# moe-smoothquant
# MoE-SmoothQuant with CK Tile
This folder contains example for moe-smoothquant using ck_tile tile-programming implementation.
This example demonstrates MoE-SmoothQuant, a fused quantization operation for Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models, using the CK Tile programming model. Unlike standard SmoothQuant, the input scale is expert-dependent, and the operation is fused with top-k expert selection. Specifically, it quantizes the top-k experts' outputs for each token using their respective expert scales. The input scale is from different expert `[expert, hidden]`, and we need reuse the `topk-id` from previous `topk-softmax` and select the corresponding `expert` from current topk, and expand the output/per-token-scale by `topk`.
This diagram depicts moe-smoothquant using ck_tile tile-programming implementation.

## build
```
# in the root of ck_tile
## Algorithm and Math
Given:
- **Input**: $X$ of shape $[\text{tokens}, \text{topk}, \text{hidden}]$
- **Expert scales**: $S$ of shape $[\text{experts}, \text{hidden}]$
- **TopK indices**: $I$ of shape $[\text{tokens}, \text{topk}]$
**Steps:**
1. For each token $t$ and its $k$ selected experts:
- Select scale $S_{I_{t,k}, :}$ for the $k$-th expert.
- Scale: $Y_{t,k,j} = X_{t,k,j} \cdot S_{I_{t,k}, j}$
2. **Rowwise Dynamic Quantization** (per token-expert pair):
- $s_{t,k} = \max_j |Y_{t,k,j}| / 127$
- $Q_{t,k,j} = \text{round}(Y_{t,k,j} / s_{t,k})$, $Q_{t,k,j} \in \text{int8}$
**Output**:
- Quantized tensor $Q$ (int8)
- Per-token-expert scale $s$ (fp32)
---
## Tile Programming Model
- **Tiles**: Each thread block processes a tile (block of tokens, experts, or hidden units).
- **Tile Engine**: Loads input, selects expert scales via top-k indices, applies scaling and quantization, and writes results.
- **Pipeline**: Modular, can be extended for further fusion.
---
## Build & Run
```bash
mkdir build && cd build
sh ../script/cmake-ck-dev.sh ../ <arch> # you can replace this <arch> to gfx90a, gfx942...
sh ../script/cmake-ck-dev.sh ../ <arch>
make tile_example_moe_smoothquant -j`nproc`
./bin/tile_example_moe_smoothquant -?
```
This will result in an executable `build/bin/tile_example_moe_smoothquant`
---
## Source Structure
- **Kernel**: [`moe_smoothquant.hpp`](moe_smoothquant.hpp) (tile-programming kernel template)
- **Executable**: [`moe_smoothquant.cpp`](moe_smoothquant.cpp)
- **Build**: `CMakeLists.txt`, `instances/`, `misc/`, `script/`
---
## Technical Notes
- **Expert-dependent scaling**: Each token's top-k experts use their own per-hidden-unit scale, requiring indirect indexing and efficient memory access.
- **Fused with top-k**: The kernel uses top-k indices from gating to select the correct expert scale for each token.
- **Rowwise quantization**: Each token-expert pair is quantized independently for maximum accuracy.
