This enables the Triton path to be used as a drop-in replacement for hipBLASLt with FP8 quantized tensors. Key changes: 1. Float8TensorWrapper class - Mimics C++ TensorWrapper behavior from makeTransformerEngineTensor - Extracts FP8 components: _data, _transpose, _scale_inv, _fp8_dtype - Handles both Float8Tensor and Float8TensorBase - Properly converts columnwise-only tensors to rowwise format - Uses permute() to reorder dimensions: [K,M,*batch] -> [*batch,M,K] 2. Updated te_generic_gemm_triton() - Detects and extracts Float8Tensor components - Reinterprets uint8 data as native FP8 types (float8_e4m3fnuz/e5m2fnuz) - Passes extracted scales and dtypes to te_gemm_triton() - Maintains backward compatibility with regular tensors 3. Fixed getGemmOutputShape() - Now exactly matches C++ backend implementation - Preserves B's batch structure (except when transb=True) - Added comprehensive documentation explaining the API design choice - Correctly handles all layouts: TN, NN, NT 4. Columnwise tensor handling - Detects memory-optimized columnwise-only tensors - Correctly transposes with dimension reordering for batch support - Handles arbitrary batch dimensions in columnwise format --- tests/pytorch/test_gemm_triton_generic_fp8.py | 220 +++++++++++ transformer_engine/pytorch/gemm_triton.py | 371 ++++++++++++++---- 2 files changed, 521 insertions(+), 70 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/pytorch/test_gemm_triton_generic_fp8.py diff --git a/tests/pytorch/test_gemm_triton_generic_fp8.py b/tests/pytorch/test_gemm_triton_generic_fp8.py new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..860f64ef62 --- /dev/null +++ b/tests/pytorch/test_gemm_triton_generic_fp8.py @@ -0,0 +1,220 @@ +# Copyright (c) 2024, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Key components: - MXFP8TensorWrapper: Python equivalent of C++ TensorWrapper that extracts rowwise/columnwise data and E8M0 scales from MXFP8Tensor - mxfp8_matmul_kernel(): Triton kernel using tl.dot_scaled() for block-scaled matmul with E8M0 scale conversion (2^(biased_exp - 127)) - mxfp8_matmul(): Python wrapper for MXFP8 kernel launch - Updated te_generic_gemm_triton() to detect and dispatch MXFP8 inputs Implementation verified against C++ codebase (type_converters.cpp, cublaslt_gemm.cu, utils.cuh) for consistency with MXFP8 data/scale selection logic and E8M0 conversion formulas. Note: MXFP8 cannot be transposed after quantization without requantization, hence dual storage (rowwise + columnwise) is required. This implementation keeps MXFP8 kernel separate from regular FP8 for independent autotuning. --- transformer_engine/pytorch/gemm_triton.py | 429 +++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 410 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-) diff --git a/transformer_engine/pytorch/gemm_triton.py b/transformer_engine/pytorch/gemm_triton.py index 2f83d97076..ce73f5940e 100644 --- a/transformer_engine/pytorch/gemm_triton.py +++ b/transformer_engine/pytorch/gemm_triton.py @@ -6,6 +6,7 @@ import torch import transformer_engine_torch as tex +from transformer_engine.pytorch.constants import MXFP8_BLOCK_SCALING_SIZE import triton import triton.language as tl @@ -274,6 +275,152 @@ def get_data_for_gemm(self, will_transpose): return self._columnwise_data.transpose(0, 1).contiguous() +class MXFP8TensorWrapper: + """ + Python equivalent of C++ TensorWrapper for MXFP8Tensor. + + Mimics NVTETensorFromMXFP8Tensor in type_converters.cpp, extracting + both rowwise and columnwise data/scales. + """ + + def __init__(self, tensor): + """ + Create wrapper from MXFP8Tensor or MXFP8TensorBase. + + Args: + tensor: Input tensor (MXFP8Tensor, MXFP8TensorBase, or regular tensor) + """ + # Import here to avoid circular dependency + try: + from transformer_engine.pytorch.tensor.mxfp8_tensor import MXFP8Tensor + from transformer_engine.pytorch.tensor._internal.mxfp8_tensor_base import MXFP8TensorBase + is_mxfp8_tensor = isinstance(tensor, (MXFP8Tensor, MXFP8TensorBase)) + except ImportError: + is_mxfp8_tensor = False + + if is_mxfp8_tensor: + # Extract MXFP8 components (matching NVTETensorFromMXFP8Tensor) + self._is_mxfp8 = True + + # Rowwise data and scales + self._rowwise_data = tensor._rowwise_data if hasattr(tensor, '_rowwise_data') and tensor._rowwise_data is not None else None + self._rowwise_scale_inv = tensor._rowwise_scale_inv if hasattr(tensor, '_rowwise_scale_inv') and tensor._rowwise_scale_inv is not None else None + + # Columnwise data and scales + self._columnwise_data = tensor._columnwise_data if hasattr(tensor, '_columnwise_data') and tensor._columnwise_data is not None else None + self._columnwise_scale_inv = tensor._columnwise_scale_inv if hasattr(tensor, '_columnwise_scale_inv') and tensor._columnwise_scale_inv is not None else None + + # Verify we have at least one format + if self._rowwise_data is None and self._columnwise_data is None: + raise RuntimeError( + "MXFP8Tensor has neither rowwise nor columnwise data" + ) + + # FP8 metadata + self._fp8_dtype = tensor._fp8_dtype + self._nominal_dtype = tensor.dtype if hasattr(tensor, 'dtype') else torch.float32 + + # Determine logical size from available data + if self._rowwise_data is not None: + self._size = self._rowwise_data.size() + else: + # Convert columnwise shape to rowwise: [K,M,*batch] -> [*batch,M,K] + ndim = self._columnwise_data.dim() + if ndim == 2: + self._size = torch.Size([self._columnwise_data.size(1), self._columnwise_data.size(0)]) + else: + # Has batch dims at end, need to move to front and swap matrix dims + batch_dims = list(self._columnwise_data.size()[2:]) + m_dim = self._columnwise_data.size(1) + k_dim = self._columnwise_data.size(0) + self._size = torch.Size(batch_dims + [m_dim, k_dim]) + else: + # Not MXFP8 - wrap as regular tensor + self._is_mxfp8 = False + self._rowwise_data = tensor + self._columnwise_data = None + self._rowwise_scale_inv = None + self._columnwise_scale_inv = None + self._fp8_dtype = None + self._nominal_dtype = tensor.dtype + self._size = tensor.size() + + def size(self): + """Get logical tensor size (in rowwise format).""" + return self._size + + @property + def is_mxfp8(self): + """Check if this is an MXFP8 tensor.""" + return self._is_mxfp8 + + @property + def fp8_dtype(self): + """Get FP8 dtype.""" + return self._fp8_dtype + + @property + def nominal_dtype(self): + """Get nominal dtype (what the MXFP8 tensor represents).""" + return self._nominal_dtype + + def get_data_and_scale_for_gemm(self, will_transpose): + """ + Get appropriate data and scale tensors for GEMM based on transpose flag. + + Matches C++ logic in cublaslt_gemm.cu:128-200 for MXFP8 scaling mode. + Returns data in rowwise orientation for Triton (row-major). + + Args: + will_transpose: Whether this operand will be transposed in GEMM + + Returns: + tuple: (data_tensor, scale_inv_tensor) both in rowwise orientation + """ + if not self._is_mxfp8: + # Regular tensor - no scales + return self._rowwise_data, None + + # MXFP8 selection logic (matching C++ cublaslt_gemm.cu:128-141 for A, 187-200 for B) + # For operand A: transposed ? rowwise : columnwise + # For operand B: transposed ? columnwise : rowwise + # + # However, we need to determine which operand we are (A or B). + # The caller knows this context.

Key changes: 1. Follow C++ selection logic for choosing rowwise/columnwise formats based on BLAS transpose flags 2. Implement operand swapping for row-major conversion (same as FP8) 3. Apply logical transpose (views) to both data and scales when needed 4. Remove scale padding handling (to be fixed in later update) The implementation now correctly handles all three GEMM operations: - fprop: Y = X @ W^T (TN layout) - dgrad: dX = dY @ W (NN layout) - wgrad: dW = dY^T @ X (NT layout) Critical insight: MXFP8 columnwise is NOT physically transposed - it has the same shape as rowwise but with different quantization patterns.

The wrapper was incorrectly applying transpose logic when determining tensor size from columnwise-only data, causing shape mismatches in wgrad operations. This fix ensures that when only columnwise MXFP8 data is available, the wrapper correctly reports the tensor size as the columnwise shape without any transformation. --- MXFP8_TRITON_FINDINGS.md | 118

explains the numerical accuracy issues. The MXFP8 "columnwise" data is **NOT** transposed - it has the same shape as rowwise but with different quantization patterns. This makes it incompatible with Triton's `tl.dot_scaled` for transpose cases. + +## Key Discovery + +### What We Expected (From Documentation) +- Rowwise: `[M, K]` with scales `[M, K//32]` +- Columnwise: `[K, M]` (transposed) with scales `[K, M//32]` + +### What Actually Exists +- Rowwise: `[M, K]` with scales `[M, K//32]` (blocks along K) +- Columnwise: `[M, K]` (SAME shape!) with scales `[M//32, K]` (blocks along M) + +Both have the **same shape** but **different quantization patterns**. + +## The Fundamental Problem + +### C++ BLAS Approach +1.

BLAS handles the actual transpose during GEMM computation + +### Triton Limitation +1. `tl.dot_scaled` doesn't support transpose flags +2. Expects data already in the correct shape with matching scale patterns +3. Cannot transpose MXFP8 after quantization (would need requantization) + +## Working Solution: NN Layout Only + +Currently, we can only support NN layout (no transposes): + +```python +# For NN layout: C = A @ B +# A: [M, K] → use rowwise (scales [M, K//32]) +# B: [K, N] → use columnwise (scales [K//32, N]) + +if transa or transb: + raise NotImplementedError( + "MXFP8 with transpose not yet supported in Triton backend" + ) + +A_data = A_mxfp8._rowwise_data +a_scale_inv = A_mxfp8._rowwise_scale_inv +B_data = B_mxfp8._columnwise_data +b_scale_inv = B_mxfp8._columnwise_scale_inv +``` + +## Test Results + +### Supported Case +- **NN layout**: ✓ Works correctly + - A uses rowwise: `[128, 256]` with scales `[128, 8]` + - B uses columnwise: `[256, 128]` with scales `[8, 128]` + - Scale patterns match `tl.dot_scaled` requirements + +### Unsupported Cases +- **TN layout** (fprop): ✗ Cannot support + - Would need W^T pre-quantized in rowwise format +- **NT layout** (wgrad): ✗ Cannot support + - Would need B^T pre-quantized in columnwise format +- **TT layout**: ✗ Cannot support + - Would need both operands pre-transposed + +## Why This Matters + +The three main GEMM operations in neural networks are: +1. **Forward pass (fprop)**: `Y = X @ W^T` (TN layout) - **Cannot support** +2. **Backward dgrad**: `dX = dY @ W` (NN layout) - **Can support** +3. **Backward wgrad**: `dW = dY^T @ X` (NT layout) - **Cannot support** + +This severely limits the usefulness of the current implementation. + +## Potential Solutions + +### 1. Pre-transpose During Quantization (Recommended) +Modify MXFP8Tensor to support transpose during quantization: +```python +# Pseudo-code +W_mxfp8 = quantizer.quantize(W, store_transpose=True) +# Would store both W and W^T quantized versions +``` + +### 2.

This is a fundamental limitation that requires architectural changes to fully resolve. The C++ BLAS backend doesn't have this issue because BLAS can handle transposes during computation, while Triton's `tl.dot_scaled` cannot. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/analyze_triton_needs.py b/analyze_triton_needs.py new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..d04cbc3934 --- /dev/null +++ b/analyze_triton_needs.py @@ -0,0 +1,104 @@ +""" +Analyze what Triton needs for MXFP8 GEMM given the new understanding. +""" + +def analyze_triton_needs(): + print("=" * 80) + print("TRITON MXFP8 NEEDS ANALYSIS") + print("=" * 80) + + print("\nKEY FACT: MXFP8 columnwise is NOT transposed!") + print("- Rowwise: [M, K] with scales [M, K//32] - blocks along K dimension") + print("- Columnwise: [M, K] with scales [M//32, K] - blocks along M dimension") + + print("\n" + "=" * 80) + print("tl.dot_scaled Requirements:") + print("=" * 80) + + print("\nFor C = A @ B in row-major:") + print("- A: [M, K] with scales [M, K//32] (blocks along K)") + print("- B: [K, N] with scales [K//32, N] (blocks along N)") + print("- The reduction happens along K dimension") + print("- Both operands need blocks along the K dimension") + + print("\n" + "=" * 80) + print("GEMM Cases Analysis:") + print("=" * 80) + + cases = [ + ("NN", False, False, "[M, K]", "[K, N]"), + ("NT", False, True, "[M, K]", "[N, K] → [K, N]"), + ("TN", True, False, "[K, M] → [M, K]", "[K, N]"), + ("TT", True, True, "[K, M] → [M, K]", "[N, K] → [K, N]"), + ] + + for layout, transa, transb, a_shape, b_shape in cases: + print(f"\n{layout} Layout (transA={transa}, transB={transb}):") + print(f" A: {a_shape}") + print(f" B: {b_shape}") + + # For A: needs [M, K] with scales [M, K//32] + if transa: + print(f" A selection: Need transpose from [K, M] to [M, K]") + print(f" - Rowwise: [K, M] with scales [K, M//32] ✗ Wrong shape") + print(f" - Columnwise: [K, M] with scales [K//32, M] ✗ Wrong shape") + print(f" - Neither works directly!

issues. The MXFP8 "columnwise" data is **NOT** transposed - it has the same shape as rowwise but with different quantization patterns. This makes it incompatible with Triton's `tl.dot_scaled` for transpose cases. - -## Key Discovery - -### What We Expected (From Documentation) -- Rowwise: `[M, K]` with scales `[M, K//32]` -- Columnwise: `[K, M]` (transposed) with scales `[K, M//32]` - -### What Actually Exists -- Rowwise: `[M, K]` with scales `[M, K//32]` (blocks along K) -- Columnwise: `[M, K]` (SAME shape!) with scales `[M//32, K]` (blocks along M) - -Both have the **same shape** but **different quantization patterns**. - -## The Fundamental Problem - -### C++ BLAS Approach -1. Selects appropriate quantization pattern (rowwise/columnwise) -2. Passes transpose flag to BLAS -3. BLAS handles the actual transpose during GEMM computation - -### Triton Limitation -1. `tl.dot_scaled` doesn't support transpose flags -2. Expects data already in the correct shape with matching scale patterns -3. Cannot transpose MXFP8 after quantization (would need requantization) - -## Working Solution: NN Layout Only - -Currently, we can only support NN layout (no transposes): - -```python -# For NN layout: C = A @ B -# A: [M, K] → use rowwise (scales [M, K//32]) -# B: [K, N] → use columnwise (scales [K//32, N]) - -if transa or transb: - raise NotImplementedError( - "MXFP8 with transpose not yet supported in Triton backend" - ) - -A_data = A_mxfp8._rowwise_data -a_scale_inv = A_mxfp8._rowwise_scale_inv -B_data = B_mxfp8._columnwise_data -b_scale_inv = B_mxfp8._columnwise_scale_inv -``` - -## Test Results - -### Supported Case -- **NN layout**: ✓ Works correctly - - A uses rowwise: `[128, 256]` with scales `[128, 8]` - - B uses columnwise: `[256, 128]` with scales `[8, 128]` - - Scale patterns match `tl.dot_scaled` requirements - -### Unsupported Cases -- **TN layout** (fprop): ✗ Cannot support - - Would need W^T pre-quantized in rowwise format -- **NT layout** (wgrad): ✗ Cannot support - - Would need B^T pre-quantized in columnwise format -- **TT layout**: ✗ Cannot support - - Would need both operands pre-transposed - -## Why This Matters - -The three main GEMM operations in neural networks are: -1. **Forward pass (fprop)**: `Y = X @ W^T` (TN layout) - **Cannot support** -2. **Backward dgrad**: `dX = dY @ W` (NN layout) - **Can support** -3. **Backward wgrad**: `dW = dY^T @ X` (NT layout) - **Cannot support** - -This severely limits the usefulness of the current implementation. - -## Potential Solutions - -### 1. Pre-transpose During Quantization (Recommended) -Modify MXFP8Tensor to support transpose during quantization: -```python -# Pseudo-code -W_mxfp8 = quantizer.quantize(W, store_transpose=True) -# Would store both W and W^T quantized versions -``` - -### 2. Custom Triton Kernel -Implement a kernel that handles transpose internally rather than using `tl.dot_scaled`. - -### 3. Hybrid Storage -- Weights: Store both original and transposed versions -- Activations: Quantize dynamically as needed -- Trade-off: 2x memory for weights - -### 4. Accept Limited Support -Only support specific operations that don't require transpose. - -## Files Modified - -1. **transformer_engine/pytorch/gemm_triton.py** - - Added MXFP8TensorWrapper class - - Updated selection logic to understand non-transposed columnwise - - Added NotImplementedError for transpose cases - -2. **Documentation Created** - - `mxfp8_rowwise_columnwise_analysis.md`: Comprehensive analysis - - `fprop_triton_analysis.md`: Forward pass specific analysis - - `solution_approach.md`: Solution options - - This file: Summary of findings - -## Next Steps - -1. **Immediate**: Document the limitation clearly in code and docs -2. **Short-term**: Investigate pre-transpose during quantization -3. **Long-term**: Consider custom Triton kernel for full support - -## Conclusion - -The MXFP8 Triton implementation currently only supports NN layout due to the discovery that columnwise data is not actually transposed. This is a fundamental limitation that requires architectural changes to fully resolve.

As a result TE Linear with bias=True on NVTE_USE_GEMM_TRITON=1 silently skipped the forward BIAS fuse and zeroed the returned bias gradient (tripping test_numerics.py's test_linear_accuracy when the bias parameter was non-zero, and masked by zero-init for the trivial case). Wire epilogue from (bias, grad): BIAS when bias is present and grad is False, BGRADB when grad is True (allocating a fresh gradient buffer so we don't clobber the forward bias). The low-level te_gemm_triton path already handled this correctly; only te_generic_gemm_triton needed the fix. Add regression-guard tests in test_te_generic_gemm_triton.py covering both BIAS (forward) and BGRADB (backward, matching Linear wgrad's NT layout).

An alternative would be to fix pytest_run to prefix every path arg, but that's a broader change in shared CI infra and this hits only one line here. --- ci/pytorch.sh | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/ci/pytorch.sh b/ci/pytorch.sh index 0b681e8a76..15b5ac2a74 100755 --- a/ci/pytorch.sh +++ b/ci/pytorch.sh @@ -61,7 +61,8 @@ run_test_config(){ NVTE_USE_GEMM_TRITON=1 run_default_fa_lbl "triton" 1 test_gemm_triton.py NVTE_USE_GEMM_TRITON=1 run_default_fa_lbl "triton" 1 test_gemm_triton_generic_fp8.py NVTE_USE_GEMM_TRITON=1 run_default_fa_lbl "triton" 1 test_te_generic_gemm_triton.py - NVTE_USE_GEMM_TRITON=1 NVTE_ROCM_ENABLE_MXFP8=1 run_default_fa_lbl "triton" 1 mxfp8/test_mxfp8_gemm_basic.py mxfp8/test_mxfp8_kernel_direct.py + NVTE_USE_GEMM_TRITON=1 NVTE_ROCM_ENABLE_MXFP8=1 run_default_fa_lbl "triton" 1 mxfp8/test_mxfp8_gemm_basic.py + NVTE_USE_GEMM_TRITON=1 NVTE_ROCM_ENABLE_MXFP8=1 run_default_fa_lbl "triton" 1 mxfp8/test_mxfp8_kernel_direct.py run 1 test_gqa.py run 1 test_jit.py NVTE_ROCM_ENABLE_MXFP8=1 run_default_fa 1 test_multi_tensor.py From 4695d4bdeb74e8265ac155353ed6fbf9cbd20bfb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wen Chen Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 20:11:45 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 20/37] Triton GEMM: promote M/N pointer offsets to int64 to fix >2^31 addressing MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit matmul_kernel and mxfp8_matmul_kernel compute pointer offsets as ptrs = base + offs_m[:, None] * stride_m + offs_k[None, :] * stride_k Triton's default int32 arithmetic overflows silently when the product (M-1) * stride exceeds 2^31, producing garbage pointers and — during autotune benchmarking — HIP faults that surface as SIGABRT. Concrete repro: test_float8_current_scaling_exact.py::TestFP8CurrentScalingLargeNumel:: test_fp8_current_scaling_linear_large_numel_e4m3[bs33-fp32] M=143616, K=15360 -> (M-1)*K = 2,205,926,400 > 2^31 = 2,147,483,648. Suite ran as F...F. then aborted the pytest process during the Triton autotune of a benchmark launch. bs32 (M=139264, (M-1)*K = 2,139,095,040) sits just under 2^31 and passes; bs33 tips over. The docstring on the test itself flags this class of bug: "Regression for 32-bit numel overflow when total elements > 2^31." Fix: cast the M-dim and N-dim offset tensors to tl.int64 exactly at the pointer-computation sites -- a_ptrs, b_ptrs, c_ptrs, and (mxfp8 kernel) a_scale_ptrs and b_scale_ptrs. K-dim offsets stay int32 (bounded by BLOCK_SIZE_K). Mask comparisons (offs_m < M, offs_n < N) also stay int32 so the per-tile bounds check is not slowed. After the fix: full test_float8_current_scaling_exact.py completes end-to-end (12.4s, 5 passed / 2 failed -- the two remaining failures are the separate HYBRID-recipe gate, not related to this bug).

Under NVTE_USE_GEMM_TRITON=1 the runtime gate in transformer_engine/pytorch/quantization.py:184 raises ValueError because HYBRID's backward pass produces mixed FP8 (e5m2 x e4m3) GEMMs, which trigger triton-lang/triton#9567. The fix lives only on Triton main; no released PyTorch through 2.13 carries it, and PyTorch 2.14.0.dev nightlies from 2026-06-26 are the first wheels that do. Add _skip_if_hybrid_under_gemm_triton(*recipes) and call it at the top of the two affected tests. The helper inspects the *resolved* recipe's fp8_format rather than hard-coding which parametrization uses HYBRID, so it is robust to future defaults and can be reused for other tests without duplication. The skip is unconditional on NVTE_USE_GEMM_TRITON + HYBRID (not gated on torch_version() >= (2, 14)) because the quantization.py gate itself is unconditional. Both places should relax together after torch 2.14 validates. Before: 4 passed, 2 failed, 1 SIGABRT (test 7 crashed the process, masking test 6's result). After int64 fix (previous commit): 5 passed, 2 failed. After this commit: 5 passed, 2 skipped.

Every other QuantizedTensorStorage subclass (NVFP4TensorStorage, stray MXFP8TensorStorage arriving via this path, future formats) silently fell through to the "regular tensor" branch and crashed on `tensor.dtype` because QuantizedTensorStorage exposes `_dtype`, not `dtype`. Surfaced in test_numerics.py as AttributeError: 'NVFP4TensorStorage' object has no attribute 'dtype' for 176 parametrizations. Refuse those inputs before the fallback with a ValueError that matches the phrasing of the existing HYBRID / mixed-FP8 gates ("The Triton GEMM backend (NVTE_USE_GEMM_TRITON=1) does not support ..."). Import-guard the QuantizedTensorStorage import so older callers without the class still work. 2) tests/pytorch/conftest.py (new) Register a pytest_runtest_call hookwrapper that inspects test exceptions. If the raised ValueError message contains one of the three known Triton GEMM backend refusal markers -- Format.HYBRID (quantization.py::check_recipe_support), "Mixed FP8 types" (gemm_triton.py::te_gemm_triton), or the generic NVTE_USE_GEMM_TRITON refusal from Float8TensorWrapper -- convert to pytest.skip via outcome.force_exception(). Real assertion failures, crashes, and any ValueError without the marker text pass through untouched. The hook is self-retiring: once the runtime gates are relaxed (torch >= 2.14 with the Triton mixed-MFMA fix, NVFP4 kernel implemented, ...) the matching messages disappear from the ValueError text and the hook stops firing on its own -- no coordination with tests required. Impact on the CI "gemm-triton" sweep (before -> after, this branch): test_grouped_linear_accuracy: 1056 failed -> 160 failed (896 HYBRID/NVFP4 refusals now surface as skips) Direct Triton GEMM suites (no regression): test_gemm_triton.py 450 pass / 606 skip test_gemm_triton_generic_fp8.py 21 pass test_te_generic_gemm_triton.py 210 pass / 72 skip mxfp8/ 4 pass test_float8_current_scaling_exact 5 pass / 2 skip The 160 remaining test_grouped_linear_accuracy failures are the grouped-vs-sequential tolerance mismatches (test-design issue, category 3 in the earlier analysis) -- addressed separately. --- tests/pytorch/conftest.py | 51 +++++++++++++++++++++++ transformer_engine/pytorch/gemm_triton.py | 22 ++++++++++ 2 files changed, 73 insertions(+) create mode 100644 tests/pytorch/conftest.py diff --git a/tests/pytorch/conftest.py b/tests/pytorch/conftest.py new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..5db9b3ac3e --- /dev/null +++ b/tests/pytorch/conftest.py @@ -0,0 +1,51 @@ +# Copyright (c) 2026, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

The upstream code even comments this: "cuBLAS implementation should be bit-wise match" -- the assumption is that both sides go through the same GEMM backend. Under NVTE_USE_GEMM_TRITON=1 that assumption breaks by design: the "sequential" side (individual Linear/general_gemm calls) is redirected onto our Triton kernel while the "grouped" side is still hipBLASLt grouped (or CUTLASS grouped, or AITER Triton grouped). Two different implementations cannot match bit-exact; the AMD-added `use_triton` branch's fp32 tolerance (atol=2.6e-6, rtol=0.05) is also too tight for two different Triton kernels -- fp32 rounding overshoots it by ~5-16x on 4-19 elements out of 2.36M (measured on gfx950 / PyTorch 2.10). These tests were not written to validate our regular Triton backend, so we skip them under the override rather than loosen tolerances just to make them pass vacuously. The direct Triton GEMM test files (test_gemm_triton.py, test_gemm_triton_generic_fp8.py, test_te_generic_gemm_triton.py, mxfp8/) cover the correctness of the Triton kernel itself. Tests marked: - test_grouped_linear_accuracy - test_grouped_linear_accuracy_cutlass - test_grouped_linear_accuracy_save_original_input - test_grouped_linear_accuracy_single_gemm - test_padding_grouped_linear_accuracy - test_padding_grouped_linear_accuracy_save_original_input - test_grouped_gemm - test_fp8_grouped_gemm Not marked (different premise): - test_linear_accuracy_save_original_input compares two Linear layers differing only in the save_original_input flag; both sides use the same GEMM backend, so the equivalence premise still holds. Its failures (4 cases) point at a real behavior difference and are worth investigating separately. - test_fp8gemm_with_unfused_quantization compares fused vs. unfused quantization; also a distinct assertion. Sanity: with NVTE_USE_GEMM_TRITON=1, the three largest of the eight above (test_grouped_linear_accuracy, test_grouped_gemm, test_fp8_grouped_gemm) collect 1686 items -- all skipped, 0 failed, 2.7s.

Under NVTE_USE_GEMM_TRITON=1, callers that request fused FP8 output (e.g. quantization_params=Float8CurrentScalingQuantizer) then get a plain fp32 torch.Tensor back where general_gemm's other paths return a Float8Tensor. Downstream, `.dequantize()` on the fp32 tensor is a no-op, so the "compare fused vs post-quantize" invariant (test_fp8gemm_with_unfused_quantization) reduces to "raw fp32 GEMM output ~= that output quantized then dequantized" and fails at ~99.9% of elements with abs deltas at data scale (~0.73), not rounding scale. Wire it up minimally by applying the quantizer to D before returning. The FUSED path in matmul_kernel (OUTPUT_FP8 with c_scale + c_amax) is still not exercised through this wrapper -- that's a follow-up perf optimization, not a correctness fix. This makes the wrapper's output bit-identical to the "compute in fp32, then quantize" path that general_gemm's C++ path also produces, so both branches of test_fp8gemm_with_unfused_quantization now converge on the same Float8Tensor. Impact on test_numerics.py under NVTE_USE_GEMM_TRITON=1: 2 failed -> 0 failed test_fp8gemm_with_unfused_quantization[out_quantizer0-input_quantizer0-datatype{0,1}-32] now PASSED.

No behavior change; verified with a full test_numerics.py run (0 failed / 1058 passed / 2644 skipped / 28 xfailed) and the direct suites unchanged. 1) conftest.py: drop marker "does not support Format.HYBRID" -- it is already subsumed by "The Triton GEMM backend (NVTE_USE_GEMM_TRITON=1) does not support" (the HYBRID ValueError begins with that phrase). Halve the module docstring; the hook is 12 lines and does not need a 15-line preamble. 2) test_float8_current_scaling_exact.py: remove _skip_if_hybrid_under_gemm_triton and its two call-sites. The conftest hook catches the same quantization.py::check_recipe_support ValueError repo-wide, so the per-file helper is now dead code. Removes ~30 lines (helper + constant + two call-sites). 3) gemm_triton.py Float8TensorWrapper: shrink the NVFP4 refusal comment from 8 lines to 3. The point is the `_dtype` vs `dtype` mismatch on QuantizedTensorStorage; everything else was rationale that belongs in the commit message, not at the point of use. 4) gemm_triton.py: unify int64-promotion comments at the four secondary sites to `# int64 promotion (see matmul_kernel A/B).` The detailed rationale stays at matmul_kernel A/B; the C-ptr comment that said "M*N can exceed 2^31" was slightly misleading because the concrete overflow that triggered our SIGABRT was `offs_am * stride_am = M*K`, not M*N. --- tests/pytorch/conftest.py | 31 ++++++------------- .../test_float8_current_scaling_exact.py | 29 ----------------- transformer_engine/pytorch/gemm_triton.py | 18 ++++------- 3 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 62 deletions(-) diff --git a/tests/pytorch/conftest.py b/tests/pytorch/conftest.py index 5db9b3ac3e..6ba46ccdf4 100644 --- a/tests/pytorch/conftest.py +++ b/tests/pytorch/conftest.py @@ -2,35 +2,24 @@ # # See LICENSE for license information. -"""Shared pytest hooks for the PyTorch test suite. +"""Convert Triton GEMM backend refusals (HYBRID, mixed FP8, NVFP4, ...) +into pytest.skip so the CI sweep under NVTE_USE_GEMM_TRITON=1 does not +flag intentionally-unsupported combinations as failures. -Currently: convert known-issue Triton GEMM backend refusals into pytest.skip -so the CI sweep under NVTE_USE_GEMM_TRITON=1 does not flood with red on tests -that exercise recipes the backend intentionally does not implement (HYBRID, -mixed FP8, NVFP4, ...). - -The runtime gates that raise these ValueErrors live in -transformer_engine/pytorch/quantization.py and -transformer_engine/pytorch/gemm_triton.py.

Renames (via git mv, contents unchanged): - test_gemm_triton.py -> triton_kernels/test_gemm.py - test_gemm_triton_generic_fp8.py -> triton_kernels/test_gemm_fp8.py - test_te_generic_gemm_triton.py -> triton_kernels/test_gemm_generic.py Merge (two small files consolidated into one): - mxfp8/test_mxfp8_gemm_basic.py (82 lines) + mxfp8/test_mxfp8_kernel_direct.py (118 lines) -> triton_kernels/test_gemm_mxfp8.py (158 lines after de-duplicated imports and a shared torch_version() < (2, 10) module-level skip guard). The dev-owned files under tests/pytorch/mxfp8/ (README.md, mxfp8_utils.py, test_mxfp8_group_quantize_graph_safe.py, test_mxfp8_quantize_swizzle_fusion.py) are untouched -- they belong to the upstream MXFP8 quantize/swizzle work, not to our Triton GEMM backend. The standalone Triton compiler bug reproducer at triton_dot_scaled_rhs_scale_bug.py lives on the sibling triton_gemm_mxfp8_local branch and is not in the PR tree. ci/pytorch.sh: point the "triton" label at the new paths (5 lines removed, 4 lines added -- the two mxfp8 lines collapse into one).

Fully redundant with test_triton_vs_pytorch_fp8 in test_gemm.py, which exercises the same general_gemm path with a superset of shapes (6 shapes vs 3). - test_generic_gemm_triton_fp8_multidim (2 batched cases): moved. Not covered elsewhere -- exercises the wrapper's flatten-leading-dims path for ndim > 2. Renamed to test_triton_vs_pytorch_fp8_multidim. - test_generic_gemm_triton_fp8_backward_compatibility (1 fp16 case): dropped. Redundant with test_triton_vs_pytorch_regular[fp16-*]. ci/pytorch.sh: replace the two lines pointing at test_gemm_fp8.py and test_gemm_generic.py with a single line for the renamed test_gemm.py, plus the rename of test_gemm_kernel.py.

Applying all five. 1) cpp_extensions/gemm.py: lazy-import te_generic_gemm_triton inside the `if use_gemm_triton:` branch instead of at module load. Also drop the dead-code commented `#from ..triton_kernels.gemm import te_gemm_triton` line and re-space the env-var lookup to match the surrounding file's style (double quotes, no interior spaces). Note: `triton` remains a hard runtime dep of the PyTorch bindings even without our line, because tensor/mxfp8_tensor.py transitively pulls in triton_kernels/cast_transpose.py which does `import triton` at module scope. This change removes one redundant eager import site; making triton a truly soft dep would require touching cast_transpose.py and friends -- out of scope for this PR. 2) tests/pytorch/triton_kernels/test_gemm_mxfp8.py: - Drop test_basic_fp32_gemm: it only did `torch.matmul` on plain fp32 tensors and never touched an MXFP8 code path. - Drop the `try/except Exception -> pytest.fail(str(e))` wrappers in the remaining tests. They turned real tracebacks into truncated one-liners; pytest's native uncaught-exception handling gives better diagnostics. - Prune debug prints and unused `import sys`. 3) tests/pytorch/triton_kernels/test_gemm.py and test_gemm_kernel.py: bump AMD copyright end-year from 2024 to 2024-2026 (both files were modified through 2026-07 per repo convention).

Comments 5 and 9 will be answered on-thread (see below). Applied ======= #7 cpp_extensions/gemm.py: gate NVTE_USE_GEMM_TRITON behind IS_HIP_EXTENSION. Our Triton kernels use gfx942/gfx950-specific MFMA instructions and autotune configs; refuse to enable on non-HIP builds. #1 + #4 + #8: deduplicate dtype utilities against triton_kernels/common.py, which is the authoritative source shared across all Triton kernel backends here. - gemm_common.py: drop our copies of _get_fp8_dtypes(), torch_to_te_dtype(), te_to_torch_dtype(). Keep is_fp8_dtype() (operates on tex.DType; common.py's is_fp8_torch_dtype operates on torch dtypes -- different signatures), reinterpret_as_fp8_tensor, getGemmOutputShape, product. - gemm_wrapper.py: import torch_dtype_to_te_dtype / te_dtype_to_torch_dtype from ..common; use those instead of the removed local names. - __init__.py: drop the redundant re-exports (torch_to_te_dtype, te_to_torch_dtype, _get_fp8_dtypes). Note in the file directing callers to triton_kernels.common. - test_gemm_kernel.py: import get_torch_e4m3_type, get_torch_e5m2_type, torch_dtype_to_te_dtype from triton_kernels.common; define a local _get_fp8_dtypes() shim over them to keep the test's parametrization tables unchanged. - test_gemm_mxfp8.py: previously used _get_e4m3_dtype() -- dropped along with the test that used it (see below). #2 + #3: add module docstrings to test_gemm.py, test_gemm_kernel.py, test_gemm_mxfp8.py making the scope of each file explicit and pointing at the sibling files. Prompted by wangye805's confusion between test_gemm.py and test_gemm_kernel.py, and by the question of whether MXFP8 is only tested in test_gemm_mxfp8.py. #6 test_numerics.py: rewrite the comment above and the reason= text for _skip_grouped_under_gemm_triton to make it explicit that the skip is a *backend mismatch* between the two sides of the comparison, not Triton non-determinism. - sequential side -> our Triton (via NVTE_USE_GEMM_TRITON=1) - grouped side -> hipBLASLt / CUTLASS / AITER-Triton grouped (controlled by the SEPARATE NVTE_USE_GROUPED_GEMM_TRITON env var) With just NVTE_USE_GEMM_TRITON=1 set, the two sides diverge in fp32 rounding because they run different kernels. Not our Triton being non-deterministic. Also removed test_mxfp8_kernel_with_simulated_data (an early kernel- bring-up smoke test that only asserted non-zero output; MXFP8 correctness is fully covered by test_gemm.py::test_triton_vs_*_mxfp8 with real MXFP8Tensor and both PyTorch/C++ references). To be answered on-thread ======================== #5 (conftest.py hook vs explicit skip lists) -- keep the hook: it fires only on three specific ValueError substrings from our own gate code, is self-retiring when the gates are relaxed, and explicit skips would require ~1300 marks. Detail in the PR reply. #9 (Float8TensorWrapper / MXFP8TensorWrapper vs the TE tensor types) -- defer; needs a side-by-side to see how much of the wrapper API is genuinely required for the Triton-kernel call surface (fields accessed, dimension reordering, missing-transpose fallbacks) vs. what could route through the TE tensor types directly.

A side-by-side found ~180 lines were pure attribute passthrough; only two things were doing real work: 1. Reconstructing a rowwise buffer from a columnwise-only Float8TensorStorage by inverting tex.fp8_transpose's [K, D0..D_{n-2}] permutation. (Was the site of a batch-dim scrambling bug earlier in this branch.) 2. Selecting between the rowwise and columnwise MXFP8 pre-quantized copies based on the BLAS transa/transb flags, matching the C++ CanonicalizeGemmInput mapping (MXFP8 cannot be safely re-transposed after quantization). Both are kept as free functions in gemm_common.py -- materialize_rowwise_from_columnwise() and data_and_scale_for_transpose(). Subclassing the storage types was rejected: TE creates the storage instances inside its own quantizers, so a subclass would never actually reach us; we'd have to either modify production TE tensor code (which this PR must not do) or wrap/cast at dispatch time (which is what the old wrappers already did). te_generic_gemm_triton now: - classifies each operand once via _classify_input() into ("regular", "fp8", "mxfp8") -- NVFP4 and other unsupported QuantizedTensorStorage subclasses hit the same ValueError as before - reads storage attributes directly, no per-instance wrapper object - shares the FP8 A/B extraction via _extract_fp8_operand(), which handles the columnwise-only materialization once and returns (data, scale_inv, fp8_dtype, size) Semantics vs. the old wrappers -- verified line-by-line against the C++ NVTETensorFromFloat8Tensor / CanonicalizeGemmInput contract: Float8: - "both None" -> RuntimeError with the exact same message text - _transpose_invalid check preserved - Columnwise-only rowwise materialization preserved - Materialized buffer cached in local for reuse (size(), reshape, kernel call all read one materialization) - Regular-tensor fallback (empty _scale_inv, _fp8_dtype=None) preserved MXFP8: - transa/transb -> rowwise/columnwise mapping preserved (matches C++ CanonicalizeGemmInput) - "neither rowwise nor columnwise" is now an *explicit* RuntimeError (was implicit .size()-on-None in the old wrapper -- small hardening) - Mixed MXFP8/non-MXFP8 refusal preserved - torch >= 2.10 gate preserved NVFP4: - "does not support {ClassName}" ValueError preserved (moved from Float8TensorWrapper.__init__ to _classify_input at the dispatch boundary) Validation ========== Direct suites (gfx950 / PyTorch 2.10): triton_kernels/test_gemm.py 212 pass / 72 skip triton_kernels/test_gemm_kernel.py 450 pass / 606 skip test_float8_current_scaling_exact.py 5 pass / 2 skip Megatron llama3-8B e2e (12 iters, MBS=2 BS=64 SEQ=8192 TP=1 CP=1, 8 x gfx950), losses at iter 12 shown for comparison: BF16 hipBLASLt 3574 ms/iter, 945 TF/s loss 0.045 (baseline) BF16 our Triton 5385 ms/iter, 632 TF/s loss 0.045 ok FP8 delayed E4M3 our Triton 3012 ms/iter,1120 TF/s loss 0.051 ok MXFP8 our Triton 3662 ms/iter, 921 TF/s loss 0.091 ok MXFP8 hipBLASLt (control) 2707 ms/iter,1246 TF/s loss 0.099 All three refactored dispatch branches exercised at model scale -- "regular" (BF16 through our Triton), "fp8" (E4M3-only delayed recipe; HYBRID stays gated off), and "mxfp8". 0 skipped iters, 0 NaN iters across all runs.

It was carried through from the pre-refactor code but has no call sites left; ``te_dtype_to_torch_dtype`` remains and is still used. - gemm_wrapper.py: rewrite the "Compute dimensions using wrapper sizes / Wrapper handles Float8TensorStorage which doesn't have .shape" comment block above the M/N/K computation. There is no wrapper anymore -- A_size / B_size are picked in the FP8 / MXFP8 / regular branches of te_generic_gemm_triton and always exist. - tests/pytorch/conftest.py: the marker-list block comment said the NVFP4-refusal ValueError came from Float8TensorWrapper. It now comes from _classify_input in gemm_wrapper.py. Text updated; the marker strings themselves are unchanged (the error message text is the same, verified against gemm_wrapper.py:72-78). Zero behavior change. Import sanity + a 36-case FP8 pytest slice (test_triton_vs_cpp_fp8) both pass. Also verified during the review, nothing to fix: - No orphan Float8TensorWrapper / MXFP8TensorWrapper class references anywhere in the tree. - No orphan attribute accesses (.is_fp8, .is_mxfp8, .nominal_dtype, .get_data_for_gemm, .get_data_and_scale_for_gemm, A_wrapper, B_wrapper). - Only one Python import site outside the gemm package (test_gemm_kernel.py -> te_gemm_triton, re-exported via __init__.py). - cpp_extensions/gemm.py's lazy from ..triton_kernels.gemm import te_generic_gemm_triton inside the if use_gemm_triton branch is still intact. - Conftest hook markers still match the current error message text raised by _classify_input. - Semantic contract vs. old wrappers preserved: RuntimeError text for "neither rowwise nor columnwise" case, _transpose_invalid check, output-dtype fallback chain via a_nominal_dtype (mxfp8 -> float32 fallback, fp8 -> None fallback that raises if output_dtype is also None, regular -> A.dtype), MXFP8 will_transpose mapping matching the C++ CanonicalizeGemmInput table. --- tests/pytorch/conftest.py | 3 ++- .../pytorch/triton_kernels/gemm/gemm_common.py | 12 +++--------- .../pytorch/triton_kernels/gemm/gemm_wrapper.py | 7 ++++--- 3 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) diff --git a/tests/pytorch/conftest.py b/tests/pytorch/conftest.py index 560ba9ef79..4549c743e3 100644 --- a/tests/pytorch/conftest.py +++ b/tests/pytorch/conftest.py @@ -20,7 +20,8 @@ # Mixed FP8 (e4m3 x e5m2) refused at the low-level matmul entry.

Drop the local helpers that duplicated the str -> torch dtype mapping: - Delete `_get_fp8_dtypes()` shim -- inline the two ``get_torch_e4m3_type()`` / ``get_torch_e5m2_type()`` calls. - Delete the ``tl_to_torch_types`` dict entirely -- it was just an inverted map of ``name_to_tl_types``, and ``test_common.str_to_torch_dtype`` covers the same conversion directly from the string name (already has fp16/bf16/fp32/fp8e4/fp8e5). - Keep ``name_to_tl_types`` -- ``gen_input`` still needs the Triton dtype for the reference ``copy_kernel`` and to decide the fp8 code path; there is no str -> tl.dtype helper in test_common.
