Motivation

Validate the coming Triton 3.8.0 release for AITER end to end: point CI at the temporary release_tmp2 wheel channel, bump the pinned Triton to 3.8.0, and include the gated-delta-rule fix required to run on 3.8.0 (where tl.make_block_ptr was removed). This branch is for CI validation only and should not be merged.

Technical Details

  • Cherry-picks the gated-delta-rule block-pointer fix from [Triton/Gluon] [gfx950] gated_delta_rule: drop removed tl.make_block_ptr #4950 (commit 39c1154f5): replaces the removed tl.make_block_ptr block loads/stores with explicit pointer-arithmetic helpers (_bp_ld1d/_bp_st1d/_bp_ld2d/_bp_st2d) plus bounds masks across chunk_o.py, fused_cumsum_kkt.py, fused_solve_tril_recompute.py, cumsum.py, and solve_tril.py under aiter/ops/triton/_triton_kernels/gated_delta_rule/.
  • .github/scripts/install_triton.sh and .github/scripts/download_triton_wheel.sh: switch the Triton wheel index channel from release to release_tmp2, so the index URL becomes https://pypi.amd.com/triton/release_tmp2/rocm-<ver>/simple/ (both the default and the rocm-core-derived paths), and bump the pinned Triton wheel from 3.7.0 to 3.8.0.

Test Plan

  • Confirm CI resolves the Triton 3.8.0 and triton-kernels wheels from the release_tmp2 index.
  • Confirm the gated-delta-rule Triton tests pass on 3.8.0 with the block-pointer fix in place.

… Triton 3.8

Triton 3.8 removed block pointers. tl.make_block_ptr still exists as a symbol
but raises at trace time:

  NotImplementedError: Block pointers have been removed in favor of the
  tensor descriptor API

so every gated_delta_rule kernel using it fails to compile. This is an API
removal, not a GPU issue - it reproduces identically on gfx950 and gfx942, and
is what makes op_tests/test_gdn_prepare.py fail on both MI35X and MI300X.

Convert all 128 block accesses to plain pointer arithmetic with explicit bounds
masks, reproducing the previous boundary_check=(0, 1) semantics:

  prefill/chunk_o.py                     42 sites (6 kernels)
  prefill/fused_solve_tril_recompute.py  41
  utils/solve_tril.py                    35
  prefill/fused_cumsum_kkt.py            10
  utils/cumsum.py                         2

The 2-D helper in chunk_o.py takes both strides so the transposed (K, T) views
with stride (1, H * K) convert without a special case. Stores keep their
fp_downcast_rounding="rtne" behaviour.

Validation on gfx950 with triton 3.8.0+amd.rocm7.1.0.gitf6a045ff:
  op_tests/test_gdn_prepare.py   28 rows, max |err| = 0.0, all shapes / all
                                 three hidden backends (triton/flydsl/hip)
….8.0

Switch the Triton wheel index channel from release to release_tmp2 in
install_triton.sh and download_triton_wheel.sh so CI resolves wheels from
the temporary channel: https://pypi.amd.com/triton/release_tmp2/rocm-<ver>/simple/
Also bump the pinned Triton wheel from 3.7.0 to 3.8.0.

🏷️ CI Guide

Runs automatically on every PR:

  • ✅ Pre-checks (submodule verification, code formatting)
  • ✅ Aiter op tests (gfx942 + gfx950)
  • ✅ Triton tests on MI35X (only when aiter/ops/triton/** or related paths are changed)

Extended tests (opt-in via labels):

Label Tests
ci:gfx1250-ffm-triton Run the five-shard gfx1250 FFM Triton test suite
ci:triton-300x Run an additional Triton test job on MI300X in PRs; main branch always runs both MI35X and MI300X
multigpu Aiter multi-GPU tests on the 8-GPU runner
ci:sglang SGLang integration tests: DeepSeek-R1-MXFP4 accuracy, Qwen 3.5 accuracy
ci:atom ATOM benchmark: DeepSeek-R1-0528, GPT-OSS-120B
ci:atom_full ATOM accuracy suite for PR and main models from ATOM models_accuracy.json
ci:vllm vLLM benchmark: GPT-OSS-120B, DeepSeek-R1-0528, Kimi-K2.5
ci:all All standard extended tests (excludes ci:atom_full)

Only add ci:atom_full for FlyDSL or Triton upgrades.
Add labels via the sidebar or gh pr edit 5083 --add-label <label>

PR title tags:
Component tags ([Triton/Gluon], [HIP], [CK], [ASM], ...) are added to the PR title automatically from the changed files and re-synced on every push — change-type tags like [fix]/[Perf] and op tags like [MLA] are left untouched. Add the no-auto-title label to opt this PR out of title tagging.

…d_kv_attention

Replace the per-shape fp8e4m3 deselects with whole-node deselects for
test_pa_prefill and test_chunked_pa_prefill test_contexted_kv_attention, since
these hang the GPU on gfx942 with the coming Triton release.

…riton tests

Two additions on top of the release_tmp2 gdn block-pointer work:

1. Convert the remaining tl.make_block_ptr in l2norm.py (4 sites) and
   wy_representation.py (11) to plain pointer arithmetic for Triton 3.8. Both
   are on live e2e inference paths (l2norm_fwd on the qk-l2norm path,
   recompute_w_u_fwd on the non-fused chunk path) that test_gdn_prepare.py does
   not exercise, so a real GDN forward otherwise raises NotImplementedError at
   trace time. Verified: chunk_gated_delta_rule(use_qk_l2norm_in_kernel=True)
   runs to finite output on gfx950.

2. Deselect three triton tests that fail an accuracy check on the coming
   release (from ROCm#5083):
   - MI35X:  test_mha_varlen_with_pe[True-0.17-96-64-8-1-64-128] (gfx950
     scheduling regression from reverting amdgpu-use-amdgpu-trackers)
   - MI300X: test_contexted_kv_attention in test_pa_prefill.py and
     test_chunked_pa_prefill.py (accuracy fail, can hang the GPU)
