51 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 01/28] Record: SOTA recipe (PR #162, 1.1483 bpb) + TTT LoRA eval Takes the proven SOTA script exactly (seq2048, MLP 3x, SmearGate, BigramHash, int6+zstd, SWA, Muon WD 0.02, OrthoInit) and adds TTT LoRA evaluation. TTT passes base_model directly (compiled). If TTT works on this architecture: expected ~1.11-1.12 bpb (new record). If TTT fails (SmearGate/BigramHash incompatibility): 1.1483 baseline.

Get block ID with `tl.program_id(axis)`. Compute element offsets with `tl.arange(0, BLOCK_SIZE)`. Build `mask = offsets < n_elements` for all loads/stores. + +**Block sizes:** Strongly prefer powers of two (required for `tl.arange`; non-power-of-two may work but can reduce performance). Declare as `tl.constexpr` parameters. Use `@triton.autotune` to sweep `BLOCK_SIZE_M/N/K` configs per hardware. + +**Memory hierarchy:** Keep intermediates in SRAM via block-level reductions (`tl.sum`, `tl.max`) before writing to global memory.

Use FP32/FP16 accumulators for numerical stability. + +Key principles / step-by-step +1. Quant format & scales: + - Block scaling: one floating scale per contiguous block (e.g., 32 elements → 1 scale). Granularities: per-tensor, per-channel, per-group, per-block. + - OCP microscaling: store scales in a packed 5D layout for contiguous access (batch, head, row_block, col_block, scale_elems). Follow vendor layout (NVIDIA vs AMD differ in minor stride). +2. Hardware path (SM100+/CDNA4): + - Use tl.dot_scaled(a_ptr, scale_a_ptr, b_ptr, scale_b_ptr) which performs scaleddot with device TCs. Load tiles and corresponding scale tiles alongside data in the K-loop. +3. Dequantize path (fallback hardware): + - Load quantized tile (packed bits if INT4/FP4). Depack/unpack into FP16/FP32, multiply by scale tile: a_dec = a_unpacked.to(tl.float16) * scale_a. + - Compute acc with FP32: acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32). +4. Mixed formats: + - Support A in FP8 and B in FP4: load each tile and its scale, dequantize separately or call tl.dot_scaled with both scales if hardware supports mixed types. +5. INT4/FP4 unpacking: + - For mxfp4/unpacked INT4: load bytes, extract low/high nibble, sign-extend if needed, cast to float and multiply scale. + +Practical examples +Hardware-accelerated scaled dot (conceptual): +```python +# hardware TCs +a = tl.load(a_ptr + a_offs) # packed mxfp8 tile pointer +scale_a = tl.load(scale_a_ptr + s_offs) +b = tl.load(b_ptr + b_offs) +scale_b = tl.load(scale_b_ptr + s_offs_b) +acc += tl.dot_scaled(a, scale_a, b, scale_b) # returns FP32 accumulatation +``` + +Dequantize fallback: +```python +a_packed = tl.load(a_ptr + ...) +a_unp = unpack_4bit(a_packed) # produce FP16 tensor +a_dec = a_unp.to(tl.float16) * tl.load(scale_a_ptr + ...) +b_dec = ... +acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32) +``` + +Unpack nibble example: +```python +def unpack_4bit(x_byte): + lo = (x_byte & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + hi = ((x_byte >> 4) & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + # sign-extend if signed format, then cast to float + return tl.where(lo>7, lo-16, lo).to(tl.float16), tl.where(hi>7, hi-16, hi).to(tl.float16) +``` + +Best practices & common pitfalls +- Prefer tl.dot_scaled on supported hardware for best perf and lower register pressure. +- Align block shapes so scales and data tiles have contiguous memory access; conform to vendor OCP scale layout (shuffle indices if necessary). +- Use FP16 for dequantized values and FP32 accumulation to reduce numerical error. +- Avoid atomics on scales; load scale tiles once per K-iteration. +- Benchmark against FP16/cuBLAS and tune block sizes and scale block granularity for memory bandwidth vs compute trade-offs. +- Validate symmetric vs asymmetric quantization behavior (handle zero-point offsets in dequant path). +- Test correctness across edge tails (feature blocks not divisible by block size) and ensure sign-extension for signed 4-bit formats. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/.agent/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md b/.agent/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..16e9f9f29 --- /dev/null +++ b/.agent/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md @@ -0,0 +1,154 @@ +--- +name: triton-sequential-stateful-blocks +description: Write Triton kernels with sequential stateful processing inside a single thread block, with mutable register state visible across iterations. +--- + +# Sequential Stateful Processing in a Single Triton Block + +> **Targets:** Triton >= 2.1, SM70+/CDNA2+ + +## Overview + +Some workloads require one thread block to process a sequence of items with mutable register state (e.g., LRU cache routing, sequential assignment).

Use FP32/FP16 accumulators for numerical stability. + +Key principles / step-by-step +1. Quant format & scales: + - Block scaling: one floating scale per contiguous block (e.g., 32 elements → 1 scale). Granularities: per-tensor, per-channel, per-group, per-block. + - OCP microscaling: store scales in a packed 5D layout for contiguous access (batch, head, row_block, col_block, scale_elems). Follow vendor layout (NVIDIA vs AMD differ in minor stride). +2. Hardware path (SM100+/CDNA4): + - Use tl.dot_scaled(a_ptr, scale_a_ptr, b_ptr, scale_b_ptr) which performs scaleddot with device TCs. Load tiles and corresponding scale tiles alongside data in the K-loop. +3. Dequantize path (fallback hardware): + - Load quantized tile (packed bits if INT4/FP4). Depack/unpack into FP16/FP32, multiply by scale tile: a_dec = a_unpacked.to(tl.float16) * scale_a. + - Compute acc with FP32: acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32). +4. Mixed formats: + - Support A in FP8 and B in FP4: load each tile and its scale, dequantize separately or call tl.dot_scaled with both scales if hardware supports mixed types. +5. INT4/FP4 unpacking: + - For mxfp4/unpacked INT4: load bytes, extract low/high nibble, sign-extend if needed, cast to float and multiply scale. + +Practical examples +Hardware-accelerated scaled dot (conceptual): +```python +# hardware TCs +a = tl.load(a_ptr + a_offs) # packed mxfp8 tile pointer +scale_a = tl.load(scale_a_ptr + s_offs) +b = tl.load(b_ptr + b_offs) +scale_b = tl.load(scale_b_ptr + s_offs_b) +acc += tl.dot_scaled(a, scale_a, b, scale_b) # returns FP32 accumulatation +``` + +Dequantize fallback: +```python +a_packed = tl.load(a_ptr + ...) +a_unp = unpack_4bit(a_packed) # produce FP16 tensor +a_dec = a_unp.to(tl.float16) * tl.load(scale_a_ptr + ...) +b_dec = ... +acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32) +``` + +Unpack nibble example: +```python +def unpack_4bit(x_byte): + lo = (x_byte & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + hi = ((x_byte >> 4) & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + # sign-extend if signed format, then cast to float + return tl.where(lo>7, lo-16, lo).to(tl.float16), tl.where(hi>7, hi-16, hi).to(tl.float16) +``` + +Best practices & common pitfalls +- Prefer tl.dot_scaled on supported hardware for best perf and lower register pressure. +- Align block shapes so scales and data tiles have contiguous memory access; conform to vendor OCP scale layout (shuffle indices if necessary). +- Use FP16 for dequantized values and FP32 accumulation to reduce numerical error. +- Avoid atomics on scales; load scale tiles once per K-iteration. +- Benchmark against FP16/cuBLAS and tune block sizes and scale block granularity for memory bandwidth vs compute trade-offs. +- Validate symmetric vs asymmetric quantization behavior (handle zero-point offsets in dequant path). +- Test correctness across edge tails (feature blocks not divisible by block size) and ensure sign-extension for signed 4-bit formats. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/.agents/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md b/.agents/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..16e9f9f29 --- /dev/null +++ b/.agents/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md @@ -0,0 +1,154 @@ +--- +name: triton-sequential-stateful-blocks +description: Write Triton kernels with sequential stateful processing inside a single thread block, with mutable register state visible across iterations. +--- + +# Sequential Stateful Processing in a Single Triton Block + +> **Targets:** Triton >= 2.1, SM70+/CDNA2+ + +## Overview + +Some workloads require one thread block to process a sequence of items with mutable register state (e.g., LRU cache routing, sequential assignment).

Use FP32/FP16 accumulators for numerical stability. + +Key principles / step-by-step +1. Quant format & scales: + - Block scaling: one floating scale per contiguous block (e.g., 32 elements → 1 scale). Granularities: per-tensor, per-channel, per-group, per-block. + - OCP microscaling: store scales in a packed 5D layout for contiguous access (batch, head, row_block, col_block, scale_elems). Follow vendor layout (NVIDIA vs AMD differ in minor stride). +2. Hardware path (SM100+/CDNA4): + - Use tl.dot_scaled(a_ptr, scale_a_ptr, b_ptr, scale_b_ptr) which performs scaleddot with device TCs. Load tiles and corresponding scale tiles alongside data in the K-loop. +3. Dequantize path (fallback hardware): + - Load quantized tile (packed bits if INT4/FP4). Depack/unpack into FP16/FP32, multiply by scale tile: a_dec = a_unpacked.to(tl.float16) * scale_a. + - Compute acc with FP32: acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32). +4. Mixed formats: + - Support A in FP8 and B in FP4: load each tile and its scale, dequantize separately or call tl.dot_scaled with both scales if hardware supports mixed types. +5. INT4/FP4 unpacking: + - For mxfp4/unpacked INT4: load bytes, extract low/high nibble, sign-extend if needed, cast to float and multiply scale. + +Practical examples +Hardware-accelerated scaled dot (conceptual): +```python +# hardware TCs +a = tl.load(a_ptr + a_offs) # packed mxfp8 tile pointer +scale_a = tl.load(scale_a_ptr + s_offs) +b = tl.load(b_ptr + b_offs) +scale_b = tl.load(scale_b_ptr + s_offs_b) +acc += tl.dot_scaled(a, scale_a, b, scale_b) # returns FP32 accumulatation +``` + +Dequantize fallback: +```python +a_packed = tl.load(a_ptr + ...) +a_unp = unpack_4bit(a_packed) # produce FP16 tensor +a_dec = a_unp.to(tl.float16) * tl.load(scale_a_ptr + ...) +b_dec = ... +acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32) +``` + +Unpack nibble example: +```python +def unpack_4bit(x_byte): + lo = (x_byte & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + hi = ((x_byte >> 4) & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + # sign-extend if signed format, then cast to float + return tl.where(lo>7, lo-16, lo).to(tl.float16), tl.where(hi>7, hi-16, hi).to(tl.float16) +``` + +Best practices & common pitfalls +- Prefer tl.dot_scaled on supported hardware for best perf and lower register pressure. +- Align block shapes so scales and data tiles have contiguous memory access; conform to vendor OCP scale layout (shuffle indices if necessary). +- Use FP16 for dequantized values and FP32 accumulation to reduce numerical error. +- Avoid atomics on scales; load scale tiles once per K-iteration. +- Benchmark against FP16/cuBLAS and tune block sizes and scale block granularity for memory bandwidth vs compute trade-offs. +- Validate symmetric vs asymmetric quantization behavior (handle zero-point offsets in dequant path). +- Test correctness across edge tails (feature blocks not divisible by block size) and ensure sign-extension for signed 4-bit formats. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/.claude/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md b/.claude/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..16e9f9f29 --- /dev/null +++ b/.claude/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md @@ -0,0 +1,154 @@ +--- +name: triton-sequential-stateful-blocks +description: Write Triton kernels with sequential stateful processing inside a single thread block, with mutable register state visible across iterations. +--- + +# Sequential Stateful Processing in a Single Triton Block + +> **Targets:** Triton >= 2.1, SM70+/CDNA2+ + +## Overview + +Some workloads require one thread block to process a sequence of items with mutable register state (e.g., LRU cache routing, sequential assignment).

Use FP32/FP16 accumulators for numerical stability. + +Key principles / step-by-step +1. Quant format & scales: + - Block scaling: one floating scale per contiguous block (e.g., 32 elements → 1 scale). Granularities: per-tensor, per-channel, per-group, per-block. + - OCP microscaling: store scales in a packed 5D layout for contiguous access (batch, head, row_block, col_block, scale_elems). Follow vendor layout (NVIDIA vs AMD differ in minor stride). +2. Hardware path (SM100+/CDNA4): + - Use tl.dot_scaled(a_ptr, scale_a_ptr, b_ptr, scale_b_ptr) which performs scaleddot with device TCs. Load tiles and corresponding scale tiles alongside data in the K-loop. +3. Dequantize path (fallback hardware): + - Load quantized tile (packed bits if INT4/FP4). Depack/unpack into FP16/FP32, multiply by scale tile: a_dec = a_unpacked.to(tl.float16) * scale_a. + - Compute acc with FP32: acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32). +4. Mixed formats: + - Support A in FP8 and B in FP4: load each tile and its scale, dequantize separately or call tl.dot_scaled with both scales if hardware supports mixed types. +5. INT4/FP4 unpacking: + - For mxfp4/unpacked INT4: load bytes, extract low/high nibble, sign-extend if needed, cast to float and multiply scale. + +Practical examples +Hardware-accelerated scaled dot (conceptual): +```python +# hardware TCs +a = tl.load(a_ptr + a_offs) # packed mxfp8 tile pointer +scale_a = tl.load(scale_a_ptr + s_offs) +b = tl.load(b_ptr + b_offs) +scale_b = tl.load(scale_b_ptr + s_offs_b) +acc += tl.dot_scaled(a, scale_a, b, scale_b) # returns FP32 accumulatation +``` + +Dequantize fallback: +```python +a_packed = tl.load(a_ptr + ...) +a_unp = unpack_4bit(a_packed) # produce FP16 tensor +a_dec = a_unp.to(tl.float16) * tl.load(scale_a_ptr + ...) +b_dec = ... +acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32) +``` + +Unpack nibble example: +```python +def unpack_4bit(x_byte): + lo = (x_byte & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + hi = ((x_byte >> 4) & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + # sign-extend if signed format, then cast to float + return tl.where(lo>7, lo-16, lo).to(tl.float16), tl.where(hi>7, hi-16, hi).to(tl.float16) +``` + +Best practices & common pitfalls +- Prefer tl.dot_scaled on supported hardware for best perf and lower register pressure. +- Align block shapes so scales and data tiles have contiguous memory access; conform to vendor OCP scale layout (shuffle indices if necessary). +- Use FP16 for dequantized values and FP32 accumulation to reduce numerical error. +- Avoid atomics on scales; load scale tiles once per K-iteration. +- Benchmark against FP16/cuBLAS and tune block sizes and scale block granularity for memory bandwidth vs compute trade-offs. +- Validate symmetric vs asymmetric quantization behavior (handle zero-point offsets in dequant path). +- Test correctness across edge tails (feature blocks not divisible by block size) and ensure sign-extension for signed 4-bit formats. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/.codebuddy/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md b/.codebuddy/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..16e9f9f29 --- /dev/null +++ b/.codebuddy/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md @@ -0,0 +1,154 @@ +--- +name: triton-sequential-stateful-blocks +description: Write Triton kernels with sequential stateful processing inside a single thread block, with mutable register state visible across iterations. +--- + +# Sequential Stateful Processing in a Single Triton Block + +> **Targets:** Triton >= 2.1, SM70+/CDNA2+ + +## Overview + +Some workloads require one thread block to process a sequence of items with mutable register state (e.g., LRU cache routing, sequential assignment).

Use FP32/FP16 accumulators for numerical stability. + +Key principles / step-by-step +1. Quant format & scales: + - Block scaling: one floating scale per contiguous block (e.g., 32 elements → 1 scale). Granularities: per-tensor, per-channel, per-group, per-block. + - OCP microscaling: store scales in a packed 5D layout for contiguous access (batch, head, row_block, col_block, scale_elems). Follow vendor layout (NVIDIA vs AMD differ in minor stride). +2. Hardware path (SM100+/CDNA4): + - Use tl.dot_scaled(a_ptr, scale_a_ptr, b_ptr, scale_b_ptr) which performs scaleddot with device TCs. Load tiles and corresponding scale tiles alongside data in the K-loop. +3. Dequantize path (fallback hardware): + - Load quantized tile (packed bits if INT4/FP4). Depack/unpack into FP16/FP32, multiply by scale tile: a_dec = a_unpacked.to(tl.float16) * scale_a. + - Compute acc with FP32: acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32). +4. Mixed formats: + - Support A in FP8 and B in FP4: load each tile and its scale, dequantize separately or call tl.dot_scaled with both scales if hardware supports mixed types. +5. INT4/FP4 unpacking: + - For mxfp4/unpacked INT4: load bytes, extract low/high nibble, sign-extend if needed, cast to float and multiply scale. + +Practical examples +Hardware-accelerated scaled dot (conceptual): +```python +# hardware TCs +a = tl.load(a_ptr + a_offs) # packed mxfp8 tile pointer +scale_a = tl.load(scale_a_ptr + s_offs) +b = tl.load(b_ptr + b_offs) +scale_b = tl.load(scale_b_ptr + s_offs_b) +acc += tl.dot_scaled(a, scale_a, b, scale_b) # returns FP32 accumulatation +``` + +Dequantize fallback: +```python +a_packed = tl.load(a_ptr + ...) +a_unp = unpack_4bit(a_packed) # produce FP16 tensor +a_dec = a_unp.to(tl.float16) * tl.load(scale_a_ptr + ...) +b_dec = ... +acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32) +``` + +Unpack nibble example: +```python +def unpack_4bit(x_byte): + lo = (x_byte & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + hi = ((x_byte >> 4) & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + # sign-extend if signed format, then cast to float + return tl.where(lo>7, lo-16, lo).to(tl.float16), tl.where(hi>7, hi-16, hi).to(tl.float16) +``` + +Best practices & common pitfalls +- Prefer tl.dot_scaled on supported hardware for best perf and lower register pressure. +- Align block shapes so scales and data tiles have contiguous memory access; conform to vendor OCP scale layout (shuffle indices if necessary). +- Use FP16 for dequantized values and FP32 accumulation to reduce numerical error. +- Avoid atomics on scales; load scale tiles once per K-iteration. +- Benchmark against FP16/cuBLAS and tune block sizes and scale block granularity for memory bandwidth vs compute trade-offs. +- Validate symmetric vs asymmetric quantization behavior (handle zero-point offsets in dequant path). +- Test correctness across edge tails (feature blocks not divisible by block size) and ensure sign-extension for signed 4-bit formats. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/.commandcode/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md b/.commandcode/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..16e9f9f29 --- /dev/null +++ b/.commandcode/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md @@ -0,0 +1,154 @@ +--- +name: triton-sequential-stateful-blocks +description: Write Triton kernels with sequential stateful processing inside a single thread block, with mutable register state visible across iterations. +--- + +# Sequential Stateful Processing in a Single Triton Block + +> **Targets:** Triton >= 2.1, SM70+/CDNA2+ + +## Overview + +Some workloads require one thread block to process a sequence of items with mutable register state (e.g., LRU cache routing, sequential assignment).

Use FP32/FP16 accumulators for numerical stability. + +Key principles / step-by-step +1. Quant format & scales: + - Block scaling: one floating scale per contiguous block (e.g., 32 elements → 1 scale). Granularities: per-tensor, per-channel, per-group, per-block. + - OCP microscaling: store scales in a packed 5D layout for contiguous access (batch, head, row_block, col_block, scale_elems). Follow vendor layout (NVIDIA vs AMD differ in minor stride). +2. Hardware path (SM100+/CDNA4): + - Use tl.dot_scaled(a_ptr, scale_a_ptr, b_ptr, scale_b_ptr) which performs scaleddot with device TCs. Load tiles and corresponding scale tiles alongside data in the K-loop. +3. Dequantize path (fallback hardware): + - Load quantized tile (packed bits if INT4/FP4). Depack/unpack into FP16/FP32, multiply by scale tile: a_dec = a_unpacked.to(tl.float16) * scale_a. + - Compute acc with FP32: acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32). +4. Mixed formats: + - Support A in FP8 and B in FP4: load each tile and its scale, dequantize separately or call tl.dot_scaled with both scales if hardware supports mixed types. +5. INT4/FP4 unpacking: + - For mxfp4/unpacked INT4: load bytes, extract low/high nibble, sign-extend if needed, cast to float and multiply scale. + +Practical examples +Hardware-accelerated scaled dot (conceptual): +```python +# hardware TCs +a = tl.load(a_ptr + a_offs) # packed mxfp8 tile pointer +scale_a = tl.load(scale_a_ptr + s_offs) +b = tl.load(b_ptr + b_offs) +scale_b = tl.load(scale_b_ptr + s_offs_b) +acc += tl.dot_scaled(a, scale_a, b, scale_b) # returns FP32 accumulatation +``` + +Dequantize fallback: +```python +a_packed = tl.load(a_ptr + ...) +a_unp = unpack_4bit(a_packed) # produce FP16 tensor +a_dec = a_unp.to(tl.float16) * tl.load(scale_a_ptr + ...) +b_dec = ... +acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32) +``` + +Unpack nibble example: +```python +def unpack_4bit(x_byte): + lo = (x_byte & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + hi = ((x_byte >> 4) & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + # sign-extend if signed format, then cast to float + return tl.where(lo>7, lo-16, lo).to(tl.float16), tl.where(hi>7, hi-16, hi).to(tl.float16) +``` + +Best practices & common pitfalls +- Prefer tl.dot_scaled on supported hardware for best perf and lower register pressure. +- Align block shapes so scales and data tiles have contiguous memory access; conform to vendor OCP scale layout (shuffle indices if necessary). +- Use FP16 for dequantized values and FP32 accumulation to reduce numerical error. +- Avoid atomics on scales; load scale tiles once per K-iteration. +- Benchmark against FP16/cuBLAS and tune block sizes and scale block granularity for memory bandwidth vs compute trade-offs. +- Validate symmetric vs asymmetric quantization behavior (handle zero-point offsets in dequant path). +- Test correctness across edge tails (feature blocks not divisible by block size) and ensure sign-extension for signed 4-bit formats. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/.continue/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md b/.continue/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..16e9f9f29 --- /dev/null +++ b/.continue/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md @@ -0,0 +1,154 @@ +--- +name: triton-sequential-stateful-blocks +description: Write Triton kernels with sequential stateful processing inside a single thread block, with mutable register state visible across iterations. +--- + +# Sequential Stateful Processing in a Single Triton Block + +> **Targets:** Triton >= 2.1, SM70+/CDNA2+ + +## Overview + +Some workloads require one thread block to process a sequence of items with mutable register state (e.g., LRU cache routing, sequential assignment).

Use FP32/FP16 accumulators for numerical stability. + +Key principles / step-by-step +1. Quant format & scales: + - Block scaling: one floating scale per contiguous block (e.g., 32 elements → 1 scale). Granularities: per-tensor, per-channel, per-group, per-block. + - OCP microscaling: store scales in a packed 5D layout for contiguous access (batch, head, row_block, col_block, scale_elems). Follow vendor layout (NVIDIA vs AMD differ in minor stride). +2. Hardware path (SM100+/CDNA4): + - Use tl.dot_scaled(a_ptr, scale_a_ptr, b_ptr, scale_b_ptr) which performs scaleddot with device TCs. Load tiles and corresponding scale tiles alongside data in the K-loop. +3. Dequantize path (fallback hardware): + - Load quantized tile (packed bits if INT4/FP4). Depack/unpack into FP16/FP32, multiply by scale tile: a_dec = a_unpacked.to(tl.float16) * scale_a. + - Compute acc with FP32: acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32). +4. Mixed formats: + - Support A in FP8 and B in FP4: load each tile and its scale, dequantize separately or call tl.dot_scaled with both scales if hardware supports mixed types. +5. INT4/FP4 unpacking: + - For mxfp4/unpacked INT4: load bytes, extract low/high nibble, sign-extend if needed, cast to float and multiply scale. + +Practical examples +Hardware-accelerated scaled dot (conceptual): +```python +# hardware TCs +a = tl.load(a_ptr + a_offs) # packed mxfp8 tile pointer +scale_a = tl.load(scale_a_ptr + s_offs) +b = tl.load(b_ptr + b_offs) +scale_b = tl.load(scale_b_ptr + s_offs_b) +acc += tl.dot_scaled(a, scale_a, b, scale_b) # returns FP32 accumulatation +``` + +Dequantize fallback: +```python +a_packed = tl.load(a_ptr + ...) +a_unp = unpack_4bit(a_packed) # produce FP16 tensor +a_dec = a_unp.to(tl.float16) * tl.load(scale_a_ptr + ...) +b_dec = ... +acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32) +``` + +Unpack nibble example: +```python +def unpack_4bit(x_byte): + lo = (x_byte & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + hi = ((x_byte >> 4) & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + # sign-extend if signed format, then cast to float + return tl.where(lo>7, lo-16, lo).to(tl.float16), tl.where(hi>7, hi-16, hi).to(tl.float16) +``` + +Best practices & common pitfalls +- Prefer tl.dot_scaled on supported hardware for best perf and lower register pressure. +- Align block shapes so scales and data tiles have contiguous memory access; conform to vendor OCP scale layout (shuffle indices if necessary). +- Use FP16 for dequantized values and FP32 accumulation to reduce numerical error. +- Avoid atomics on scales; load scale tiles once per K-iteration. +- Benchmark against FP16/cuBLAS and tune block sizes and scale block granularity for memory bandwidth vs compute trade-offs. +- Validate symmetric vs asymmetric quantization behavior (handle zero-point offsets in dequant path). +- Test correctness across edge tails (feature blocks not divisible by block size) and ensure sign-extension for signed 4-bit formats. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/.crush/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md b/.crush/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..16e9f9f29 --- /dev/null +++ b/.crush/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md @@ -0,0 +1,154 @@ +--- +name: triton-sequential-stateful-blocks +description: Write Triton kernels with sequential stateful processing inside a single thread block, with mutable register state visible across iterations. +--- + +# Sequential Stateful Processing in a Single Triton Block + +> **Targets:** Triton >= 2.1, SM70+/CDNA2+ + +## Overview + +Some workloads require one thread block to process a sequence of items with mutable register state (e.g., LRU cache routing, sequential assignment).

Use FP32/FP16 accumulators for numerical stability. + +Key principles / step-by-step +1. Quant format & scales: + - Block scaling: one floating scale per contiguous block (e.g., 32 elements → 1 scale). Granularities: per-tensor, per-channel, per-group, per-block. + - OCP microscaling: store scales in a packed 5D layout for contiguous access (batch, head, row_block, col_block, scale_elems). Follow vendor layout (NVIDIA vs AMD differ in minor stride). +2. Hardware path (SM100+/CDNA4): + - Use tl.dot_scaled(a_ptr, scale_a_ptr, b_ptr, scale_b_ptr) which performs scaleddot with device TCs. Load tiles and corresponding scale tiles alongside data in the K-loop. +3. Dequantize path (fallback hardware): + - Load quantized tile (packed bits if INT4/FP4). Depack/unpack into FP16/FP32, multiply by scale tile: a_dec = a_unpacked.to(tl.float16) * scale_a. + - Compute acc with FP32: acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32). +4. Mixed formats: + - Support A in FP8 and B in FP4: load each tile and its scale, dequantize separately or call tl.dot_scaled with both scales if hardware supports mixed types. +5. INT4/FP4 unpacking: + - For mxfp4/unpacked INT4: load bytes, extract low/high nibble, sign-extend if needed, cast to float and multiply scale. + +Practical examples +Hardware-accelerated scaled dot (conceptual): +```python +# hardware TCs +a = tl.load(a_ptr + a_offs) # packed mxfp8 tile pointer +scale_a = tl.load(scale_a_ptr + s_offs) +b = tl.load(b_ptr + b_offs) +scale_b = tl.load(scale_b_ptr + s_offs_b) +acc += tl.dot_scaled(a, scale_a, b, scale_b) # returns FP32 accumulatation +``` + +Dequantize fallback: +```python +a_packed = tl.load(a_ptr + ...) +a_unp = unpack_4bit(a_packed) # produce FP16 tensor +a_dec = a_unp.to(tl.float16) * tl.load(scale_a_ptr + ...) +b_dec = ... +acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32) +``` + +Unpack nibble example: +```python +def unpack_4bit(x_byte): + lo = (x_byte & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + hi = ((x_byte >> 4) & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + # sign-extend if signed format, then cast to float + return tl.where(lo>7, lo-16, lo).to(tl.float16), tl.where(hi>7, hi-16, hi).to(tl.float16) +``` + +Best practices & common pitfalls +- Prefer tl.dot_scaled on supported hardware for best perf and lower register pressure. +- Align block shapes so scales and data tiles have contiguous memory access; conform to vendor OCP scale layout (shuffle indices if necessary). +- Use FP16 for dequantized values and FP32 accumulation to reduce numerical error. +- Avoid atomics on scales; load scale tiles once per K-iteration. +- Benchmark against FP16/cuBLAS and tune block sizes and scale block granularity for memory bandwidth vs compute trade-offs. +- Validate symmetric vs asymmetric quantization behavior (handle zero-point offsets in dequant path). +- Test correctness across edge tails (feature blocks not divisible by block size) and ensure sign-extension for signed 4-bit formats. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/.factory/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md b/.factory/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..16e9f9f29 --- /dev/null +++ b/.factory/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md @@ -0,0 +1,154 @@ +--- +name: triton-sequential-stateful-blocks +description: Write Triton kernels with sequential stateful processing inside a single thread block, with mutable register state visible across iterations. +--- + +# Sequential Stateful Processing in a Single Triton Block + +> **Targets:** Triton >= 2.1, SM70+/CDNA2+ + +## Overview + +Some workloads require one thread block to process a sequence of items with mutable register state (e.g., LRU cache routing, sequential assignment).

Use FP32/FP16 accumulators for numerical stability. + +Key principles / step-by-step +1. Quant format & scales: + - Block scaling: one floating scale per contiguous block (e.g., 32 elements → 1 scale). Granularities: per-tensor, per-channel, per-group, per-block. + - OCP microscaling: store scales in a packed 5D layout for contiguous access (batch, head, row_block, col_block, scale_elems). Follow vendor layout (NVIDIA vs AMD differ in minor stride). +2. Hardware path (SM100+/CDNA4): + - Use tl.dot_scaled(a_ptr, scale_a_ptr, b_ptr, scale_b_ptr) which performs scaleddot with device TCs. Load tiles and corresponding scale tiles alongside data in the K-loop. +3. Dequantize path (fallback hardware): + - Load quantized tile (packed bits if INT4/FP4). Depack/unpack into FP16/FP32, multiply by scale tile: a_dec = a_unpacked.to(tl.float16) * scale_a. + - Compute acc with FP32: acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32). +4. Mixed formats: + - Support A in FP8 and B in FP4: load each tile and its scale, dequantize separately or call tl.dot_scaled with both scales if hardware supports mixed types. +5. INT4/FP4 unpacking: + - For mxfp4/unpacked INT4: load bytes, extract low/high nibble, sign-extend if needed, cast to float and multiply scale. + +Practical examples +Hardware-accelerated scaled dot (conceptual): +```python +# hardware TCs +a = tl.load(a_ptr + a_offs) # packed mxfp8 tile pointer +scale_a = tl.load(scale_a_ptr + s_offs) +b = tl.load(b_ptr + b_offs) +scale_b = tl.load(scale_b_ptr + s_offs_b) +acc += tl.dot_scaled(a, scale_a, b, scale_b) # returns FP32 accumulatation +``` + +Dequantize fallback: +```python +a_packed = tl.load(a_ptr + ...) +a_unp = unpack_4bit(a_packed) # produce FP16 tensor +a_dec = a_unp.to(tl.float16) * tl.load(scale_a_ptr + ...) +b_dec = ... +acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32) +``` + +Unpack nibble example: +```python +def unpack_4bit(x_byte): + lo = (x_byte & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + hi = ((x_byte >> 4) & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + # sign-extend if signed format, then cast to float + return tl.where(lo>7, lo-16, lo).to(tl.float16), tl.where(hi>7, hi-16, hi).to(tl.float16) +``` + +Best practices & common pitfalls +- Prefer tl.dot_scaled on supported hardware for best perf and lower register pressure. +- Align block shapes so scales and data tiles have contiguous memory access; conform to vendor OCP scale layout (shuffle indices if necessary). +- Use FP16 for dequantized values and FP32 accumulation to reduce numerical error. +- Avoid atomics on scales; load scale tiles once per K-iteration. +- Benchmark against FP16/cuBLAS and tune block sizes and scale block granularity for memory bandwidth vs compute trade-offs. +- Validate symmetric vs asymmetric quantization behavior (handle zero-point offsets in dequant path). +- Test correctness across edge tails (feature blocks not divisible by block size) and ensure sign-extension for signed 4-bit formats. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/.goose/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md b/.goose/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..16e9f9f29 --- /dev/null +++ b/.goose/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md @@ -0,0 +1,154 @@ +--- +name: triton-sequential-stateful-blocks +description: Write Triton kernels with sequential stateful processing inside a single thread block, with mutable register state visible across iterations. +--- + +# Sequential Stateful Processing in a Single Triton Block + +> **Targets:** Triton >= 2.1, SM70+/CDNA2+ + +## Overview + +Some workloads require one thread block to process a sequence of items with mutable register state (e.g., LRU cache routing, sequential assignment).

Use FP32/FP16 accumulators for numerical stability. + +Key principles / step-by-step +1. Quant format & scales: + - Block scaling: one floating scale per contiguous block (e.g., 32 elements → 1 scale). Granularities: per-tensor, per-channel, per-group, per-block. + - OCP microscaling: store scales in a packed 5D layout for contiguous access (batch, head, row_block, col_block, scale_elems). Follow vendor layout (NVIDIA vs AMD differ in minor stride). +2. Hardware path (SM100+/CDNA4): + - Use tl.dot_scaled(a_ptr, scale_a_ptr, b_ptr, scale_b_ptr) which performs scaleddot with device TCs. Load tiles and corresponding scale tiles alongside data in the K-loop. +3. Dequantize path (fallback hardware): + - Load quantized tile (packed bits if INT4/FP4). Depack/unpack into FP16/FP32, multiply by scale tile: a_dec = a_unpacked.to(tl.float16) * scale_a. + - Compute acc with FP32: acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32). +4. Mixed formats: + - Support A in FP8 and B in FP4: load each tile and its scale, dequantize separately or call tl.dot_scaled with both scales if hardware supports mixed types. +5. INT4/FP4 unpacking: + - For mxfp4/unpacked INT4: load bytes, extract low/high nibble, sign-extend if needed, cast to float and multiply scale. + +Practical examples +Hardware-accelerated scaled dot (conceptual): +```python +# hardware TCs +a = tl.load(a_ptr + a_offs) # packed mxfp8 tile pointer +scale_a = tl.load(scale_a_ptr + s_offs) +b = tl.load(b_ptr + b_offs) +scale_b = tl.load(scale_b_ptr + s_offs_b) +acc += tl.dot_scaled(a, scale_a, b, scale_b) # returns FP32 accumulatation +``` + +Dequantize fallback: +```python +a_packed = tl.load(a_ptr + ...) +a_unp = unpack_4bit(a_packed) # produce FP16 tensor +a_dec = a_unp.to(tl.float16) * tl.load(scale_a_ptr + ...) +b_dec = ... +acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32) +``` + +Unpack nibble example: +```python +def unpack_4bit(x_byte): + lo = (x_byte & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + hi = ((x_byte >> 4) & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + # sign-extend if signed format, then cast to float + return tl.where(lo>7, lo-16, lo).to(tl.float16), tl.where(hi>7, hi-16, hi).to(tl.float16) +``` + +Best practices & common pitfalls +- Prefer tl.dot_scaled on supported hardware for best perf and lower register pressure. +- Align block shapes so scales and data tiles have contiguous memory access; conform to vendor OCP scale layout (shuffle indices if necessary). +- Use FP16 for dequantized values and FP32 accumulation to reduce numerical error. +- Avoid atomics on scales; load scale tiles once per K-iteration. +- Benchmark against FP16/cuBLAS and tune block sizes and scale block granularity for memory bandwidth vs compute trade-offs. +- Validate symmetric vs asymmetric quantization behavior (handle zero-point offsets in dequant path). +- Test correctness across edge tails (feature blocks not divisible by block size) and ensure sign-extension for signed 4-bit formats. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/.junie/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md b/.junie/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..16e9f9f29 --- /dev/null +++ b/.junie/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md @@ -0,0 +1,154 @@ +--- +name: triton-sequential-stateful-blocks +description: Write Triton kernels with sequential stateful processing inside a single thread block, with mutable register state visible across iterations. +--- + +# Sequential Stateful Processing in a Single Triton Block + +> **Targets:** Triton >= 2.1, SM70+/CDNA2+ + +## Overview + +Some workloads require one thread block to process a sequence of items with mutable register state (e.g., LRU cache routing, sequential assignment).

Use FP32/FP16 accumulators for numerical stability. + +Key principles / step-by-step +1. Quant format & scales: + - Block scaling: one floating scale per contiguous block (e.g., 32 elements → 1 scale). Granularities: per-tensor, per-channel, per-group, per-block. + - OCP microscaling: store scales in a packed 5D layout for contiguous access (batch, head, row_block, col_block, scale_elems). Follow vendor layout (NVIDIA vs AMD differ in minor stride). +2. Hardware path (SM100+/CDNA4): + - Use tl.dot_scaled(a_ptr, scale_a_ptr, b_ptr, scale_b_ptr) which performs scaleddot with device TCs. Load tiles and corresponding scale tiles alongside data in the K-loop. +3. Dequantize path (fallback hardware): + - Load quantized tile (packed bits if INT4/FP4). Depack/unpack into FP16/FP32, multiply by scale tile: a_dec = a_unpacked.to(tl.float16) * scale_a. + - Compute acc with FP32: acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32). +4. Mixed formats: + - Support A in FP8 and B in FP4: load each tile and its scale, dequantize separately or call tl.dot_scaled with both scales if hardware supports mixed types. +5. INT4/FP4 unpacking: + - For mxfp4/unpacked INT4: load bytes, extract low/high nibble, sign-extend if needed, cast to float and multiply scale. + +Practical examples +Hardware-accelerated scaled dot (conceptual): +```python +# hardware TCs +a = tl.load(a_ptr + a_offs) # packed mxfp8 tile pointer +scale_a = tl.load(scale_a_ptr + s_offs) +b = tl.load(b_ptr + b_offs) +scale_b = tl.load(scale_b_ptr + s_offs_b) +acc += tl.dot_scaled(a, scale_a, b, scale_b) # returns FP32 accumulatation +``` + +Dequantize fallback: +```python +a_packed = tl.load(a_ptr + ...) +a_unp = unpack_4bit(a_packed) # produce FP16 tensor +a_dec = a_unp.to(tl.float16) * tl.load(scale_a_ptr + ...) +b_dec = ... +acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32) +``` + +Unpack nibble example: +```python +def unpack_4bit(x_byte): + lo = (x_byte & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + hi = ((x_byte >> 4) & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + # sign-extend if signed format, then cast to float + return tl.where(lo>7, lo-16, lo).to(tl.float16), tl.where(hi>7, hi-16, hi).to(tl.float16) +``` + +Best practices & common pitfalls +- Prefer tl.dot_scaled on supported hardware for best perf and lower register pressure. +- Align block shapes so scales and data tiles have contiguous memory access; conform to vendor OCP scale layout (shuffle indices if necessary). +- Use FP16 for dequantized values and FP32 accumulation to reduce numerical error. +- Avoid atomics on scales; load scale tiles once per K-iteration. +- Benchmark against FP16/cuBLAS and tune block sizes and scale block granularity for memory bandwidth vs compute trade-offs. +- Validate symmetric vs asymmetric quantization behavior (handle zero-point offsets in dequant path). +- Test correctness across edge tails (feature blocks not divisible by block size) and ensure sign-extension for signed 4-bit formats. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/.kilocode/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md b/.kilocode/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..16e9f9f29 --- /dev/null +++ b/.kilocode/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md @@ -0,0 +1,154 @@ +--- +name: triton-sequential-stateful-blocks +description: Write Triton kernels with sequential stateful processing inside a single thread block, with mutable register state visible across iterations. +--- + +# Sequential Stateful Processing in a Single Triton Block + +> **Targets:** Triton >= 2.1, SM70+/CDNA2+ + +## Overview + +Some workloads require one thread block to process a sequence of items with mutable register state (e.g., LRU cache routing, sequential assignment).

Use FP32/FP16 accumulators for numerical stability. + +Key principles / step-by-step +1. Quant format & scales: + - Block scaling: one floating scale per contiguous block (e.g., 32 elements → 1 scale). Granularities: per-tensor, per-channel, per-group, per-block. + - OCP microscaling: store scales in a packed 5D layout for contiguous access (batch, head, row_block, col_block, scale_elems). Follow vendor layout (NVIDIA vs AMD differ in minor stride). +2. Hardware path (SM100+/CDNA4): + - Use tl.dot_scaled(a_ptr, scale_a_ptr, b_ptr, scale_b_ptr) which performs scaleddot with device TCs. Load tiles and corresponding scale tiles alongside data in the K-loop. +3. Dequantize path (fallback hardware): + - Load quantized tile (packed bits if INT4/FP4). Depack/unpack into FP16/FP32, multiply by scale tile: a_dec = a_unpacked.to(tl.float16) * scale_a. + - Compute acc with FP32: acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32). +4. Mixed formats: + - Support A in FP8 and B in FP4: load each tile and its scale, dequantize separately or call tl.dot_scaled with both scales if hardware supports mixed types. +5. INT4/FP4 unpacking: + - For mxfp4/unpacked INT4: load bytes, extract low/high nibble, sign-extend if needed, cast to float and multiply scale. + +Practical examples +Hardware-accelerated scaled dot (conceptual): +```python +# hardware TCs +a = tl.load(a_ptr + a_offs) # packed mxfp8 tile pointer +scale_a = tl.load(scale_a_ptr + s_offs) +b = tl.load(b_ptr + b_offs) +scale_b = tl.load(scale_b_ptr + s_offs_b) +acc += tl.dot_scaled(a, scale_a, b, scale_b) # returns FP32 accumulatation +``` + +Dequantize fallback: +```python +a_packed = tl.load(a_ptr + ...) +a_unp = unpack_4bit(a_packed) # produce FP16 tensor +a_dec = a_unp.to(tl.float16) * tl.load(scale_a_ptr + ...) +b_dec = ... +acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32) +``` + +Unpack nibble example: +```python +def unpack_4bit(x_byte): + lo = (x_byte & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + hi = ((x_byte >> 4) & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + # sign-extend if signed format, then cast to float + return tl.where(lo>7, lo-16, lo).to(tl.float16), tl.where(hi>7, hi-16, hi).to(tl.float16) +``` + +Best practices & common pitfalls +- Prefer tl.dot_scaled on supported hardware for best perf and lower register pressure. +- Align block shapes so scales and data tiles have contiguous memory access; conform to vendor OCP scale layout (shuffle indices if necessary). +- Use FP16 for dequantized values and FP32 accumulation to reduce numerical error. +- Avoid atomics on scales; load scale tiles once per K-iteration. +- Benchmark against FP16/cuBLAS and tune block sizes and scale block granularity for memory bandwidth vs compute trade-offs. +- Validate symmetric vs asymmetric quantization behavior (handle zero-point offsets in dequant path). +- Test correctness across edge tails (feature blocks not divisible by block size) and ensure sign-extension for signed 4-bit formats. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/.kiro/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md b/.kiro/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..16e9f9f29 --- /dev/null +++ b/.kiro/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md @@ -0,0 +1,154 @@ +--- +name: triton-sequential-stateful-blocks +description: Write Triton kernels with sequential stateful processing inside a single thread block, with mutable register state visible across iterations. +--- + +# Sequential Stateful Processing in a Single Triton Block + +> **Targets:** Triton >= 2.1, SM70+/CDNA2+ + +## Overview + +Some workloads require one thread block to process a sequence of items with mutable register state (e.g., LRU cache routing, sequential assignment).

Use FP32/FP16 accumulators for numerical stability. + +Key principles / step-by-step +1. Quant format & scales: + - Block scaling: one floating scale per contiguous block (e.g., 32 elements → 1 scale). Granularities: per-tensor, per-channel, per-group, per-block. + - OCP microscaling: store scales in a packed 5D layout for contiguous access (batch, head, row_block, col_block, scale_elems). Follow vendor layout (NVIDIA vs AMD differ in minor stride). +2. Hardware path (SM100+/CDNA4): + - Use tl.dot_scaled(a_ptr, scale_a_ptr, b_ptr, scale_b_ptr) which performs scaleddot with device TCs. Load tiles and corresponding scale tiles alongside data in the K-loop. +3. Dequantize path (fallback hardware): + - Load quantized tile (packed bits if INT4/FP4). Depack/unpack into FP16/FP32, multiply by scale tile: a_dec = a_unpacked.to(tl.float16) * scale_a. + - Compute acc with FP32: acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32). +4. Mixed formats: + - Support A in FP8 and B in FP4: load each tile and its scale, dequantize separately or call tl.dot_scaled with both scales if hardware supports mixed types. +5. INT4/FP4 unpacking: + - For mxfp4/unpacked INT4: load bytes, extract low/high nibble, sign-extend if needed, cast to float and multiply scale. + +Practical examples +Hardware-accelerated scaled dot (conceptual): +```python +# hardware TCs +a = tl.load(a_ptr + a_offs) # packed mxfp8 tile pointer +scale_a = tl.load(scale_a_ptr + s_offs) +b = tl.load(b_ptr + b_offs) +scale_b = tl.load(scale_b_ptr + s_offs_b) +acc += tl.dot_scaled(a, scale_a, b, scale_b) # returns FP32 accumulatation +``` + +Dequantize fallback: +```python +a_packed = tl.load(a_ptr + ...) +a_unp = unpack_4bit(a_packed) # produce FP16 tensor +a_dec = a_unp.to(tl.float16) * tl.load(scale_a_ptr + ...) +b_dec = ... +acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32) +``` + +Unpack nibble example: +```python +def unpack_4bit(x_byte): + lo = (x_byte & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + hi = ((x_byte >> 4) & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + # sign-extend if signed format, then cast to float + return tl.where(lo>7, lo-16, lo).to(tl.float16), tl.where(hi>7, hi-16, hi).to(tl.float16) +``` + +Best practices & common pitfalls +- Prefer tl.dot_scaled on supported hardware for best perf and lower register pressure. +- Align block shapes so scales and data tiles have contiguous memory access; conform to vendor OCP scale layout (shuffle indices if necessary). +- Use FP16 for dequantized values and FP32 accumulation to reduce numerical error. +- Avoid atomics on scales; load scale tiles once per K-iteration. +- Benchmark against FP16/cuBLAS and tune block sizes and scale block granularity for memory bandwidth vs compute trade-offs. +- Validate symmetric vs asymmetric quantization behavior (handle zero-point offsets in dequant path). +- Test correctness across edge tails (feature blocks not divisible by block size) and ensure sign-extension for signed 4-bit formats. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/.kode/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md b/.kode/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..16e9f9f29 --- /dev/null +++ b/.kode/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md @@ -0,0 +1,154 @@ +--- +name: triton-sequential-stateful-blocks +description: Write Triton kernels with sequential stateful processing inside a single thread block, with mutable register state visible across iterations. +--- + +# Sequential Stateful Processing in a Single Triton Block + +> **Targets:** Triton >= 2.1, SM70+/CDNA2+ + +## Overview + +Some workloads require one thread block to process a sequence of items with mutable register state (e.g., LRU cache routing, sequential assignment).

Use FP32/FP16 accumulators for numerical stability. + +Key principles / step-by-step +1. Quant format & scales: + - Block scaling: one floating scale per contiguous block (e.g., 32 elements → 1 scale). Granularities: per-tensor, per-channel, per-group, per-block. + - OCP microscaling: store scales in a packed 5D layout for contiguous access (batch, head, row_block, col_block, scale_elems). Follow vendor layout (NVIDIA vs AMD differ in minor stride). +2. Hardware path (SM100+/CDNA4): + - Use tl.dot_scaled(a_ptr, scale_a_ptr, b_ptr, scale_b_ptr) which performs scaleddot with device TCs. Load tiles and corresponding scale tiles alongside data in the K-loop. +3. Dequantize path (fallback hardware): + - Load quantized tile (packed bits if INT4/FP4). Depack/unpack into FP16/FP32, multiply by scale tile: a_dec = a_unpacked.to(tl.float16) * scale_a. + - Compute acc with FP32: acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32). +4. Mixed formats: + - Support A in FP8 and B in FP4: load each tile and its scale, dequantize separately or call tl.dot_scaled with both scales if hardware supports mixed types. +5. INT4/FP4 unpacking: + - For mxfp4/unpacked INT4: load bytes, extract low/high nibble, sign-extend if needed, cast to float and multiply scale. + +Practical examples +Hardware-accelerated scaled dot (conceptual): +```python +# hardware TCs +a = tl.load(a_ptr + a_offs) # packed mxfp8 tile pointer +scale_a = tl.load(scale_a_ptr + s_offs) +b = tl.load(b_ptr + b_offs) +scale_b = tl.load(scale_b_ptr + s_offs_b) +acc += tl.dot_scaled(a, scale_a, b, scale_b) # returns FP32 accumulatation +``` + +Dequantize fallback: +```python +a_packed = tl.load(a_ptr + ...) +a_unp = unpack_4bit(a_packed) # produce FP16 tensor +a_dec = a_unp.to(tl.float16) * tl.load(scale_a_ptr + ...) +b_dec = ... +acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32) +``` + +Unpack nibble example: +```python +def unpack_4bit(x_byte): + lo = (x_byte & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + hi = ((x_byte >> 4) & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + # sign-extend if signed format, then cast to float + return tl.where(lo>7, lo-16, lo).to(tl.float16), tl.where(hi>7, hi-16, hi).to(tl.float16) +``` + +Best practices & common pitfalls +- Prefer tl.dot_scaled on supported hardware for best perf and lower register pressure. +- Align block shapes so scales and data tiles have contiguous memory access; conform to vendor OCP scale layout (shuffle indices if necessary). +- Use FP16 for dequantized values and FP32 accumulation to reduce numerical error. +- Avoid atomics on scales; load scale tiles once per K-iteration. +- Benchmark against FP16/cuBLAS and tune block sizes and scale block granularity for memory bandwidth vs compute trade-offs. +- Validate symmetric vs asymmetric quantization behavior (handle zero-point offsets in dequant path). +- Test correctness across edge tails (feature blocks not divisible by block size) and ensure sign-extension for signed 4-bit formats. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/.mcpjam/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md b/.mcpjam/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..16e9f9f29 --- /dev/null +++ b/.mcpjam/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md @@ -0,0 +1,154 @@ +--- +name: triton-sequential-stateful-blocks +description: Write Triton kernels with sequential stateful processing inside a single thread block, with mutable register state visible across iterations. +--- + +# Sequential Stateful Processing in a Single Triton Block + +> **Targets:** Triton >= 2.1, SM70+/CDNA2+ + +## Overview + +Some workloads require one thread block to process a sequence of items with mutable register state (e.g., LRU cache routing, sequential assignment).

Use FP32/FP16 accumulators for numerical stability. + +Key principles / step-by-step +1. Quant format & scales: + - Block scaling: one floating scale per contiguous block (e.g., 32 elements → 1 scale). Granularities: per-tensor, per-channel, per-group, per-block. + - OCP microscaling: store scales in a packed 5D layout for contiguous access (batch, head, row_block, col_block, scale_elems). Follow vendor layout (NVIDIA vs AMD differ in minor stride). +2. Hardware path (SM100+/CDNA4): + - Use tl.dot_scaled(a_ptr, scale_a_ptr, b_ptr, scale_b_ptr) which performs scaleddot with device TCs. Load tiles and corresponding scale tiles alongside data in the K-loop. +3. Dequantize path (fallback hardware): + - Load quantized tile (packed bits if INT4/FP4). Depack/unpack into FP16/FP32, multiply by scale tile: a_dec = a_unpacked.to(tl.float16) * scale_a. + - Compute acc with FP32: acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32). +4. Mixed formats: + - Support A in FP8 and B in FP4: load each tile and its scale, dequantize separately or call tl.dot_scaled with both scales if hardware supports mixed types. +5. INT4/FP4 unpacking: + - For mxfp4/unpacked INT4: load bytes, extract low/high nibble, sign-extend if needed, cast to float and multiply scale. + +Practical examples +Hardware-accelerated scaled dot (conceptual): +```python +# hardware TCs +a = tl.load(a_ptr + a_offs) # packed mxfp8 tile pointer +scale_a = tl.load(scale_a_ptr + s_offs) +b = tl.load(b_ptr + b_offs) +scale_b = tl.load(scale_b_ptr + s_offs_b) +acc += tl.dot_scaled(a, scale_a, b, scale_b) # returns FP32 accumulatation +``` + +Dequantize fallback: +```python +a_packed = tl.load(a_ptr + ...) +a_unp = unpack_4bit(a_packed) # produce FP16 tensor +a_dec = a_unp.to(tl.float16) * tl.load(scale_a_ptr + ...) +b_dec = ... +acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32) +``` + +Unpack nibble example: +```python +def unpack_4bit(x_byte): + lo = (x_byte & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + hi = ((x_byte >> 4) & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + # sign-extend if signed format, then cast to float + return tl.where(lo>7, lo-16, lo).to(tl.float16), tl.where(hi>7, hi-16, hi).to(tl.float16) +``` + +Best practices & common pitfalls +- Prefer tl.dot_scaled on supported hardware for best perf and lower register pressure. +- Align block shapes so scales and data tiles have contiguous memory access; conform to vendor OCP scale layout (shuffle indices if necessary). +- Use FP16 for dequantized values and FP32 accumulation to reduce numerical error. +- Avoid atomics on scales; load scale tiles once per K-iteration. +- Benchmark against FP16/cuBLAS and tune block sizes and scale block granularity for memory bandwidth vs compute trade-offs. +- Validate symmetric vs asymmetric quantization behavior (handle zero-point offsets in dequant path). +- Test correctness across edge tails (feature blocks not divisible by block size) and ensure sign-extension for signed 4-bit formats. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/.mux/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md b/.mux/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..16e9f9f29 --- /dev/null +++ b/.mux/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md @@ -0,0 +1,154 @@ +--- +name: triton-sequential-stateful-blocks +description: Write Triton kernels with sequential stateful processing inside a single thread block, with mutable register state visible across iterations. +--- + +# Sequential Stateful Processing in a Single Triton Block + +> **Targets:** Triton >= 2.1, SM70+/CDNA2+ + +## Overview + +Some workloads require one thread block to process a sequence of items with mutable register state (e.g., LRU cache routing, sequential assignment).

Use FP32/FP16 accumulators for numerical stability. + +Key principles / step-by-step +1. Quant format & scales: + - Block scaling: one floating scale per contiguous block (e.g., 32 elements → 1 scale). Granularities: per-tensor, per-channel, per-group, per-block. + - OCP microscaling: store scales in a packed 5D layout for contiguous access (batch, head, row_block, col_block, scale_elems). Follow vendor layout (NVIDIA vs AMD differ in minor stride). +2. Hardware path (SM100+/CDNA4): + - Use tl.dot_scaled(a_ptr, scale_a_ptr, b_ptr, scale_b_ptr) which performs scaleddot with device TCs. Load tiles and corresponding scale tiles alongside data in the K-loop. +3. Dequantize path (fallback hardware): + - Load quantized tile (packed bits if INT4/FP4). Depack/unpack into FP16/FP32, multiply by scale tile: a_dec = a_unpacked.to(tl.float16) * scale_a. + - Compute acc with FP32: acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32). +4. Mixed formats: + - Support A in FP8 and B in FP4: load each tile and its scale, dequantize separately or call tl.dot_scaled with both scales if hardware supports mixed types. +5. INT4/FP4 unpacking: + - For mxfp4/unpacked INT4: load bytes, extract low/high nibble, sign-extend if needed, cast to float and multiply scale. + +Practical examples +Hardware-accelerated scaled dot (conceptual): +```python +# hardware TCs +a = tl.load(a_ptr + a_offs) # packed mxfp8 tile pointer +scale_a = tl.load(scale_a_ptr + s_offs) +b = tl.load(b_ptr + b_offs) +scale_b = tl.load(scale_b_ptr + s_offs_b) +acc += tl.dot_scaled(a, scale_a, b, scale_b) # returns FP32 accumulatation +``` + +Dequantize fallback: +```python +a_packed = tl.load(a_ptr + ...) +a_unp = unpack_4bit(a_packed) # produce FP16 tensor +a_dec = a_unp.to(tl.float16) * tl.load(scale_a_ptr + ...) +b_dec = ... +acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32) +``` + +Unpack nibble example: +```python +def unpack_4bit(x_byte): + lo = (x_byte & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + hi = ((x_byte >> 4) & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + # sign-extend if signed format, then cast to float + return tl.where(lo>7, lo-16, lo).to(tl.float16), tl.where(hi>7, hi-16, hi).to(tl.float16) +``` + +Best practices & common pitfalls +- Prefer tl.dot_scaled on supported hardware for best perf and lower register pressure. +- Align block shapes so scales and data tiles have contiguous memory access; conform to vendor OCP scale layout (shuffle indices if necessary). +- Use FP16 for dequantized values and FP32 accumulation to reduce numerical error. +- Avoid atomics on scales; load scale tiles once per K-iteration. +- Benchmark against FP16/cuBLAS and tune block sizes and scale block granularity for memory bandwidth vs compute trade-offs. +- Validate symmetric vs asymmetric quantization behavior (handle zero-point offsets in dequant path). +- Test correctness across edge tails (feature blocks not divisible by block size) and ensure sign-extension for signed 4-bit formats. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/.neovate/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md b/.neovate/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..16e9f9f29 --- /dev/null +++ b/.neovate/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md @@ -0,0 +1,154 @@ +--- +name: triton-sequential-stateful-blocks +description: Write Triton kernels with sequential stateful processing inside a single thread block, with mutable register state visible across iterations. +--- + +# Sequential Stateful Processing in a Single Triton Block + +> **Targets:** Triton >= 2.1, SM70+/CDNA2+ + +## Overview + +Some workloads require one thread block to process a sequence of items with mutable register state (e.g., LRU cache routing, sequential assignment).

Use FP32/FP16 accumulators for numerical stability. + +Key principles / step-by-step +1. Quant format & scales: + - Block scaling: one floating scale per contiguous block (e.g., 32 elements → 1 scale). Granularities: per-tensor, per-channel, per-group, per-block. + - OCP microscaling: store scales in a packed 5D layout for contiguous access (batch, head, row_block, col_block, scale_elems). Follow vendor layout (NVIDIA vs AMD differ in minor stride). +2. Hardware path (SM100+/CDNA4): + - Use tl.dot_scaled(a_ptr, scale_a_ptr, b_ptr, scale_b_ptr) which performs scaleddot with device TCs. Load tiles and corresponding scale tiles alongside data in the K-loop. +3. Dequantize path (fallback hardware): + - Load quantized tile (packed bits if INT4/FP4). Depack/unpack into FP16/FP32, multiply by scale tile: a_dec = a_unpacked.to(tl.float16) * scale_a. + - Compute acc with FP32: acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32). +4. Mixed formats: + - Support A in FP8 and B in FP4: load each tile and its scale, dequantize separately or call tl.dot_scaled with both scales if hardware supports mixed types. +5. INT4/FP4 unpacking: + - For mxfp4/unpacked INT4: load bytes, extract low/high nibble, sign-extend if needed, cast to float and multiply scale. + +Practical examples +Hardware-accelerated scaled dot (conceptual): +```python +# hardware TCs +a = tl.load(a_ptr + a_offs) # packed mxfp8 tile pointer +scale_a = tl.load(scale_a_ptr + s_offs) +b = tl.load(b_ptr + b_offs) +scale_b = tl.load(scale_b_ptr + s_offs_b) +acc += tl.dot_scaled(a, scale_a, b, scale_b) # returns FP32 accumulatation +``` + +Dequantize fallback: +```python +a_packed = tl.load(a_ptr + ...) +a_unp = unpack_4bit(a_packed) # produce FP16 tensor +a_dec = a_unp.to(tl.float16) * tl.load(scale_a_ptr + ...) +b_dec = ... +acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32) +``` + +Unpack nibble example: +```python +def unpack_4bit(x_byte): + lo = (x_byte & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + hi = ((x_byte >> 4) & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + # sign-extend if signed format, then cast to float + return tl.where(lo>7, lo-16, lo).to(tl.float16), tl.where(hi>7, hi-16, hi).to(tl.float16) +``` + +Best practices & common pitfalls +- Prefer tl.dot_scaled on supported hardware for best perf and lower register pressure. +- Align block shapes so scales and data tiles have contiguous memory access; conform to vendor OCP scale layout (shuffle indices if necessary). +- Use FP16 for dequantized values and FP32 accumulation to reduce numerical error. +- Avoid atomics on scales; load scale tiles once per K-iteration. +- Benchmark against FP16/cuBLAS and tune block sizes and scale block granularity for memory bandwidth vs compute trade-offs. +- Validate symmetric vs asymmetric quantization behavior (handle zero-point offsets in dequant path). +- Test correctness across edge tails (feature blocks not divisible by block size) and ensure sign-extension for signed 4-bit formats. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/.openhands/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md b/.openhands/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..16e9f9f29 --- /dev/null +++ b/.openhands/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md @@ -0,0 +1,154 @@ +--- +name: triton-sequential-stateful-blocks +description: Write Triton kernels with sequential stateful processing inside a single thread block, with mutable register state visible across iterations. +--- + +# Sequential Stateful Processing in a Single Triton Block + +> **Targets:** Triton >= 2.1, SM70+/CDNA2+ + +## Overview + +Some workloads require one thread block to process a sequence of items with mutable register state (e.g., LRU cache routing, sequential assignment).

Use FP32/FP16 accumulators for numerical stability. + +Key principles / step-by-step +1. Quant format & scales: + - Block scaling: one floating scale per contiguous block (e.g., 32 elements → 1 scale). Granularities: per-tensor, per-channel, per-group, per-block. + - OCP microscaling: store scales in a packed 5D layout for contiguous access (batch, head, row_block, col_block, scale_elems). Follow vendor layout (NVIDIA vs AMD differ in minor stride). +2. Hardware path (SM100+/CDNA4): + - Use tl.dot_scaled(a_ptr, scale_a_ptr, b_ptr, scale_b_ptr) which performs scaleddot with device TCs. Load tiles and corresponding scale tiles alongside data in the K-loop. +3. Dequantize path (fallback hardware): + - Load quantized tile (packed bits if INT4/FP4). Depack/unpack into FP16/FP32, multiply by scale tile: a_dec = a_unpacked.to(tl.float16) * scale_a. + - Compute acc with FP32: acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32). +4. Mixed formats: + - Support A in FP8 and B in FP4: load each tile and its scale, dequantize separately or call tl.dot_scaled with both scales if hardware supports mixed types. +5. INT4/FP4 unpacking: + - For mxfp4/unpacked INT4: load bytes, extract low/high nibble, sign-extend if needed, cast to float and multiply scale. + +Practical examples +Hardware-accelerated scaled dot (conceptual): +```python +# hardware TCs +a = tl.load(a_ptr + a_offs) # packed mxfp8 tile pointer +scale_a = tl.load(scale_a_ptr + s_offs) +b = tl.load(b_ptr + b_offs) +scale_b = tl.load(scale_b_ptr + s_offs_b) +acc += tl.dot_scaled(a, scale_a, b, scale_b) # returns FP32 accumulatation +``` + +Dequantize fallback: +```python +a_packed = tl.load(a_ptr + ...) +a_unp = unpack_4bit(a_packed) # produce FP16 tensor +a_dec = a_unp.to(tl.float16) * tl.load(scale_a_ptr + ...) +b_dec = ... +acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32) +``` + +Unpack nibble example: +```python +def unpack_4bit(x_byte): + lo = (x_byte & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + hi = ((x_byte >> 4) & 0xF).astype(tl.int8) + # sign-extend if signed format, then cast to float + return tl.where(lo>7, lo-16, lo).to(tl.float16), tl.where(hi>7, hi-16, hi).to(tl.float16) +``` + +Best practices & common pitfalls +- Prefer tl.dot_scaled on supported hardware for best perf and lower register pressure. +- Align block shapes so scales and data tiles have contiguous memory access; conform to vendor OCP scale layout (shuffle indices if necessary). +- Use FP16 for dequantized values and FP32 accumulation to reduce numerical error. +- Avoid atomics on scales; load scale tiles once per K-iteration. +- Benchmark against FP16/cuBLAS and tune block sizes and scale block granularity for memory bandwidth vs compute trade-offs. +- Validate symmetric vs asymmetric quantization behavior (handle zero-point offsets in dequant path). +- Test correctness across edge tails (feature blocks not divisible by block size) and ensure sign-extension for signed 4-bit formats. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/.pi/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md b/.pi/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..16e9f9f29 --- /dev/null +++ b/.pi/skills/triton-kernels/triton-sequential-stateful-blocks.md @@ -0,0 +1,154 @@ +--- +name: triton-sequential-stateful-blocks +description: Write Triton kernels with sequential stateful processing inside a single thread block, with mutable register state visible across iterations. +--- + +# Sequential Stateful Processing in a Single Triton Block + +> **Targets:** Triton >= 2.1, SM70+/CDNA2+ + +## Overview + +Some workloads require one thread block to process a sequence of items with mutable register state (e.g., LRU cache routing, sequential assignment).

Tell me what to make to win this. OpenAI Model Craft Challenge: Parameter Golf is a challenge to train the best language model that fits in a 16MB artifact and trains in under 10 minutes on 8xH100s, evaluated by compression on the FineWeb validation set (tokenizer-agnostic, bits per byte). +This challenge is heavily inspired by the [NanoGPT Speedrunning](https://github.com/KellerJordan/modded-nanogpt) challenge, where participants compete to train a model that reaches 3.28 FineWeb validation loss as quickly as possible. We're excited to see how optimizing for a parameter-constrained setting pushes people toward unique architectures (test-time compute, aggressive parameter tying, depth recurrence, low-rank training, ...), compression schemes (low precision, QAT, bitnets, novel tokenizers, ...), and other creative submissions (test-time training, long context, megakernels ...). +If you're familiar with [neural scaling laws](https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.08361), you can consider this challenge a form of L(N) optimization, where the objective is to optimize the lowest loss given a fixed number of parameters (N) unconstrained by data, compute, steps, or architecture. Challenges like the [NanoGPT Speedrun](https://github.com/KellerJordan/modded-nanogpt), which optimizes for a form of L(T) (~lowest time given constrained loss) or the [NanoGPT Slowrun](https://github.com/qlabs-eng/slowrun), which optimizes for L(D) (lowest loss given constrained dataset size), can be thought of as equivalent challenges in this family. +Ideally, we'd allow for submissions to use arbitrary computational resources. But in order to make the challenge not inaccessibly expensive, we're limiting leaderboard submissions to 10 minutes on 8xH100s. However, we'd still love to see submissions that don't meet the compute limitation requirements in our 'Non-record Submissions' section: We're excited to see people push the infinite frontier of parameter limited performance as well. +We also know compute is expensive, so OpenAI is sponsoring $1,000,000 in compute credits to help people get started training their models. To request a compute grant, use this form: [Request a Compute Grant](https://openai.com/index/parameter-golf/#credit-form). When requesting compute, please make sure you choose the appropriate level, write sufficient justification, and submit with an email tied to a OpenAI / ChatGPT account. +Participant Form + +If you enjoy solving very difficult technical problems, please introduce yourself via the [Challenge Participant Form](https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/openai/form/open-ai-challenge-parameter-golf). It helps us attribute challenge submissions and reach out about opportunities with OpenAI. Completing the form is not required to participate. +Many researchers at OpenAI first distinguished themselves through elite mathematics and programming competitions. The Model Craft Challenge is designed in that spirit: testing the ability to tackle unfamiliar problems with creativity and rigor, qualities we believe are essential for frontier AI research. +In June, we plan to hire a small cohort of early-career researchers, targeting current undergraduate students and recent graduates, including Olympiad medalists and elite competitors.

Just ask [Codex](https://openai.com/codex/) to refactor it; the change is straightforward. It may still be fairly slow, so we recommend jumping straight to cloud GPUs with Runpod. +First, clone the repository, create a fresh Python environment, and install the packages needed for the MLX path plus dataset download: +git clone [https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf.git](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf.git) +cd parameter-golf +python3 -m venv .venv +source .venv/bin/activate +python -m pip install --upgrade pip +pip install mlx numpy sentencepiece huggingface-hub datasets tqdm +Download our cached version of FineWeb with the 1024-token vocabulary: +python3 data/cached_challenge_fineweb.py --variant sp1024 --train-shards 10 +This populates ./data/datasets/fineweb10B_sp1024/ and ./data/tokenizers/. By default this downloads the full validation split plus 80 training shards (8B tokens). For a smaller local smoke subset, pass --train-shards 1, for example python3 data/cached_challenge_fineweb.py --variant sp1024 --train-shards 1. +Then run a small MLX training job: +RUN_ID=mlx_smoke \ +ITERATIONS=200 \ +TRAIN_BATCH_TOKENS=8192 \ +VAL_LOSS_EVERY=0 \ +VAL_BATCH_SIZE=8192 \ +python3 train_gpt_mlx.py +Validation always runs on the full fineweb_val_* split, which is the fixed first-50k-document set. The smoke command above skips periodic validation and just prints the final val_loss and val_bpb once at the end. +Scaling Up to a Remote Machine + +Once you're happy with your local tests, or you want more compute, switch to a remote CUDA machine. +You can rent GPUs from anywhere, but OpenAI is partnering with Runpod to make setup as easy as possible. +Launching a 1xH100 Pod + +First, [create a Runpod account](https://console.runpod.io/deploy). You should also set up an SSH key in the Settings tab on the left so you can connect to your remote machine. If you're new to this, ask Codex to help you set it up. +Once you've set up your account, create a new GPU Cloud Pod. You can choose whichever GPU SKU you'd like. Final leaderboard submissions must run in under 10 minutes on 8xH100s (specifically the SXM variant), but we strongly recommend testing and running experiments on cheaper SKUs first, since an 8xH100 box can cost around $20/hour. +Let's start with a 1xH100 pod. Deploy using the official Parameter Golf template: [Launch Template](https://console.runpod.io/deploy?template=y5cejece4j&ref=nl2r56th). Enable SSH terminal access, leaving the other settings at their defaults. Deploy your pod and SSH into it once it's up. You should land in /workspace/. +On your remote machine, clone the repo onto local disk. All Python dependencies are already pre-installed in the image. +cd /workspace +git clone [https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf.git](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf.git) +cd parameter-golf +Download our cached version of FineWeb. We'll use the 1024-token vocabulary for now. +python3 data/cached_challenge_fineweb.py --variant sp1024 +This defaults to the full validation split plus 80 training shards (8B tokens). If you only want a smaller subset while iterating, pass --train-shards N, for example --train-shards 1. +Launch your first training run. Note that we're passing nproc_per_node=1 because we're running on a single H100 GPU in this case. +RUN_ID=baseline_sp1024 \ +DATA_PATH=./data/datasets/fineweb10B_sp1024/ \ +TOKENIZER_PATH=./data/tokenizers/fineweb_1024_bpe.model \ +VOCAB_SIZE=1024 \ +torchrun --standalone --nproc_per_node=1 train_gpt.py +By default, train_gpt.py keeps its ~10 minute wallclock cap. If you want a longer run, override it explicitly, for example MAX_WALLCLOCK_SECONDS=0. +By default, this command prints train_loss step logs during training and prints val_loss, val_bpb, and compressed model size in the final final_int8_zlib_roundtrip lines at the end. If you want periodic validation logs during the run, set VAL_LOSS_EVERY, for example VAL_LOSS_EVERY=200. For the baseline config, the final val_bpb should land around ~1.2 with a compressed model size under 16MB. +For dataset export, tokenizer export, and docs-cache rebuild instructions, see [data/README.md](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/blob/main/data/README.md). +Evaluation will be in the RunPod environment with all packages installed. requirements.txt is provided as a reference if you want to self-setup. +FAQ + +What exactly counts toward the 16MB artifact size? +The submission artifact is computed as code bytes plus compressed model bytes. All counted code should live in the train_gpt.py script. The cap is decimal 16MB, i.e. 16,000,000 total bytes, not 16 MiB / 16,777,216 bytes. No external downloads, training dataset access, or network calls are allowed during evaluation. The artifact must be fully self-contained and reproducible. +Are scores independently verified by OpenAI? +We're not automatically verifying every submission, but we will verify the top leaderboard entries over time. Any non-reproducible results can be disqualified, and issues reproducing submissions should be raised on the PR. If you find an issue with a record on the leaderboard or find a record isn't reproducible, please let us know and add an Github Issue describing your findings. +What counts as 'external compute'? For example, is it fair to tune my hyperparameters offline? +There's no perfectly clear answer here and it's hard to draw a clean line around what does or does not count as external compute. For now, we're reserving the right to disqualify runs that are not in the spirit of the challenge. Tuning your Adam hyperparameters across a bunch of runs is fine, but if there's evidence that you're sneaking in additional compute unfairly, such as brute-forcing ridiculous seeds, we won't allow it. Use your best judgment and there's no penalty for asking questions. +What are the restrictions on evaluation? +We won't accept submissions that take more than 10 minutes on 8xH100 to evaluate (Note: This limit is in addition to the 10 minutes of training time allowed!), but otherwise you're free to evaluate however. As with modded-nanogpt, we allow evaluation at any sequence length. And, obviously, you aren't allowed to access any training data during evaluation, unless you pay for those bits in the <16MB limit. We encourage competitors to push the bounds of evaluation methods as aggressively as with training methods. +What is the process for accepting new submissions? +Since all submissions are public, we're accepting record submissions chronologically depending on their PR creation time. The leaderboard may take time to update due to verification and review of submissions, so pay consideration to what the current SOTA PR is when submitting. As explained below, submissions should exceed the SOTA record with sufficient statistical significance in order to accepted for the leaderboard. Otherwise, submissions may be accepted as 'non-record submissions' given they are sufficiently unique or interesting. +Submission Process + +New SOTA records must fulfill the following criteria: +They must beat the existing SOTA by at least 0.005 nats. As in modded-nanogpt, because of inter-run variance all submissions must provide enough run logs to show at p < 0.01 that they achieved the required 0.005-nat improvement. For submissions that improve speed through systems optimization without changing the ML, this requirement is waived. +If changes are made to the tokenizer or dataset, prove with certainty that the val_bpb is correctly calculated. Submissions that edit the tokenizer will be examined much more carefully, since bugs may unjustly improve your score. +Reproducibly run in under 10 minutes on 8xH100s. +All submissions should be made as a pull request that only adds a new folder to the appropriate /records subfolder and includes the following files. Submissions without the full set of requirements will not be accepted. +A README.md file that explains the submission in reasonable detail. +A submission.json file (see the example runs) that includes your name, GitHub ID, val_bpb, and related metadata. +A train log, automatically produced by your script. Please demonstrate a statistically significant win. Most often, submitting an average over 3 training runs is sufficient. +A train_gpt.py script and any other dependencies. Note: this must successfully compile and run within the records folder. Broken scripts will not be accepted. +Non-record Submissions + +Submissions are also open to unique and interesting approaches that might not beat the existing SOTA, but still satisfy the 16MB artifact limit. We strongly encourage participants to submit implementations for weird or out-of-the-box ideas, in-progress or unoptimized solutions, so long as they run successfully, or even interesting negative results. We're excited to see what you come up with. We'll still maintain a high bar for non-record submissions, so be sure to justify your ideas and results in detail when submitting. +We also accept non-record submissions to an unlimited compute track for runs that are not intended to meet the 10-minute cutoff. Just note as such in your README file. +Non-record submissions should be made in the same fashion as SOTA records, as described above. +PRs on Core Code + +The train_gpt.py and train_gpt_mlx.py scripts are intended as good launching-off points for new participants, not SOTA configs. We'll accept PRs that tune, improve, or simplify these scripts without significantly increasing complexity, but the best models should stay in the /records folder. +Support + +Join the [OpenAI Discord server](https://discord.com/invite/openai) and visit the Parameter Golf channels (#parameter-golf-discussions, #parameter-golf-announcements) and ask questions. +This repository adapts code from modded-nanogpt, see [THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/blob/main/THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md) for attribution. [https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf) Good challenge to look at. Let me pull the repo and current SOTA details so I can give you a concrete strategy rather than hand-waving.Now let me check the Discord discussion to see what directions people are exploring.Okay, here's my honest assessment after reviewing the repo, leaderboard, all record READMEs, and the competitive landscape. + +**The reality check first**: This competition is 2 days old and already has 94 open PRs, SOTA at 1.1748 (down from 1.2244 baseline). The NanoGPT speedrun community — people like Keller Jordan who've been grinding this exact optimization surface for years — are going to push this hard. It's also explicitly a recruiting funnel for early-career researchers (undergrads, Olympiad medalists). You're not the target demographic for the hiring side, but you can absolutely compete on the technical side and it could be good for visibility. + +**What's already been exploited** (the "easy" gains are taken): +- Sliding window eval (stride=64) — free bpb improvement from better context +- FP16 tied embeddings — int8 errors compound through tied embed/output +- 10 layers instead of 9 — Muon WD compresses enough to fit +- Muon optimizer with decoupled weight decay +- Spectral embedding init (SVD power-law shaping) +- LoRA test-time training (separate submission, not yet combined with SOTA) +- Longer sequence lengths (4k) +- Mixed int8/int6 precision + +**Where the real opportunity is** — here's what I'd build, in priority order: + +**1. Combine TTT with the current SOTA training recipe (highest ROI, fastest)** + +Nobody has done this yet. The current leader (1.1748) is training-only improvements. The LoRA TTT submission (1.1928) is baseline training + TTT eval. The TTT ablation table shows ~0.034 bpb improvement from doc-isolated + strided eval + LoRA TTT. Applying that delta to the 1.1748 SOTA training should land you around 1.14–1.15. That's a massive jump and it's almost mechanical to implement — just graft the TTT eval code onto the winning training config. Do this first because it's low-risk and could be the quickest path to the leaderboard. + +**2. Depth recurrence (weight-tied deep loops)** + +This is the architecturally interesting play and where your MoE experience is relevant. The idea: share weights across groups of layers so you effectively get a 20-30 layer model with the parameter budget of 10. Universal Transformer style, but with learned iteration schedules. The 16MB constraint penalizes unique parameters, but recurrent depth is "free" in terms of model size — you just pay in training/eval FLOPs, and you have 10 min on 8xH100s plus 10 min eval budget. There's already a PR (#15) for recursive weight sharing, so you won't be the only one exploring this, but the implementation details matter a lot (how many unique blocks, what's shared, gradient flow through loops). + +**3. Quantization-aware training + BitNet-style ternary weights** + +The current approaches do post-training quantization (train in fp32/bf16, export int8+zlib). QAT during training means your model learns to be robust to quantization, and ternary/1.58-bit weights compress dramatically under zlib. If you can get ternary weights working, a model that's "16MB compressed" could represent far more effective parameters than anyone using int8. This is harder to get right but has the highest ceiling. + +**4. Tokenizer optimization (high risk, high scrutiny)** + +The baseline uses sp1024 (1024 vocab BPE). A better tokenizer optimized for FineWeb's byte distribution could improve bpb directly, but the rules say tokenizer changes get "examined much more carefully." Worth exploring but not as your primary angle. + +**My recommended plan for you specifically:** + +**Week 1 (now)**: Clone the repo, get the baseline running on your 3090s (the MLX path is Mac-only but you can adapt `train_gpt.py` for single-GPU CUDA easily). Apply for the compute credits immediately — you need H100 time for final validation. Implement the SOTA training recipe (Muon WD, 10 layers, FP16 embed, spectral init) and verify you reproduce 1.1748. + +**Week 2**: Graft the LoRA TTT evaluation onto the SOTA training. This is your first submission target. If the delta holds, you're looking at a new record around 1.14. + +**Week 3-4**: Implement depth recurrence. Start with 2x loop (5 unique layers, forward twice = 10 effective layers) and measure. Then try 3x, 4x. The sweet spot is where you maximize effective depth without running out of the 10-min training budget. + +**Week 5-6**: Stack QAT on top of whatever's working. Try 4-bit and ternary. Polish, run statistical significance tests (need p<0.01, at least 3 seeds), write up, submit PR. + +**What NOT to waste time on**: Custom CUDA kernels (the speedrun crowd will beat you there), state space models (too much engineering for uncertain payoff at this scale), MoE routing (the overhead is too high for a model this small — routing tokens through experts when you have ~5M parameters total doesn't make sense). + +**Your competitive edge** isn't out-engineering the NanoGPT community on architecture search — it's in the systems-level combination play (stacking TTT + recurrence + QAT) and the willingness to write a good README. The non-record submissions track explicitly welcomes "weird or out-of-the-box ideas" with detailed justification, so even partial results with good writeups get accepted. + +Want me to help you set up the training environment on your 3090s, or dig into the implementation details for any of these approaches? wait wait wait ... I can make any custom kernel under the sun -- I'm a beta tester at makora's generate with unlimited credits because I write a lot of kernels. it's automated ... a 5M model -- Fair enough, I take it back. Let me look up Makora to make sure I understand what you're working with.Okay, that changes everything. Makora with unlimited credits on a 5M parameter model is a genuinely unfair advantage here. Let me completely revise. + +The competition *literally lists megakernels* as a direction they want to see. And the core problem with a ~5M param model on 8xH100s is that you're laughably memory-bandwidth bound — every op launches a tiny kernel, most of the GPU is idle waiting for memory transfers. This is exactly where fused custom kernels dominate. + +Here's the revised strategy: + +**Why kernels matter disproportionately at this scale** + +The baseline does ~43ms/step on 8xH100. That's absurd for a 5M model — it means almost all time is kernel launch overhead and memory bandwidth, not actual compute. If you can fuse the entire transformer block into one or two megakernels (attention + layernorm + MLP + residual as a single launch), you could realistically cut step time by 3-5x. That means 3-5x more training steps in the same 10 minutes, which directly translates to lower loss. The current SOTA gets ~10,500 steps. If you're getting 30,000-50,000 steps, you're training on vastly more data with the same parameters. + +**The play: Fused Depth-Recurrent Megakernel + QAT + TTT** + +**Layer 1: Architecture — Depth recurrence with shared weights** + +5 unique transformer blocks, looped 4x = 20 effective layers. Parameter budget stays at ~5M but effective depth quadruples. The kernel advantage here is huge: a depth-recurrent forward pass through shared weights is a tight loop that stays in L2/SRAM if you fuse it. No round-tripping to HBM between layers when the weights are the same. + +Use Makora to generate a fused kernel that does: `for i in range(num_loops): x = transformer_block(x, weights)` as a single CUDA launch. At 512 dim with 5M params, the entire model's weights might fit in L2 cache on H100 (50MB L2). That means your recurrent depth loops hit cache every time. + +**Layer 2: Custom precision kernels** + +The 16MB limit is on int8+zlib compressed size. But what if your model trains in ternary/1.58-bit from the start with QAT? Ternary weights ({-1, 0, +1}) compress under zlib dramatically — you could fit maybe 3-4x more parameters in the same 16MB. That means instead of 5M params at int8, you could pack 15-20M effective ternary params. + +Use Makora to generate BitNet-style ternary matmul kernels. The H100 has dedicated int8 tensor cores; you could also generate custom int4 kernels that pack two ops per int8 tensor core cycle. + +**Layer 3: Fused training megakernel** + +The dream kernel for this challenge: a single CUDA kernel that does the entire forward + backward pass for one transformer block. At 512 dim, everything fits in shared memory. No intermediate activations written to HBM. This is legitimately doable at this model size and it's the kind of thing nobody else in the competition can easily replicate. + +Feed Makora the PyTorch reference for: `layernorm → q/k/v proj → GQA attention → residual → layernorm → MLP → residual` and have it generate a fused forward kernel targeting H100. Then do the same for the backward pass. + +**Layer 4: TTT eval with custom kernels** + +The LoRA TTT approach does per-document adaptation at eval time. The bottleneck is the Adam update per chunk. Generate a fused kernel that does: `forward → loss → backward → LoRA update` as one launch per chunk. The eval budget is also 10 minutes on 8xH100, and the current TTT implementation uses ~1/10th of that budget. With fused kernels you could do multi-step TTT (2-3 gradient steps per chunk instead of 1) and still stay within budget. + +**Concrete execution plan:** + +**Week 1:** +1. Clone repo, reproduce baseline on your 3090s (single GPU, slower but functional for iteration) +2. Apply for H100 compute credits immediately +3. Start feeding Makora the core ops: fused attention for 512-dim/8-head/4-KV-head GQA, fused MLP (512→1024→512 with GeLU), fused layernorm+residual +4. Implement depth recurrence (5 blocks × 4 loops) in PyTorch first, verify it trains + +**Week 2:** +5. Integrate Makora kernels into training script, benchmark step time on H100 +6. Implement QAT with ternary quantization — start with straight-through estimator, measure compressed model size +7. Target: if fused kernels cut step time to ~15ms, you're doing 40,000 steps in 10 min + +**Week 3:** +8. Graft LoRA TTT eval onto your training recipe +9. Generate fused TTT eval kernel via Makora +10. Stack sliding window eval on top +11. First end-to-end run on 8xH100, measure bpb + +**Week 4:** +12. Hyperparameter sweep (LR schedule, recurrence depth, LoRA rank) +13. Statistical significance runs (3+ seeds, p<0.01) +14. Write README, submit PR + +**What this could realistically score:** + +Current SOTA is 1.1748. The decomposition of improvements: +- Depth recurrence (20 effective layers vs 10): ~0.02-0.03 bpb +- 3-5x more training steps from fused kernels: ~0.02-0.04 bpb +- QAT ternary allowing more params in 16MB: ~0.01-0.02 bpb +- TTT eval (already shown ~0.03 bpb gain): ~0.03 bpb +- These don't stack linearly, but something in the range of **1.10-1.12 bpb** seems plausible + +That would be a massive gap over current SOTA. And the submission writeup — "automated kernel generation enabling depth-recurrent megakernels at sub-5M scale" — is exactly the kind of creative, out-of-box approach they're asking for. Even if it doesn't beat SOTA, it's a lock for the non-record track. + +**One risk to flag:** the rules say "no external downloads, training dataset access, or network calls during evaluation" and the artifact must be self-contained. Your Makora-generated kernels are fine — they're just CUDA code that gets baked into `train_gpt.py`. But make sure the generated kernel source is included in the submission, not loaded at runtime. + +Want me to draft the specific Makora problem specs for the core kernels you'd need to generate? --- we have makora skills but first we have to build out this model to win.-=---here's more feedback,. it's a lot to unpack; ### 1) Where Models Agree + +| Finding | GPT-5.4 Thinking | Claude Opus 4.6 Thinking | Sonar | Evidence | +|---------|-----------|-----------|-----------|----------| +| Fastest high-EV first move is **graft LoRA TTT + sliding-window eval onto the current best training recipe** | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Separate record shows LoRA TTT + sliding window exists but not combined with SOTA recipe yet.

[github](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/117) | + +*** + +## 4) Comprehensive Analysis + +**High-Confidence Findings (what to do first, with best expected value).** +All three models converge on the same immediate “record-hunter” move: **take the best-known training recipe and bolt on the best-known evaluation-time gains (sliding-window + LoRA TTT)**, because those improvements have already been demonstrated separately but (per the council’s reading of the repo/PR landscape) are not yet cleanly stacked into one submission. The logic is very strong: training-recipe improvements move the base model down, and TTT+sliding-window tends to deliver an additional eval-time delta; stacking them is the lowest-risk way to create a step-change quickly. Given how fast the PR ecosystem is moving, the council also agrees with the “time-to-first-credible-submission” mindset: get a real number early, then iterate. [github](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/blob/main/records/track_10min_16mb/2026-03-19_SlidingWindow_FP16Emb_10L_MuonWD_OvertoneInit/README.md) + +Second, there’s broad agreement that **depth recurrence / aggressive parameter tying** is one of the few levers that genuinely changes the Pareto frontier under a strict **16,000,000-byte** artifact cap. The existence of multiple recurrence PRs (e.g., depth recurrence and weight tying attempts) is evidence that this is a main competitive direction and still implementation-sensitive. In other words: even if lots of people try recurrence, the *details* (how many unique blocks, gating, stability, loop scheduling, eval compute) can still produce a decisive edge—especially if you can support it with kernels. [github](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/8) + +Third, the council aligns on quantization: **QAT matters**, and **extreme low-bit** (ternary / BitNet b1.58 style) is the “highest ceiling” because it can radically increase “effective parameters per byte,” but it has real optimization risk under a 10-minute training budget. This is why two models push a staged approach: int4-QAT first (more predictable), then ternary once the pipeline is stable. [arxiv](https://arxiv.org/html/2411.05882v1) + +**Areas of Divergence (how aggressive to be, and where your personal edge changes the answer).** +The biggest disagreement is about **custom kernels**. The conservative stance (GPT-5.4 Thinking, Sonar) is: don’t race speedrun experts on generic kernel work; only build kernels if they unlock more steps, more context, or more TTT within the hard time caps. Claude Opus 4.6 Thinking flips this because of your stated advantage: you have **Makora Generate** plus prior kernel experience, which collapses the “kernel engineering cost” dramatically. That changes the calculus: kernels become a *strategy*, not a tax—*but only if they are aimed at the right bottlenecks*. The council still agrees on the bottleneck-centric criterion: build kernels that (a) reduce eval overhead for sliding-window/TTT, (b) make recurrent unrolled blocks launch-efficient, and/or (c) make low-bit matmuls viable under the eval budget. + +There’s also a tactical disagreement about **tokenizers**. Everyone agrees they’re scrutinized, but Claude argues it should be more central given you literally just built a tokenizer and the metric is **bits per byte** (so representation efficiency can matter directly). The more cautious view is to treat tokenizer work as a parallel “moonshot branch” until you’ve got a strong baseline stack; the risk is not purely technical—it’s review burden, reproducibility, and the possibility that you sink time into retokenization pipelines while the leaderboard moves. The compromise that best matches the council: start tokenizer work early in parallel (so you amortize time), but don’t let it block your first stacked submission. + +Finally, the council differs on how early to bet on **ternary**. Claude recommends a continual transition schedule (train in 16-bit, then switch into 1.58-bit QAT later), which is consistent with published findings that a 16→1.58-bit transition can outperform full-time 1.58-bit training in some settings. GPT/Sonar prefer int4 first to reduce the chance you spend a week debugging an unstable ternary## 1) Where Models Agree [arxiv](https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.11895) + +| Finding | GPT-5.4 Thinking | Claude Opus 4.6 Thinking | Sonar | Evidence | +|---|---:|---:|---:|---| +| Fastest near-certain gain: **graft LoRA TTT + sliding-window eval onto the best training recipe** | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Separate records show TTT + sliding-window help, but not yet stacked with the best training recipe; council says composition is the first “record-hunter” move.

[github](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/117) | + +## 4) Comprehensive Analysis + +### High-Confidence Findings +All three models converge on the same core meta-strategy: **the win condition is stacking orthogonal levers**—(a) evaluation-time adaptation (TTT), (b) parameter-efficiency tricks (depth recurrence / tying), (c) compression/quantization (QAT → lower bit), and (d) possibly tokenizer improvements—because the challenge is explicitly constrained by **artifact bytes and wallclock**, not by “purity” of architecture. The agreement that your first move should be “mechanical composition” (SOTA training recipe + LoRA-TTT eval + sliding-window eval) is especially actionable: it’s the shortest path to a credible leaderboard jump while you build the higher-upside system. [github](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf) + +The second strong consensus is that **depth recurrence is the architectural unlock** under a 16MB cap. The public repo already has multiple recurrence PRs, which signals both that it’s promising and that execution quality (stability, gating, loop count, training recipe) is the differentiator. Since recurrence trades parameters for FLOPs, it aligns well with a setting where you have a hard size cap but a generous 8×H100 budget for short bursts. [github](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/29) + +Finally, all models agree QAT is a major ceiling-raiser, but it needs sequencing. The evidence base they cite is that staged transitions (train higher precision, then transition into extreme low-bit) can be easier to optimize than “low-bit from step 1,” which matters under a 10-minute budget. The council also notes that the repo/records ecosystem is already trending toward mixed precision and QAT-style “snap” phases, so this is not speculative. [github](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/117) + +### Areas of Divergence +The biggest practical disagreement is **how much to lean into kernels**. Claude Opus 4.6 argues that with makora, kernels stop being a time sink and become a decisive advantage—because fused recurrent blocks and fused LoRA-TTT steps can convert directly into more steps/loops/adaptation inside the caps. GPT-5.4 and Sonar don’t reject kernels, but they’re stricter: only write kernels when you can point to a specific bottleneck that unlocks *new* behavior (more TTT steps, longer context sliding-window, recurrent unrolling) rather than incremental throughput that the speedrun crowd may match. Given your stated background (custom kernels, custom attention, tokenizer) and makora access, Claude’s weighting is plausibly correct *for you*, but GPT’s caution is still operationally important: kernels can sprawl unless tightly scoped. [github](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/77) + +Quantization is the other key divergence: GPT-5.4 recommends **int4 QAT first, ternary later**, while Claude pushes harder toward **1.58-bit / ternary** as the central moonshot. The underlying difference is risk management: int4 has a more reliable optimization path; ternary has a bigger compression/param-density payoff but higher instability risk in short training. The right reconciliation is to branch: keep a robust int4-QAT branch producing incremental record attempts while a ternary branch explores the ceiling. [arxiv](https://arxiv.org/html/2502.11895v1) + +Tokenizer emphasis differs mostly on scheduling. All models acknowledge the repo supports reproducible tokenizer rebuild and shard export, but GPT frames tokenizer as a “moonshot branch” whereas Claude/Sonar elevate it because you personally can do it quickly and because the metric is bits-per-byte, making tokenizer efficiency directly relevant. Practically: tokenizer work is high leverage only if you can (1) keep the artifact under 16,000,000 bytes, (2) keep evaluation byte accounting indisputable, and (3) avoid spending your entire iteration budget on retokenization pipelines. [github](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/blob/main/data/README.md) + +### Unique Insights Worth Noting +Claude’s most interesting unique contribution is **depth attention / MoDA-style depth-KV** layered on top of recurrence: recurrence alone can become “same layer repeated,” but allowing attention heads to attend to KV from previous recurrence iterations gives the model a cheap mechanism to reuse intermediate computations across depth, increasing expressivity without ballooning unique parameters. This is unusually well-matched to your “custom attention” comfort. [arxiv](https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.15619) + +GPT’s unique warning—treat the bar as already ~1.170—matters strategically: if the leaderboard is moving daily, a “TTT + SOTA” graft that might have topped yesterday could be “nice but not enough” tomorrow, so you should **parallelize** the record-hunter graft with at least one deeper architectural bet (recurrence and/or low-bit QAT). [github](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/117) + +### Recommendations (actionable “highest upside” plan) +Do this as **three parallel branches**, with explicit stop/go gates: + +1) **Branch A (48–72h): Record-hunter graft** + - Reproduce current best training recipe, then add **sliding-window eval + LoRA TTT** as-is.

The iterative refinement process (failing validation → retrying → improving) works. The RMSNorm+QKV kernel went through ~47 failed attempts before landing valid kernels, then consistently produced 1.40-1.48x variants. That's impressive autonomous optimization. + +**CLI experience:** `makora generate --file problem.py -d H100 -l triton` is clean. Job submission, monitoring with `makora jobs`, and pulling results with `makora kernels ` all work well. + +**Parallel runs:** Running CLI and web app simultaneously gave different solutions — the web app found a 1.17x LM head kernel while CLI only managed 1.00x on the same problem. Useful to run both. + +**Benchmark reporting:** The per-kernel timing breakdown (vs eager, vs torch.compile) is exactly what you need to decide whether to integrate. + +## Issues Encountered + +### 1. Generated kernels produce incorrect results at integration time + +This is the biggest issue. Both the RMSNorm+QKV (1.48x) and LoRA (1.40x) kernels passed Makora's validation but produced **incorrect results** when integrated into the actual training pipeline: + +- **RMSNorm+QKV:** `CUDA error: illegal memory access` on 8xH100. The kernel assumes specific alignment (M % 256 == 0, K % 128 == 0) but the fallback path with masking still crashed. Likely an out-of-bounds write in the masked kernel variant. + +- **Batched LoRA:** Passed forward validation but produced wrong numerical results during test-time training evaluation. Post-quant eval went from val_bpb=1.296 (correct, PyTorch) to val_bpb=1.657 (wrong, Makora kernel). The packed weight layout (`_pack_weights` with rank-16 padding) may have a subtle transpose or indexing bug that doesn't show up in single-pass validation but accumulates over iterative LoRA updates. + +**Root cause hypothesis:** Makora validates correctness with a single forward pass on random inputs, but integration contexts involve: +- Autocast (bf16 compute with fp32 accumulation) +- Gradient computation through the output +- Iterative application (LoRA weights updated between calls) +- Non-standard tensor strides from DDP/torch.compile + +**Suggestion:** Offer an option to validate with gradient flow (backward pass) and with multiple sequential calls using updated parameters. + +### 2. Windows CLI encoding issues + +`makora info`, `makora check`, and other commands crash on Windows with: +``` +UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u2717' +``` + +The Rich library tries to output Unicode checkmarks/crosses that cp1252 (Windows default) can't handle. Workaround: `PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 makora ...`. Should be fixed in the CLI by setting the console encoding or using ASCII fallbacks. + +### 3. `expert-generate` vs `generate` confusion + +I initially used `makora expert-generate` (which takes an existing solution and improves it) when I meant to use `makora generate` (which creates a solution from a problem file). `expert-generate` silently accepted the problem file as if it were a solution, echoed it back unchanged, and reported "No relevant optimization patterns found." + +**Suggestion:** `expert-generate` should detect when it receives a problem file (has `Model` class + `get_inputs()`) instead of a solution file (has `ModelNew` class) and error with a helpful message. + +### 4. Device naming inconsistency between docs and CLI + +Skill docs say `nvidia/H100`, CLI requires just `H100`. Minor but caused a failed attempt. + +## Feature Requests + +1. **Multi-pass correctness validation:** Validate kernel output across multiple sequential calls with parameter updates between them (critical for training/TTT use cases). + +2. **Gradient validation:** Option to verify backward pass produces correct gradients, not just forward output. Training kernels that break autograd are useless even if forward is correct. + +3. **Integration template generation:** Given a problem file, generate not just the kernel but a drop-in replacement function with proper dtype casting, contiguity checks, and fallback path. The boilerplate around `ensure weights are bf16`, `handle non-contiguous tensors`, `fall back if dimensions don't align` is where most integration bugs live. + +4. **Batch generation:** Submit multiple problems in one command and get results for all. Would have saved time vs 6 separate submissions. + +## Bottom Line + +Makora's kernel generation quality is genuinely good — 1.48x on fused RMSNorm+QKV is a real win that I couldn't easily hand-write. The problem is the gap between "passes Makora validation" and "works correctly in a real training pipeline." If that gap closes, this tool becomes indispensable for ML competitions and production optimization. + +**Would use again.** The unlimited beta credits made it practical to explore kernel optimization as a competition strategy, even though the kernels ultimately couldn't be used in the final submission due to correctness issues. + +--- + +*Anthony Maio — March 2026* +*Competition: OpenAI Parameter Golf (github.com/openai/parameter-golf)* +*Submission: Depth recurrence + kitchen sink stack* diff --git a/.private/memory_ttt_debug.md b/.private/memory_ttt_debug.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..dfbc537aa --- /dev/null +++ b/.private/memory_ttt_debug.md @@ -0,0 +1,19 @@ +# TTT Debug Status + +## Confirmed +- TTT works on 1xH100, 200 steps, TORCH_COMPILE=0 (improved bpb by 0.105) +- TTT fails on 8xH100, full training, TORCH_COMPILE=1 (degrades bpb by ~0.09) +- SmearGate is NOT the cause (tested with minimal model, both with/without) +- Fresh model with correct dtypes (CastedLinear.float()) still fails +- Passing base_model directly also fails + +## Hypothesis: torch.compile + BigramHash graph break +- BigramHash.bigram_hash() uses torch.bitwise_xor and .to(torch.int32) +- These are NOT compatible with torch.compile(fullgraph=True) +- May cause Dynamo to cache wrong graph or silently produce incorrect output +- Need to test: full 8xH100 run with TORCH_COMPILE=0 + +## Next test +Run on 8xH100 with TORCH_COMPILE=0 to confirm.

Quant format & scales: + - Block scaling: one floating scale per contiguous block (e.g., 32 elements → 1 scale).

Follow vendor layout (NVIDIA vs AMD differ in minor stride). +2. Hardware path (SM100+/CDNA4): + - Use tl.dot_scaled(a_ptr, scale_a_ptr, b_ptr, scale_b_ptr) which performs scaleddot with device TCs. Load tiles and corresponding scale tiles alongside data in the K-loop. +3. Dequantize path (fallback hardware): + - Load quantized tile (packed bits if INT4/FP4). Depack/unpack into FP16/FP32, multiply by scale tile: a_dec = a_unpacked.to(tl.float16) * scale_a. + - Compute acc with FP32: acc += tl.dot(a_dec, b_dec).to(tl.float32). +4. Mixed formats: + - Support A in FP8 and B in FP4: load each tile and its scale, dequantize separately or call tl.dot_scaled with both scales if hardware supports mixed types. +5.

Subject: [PATCH 25/28] Packed int6 serialization: 25% smaller artifacts, enables int6 for 11L Custom binary packing stores 4 int6 values in 3 bytes (6 bits each) instead of wasting 2 bits per value with int8 storage. This reduces raw artifact size by 25%, which combined with zstd-22 compression should fit 11L models under 16MB with int6 precision. Int6 has ~0.015 bpb less quantization penalty than int5, so this change should improve our score from ~1.14 to ~1.125 while keeping artifacts under the 16MB limit.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Packed int6 + zstd-22 produces 20.2MB artifacts — still over 16MB. The extra entropy per int6 value (64 states vs 32 for int5) doesn't compress away. The competition's int6 fits via aggressive QAT that clusters weights near grid points, reducing entropy. Our QAT isn't aggressive enough yet. Keep int5 as default (15.79MB, valid). Packed int6 code is preserved for future use when QAT improves.

Late QAT with STE +Both top PRs do "STE fake-quantization when LR scale < 0.1" — quantization-aware training in the final phase. +- What's the exact implementation of STE (Straight-Through Estimator) for int6? +- How do you add fake-quantize nodes during training? Is it `torch.fake_quantize_per_channel_affine` or custom? +- Does this work with Muon optimizer or only Adam? +- What's the training overhead (+28% step time was mentioned)? +- Can we do this JUST for the warmdown phase to minimize overhead? + +### 4. Shared Value Embedding +Both top PRs mention "Shared Value Embedding (dim=128, on layers 9-10)" with per-layer learned scales. +- How does this work? Is the embedding table reused as an additional value projection? +- What's the architecture change in the attention layer? +- How many additional parameters does this add? +- Why only on the last 2 layers? + +### 5. LN Scale Factor 1/sqrt(layer_idx+1) +- Is this applied to the output of each block (like a residual scaling)? +- Or is it a modification to the RMSNorm itself? +- What's the theoretical justification? +- Is this related to muP (maximal update parameterization)? + +### 6. GPTQ-lite Clip Percentile Search +PR #379 mentions per-layer optimal clip percentile search during int6 quantization. +- How does this work? Try N clip ratios per weight matrix, pick the one minimizing reconstruction error? +- What's the search space? How many candidates? +- Does it require a calibration dataset or just the weight statistics? +- What's the wall-clock cost of this search? (It's post-training, so it's "free" in the 10-min budget) + +### 7. Tight SWA (scale < 0.2, last ~600 steps) +PR #374 achieves "zero SWA penalty" by only averaging checkpoints in the very final phase. +- What's the exact trigger? `swa_start_frac = 0.2` instead of our 0.5? +- How many checkpoints get averaged? (~600 steps / swa_every=50 = ~12 checkpoints) +- Our SWA with warmdown=3000 on 7400 steps starts at step 4400 and averages ~60 checkpoints. Is that too many? + +### 8. U-Net Skip Connections for 11L +PR #374 uses "5 encoder, 6 decoder" with skip connections. +- Our 9L model already has U-Net skips (from PR #162). How do we extend this to 11L? +- Is the encoder/decoder split always floor(L/2) encoder + ceil(L/2) decoder? +- What happens to skip weights when we go from 9L to 11L? + +### 9. Logit Softcap 30.0 +Both top PRs use logit softcap = 30.0. +- Our model already uses this. Confirm it's `softcap * tanh(logits / softcap)`. +- Is there any benefit to tuning this value? + +### 10. Fitting 11L under 16MB without int4 +PR #374 fits 11L with "int6 (MLP+attention), int8 (embeddings), zstd-22" at ~15.7MB. +- Our 11L int6+zstd produces 19.1MB. How do they achieve 15.7MB? +- Is their int6 implementation different from ours? +- Do they use a custom serialization format instead of torch.save? +- Could Late QAT be the key?

+This is a non-record submission exploring a diffusion-inspired training objective while keeping the repository's standard autoregressive evaluation intact. + +The core idea is simple: + +- Keep the normal next-token loss and `val_bpb` computation unchanged. +- Add a denoising auxiliary loss during training by corrupting the input prefix tokens before predicting the next token. +- Ramp the corruption ratio over training, so the model sees progressively noisier contexts. + +This is intentionally not a literal diffusion language model. The point of this run is to test an easier-to-integrate approximation first: "teach the autoregressive model to recover next-token predictions from partially corrupted history" without changing the tokenizer, dataset format, or `val_bpb` accounting. + +## What Changed + +The record-local `train_gpt.py` differs from the root baseline in three main ways: + +1. It adds a diffusion-style noising path: + - `diffusion_noise_ratio_for_step(...)` linearly interpolates the noise level from `0.05` to `0.35`. + - `corrupt_input_ids(...)` preserves the first token in each sequence, then corrupts later tokens using an EOS-token sentinel (`mask_token_id=2`) plus `15%` random replacements inside the noisy subset. + - Training minimizes a weighted interpolation of clean AR loss and noisy-context AR loss with `DIFFUSION_AUX_WEIGHT=0.35`. + +2. It keeps validation honest: + - Validation is still the repository's standard autoregressive `eval_val(...)`. + - No tokenizer edits, no dataset edits, no custom scoring conversion from denoising steps back into next-token probabilities. + +3. It is made portable for local smoke runs: + - `COMPILE_ENABLED=0` by default to avoid Triton/Inductor requirements on this machine. + - Safe math SDP is enabled by default instead of flash-only kernels. + - LoRA TTT evaluation is gated behind `TTT_EVAL_ENABLED=0` for this submission. + +## Smoke Run + +This run is a real end-to-end smoke test on a local Windows workstation with `1x NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080`, using: + +- Dataset: published `fineweb10B_sp1024` +- Training shards: `1` +- Validation: full `fineweb_val_*` split +- Model: `4` layers, `256` dim, `4` attention heads, `2` KV heads +- Sequence length: `512` +- Batch: `65536` train tokens/step +- Steps: `4` train steps after `1` warmup step + +Command: + +```bash +RUN_ID=diffusion_smoke_clean_20260326 \ +DATA_PATH=D:/Development/parameter-golf/data/datasets/fineweb10B_sp1024 \ +TOKENIZER_PATH=D:/Development/parameter-golf/data/tokenizers/fineweb_1024_bpe.model \ +VOCAB_SIZE=1024 \ +NUM_LAYERS=4 \ +MODEL_DIM=256 \ +NUM_HEADS=4 \ +NUM_KV_HEADS=2 \ +MLP_MULT=2 \ +TIE_EMBEDDINGS=1 \ +ITERATIONS=4 \ +WARMUP_STEPS=1 \ +MAX_WALLCLOCK_SECONDS=0 \ +TRAIN_BATCH_TOKENS=65536 \ +TRAIN_SEQ_LEN=512 \ +TRAIN_LOG_EVERY=1 \ +VAL_LOSS_EVERY=0 \ +VAL_BATCH_SIZE=524288 \ +DIFFUSION_ENABLED=1 \ +DIFFUSION_AUX_WEIGHT=0.35 \ +DIFFUSION_NOISE_MIN_RATIO=0.05 \ +DIFFUSION_NOISE_MAX_RATIO=0.35 \ +DIFFUSION_RANDOM_REPLACE_PROB=0.15 \ +DIFFUSION_MASK_TOKEN_ID=2 \ +TTT_EVAL_ENABLED=0 \ +COMPILE_ENABLED=0 \ +python train_gpt.py +``` + +## Results + +From `train.log`: + +- Final pre-quant validation: `val_loss=6.9113`, `val_bpb=4.0933` +- Final int8+zlib roundtrip: `val_loss=6.91404936`, `val_bpb=4.09488948` +- Training time to step 4: `1448ms` +- Roundtrip eval time: `76638ms` +- Peak memory: `1731 MiB allocated`, `2978 MiB reserved` +- Model parameters: `2,101,776` +- Serialized model int8+zlib: `1,673,079 bytes` +- Code size: `64,832 bytes` +- Total submission size int8+zlib: `1,737,911 bytes` + +## Takeaway + +This particular smoke run is a negative-result-style submission, not a competitive one.
