Summary

Two small hardening changes for the scale-factor (SF) layout APIs, motivated by SM120 (RTX PRO 6000 / RTX 6000D) usage of the MXFP4 weight-prep path from SGLang:

  1. preprocess_sf device validation — the layout-transform functions feed .data_ptr() straight into JIT-launched device kernels. A CPU tensor reaching this point would crash the process instead of failing cleanly, so preprocess_sf now asserts sf.is_cuda() up front (covers get_mn_major_tma_aligned_tensor and get_mn_major_tma_aligned_packed_ue8m0_tensor).

    Note: through the tvm-ffi boundary a CPU tensor actually dies earlier, inside convert_to_torch_tensor (host pointer + CUDA device options in torch::from_blob); this guard covers the pybind/direct path and is defense-in-depth rather than the fix for that boundary crash.

  2. Regression test for the MXFP4 (1, 32) recipe — mirrors the exact call SGLang makes during Kimi-K3 / DeepSeek-V4 weight loading (transform_sf_into_required_layout(sf, mn=..., k=..., recipe=(1, 32), num_groups=..., disable_ue8m0_cast=False)), asserting the packed-UE8M0 output matches the torch reference (values, shape, strides). Skipped on SM90 where the (1, 32) UE8M0 branch does not exist.

Validation

  • test_transform_sf_into_required_layout_mxfp4_recipe passed on SM120 (RTX 6000D, fresh build from this branch): shapes (1, 3072, 3584), (4, 1024, 3584), (8, 3072, 7168) all match the torch reference.
  • SGLang end-to-end (feat(moe): enable DeepGEMM MoE runner on SM120 (RTX PRO 6000 / RTX 6000D) sglang#34827): Kimi-K3 TP32×EP32 on 32× RTX 6000D loads and generates with --moe-runner-backend deep_gemm; decode TPOT p50 76.0 ms vs marlin baseline 74.9 ms.

Critical: the published sgl-deep-gemm 0.1.5.post2 wheel is broken

Field crashes ("Unknown SF transformation" / dtype assertion / segfault during MXFP4 weight prep on SM120) trace to the published PyPI wheel, not the source:

  • Through the wheel's tvm-ffi boundary, every tensor argument arrives corrupted on the C++ side (undefined TypeMeta, wrong dims) — transform_sf_into_required_layout, preprocess_sf, get_mn_major_tma_aligned_packed_ue8m0_tensor all fail for any dtype/shape, with Assertion error (layout.hpp:93) or a segfault in TypeMeta::error_unsupported_typemeta.
  • A minimal tvm-ffi module compiled in the same container receives the same tensors correctly — the boundary/ABI is fine; the breakage is specific to the wheel's _C.so.
  • Building the wheel from dev (this branch, version 0.1.5.post3 in the test) fixes everything on SM120.

Please rebuild/re-release the wheel — the current PyPI artifact corrupts tensor arguments at the tvm-ffi boundary and blocks MXFP4 (K3/DSV4) weight prep on any architecture that reaches transform_sf_into_required_layout.

Context

The (1, 32) UE8M0 branch of transform_sf_into_required_layout covers arch_major == 10 or 12 since #56; the test locks in the SM120 path that SGLang's MXFP4 MoE runner relies on once enabled there (sgl-project/sglang#34827).

Two related additions for the DeepSeek-V4-Pro mega-MoE path:

1. **FP4 (E2M1) activations + `kind::mxf4` mainloop opt-in** for `fp8_fp4_mega_moe`.
   - `DG_USE_FP4_ACTS=1` halves the symm-buffer x-slot footprint (E2M1 nibbles
     vs E4M3 bytes); SF slot unchanged (still `hidden/32` UE8M0 bytes under
     gran_k=32).
   - `use_mxf4_kind=true` switches the L1+L2 mainloops to `cta_group::2 kind::mxf4`
     (2-CTA cluster) with dense FP4 smem layout (`_ALIGN8B`, 2 nibbles/byte).
     Per-stage A/B byte footprint halves → num_stages doubles for the same
     smem budget.
   - Threads `cumulative_local_expert_recv_stats` through the public mega-MoE
     API for per-rank expert counters used by sglang's expert-distribution
     recorder.
   - Block-m heuristic: under `use_mxf4_kind`, bumps `block_m=16 → 32` for the
     smallest-tokens-per-expert bucket so `load_block_m * block_k / 2` meets
     the 1024-byte smem alignment.
   - Multi-block_m support via `kCandidateBlockM` array + LCM-aligned pool
     padding; replaces the static `block_m=192` heuristic with token-density
     dispatch (8/16/32/64/96/128/192).

2. **`mega_moe_pre_dispatch` kernel**: BF16 → quant + topk-copy + pad-fill in
   one launch, gated on `kUseFp4Acts` + `kUsePDL`. Templated on
   `(kGroupSize, kUseFp4Acts, kUsePDL)`. Uses bucketize-style E2M1 encoder for
   byte-exact match against the `per_token_cast_to_fp4` host helper.
   - New: `deep_gemm.mega_moe_pre_dispatch(x, topk_idx, topk_weights, buf_x,
     buf_x_sf, buf_topk_idx, buf_topk_weights, num_tokens, group_size, use_fp4_acts)`
   - Test: `tests/test_mega_moe_pre_dispatch.py` — single-GPU bytewise check
     against host `per_token_cast_to_fp{8,4}` + pad-fill assertion.

Validated end-to-end on 8× B300 with DeepSeek-V4-Pro at 8K input bench:
- FP4 acts + MXF4 kind path produces matching tokens vs the FP8 baseline
  (rel-RMSE ≤ 0.5 sentinel; GSM8K accuracy parity within run-to-run variance).

PR also includes existing FP4-mega-MoE supporting changes that are required
by the kernel:
- `cluster_sync_with_relaxed_arrive` helper (used twice in `sm100_fp8_fp4_mega_moe.cuh`).
- `cvt_pack_f32_to_e2m1x2` / `cvt_pack_f32x4_to_e2m1x4` PTX wrappers.
- `SM100_MMA_MXF4_2x1SM_SS` 2-CTA cluster MMA wrapper.
- Generalized `red_add(int*, int)` for the `cumulative_local_expert_recv_stats`
  counter.
- `st.L1::no_allocate.relaxed.sys.global.u64` (correctness fix: previous
  generic-address variant could miss the global state space).

…bine path) (sgl-project#28)

* Add DG_USE_FP8_COMBINE: FP8 + per-row UE8M0 SF on the second a2a (combine path)

The mega-MoE second all-to-all (combine) currently ships BF16 over NVLink:
each token, each topk slot = kHidden * 2 bytes. This commit adds an env-
gated FP8 path that ships FP8 E4M3 + a per-(token, N=128) UE8M0 SF byte —
kHidden + kHidden/128 bytes per token per slot, half the NVLink bytes.

Wiring:
- New `kUseFp8Combine` template flag (default false → keeps BF16 path
  byte-identical when off).
- New `combine_sf_buffer` symm-buffer slot, sized kHidden/128 bytes per
  (token, slot) when on, zero when off.
- Host: `DG_USE_FP8_COMBINE=1` env flag in `mega.hpp`. Independent of
  `DG_USE_FP4_ACTS` / `DG_USE_MXF4_KIND` (those control the dispatch a2a +
  mainloops; this controls the combine a2a only).

Producer side (L2 epilogue write-back, sm100_fp8_fp4_mega_moe.cuh):
- Read 8 BF16 from smem (existing STSM target).
- Compute per-row amax via `__shfl_xor_sync` reduction over the 16 lanes
  that share each row tile. Use a 16-lane mask (NOT 0xffffffff) — the
  outer `if (m_idx_in_block >= valid_m) break` may cause the OTHER half-
  warp to exit on padding rows, and a full-warp shfl would deadlock.
- Compute UE8M0 SF (E4M3 finfo_max=448, mirrors `get_e4m3_sf_and_sf_inv`).
- Cast 8 BF16 → 8 FP8 via `__nv_fp8x4_e4m3(float4)` ×2; pack into uint64.
- Write 8 FP8 bytes to remote (vs 16 BF16 bytes). Lane 0 of the 16-lane
  group writes the SF byte to `combine_sf_buffer`.

Consumer side (combine reduce):
- Per-slot SF base ptr cached at slot start.
- TMA-load FP8 chunk (kNumChunkBytes / 2 bytes when kUseFp8Combine).
- Per uint4 (16 FP8): __ldg the SF byte for the segment; FP8 → FP16x2
  via `cvt.rn.f16x2.e4m3x2`, FP16 → FP32 via `cvt.f32.f16`, then
  `__fmaf_rn(val, sf, acc)` for the accumulate-with-dequant.
- BF16 store-buffer layout for FP8 path: 2 BF16 uint4 per input uint4
  (16 elements → 2 × 8 BF16 stripes), at indices (j*32+lane)*2 + {0,1}.
  Total store uint4/lane same as BF16 path (kNumChunkUint4Bf16 / 32).

Validation:
- Microbench (`ptx/d_combine_reduce_v{1,2}_*`):
  - v1 BF16 baseline: 6,895 cycles/token, max_abs=0 (perfect).
  - v2 FP8 + UE8M0 SF: correctness PASS (max_abs=0 vs host reference
    that uses the same FP8 quant), 50% NVLink bytes savings.
- Single-GPU iso bench (8x B300, fp4_mxf4 vs fp4_mxf4+combine):
  - b=128:  364 us → 359 us (+1.5%)
  - b=512:  377 us → 386 us (-2.2%)
  - b=2048: 710 us → 739 us (-3.9%)
  Single-GPU is compute-bound (no NVLink saving); production is the
  point of the change.
- E2E DeepSeek-V4-Pro on 8x B300 (b=8192 input, 1024 output):
  - b=512:  91.92 s (FP8) → 78.37 s (FP4+MXF4+FP8combine) — +17.3%
  - b=2048: 259.4 s (FP8) → 238.2 s — +8.9%
  - b=4096: 489.5 s (FP8) → 444.2 s — +10.2%
  Sentinel test (FP4 acts vs FP8 acts): rel-RMSE <= 0.5 still passes.

Numerical: rel-RMSE on synthetic random init = 0.027 (combine FP8 vs
BF16 baseline, w/o SwiGLU clamping → tail outliers). Real activations
post-SwiGLU + topk-weighting are bounded; production accuracy parity
preserved (same GSM8K results as FP4 baseline).

* Combine reduce: HFMA path (FP16 accumulator + fma.f16x2)

Switch the FP8 combine reduce inner loop from FP32 accumulator + scalar
fma to FP16x2 accumulator + hfma.f16x2. Halves the per-element op count
and halves the accumulator register pressure (94 regs vs 138 regs).

Inner loop, before:
  cvt.rn.f16x2.e4m3x2 (FP8x2 → FP16x2)
  cvt.f32.f16  ×2     (FP16 → FP32)
  fma.rn.f32   ×2     (acc += sf_f32 * f32_val)
  = 5 ops per FP8x2 (= 2 elements)

After:
  cvt.rn.f16x2.e4m3x2 (FP8x2 → FP16x2)
  fma.rn.f16x2        (acc_fp16x2 += sf_pair * f16x2)
  = 2 ops per FP8x2

SF in FP16: UE8M0 byte → 1.0 * 2^(byte-127), packed as FP16 with bias 15.
Out-of-range SFs (byte < 112 or > 142) clamp to 0 / FP16-max — production
activations post-SwiGLU + topk-weighting fit comfortably in FP16 range.

End cast: FP16x2 → __half22float2 → __float22bfloat162_rn for the gmem
write-back (BF16 output unchanged).

Microbench (`ptx/d_combine_reduce_v3_fp8_hfma`):
  v1 BF16 baseline: 6,895 cycles/token
  v2 FP8 + FP32 acc: 10,797 cycles/token (+57% vs v1)
  v3 FP8 + FP16 HFMA: **5,799 cycles/token (-16% vs v1, -46% vs v2)**

E2E DeepSeek-V4-Pro 8x B300, 8K input + 1024 output:
  | batch | FP4+MXF4 | combine FP32 | combine HFMA |
  |------:|---------:|-------------:|-------------:|
  | 512   | —        | 7,526        | 7,350        |
  | 2048  | 9,814    | 9,903        | **9,992**    |
  | 4096  | 10,418   | 10,622       | **10,699**   |

HFMA wins at 2048/4096; ~tie at 512. Worth keeping as the default.

Numerical: v3 microbench correctness max_abs=0.0625, rel_rmse=3.8e-4
vs the FP32 reference. Production activations: still within sentinel
tolerance (rel-RMSE ≤ 0.5 vs FP8 baseline).

* Revert "Combine reduce: HFMA path (FP16 accumulator + fma.f16x2)"

This reverts commit 48e8101.

preprocess_sf feeds .data_ptr() straight into device kernels; a CPU
tensor segfaults the process at launch (illegal device address) instead
of failing cleanly, so assert the device up front.

Also add a regression test covering transform_sf_into_required_layout
with the MXFP4 (1, 32) recipe used by sglang's Kimi-K3 / DeepSeek-V4
weight prep (packed-UE8M0 output), gated off SM90 where that UE8M0
branch does not exist.
