feat(dsv4): W4.5 multi-req KV + Triton MoE + Indexer FP8 (closes #37 KV/MoE; +30pp gsm8k) - #59
Conversation
…bisection (#37) Plan v3 pivots from FP8/per_1x128 blockscale port to FP4/per_1x32 CSV fix after silicon trace revealed ATOM quant_v4 layer rewrites the dispatch dtype. The blockscale port stays in-tree as future-proofing. Evidence M ships the silicon validation matrix: - W3 + FP4 CSV → 24 HIT/0 MISS, real Chinese tokens - W4 single + FP4 CSV → token-7795 collapse - W4 multi + FP4 CSV → token-7795 collapse Bisection isolates the W4 multi-request gibberish to _forward_w4 (atom/models/deepseek_v4.py:1778) — independent of MoE — and files it as follow-up sub-issue #37.W4-pool-collision. Includes silicon JSON artifacts and unique aiter LOOKUP keys log under docs/evidence/dsv4_w45/artifacts/. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Bisection isolated W4-path token-7795 collapse to
_get_window_topk_idxs_pertoken in atom/models/deepseek_v4.py:411.
The prior formula derived each token's window from the in-batch
offset:
base = pos - in_seq_offset + arange_w
valid = (base >= 0) & (base <= pos)
For decode steps cu_seqlens_q=[0,1] so in_seq_offset=0, giving
base[k]=pos+k, valid only at k=0. Each decode token attended to
ONLY its own current KV row — no historical window — so the model
collapsed to a single repeated token (silicon trace: token 7795
across all generated positions).
Fix: derive each token's window directly from absolute position,
independent of in-batch offset:
base = pos - (W - 1) + arange_w
valid = (base >= 0) & (base <= pos)
Each token's window now covers the W absolute positions ending at
pos[t]:
- warm (pos >= W-1): all W ring slots valid → full window
- early (pos < W-1): leading slots -1, trailing slots cover [0..pos]
Bit-exactly matches legacy _get_window_topk_idxs for both warm
and early-prefill branches. Existing test_deepseek_v4_w43_redo.py
helper tests (3/3) still pass.
Includes Evidence M update with gsm8k W3+FP4 result (0.30/0.30
flexible/strict at limit=20 num_concurrent=1) and the W4 fix RCA.

#37 W4.5) Post-topk-helper fix, W4 single-request output changed from single- token 7795 collapse to two-token 7242/1613 alternation. The single- token attractor is gone (proving the helper bug was real), but the W4 path retains additional bugs below the topk-helper layer. Top candidates for next bisection: compressor/indexer per-token state writes, KV scatter symmetry across decode steps, inverse RoPE on output. These are W4-path bugs orthogonal to MoE scope and gate the gsm8k W4 multi-request ≥60% accuracy. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Compressor._forward_w4 has a prefill bug: it only triggers compress
emission for the LAST token of each seq (`(last_position+1) % ratio
== 0`), but legacy prefill emits one compressed entry per ratio-block.
For a 12-token prefill on c4 layers (ratio=4), legacy writes 3
compressed entries; W4 path writes only 1 (the last). Decode then
reads stale zero entries from compressor_kv_cache → degenerate output.
This commit ships a stop-gap: when the packed batch carries exactly
one sequence (cu_seqlens_q.numel()==2), route to _forward_legacy with
positions[0] as start_pos. Single-seq is the bit-correct W3 baseline
already silicon-verified to produce coherent Chinese under FP4 routing.
Silicon evidence (W4=1, conc=1, FP4 CSV):
- pre-fix: token-7795 single-token collapse
- post-helper-fix: token 7242/1613 two-token alternation (helper
bug fixed but compressor bug exposed)
- post-this-fix: "元龙高吾原来世上世上名叫Adam,乃其父之名为
安知公之名为千平子..." — coherent text
Multi-seq batches still use _forward_w4 (untouched) pending Sprint 4
which must rewrite Compressor._forward_w4's prefill loop to emit on
every block boundary, not just the last token.

W4.5) Closes Sprint 4 Bugs 2+3 (Bug 1 already fixed in 3468abd): Bug 2 — Compressor._forward_w4 multi-seq block emit: - Per-token block-boundary loop emits one compressed entry at every (positions[t]+1) % ratio == 0 instead of only the seq's last token. A 12-token prefill (ratio=4) now writes 3 entries to kv_cache instead of 1, eliminating stale-zero reads during decode. - Fast path: when the seq's full window is in the current batch (seq_pos_start <= win_start_pos), pool from raw kv/score tensors and chain consecutive boundaries via slot_prev_kv to feed each window's overlap half from the previous boundary's data — matching legacy overlap_transform's cross-block normal-half + current-block overlap-half semantics. - Slow path: partial window (decode-style) reads kv_state[slot, :ratio] for the previous overlap half, with roll for the next call. - Persists overlap-half to kv_state[slot, :ratio] each boundary so subsequent decode calls see the correct prior window. Bug 3 — Scheduler -> ModelRunner finish-pipeline (cross-process): - Scheduler._emit_finish appends seq_id to _pending_finish_ids; each schedule() call drains the list into ScheduledBatch.finished_seq_ids. - ModelRunner.run_model calls dsv4_pool.finish_request(sid) for each finished_seq_ids entry before admitting the new batch — frees pool slots even when the pool lives in the ModelRunner child process while the scheduler runs in the EngineCore parent (where register_finish listeners are no-ops across the ZMQ boundary). - Eliminates the "no free slot (max_active_seqs=1)" RuntimeError that blocked sequential lm_eval from completing more than the first request.

…W4.5) Root cause for 51pp gsm8k gap identified: ATOM's Mxfp4MoEMethod process_weights_after_loading falls into the else branch for DSV4-Pro (activation=Silu) and applies CK-layout shuffles (shuffle_weights + e8m0_shuffle), but the dispatcher routes to FlyDSL FP4 kernels which explicitly require a16w4-layout shuffles per moe_kernels.py:583-584. The kernel reads weights/scales at wrong tile positions — no crash but every per-block scale and weight nibble is mis-mapped. Compounding across 61 layers x 6 routed experts produces severe accuracy loss. Secondary issue: at M=1 stage1 routes to FlyDSL but stage2 routes to CK moe_ck2stages — same w2_weight tensor with conflicting layout requirements. Three fix options documented ordered by blast radius. Recommendation: surgical fix (extend activation==Swiglu condition to include per_1x32 on gfx95) as a one-day silicon test first.

…ERLEAVED (#37) v5 surgical fix (extend Swiglu condition to per_1x32+gfx95) applied to Mxfp4MoEMethod was a complete regression: 0.45 -> 0.00 / 0.00, 7x slower. Root cause: SwiGLU branch's permute(0,2,1,3) interleave assumes weight layout is INTERLEAVED (g0,u0,g1,u1,...). DSV4-Pro is STACKED (gate rows first, then up rows) per standard FusedMoE shard loader. Applying SwiGLU's permute to STACKED input scrambles weights across experts. Reverted moe.py:856 to original Swiglu-only condition.

DeepSeek V4 paper §2.3.4 requires the lightning indexer to operate in FP4 precision. ATOM's model already calls `fp4_act_quant_inplace` on the indexer KV before the cache write (deepseek_v4.py:1119), but the pool slab was allocated with `cfg.dtype` (typically bfloat16 from `kv_cache_dtype`), causing the FP4-quantized values to be silently re-cast wider on storage at deepseek_v4.py:1125. The Sprint-1/2 layout worked numerically but lost the FP4 magnitude granularity per write. Phase B0a is a non-invasive opt-in fix: - New `DSV4KVPoolConfig.indexer_dtype` field, default None preserves Sprint-1/2 behavior. When set (typically `torch.float8_e4m3fn` as the closest practical FP4 proxy — torch lacks float4 cache writes), the indexer slab is allocated in that dtype, preserving the FP4 magnitude granularity through storage. - New env var ATOM_DSV4_INDEXER_FP8 (default 0). When 1, ModelRunner passes `indexer_dtype=fp8_e4m3fn` to the pool config. No model code change required — the existing `kv_seq.to(self.kv_cache.dtype)` cast at deepseek_v4.py:1125 now lands in fp8 instead of bf16. - 8 new unit tests in tests/test_dsv4_pool_indexer_dtype.py covering default backward compat, opt-in correctness, no-c4-layers safety, multi-dtype acceptance, and field default. - All 23 existing tests/test_dsv4_pool.py tests still pass.

…it (#37) DeepSeek V4 paper §2.3.4 specifies non-uniform main KV quantization: BF16 for the last `qk_rope_head_dim=64` dims (RoPE), FP8 for the first `qk_nope_head_dim=448` dims. ATOM's Sprint-1/2 pool stored all 512 dims in a single uniform-dtype slab (Phase A4 audit Bug A4.1). B0b.1 is the pool-side half — opt-in via new `main_kv_nope_dtype` field: - When None (default), legacy single `_main_kv` slab is allocated as before. Sprint-1/2 behavior preserved bit-for-bit. - When set (typically `torch.float8_e4m3fn`), pool allocates TWO physical slabs: `_main_kv_nope` at the requested narrow dtype + `_main_kv_rope` at `cfg.dtype` (BF16). The legacy `_main_kv` is left None to surface any accidental direct access. - `view_for_layer` materializes a BF16 concat for the `kv_cache` key (concat-on-read), so existing readers (sparse_attn etc.) see the same shape/dtype regardless of split mode. New `kv_cache_split` key carries a 2-tuple `(nope_view, rope_view)` for zero-copy split-aware writers. - Asserts `nope_dim > 0` to fail loudly on misconfigured head dims. 11 new unit tests (memory savings, dtype invariants, zero-copy split writes, concat-on-read correctness, no-c4-layers safety, default-None backward compat, misconfig assertion). All 23 legacy + 8 indexer tests pass unchanged: 42 total pool tests green. This commit is purely additive — no model code change, no env var wiring yet.

…e scatter (#37) Add `DSV4KVPool.write_main_kv(layer_id, out_cache_loc, kv)` that centralizes the layout-aware scatter logic. The model's W4 forward path will migrate from manual `kv_flat[out_cache_loc] = kv_tok.to(...)` to this helper in B0b.3, making the model layout-agnostic. Behavior: - split-off (Sprint-1/2): writes to single `_main_kv` slab with cast to slab dtype (matches existing model write at deepseek_v4.py:1966). - split-on (B0b.1+): splits kv into nope[..., :-rd] + rope[..., -rd:], scatters each into its own slab. The same flat-scatter indices apply to both since they share the [N, ring_main] layout. 5 new unit tests covering: split-off roundtrip, split-on RoPE bit-exact, split-on nope FP8 within tolerance, empty-batch noop, invalid layer_id. All 47 pool tests pass (23 legacy + 8 indexer + 16 split). This commit is still purely additive — no model code change yet. B0b.3 wires the W4 path to use this helper. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Migrate the W4 forward path's manual scatter at deepseek_v4.py:1946-1966 from inline `kv_flat[out_cache_loc] = kv_tok.to(kv_flat.dtype)` to `forward_batch.kv_pool.write_main_kv(layer_id, out_cache_loc, kv_tok)`. The diagnostic OOB guard (silicon HSA 0x1016 trace from Sprint 4) is preserved at the Python boundary — we still compute _max_loc/_min_loc against n_slots*ring_main BEFORE delegating, so any OOB raises a rich ValueError with positions/cu_seqlens_q/layer_id context. Behavior unchanged in split-off mode (default): pool helper does the same `kv_flat[out_cache_loc] = kv.to(slab.dtype)` we used to do inline. In split-on mode (B0b.5 wires the env var), the helper splits per-token KV into nope+rope and scatters into respective slabs per paper §2.3.4. 96/96 DSV4 tests pass (pool + indexer + split + forward_batch + multireq guard + lifecycle). No regression. The legacy path remains bit-identical. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ng (#37) Wire the B0b.1+2+3 stack to a runtime opt-in flag: - New `ATOM_DSV4_KV_SPLIT_DTYPES` env var (default 0). - When 1, model_runner passes `main_kv_nope_dtype=torch.float8_e4m3fn` to DSV4KVPoolConfig, activating the pool's dual-slab allocation + the model's split-aware write path (already migrated in B0b.3). - Reads stay concat-on-read in BF16 so sparse_attn / downstream consumers see the same shape/dtype regardless of split mode. Default-off keeps Sprint-1/2 behavior bit-identical. Production recipes can set the env var (along with ATOM_DSV4_INDEXER_FP8 from B0a) to enable both halves of the paper §2.3.4 non-uniform quant. 96/96 DSV4 tests pass — no behavior change unless flag set.

Production recipe recommends only B0a (ATOM_DSV4_INDEXER_FP8=1). Most likely interpretations of B0b null result: 1. Indexer FP4 storage (B0a) was the dominant precision loss; main KV nope FP8 storage was secondary. 2. The materialization concat-on-read in view_for_layer upcasts FP8 nope to BF16 every call, erasing the storage benefit. 3. Remaining 21pp gap (0.75 vs SGLang 0.96) is Triton MoE kernel precision, eval-config diff, or sample-size noise — not RoPE. Sprint 6 net win: +15pp gsm8k 5-shot via 1-env-var change. Cumulative since Sprint 4: +30pp flexible, +75pp strict, gap to SGLang reduced from 51pp to 21pp. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
) Sprint 6 silicon-validated +15pp gsm8k 5-shot delta from a single env var change (ATOM_DSV4_INDEXER_FP8=1, paper §2.3.4 Indexer FP4 storage). Update production recipe to recommend BOTH ATOM_USE_TRITON_MOE=1 and ATOM_DSV4_INDEXER_FP8=1 — together they close 30pp of the gap vs the all-defaults config. Updated accuracy table: - All defaults: 0.45 / 0.00 (51pp gap) - Triton only (Sprint 5e): 0.60 / 0.60 (36pp gap) - Triton + Indexer FP8 (Sprint 6): 0.75 / 0.75 (21pp gap) - SGLang B300 ref: 0.96 / 0.96 Document ATOM_DSV4_KV_SPLIT_DTYPES as available but NOT recommended (B0b silicon-rejected — code stays in branch behind opt-in flag for future Sprint 7 revisit if needed). Remaining 21pp gap noted as Sprint 7 follow-up. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Summary
Closes the W4.5 functionality from #37 across Sprints 4 / 5 / 6:
Sprint 4 (commit
8fa0129series) — W4 multi-request KV cache infra: per-token block-boundary compress emission inCompressor._forward_w4, scheduler→pool finish-pipeline crossing the EngineCore↔ModelRunner ZMQ boundary. Multi-seq decode no longer collapses to single-token attractor.Sprint 5e (commit
d9ce828+bc63984) — Triton MoE backend recommendation: the default CK + FlyDSL fused MoE backend has known layout-dispatch bugs on gfx950 (RCA in Evidence M Sprint 5b/5c —is_shuffledattr stripping + STACKED vs INTERLEAVED layout). The Triton path (ATOM_USE_TRITON_MOE=1) bypasses it via_swizzle_mxfp4+triton_kernels.matmul_ogs.Sprint 6 B0a (commit
a8e3a02) — Indexer FP8 cache storage per DSV4 paper §2.3.4. ATOM's model already callsfp4_act_quant_inplaceon the indexer KV but the pool slab was allocated with the broaderkv_cache_dtype, silently re-casting wider on storage. NewATOM_DSV4_INDEXER_FP8=1flag allocates the indexer slab infloat8_e4m3fn(FP4 proxy) preserving FP4 magnitude granularity. +15pp silicon-validated.Sprint 6 B0b (commits
7981de8/4f41026/12ab1bc/9db2c32) — Main KV nope/rope split per paper §2.3.4 (5 sub-commits including pool dual-slab, write helper, model migration, env var). Silicon-rejected — no measurable benefit beyond B0a. Code stays in branch behind opt-inATOM_DSV4_KV_SPLIT_DTYPES=1flag (default off) for potential future Sprint 7 revisit.gsm8k W4 limit=20 (silicon, MI355X 8×TP=8, max-num-seqs=1)
Sprint 6 net: +15pp on both filters from a single env var. Cumulative since Sprint 4: +30pp flex / +75pp strict / -30pp gap closed.
