# fused-moe
Implementing the fused-moe block operator using ck-tile. This is a scatter/gather-group-gemm based solution, similiar to that of [vllm moe](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/blob/main/benchmarks/kernels/benchmark_moe.py), but we introduce more kernel fusion to boost performance
# Fused-MoE with CK Tile
This example implements a highly optimized fused Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) block using the CK Tile programming model. The design fuses MoE sorting, group-GEMM, activation, and top-k weighting into a single kernel, minimizing memory traffic and maximizing throughput for large language models.
---
## Algorithm and Math
### MoE Block Structure
Given:
- **Input**: $X$ of shape $[\text{tokens}, \text{hidden}]$
- **TopK indices/weights**: $I, W$ from gating (shape $[\text{tokens}, \text{topk}]$)
- **Expert weights**: $[\text{experts}, \text{hidden}, \text{hidden}]$
**Steps:**
1. **MoE Sorting**: Rearrange tokens so each expert receives its assigned tokens in contiguous blocks (see [13_moe_sorting](../13_moe_sorting/README.md)).
2. **Group-GEMM**: For each expert, perform GEMM on its assigned tokens:
$$
Y^{(e)} = X^{(e)} W^{(e)}
$$
3. **Activation + TopK Weighting**: Apply activation (e.g., GELU) and multiply by top-k weights.
4. **Scatter/Gather**: Write results back to the original token order.
### Technical Details
- **Scatter/Gather Group-GEMM**: Uses indirect indexing to map tokens to experts and back.
- **Block Partitioning**: Tokens are partitioned into slices per expert, with padding for alignment.
- **Atomic Accumulation**: Second GEMM uses atomics for accumulation to support overlapping tokens.
- **Buffer Zeroing**: Output buffer is zeroed in the sorting step, eliminating extra kernels.
- **Pre-shuffled Weights**: Expert weights are pre-shuffled for coalesced memory access.
- **Micro-kernel Pipeline**: Uses block-inline-asm micro-kernels for peak performance, while retaining composability.
## Build & Run
```bash
mkdir build && cd build
sh ../script/cmake-ck-dev.sh ../ <arch>
make tile_example_fused_moe -j
./bin/tile_example_fused_moe -?
```

## Source Structure
- **Kernel**: [`fused_moe.hpp`](fused_moe.hpp), [`fused_moegemm.hpp`](fused_moegemm.hpp), [`fused_moesorting.hpp`](fused_moesorting.hpp)
- **Executable**: [`main.cpp`](main.cpp)
- **Build**: `CMakeLists.txt`, `instances/`, `misc/`
