[CK] Fix OOB page table read in batch_prefill V prefetch
(AICK-1171) (#6932)

## Summary
Fix a GPU memory access fault in `mha_batch_prefill` triggered when the
per-batch page table is tightly sized (no trailing slack).
**Affected configurations:**
- All FMHA batch prefill V2 kernels
(`block_fmha_batch_prefill_pipeline_qr_ks_vs_async`)
- Triggered by paged KV layouts where `kv_page_indices.numel() ==
ceil(seqlen_k / page_size)` exactly
- Manifests as: `Memory access fault by GPU node-X (Agent handle:
0x...)` followed by `Aborted (core dumped)`
- Silent corruption (no fault, wrong output) when the OOB read happens
to land in zero-initialized memory
### Root cause
`load_physical_pages` performs **lookahead reads** on the page table to
prefetch K/V tiles for the next iteration. When the page table for a
batch has exactly `N` entries, the V-tile prefetch indexes `page_idx[N]`
(one past the last valid entry), reading either uninitialized memory or
the next batch's slot. On gfx942 with a tightly-sized page table, the
read crosses into an unmapped page and triggers an HSA page fault.
The bug was masked in earlier testing because most test harnesses pad
`kv_page_indices` with trailing zeros — OOB reads then return `page_id =
0`, a valid in-cache page, producing silent numerical drift instead of a
fault.
### Fix design
Thread `max_page_table_idx = (seqlen_k - 1) / page_size` from the kernel
layer down to `load_physical_pages`, and clamp every page-table read
with `ck_tile::min()`. Applied to **all four code paths** in the V
prefetch:
| Branch | What it does | Clamp applied |
|--------|-------------|---------------|
| `kIsKcache` | K prefetch loop | `min(global_token_idx >>
kLog2PageSize, max_page_table_idx)` |
| V LINEAR (`page_size == 1`) | One token = one page |
`min(global_token_idx, max_page_table_idx)` |
| V crosses pages (`kVTileCrossesPages`) | Per-thread page lookup |
`min(global_token_idx >> kLog2PageSize, max_page_table_idx)` |
| V single page (lane0 broadcast) | `readfirstlane`-uniform lookup |
`min(... >> kLog2PageSize, max_page_table_idx)` |
### Key design decisions
**Mandatory parameter, not optional with a sentinel default.** An
optional `max_page_table_idx = INT32_MAX` default would let the bug
silently come back at any new callsite that forgets to pass it. Making
it mandatory forces every caller to opt in explicitly and surfaces
missed callsites at compile time.
**`seqlen_k == 0` clamps to 0** instead of underflowing `(0 - 1) /
page_size` to `-1`. The empty-batch case is rare but well-defined: clamp
every read to slot 0.
**Single computation in the kernel layer.**
`FmhaBatchPrefillWithPagedKVCacheKernel` computes `max_page_table_idx`
once per batch and forwards it through every QScale branch (PERTENSOR /
KV_BLOCKSCALE / default). All three `operator()` overloads of the
pipeline (rich, default forwarder, KV_BLOCKSCALE forwarder) take and
forward the parameter.
### Files changed

Improve the performance of qr_ks_vs_whole_k_prefetch pipeline
(#6209)
## About qr_ks_vs_whole_k_prefetch pipeline
This PR updates and enhances the qr_ks_vs_whole_k_prefetch pipeline to
improve performance on both MI350 GPUs through better MFMA instruction
usage, transposed V-loading support, and N0-loop implementation. The
pipeline targets scenarios where the number of workgroups is low,
enabling better CU occupancy by using smaller MTile sizes (kM0=64 vs
128) while prefetching entire K tiles.
## Changes:
- Adds transposed V-loading support (qr_ks_vs_whole_k_prefetch_trload)
to avoid using shuffle instructions on MI350
- Implements N0-loop based Gemm0 to reduce tile window movement overhead
and eliminate `clear_tile` calls
- Adds full support for hdim96/hdim160 without padding requirements
- Updates MFMA instruction selection to ensure optimal choices for MI350
## Performance results
1. For attention shapes which leads to kM0=64,
`qr_ks_vs_async_whole_k_prefetch_trload` shows much better performance
than `qr_ks_vs_async_trload` on the same case (execution time `41.02ms`
by whole_k_prefetch_trload & `58.50ms` by async_load), and
`qr_ks_vs_async_whole_k_prefetch_trload` also shows obviously better
performance than the recently tuned `qr_ks_vs_async` on the same case
(execution time `41.02ms` by whole_k_prefetch_trload 7 `47.60ms` by
qr_ks_vs_async)
2. Also on MI300, for attention shapes which leads to kM0=64,
`qr_ks_vs_async_whole_k_prefetch` shows much better performance than the
`qr_ks_vs_async` (which is supposed to be very high-efficient) on the
same case (execution time `64.50ms` by whole_k_prefetch & `80.20ms` by
qr_ks_vs_async)
3. For attention shapes which leads to kM0=128,
`qr_ks_vs_async_whole_k_prefetch_trload` show a little bit better
performance than `qr_ks_vs_async` on mi350 (execution time `104.50ms` by
whole_k_prefetch_trload & `106.50ms` by qr_ks_vs_async). And they shows
completely on-par performance on MI300
## Test/Verify
1. Use the ROCM xformers branch `test_whole_k_prefetch_n0loop` to
test/verify qr_ks_vs_whole_k_prefetch pipeline since this pipeline can
not be used by ck_tile fmha example so far
2. Use the following command-line for building/testing xformers
>```bash
> #> git clone -b test_whole_k_prefetch_n0loop
https://github.com/ROCm/xformers
> #> git submodule update --init --recursive
> #> pip install --no-build-isolation -e ./
> #> pytest tests/test_mem_eff_attention.py::test_forward
>```
4. Any scripts which can run on xformers can be used to evaluate
qr_ks_vs_whole_k_prefetch pipeline. Using the two environ variable to
switch from using different pipelines
> ```bash
> #> export FMHA_DISABLE_SPECIAL_TREATMENT=1 #> to disable using FAV3
and qr_ks_vs_async_trload pipeline
> #> export FMHA_ENABLE_ASYNC_PIPELINE=1 #> to disable using
qr_ks_vs_async pipeline for comparing
> ```
## Discussion
[CK_TILE] fix(fmha): support >2GB KV cache in batch prefill
via template dispatch (#6653)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
## Motivation
The CK batch prefill kernel previously failed (silent overflow + page
faults) when the KV cache exceeded 2 GB, blocking long-context inference
workloads (e.g., 128K+ token contexts with paged KV).
Two distinct failure modes were addressed:
1. **>4GB SRD overflow (`page_size < kN0`):** The SRD
`buffer_load_dwordx4` path uses a 32-bit `voffset` register; for small
page sizes the rebased SRD spans the full KV pool and the offset wraps
past 2 GB, corrupting K/V loads.
2. **gfx950 page-table fault (`page_size >= kN0`):** On CDNA4 the
hardware validates the **full SRD `num_records` range** against
page-table permissions (CDNA3 only checks per-instruction `voffset`).
After per-tile SRD rebase, an un-trimmed `num_records` field extends
past the live page and faults on freed/protected memory.
## Technical Details
**Two-mode `tile_scatter_gather` selected by the `kUseGlobalLoad`
template parameter:**
| Case | `page_size` | KV cache size | Mode | Load path | Addressing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | `>= kN0` (large pages) | any | SRD (`kUseGlobalLoad=false`) |
`buffer_load_dwordx4` | 32-bit `voffset`, bounded by per-page rebase |
| 2 | `< kN0` (small pages) | `<= 2 GB` | SRD (`kUseGlobalLoad=false`) |
`buffer_load_dwordx4` | 32-bit `voffset`, fits in INT32 byte range |
| 3 | `< kN0` (small pages) | `> 2 GB` | Global-load
(`kUseGlobalLoad=true`) | `async_load_tile_raw_flat` (K) +
`load_tile_flat` (V) | 64-bit |
**Dispatch:** the auto-gen API layer (`fmha_batch_prefill.py`) selects
the kernel instantiation at launch from `(page_block_size,
num_total_pages * batch_stride_k * kElementBytes)`, so the small-page
penalty is paid only when correctness requires it.
**gfx950 SRD `num_records` trimming:** in the K and V rebase lambdas of
`block_fmha_batch_prefill_pipeline_qr_ks_vs_async`,
`set_bottom_tensor_view_buffer_size(page_stride_k/v)` is called after
each rebase to constrain `num_records` to the live page. Required for
CDNA4 page-table validation; harmless on CDNA3.
**Pipeline sync for the global-load path:**
- V uses synchronous `load_tile_flat`; K uses
`async_load_tile_raw_flat`.
- `v_physical_pages_current` is double-buffered so the V flat load
doesn't race against the next iteration's K rebase computation.
**Arch guards:** `global_load_lds` intrinsics are gated to `__gfx94__` /
`__gfx950__` (CDNA3+). Other architectures hit a `dependent_false`
static_assert with a descriptive message.
**Device-side assertion convention:** SRD setters use
`__builtin_assume(cond)` (hint-only) rather than `<cassert>`'s
`assert()`. The latter introduces an `__assert_fail` call whose register
pressure scatters the K-SRD scalar register window across conditional
branches, corrupting `buffer_load_dwordx4` on gfx950.
## Test Plan
Tested on both MI308 (gfx942) and MI355 (gfx950) via the aiter wrapper
test suite. All coverage lives in **`op_tests/test_batch_prefill.py`**:
- **Functional matrix (96 cases)** — `test_batch_prefill`: `page_size ∈
{1, 16, 1024}` × `kv_layout ∈ {linear, vectorized}` × `dtype ∈ {bf16,
fp8 quant variants}` × `causal` × `soft_cap` × `LSE` × `batch_size ∈ {1,
4}` (parametrized to exercise per-sequence SRD rebase across batch
boundaries).
- **>2 GB coverage** — `test_batch_prefill_large_kvcache`: extended to
allocate a 5 GB+ KV cache pool and exercise both `kUseGlobalLoad=true`
(small-page) and `kUseGlobalLoad=false` (large-page rebase) paths.
Includes both single-batch and multi-batch (`batch_size=4`) cases to
exercise per-sequence SRD rebase across the >2 GB pool.
- Numerical reference: PyTorch SDPA, per-batch loop with `atol` / `rtol`
from the existing batch prefill test harness.
## Test Result
| Arch | `test_batch_prefill` | `test_batch_prefill_large_kvcache` (>2
GB) |
|------|----------------------|---------------------|
| MI308 (gfx942) | All passed | Passed |
| MI355 (gfx950) | All passed | Passed |
**Performance impact (gfx950, hot SRD path):**
- +2.67% kernel-time on `seqlen=1024 / page_sz=1024 / bf16 / sglang /
causal / soft_cap=30`, attributable in full to the two
`set_bottom_tensor_view_buffer_size` calls in the K/V rebase lambdas
(5-run median, signal/noise ≈ 9×).
- This cost is **mandatory for gfx950 correctness** on >2 GB workloads —
removing the setters re-introduces page-faults.
- gfx942: 0 regressions in the same range (all configs ≤ +0.97%).

[CK] Fix out of bounds modifications caused by negative
topk_ids in MoeSortingMultiPhaseKernel_P0_v1 (#6242)
## Motivation
Fix sglang randomly crash by filter negative topk ids.
## Technical Details
In sglang expert parallel mode, there may be idle batch (batch=0) fired,
it will reuse batch=1 resource in cuda graph mode. But in topk op, it
will set non used topk ids to -1, in idle batch case, all topk ids are
set to -1. In `MoeSortingMultiPhaseKernel_P0_v1` negative expert id will
cause overwrite somewhere and sglang may randomly crash.
Except idle batch case, if the captured batch sizes are discrete, there
may be -1 of expert id due to the similar logic.

[CK_TILE] Preserve input strides in EightWaves async-load
descriptor (#6611)
`MakeAsyncLoadADramWindow` in
`GemmPipelineAgBgCrCompAsyncEightWavesPolicy` was rebuilding the 6D view
descriptor with `make_naive_tensor_descriptor_packed`, which synthesizes
strides from lengths and assumes a dense layout. When the input view's
leading-dim stride is larger than its inner length (non-packed memory
layout), the resulting tile window stepped through memory at the wrong
stride.
Compose the unmerge transforms on top of the input view's existing
descriptor instead, so the actual runtime strides are preserved and the
correct `element_space_size` is inherited for bounds checking.
## Test Plan
Added an unit test showing the problem.
## Test Result
The new test fails before fixes and passes after.

CK][fmha] Add StreamLLM sink support to batch_prefill
pipeline (#6479)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
## Motivation
The existing paged-KV attention pipelines (pagedkv, splitkv) support
StreamLLM-style sink tokens — a fixed set of initial tokens kept in
attention alongside the sliding window. The `batch_prefill` pipeline
(chunked-prefill with VLLM-style block tables) previously hardcoded
`kHasSink = false`, making it incompatible with sink-based attention
patterns in LLM serving scenarios.
This PR extends `batch_prefill` to support `kHasSink` and wires it
into `fmha_fwd_runner` for validation against the existing CPU
reference.
## Technical Details
**Pipeline** (`block_fmha_batch_prefill_pipeline_qr_ks_vs_async.hpp`):
- When `kHasSink`, the K/V loop splits into a sink phase [0,
sink_seq_end)
and a window phase [seqlen_k_start, seqlen_k_end), mirroring pagedkv.
- K advance at the sink→window transition jumps
`seqlen_k_start - sink_seq_end + kN0` to bridge the gap.
- V scatter-gather offsets are re-initialized at the transition to fix a
window mismatch bug: V was lagging kN0 behind K after the large jump,
loading from the wrong sequence position.
- Bias window, dropout seq_offset, and mask type (LogitsSinkMask)
updated
for sink-awareness.
**Traits / codegen** (`tile_fmha_traits.hpp`, `fmha_fwd.hpp`,
`fmha_batch_prefill.py`):
- `TileFmhaBatchPrefillTraits` gains `kHasSink_` (was hardcoded
`false`).
- Codegen adds `F_sink` field; skips batch-mode kernels (group mode
required).
- CMake test filter broadened from 9 → 33 instances covering
fp16/bf16 × mask/nmask × lse/nlse × sink/nsink.
**Runner** (`fmha_fwd_runner.hpp`, `CMakeLists.txt`):
- `fmha_batch_prefill()` dispatched from `run_fwd` when:
group mode + paged KV + num_splits == 1.
- K/V strides corrected for runner's [num_pages, nhead_k,
page_block_size, hdim] layout.
- `page_block_size % 128` check relaxed: batch_prefill supports ps=16.
- CPU reference paged-KV reordering guards extended with
`CK_TILE_FMHA_FWD_BATCH_PREFILL_API`.
## Test Plan
Build with `-DFMHA_FWD_ENABLE_APIS="fwd;batch_prefill"`, run
`tile_example_fmha_fwd` in group mode with page_block_size=16.
Test matrix:
- Mask: no-mask, causal, sliding window
- Sink: nsink, sink=1..128
- dtype: fp16, bf16
- LSE output: on/off
- seqlen ∈ {512,1024,2048,4096} × window ∈ {32,256,512,1024}
- GQA, chunked prefill, large batch×seqlen
- page_block_size: 16, 32
## Test Result
171 test cases, all valid:y:
- nmask + nsink: ✓
- causal + nsink: ✓
- causal + sink=8: ✓
- sliding window + sink=8 (d=128, d=256): ✓
- bf16, LSE output, GQA: ✓

[CK_TILE] Separate PermuteN epilogue from CShuffle epilogue
into standalone file (#5863)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
## Motivation
The PermuteN epilogue was previously embedded within
cshuffle_epilogue.hpp, despite having fundamentally different behaviour.
Coupling these two independent strategies in one file introduced
unnecessary complexity, SFINAE guards, and a dual operator() overload
selected at compile time via TiledMMAPermuteN_ template parameter.
This PR separates PermuteN into its own standalone
file(pertmuten_epilogue.hpp), simplifying both implementations and
making the codebase easier to maintain and extend independently.
## Technical Details
**New file: permuten_epilogue.hpp:**
contains PermuteNEpilogueProblem and PermuteNEpilogue, extracted from
the permuteN code path in cshuffle_epilogue.hpp.
**Cleanup of cshuffle_epilogue.hpp:**
- Removed the TiledMMAPermuteN_ template parameter from
[CShuffleEpilogueProblem]
- Removed the SFINAE-guarded permuteN operator() overload
- Removed the EnablePermuateN_ SFINAE alias
- CShuffle now only contains CShuffle logic; EightWave support
(independent feature) is retained
**Consumer migration :**
All consumer files now use compile-time epilogue selection via
[std::conditional_t]
`using GemmEpilogue = std::conditional_t<
TiledMMAPermuteN,
PermuteNEpilogue<PermuteNEpilogueProblem<...>>,
CShuffleEpilogue<CShuffleEpilogueProblem<...>>>;`
**Files modified:**
- flatmm_basic.cpp, moe_flatmm.cpp, a16w4_moe_flatmm.cpp,
mixed_prec_flatmm.cpp, mx_flatmm_instance.hpp — flatmm examples
- run_gemm_quant_example.inc — block-scale GEMM example
- gemm_weight_preshuffle_invoker.hpp — weight preshuffle invoker
- test_gemm_quant_fixtures.hpp, test_gemm_persistent_async_input.cpp,
test_gemm_pipeline_util.hpp — test utilities
- universal_gemm_invoker.hpp — universal GEMM invoker
- epilogue.hpp — add header updated to include permuten_epilogue.hpp

[CK_TILE] Restructure Tile Engine's benchmarking and
profiling (#4769)
## Motivation
This PR introduces a restructure for the benchmarking and profiling
aspects of CK Tile's Tile Engine, expanding on the groundwork from this
previous https://github.com/ROCm/composable_kernel/pull/3434 and
outlined in this [design
document](https://amdcloud-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/personal/astharai_amd_com/Documents/Restructuring%20Tile%20Engine.docx?d=w14ea28a30718416988ed5ebb759bd3b2&csf=1&web=1&e=l3VBuX).
In PR 3434, to reduce repeated code we implemented:
- Base class that centralizes common functionality and provides a
default implementation (Universal GEMM)
- Child classes for GEMM variants override virtual functions to handle
variant-specific behavior
This refactoring in this PR follows the same process and should greatly
reduce the duplicated code present in Tile Engine and make it simpler to
add in new operations, increasing scalability.
## Technical Details
The files have been refactored around new base structs for benchmarks,
profiling and problem descriptions. The new base structs are:
- GemmProblem
- GemmBenchmark
- GemmProfiler
Universal GEMM, Preshuffle GEMM, and Multi-D GEMM all have child classes
that will inherit from these base structs overriding only what differs
per variant.
All common functions across the benchmarking and profiling files have
been moved into newly added common utility files under the commons/
directory. The new utility files are:
- utils.hpp: common functions for the benchmarking and profiling process
- benchmark_utils.py: common utility functions for the benchmark
generation
## Test Plan
I tested using the existing tests for Tile Engine.
## Test Result
All tests passed.

[CK] Skip fp16 dropout d256 batch tests for compiler VGPR
aliasing bug (#6342)
## Summary
- Skip fp16 FMHA forward dropout tests that use the d256 tile in batch
mode, gated on compiler version
- The AMDGPU compiler miscompiles these kernels due to VGPR aliasing of
Philox RNG parameters under high register pressure (383 VGPRs)
- bf16 dropout tests are unaffected and cover the same code paths
## Root Cause
The compiler aliases `ph_seed` and `ph_head_offset` (Philox RNG state
stored in VGPRs) with other live data during the softmax main loop. This
causes corrupted `buffer_store_byte` writes for dropout randval on wave
lanes 32-63, producing NaN in output and LSE tensors.
**Conditions:** fp16 + d256 tile + dropout + batch mode + `qr` pipeline
+ gfx90a
## Changes
- `include/ck_tile/core/config.hpp`: Add
`CK_TILE_WORKAROUND_ROCM_7_12_FP16_DROPOUT_MISCOMPILE` macro
- `test/ck_tile/fmha/test_fmha_fwd.cpp`: Version-gated `GTEST_SKIP` in
`TEST_P(Dropout, ...)`
## Test plan
- [x] ROCm 7.1.1 (clang 20): 168/168 fp16 dropout tests PASS (no skip
active)
- [x] ROCm 7.12 (clang 22): 132 PASS, 36 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED
- [x] bf16 dropout tests: 168/168 PASS (unaffected by this change)
[CK][CK TILE] Modify elementwise kernel template signature to
accept independent type arguments (#6399)
## Motivation
modify elementwise kernel template signature to fix cshuffle epilogue
build error
## Technical Details
Encountered a build error while building conv fallback kernel with
dispatcher.
Error: Type mismatch in `ElementWiseKernel::operator()` where the
template required all three parameters (lens, input_strides,
output_strides) to be the same type, but the CShuffle epilogue was
passing them with different tuple element types.
Solution: Modified the template signature in elementwise_kernel.hpp to
accept three independent type parameters:
Changed from single typename `Dims` to typename `DimsLens`, typename
`DimsInStrides`, typename `DimsOutStrides`
Updated references to `Dims::size()` to use the appropriate specific
type
## Test Plan
- Test with dispatcher conv unit tests
- Relying on CI tests
## Test Result
- Dispatcher unit tests passed
- Relying on CI tests

[MIOPEN] [CK] Revert "[CK] Disable test cases affected by
compiler codegen bugs on gfx90a" (#6400)
Reverts ROCm/rocm-libraries#6343

[CK] Disable compilation of problematic bwd weight conv
instances for gfx90a (#6343)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
## Motivation
Due to compiler version update, there are test failures in the test
suite `test_grouped_convnd_bwd_weight` when running on `gfx90a`. There
are four failing tests for FP16/BF16 that arise from a single kernel
instance. As the problem is in the current `develop` branch, the test
failures are blocking any PR merges into `develop`. An example of a
failed CI runs is here:
[http://micimaster.amd.com/blue/organizations/jenkins/rocm-libraries-folder%2FComposable%20Kernel/detail/develop/558/pipeline/](http://micimaster.amd.com/blue/organizations/jenkins/rocm-libraries-folder%2FComposable%20Kernel/detail/develop/558/pipeline/).
The underlying compiler problem is potentially the same as described in
#6342 as tests are passing for clang compiler version 20.0 and failing
for clang compiler version 22.0.
## Technical Details
This PR disables the compilation of the problematic bwd weight conv
instance for `gfx90a` by adding a new CMake flag `CK_USE_GFX90A` that
allows us to detect when we are compiling for `gfx90a`. Using the new
CMake flag, compilation of instance
`DeviceGroupedConvBwdWeight_Xdl_CShuffleV3<64, 128, 32, 32, Default, 8,
4, 1, 8, 8, 8, 8, 1, 1, 2>` is disabled for `gfx90a`.

[CK_TILE] Optimize FMHA head-dim padded path on gfx11/gfx12
(#6156)
## Motivation
On gfx11/gfx12, FMHA forward kernels that require head-dim padding show
a large performance drop compared to the exact-head-dim path. In
practice, padded cases such as `HDIM=72` and `HDIM=80` were falling too
far off the fast path.
This PR improves padded-head-dim FMHA performance on gfx11/gfx12 while
keeping the behavior for other GPUs unchanged.
## Technical Details
- Add/scope a dedicated padded-head-dim (`qr_hpad`) FMHA forward path
for gfx11/gfx12.
- For `receipt=0`, keep support conservative and only enable the padded
fast path for vector-safe cases (`head_dim % 8 == 0`), matching the
existing assumption used on other GPUs.
- Move `v_prefetch` later only for the head-dim-padded path on
gfx11/gfx12. This reduces live ranges and removes the register-spill
behavior seen in the earlier scheduling.
- Enable the buffer-load OOB check offset trick for the padded path on

[CK_TILLE] Temporarily remove batch prefill KV cache overflow
asserts (#6201)
## Summary
- Temporarily remove the KV cache offset overflow assert checks in
`FmhaBatchPrefillWithPagedKVCacheKernel`
- The asserts are **correct**, but they block project progress in
certain configurations
- This is a **temporary workaround** to unblock progress; a proper fix
will follow
## Note
This is NOT a permanent solution. A follow-up PR will add proper
overflow handling that addresses the underlying issue without blocking
progress.
Add missing gfx1033 to gfx103 group definition in ck
## Motivation
Resolving PyTorch build failures when enabling builds for gfx103X-all
family in TheRock. https://github.com/ROCm/TheRock/pull/3763. `gfx1033`
is the only failing architecture in the family and the failures point to
missing support in CK.
## Technical Details
PyTorch build fails with repeated error message
```
/__w/TheRock/TheRock/external-builds/pytorch/pytorch/aten/src/ATen/../../../third_party/composable_kernel/include/ck/utility/amd_buffer_addressing_builtins.hpp:33:48: error: use of undeclared identifier 'CK_BUFFER_RESOURCE_3RD_DWORD'
33 | wave_buffer_resource.config(Number<3>{}) = CK_BUFFER_RESOURCE_3RD_DWORD;
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
```
`gfx1033` is missing from the `__gfx103__` group which results in
`CK_BUFFER_RESOURCE_3RD_DWORD` never being defined for it. Adding in
`gfx1033` to the missing files which should be the minimum fix to allow
torch builds to pass.
## Test Plan
Compile sample test file and target gfx1033
```
...
#ifdef __HIP_DEVICE_COMPILE__
static_assert(CK_BUFFER_RESOURCE_3RD_DWORD == 0x31014000, "wrong device value");
#else
static_assert(CK_BUFFER_RESOURCE_3RD_DWORD == -1, "wrong host value");
#endif
```
## Test Result
Prior to the applying patch, compilation fails with `error: use of
undeclared identifier 'CK_BUFFER_RESOURCE_3RD_DWORD'`
After applying patch, test file compiles successfully.

[CK Tile] Fix architecture-dependent EightWave assignment in
cshuffle_epilogue (#6102)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
## Motivation
Tile engine CI build on the develop branch started failing after a
recent change(https://github.com/ROCm/rocm-libraries/pull/5218) in
`cshuffle_epilogue.hpp`. The `EightWave` constant was unconditionally
computed as `(MWave * NWave == 8)` for all architectures, but this logic
is only valid for gfx9*. On other architectures (e.g., gfx1201),
`EightWave` must always be `false`, otherwise it leads to incorrect
`BlockedXDLN_PerWarp` computation and build failures.
## Technical Details
In `cshuffle_epilogue.hpp`, the `EightWave` static constexpr was set as:
```cpp
static constexpr bool EightWave = (MWave * NWave == 8);
```
This was applied regardless of the target GPU architecture. The fix uses
a preprocessor guard to make this architecture-aware:
- **gfx9* (`__gfx9__`):** `EightWave` is evaluated as `(MWave * NWave ==
8)` — true or false depending on the wave configuration
- **All other architectures:** `EightWave` defaults to `false`
## Test Plan
- Tile engine CI build on develop branch
## Test Result
- *Pending CI*

[CK] Fix async pivot mismatch in persistent GEMM kernel
scheduler (#5776)
## Motivation
Fix pivot mismatch in the persistent GEMM kernel's async input scheduler
that causes **GPU hangs** and incorrect results when used with AsyncTP
(Asynchronous Tensor Parallelism) on ROCm.
PyTorch's `_fused_all_gather_matmul_native` uses this persistent GEMM
kernel with chunk signals to overlap communication and computation. The
pivot mechanism ensures each rank starts computing from its own local
shard first (which is already available), then moves to remote chunks as
they arrive over the network.
Because of the pivot mismatch, the kernel frequently waits on signals
for chunks that have not yet arrived, while attempting to read data from
completely different chunks. This synchronization desync reliably
triggers infinite hangs during multi-GPU native AsyncTP execution. This
fix is required to enable functional AsyncTP support on ROCm.
## Technical Details
In the persistent kernel loop (`UniversalGemmKernel::operator()`), the
M-tile coordinate used for data selection (`i_m`) and the M-tile
coordinate used for the chunk-signal wait (`chunk_idx`) were derived
from inconsistent bases:
* `i_m` was computed from the **unpivoted** tile index `iM`.
* `chunk_idx` was computed from the **pivoted** expression `(iM +
tile_idx_pivot)`.
This means the kernel could wait for chunk N's signal but then read from
chunk M's memory, or vice versa. The mismatch scales with GPU count:
with 2 GPUs ~50% of tiles are wrong, with 4 GPUs ~75%, etc.
**The Fix:**
Introduce a single pivoted M-tile index (`iM_eff`) and derive both `i_m`
and `chunk_idx` from it. This guarantees the kernel always waits for the
correct chunk before reading its data.
*(Note: Minor cosmetic `clang-format` changes were also pulled in
alongside the fix).*
## Test Plan
1. Build PyTorch with this CK change.
2. Run the specific multi-GPU AsyncTP native test:
`timeout 180s env HIP_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 pytest
test/distributed/test_symmetric_memory.py -k
test_fused_all_gather_matmul_native -q -s -x`
## Test Result
Tests verify correct overlapping execution without hangs or accuracy
mismatches when running the AsyncTP native path with non-zero pivots.

[CK_TILE] Fix FMHA BWD IGLP incorrect results due to AGPR
misallocation (#5991)
## Motivation
After PR #5790 removed the `if constexpr(FmhaMask::IsMasking)` guard
around the
`num_total_loop <= 0` early-exit check, the IGLP pipeline
(`BlockFmhaBwdDQDKDVPipelineKRKTRVRIGLP`) produces incorrect dK/dV
gradients for
non-masking kernels (even with fix in #5915). Assembly inspection
confirms that the CFG change causes the LLVM
register allocator to reuse AGPR accumulators as scratch destinations in
the dK/dV
reduction loop, breaking the loop-carried accumulation across Q-tile
iterations.
## Technical Details
- Add `[[unlikely]]` to the `num_total_loop <= 0` early-exit in
`BlockFmhaBwdDQDKDVPipelineKRKTRVRIGLP`. This attribute is load-bearing:
it
restores the CFG shape that the register allocator needs to correctly
assign
dedicated AGPRs to each column of the dK/dV accumulator.
- Only the IGLP pipeline is affected; the other two BWD pipelines do not
exhibit
this issue.

[CK_TILE] Changed cshuffle LDS descriptor to naive layout
(#5729)
## Motivation
This PR changes gemm/convolution cshuffle layout into plain one. to
improve cshuffle operation performance.
## Technical Details
The purpose is that before this change the cshuffle layout was having
some descriptor transformations that were probably aimed at reducing LDS
bank conflicts, but the transformations itself were terribly slow, which
negatively impacted the performance.
## Test Plan
There is no need for additional tests, since current tests cover this
functionality.
[CK] fix clang lifetimebound errors with staging compiler
(#5921)
## Motivation
The ROCm staging compiler (newer Clang) enforces
`[[clang::lifetimebound]]` annotations on methods that return references
or pointers to internal object data. Without these annotations, the
staging compiler emits compilation errors for container accessor methods
across the CK and CK Tile namespaces.
## Technical Details
Adds `[[clang::lifetimebound]]` to all reference/pointer-returning
accessors in core container types:
**`ck::` namespace:**
- `Array` -- `At()`, `operator[]`, `operator()`, `begin()`, `end()`
- `index_array` -- `operator[]`
- `StaticallyIndexedArray_v2` -- `At()`, `operator[]`, `operator()`
- `IndexLookupTable` -- `operator[]`
**`ck_tile::` namespace:**
- `array` -- `get(i)`, `at()`, `operator[]`, `operator()`
- `static_array` -- `operator[]`
- `thread_buffer` -- `get(i)`, `at()`, `operator[]`, `operator()`
- `make_kernel()` -- parameter pack
Also removes the unused `instance_index` variable from
`batched_gemm_reduce_fp16.cpp` and simplifies its argument parsing
accordingly.
## Test Plan
- Compile with the staging compiler to verify all lifetimebound errors
are resolved
- Existing tests pass unchanged -- the attribute is a compile-time
annotation with no runtime effect

[CK_TILE] Fix FMHA BWD register pressure by wrapping
num_total_loop with amd_wave_read_first_lane (#5915)
## Motivation
In three FMHA backward pipelines, `num_total_loop` is computed without
`amd_wave_read_first_lane()`, so the compiler treats it as a VGPR even
though it is logically uniform across all lanes. This raises register
pressure, and under high pressure the compiler may reuse VGPRs across
overlapping live ranges. This was confirmed via assembly inspection: the
compiler reused `v52:v53` as both the B-matrix input for dK MFMAs and an
intermediate value for dV, producing incorrect dK/dV gradients.
## Technical Details
Wrap `num_total_loop` with `amd_wave_read_first_lane()` in three
pipelines:
- `block_fmha_bwd_dq_dk_dv_pipeline_kr_ktr_vr`
- `block_fmha_bwd_dq_dk_dv_pipeline_kr_ktr_vr_iglp`
- `block_fmha_bwd_dq_dk_dv_pipeline_trload_kr_ktr_vr`
This promotes `num_total_loop` to an SGPR, eliminating the excess
register pressure and the incorrect VGPR reuse.

[CK_TILE] Fix NaN for FMHA BWD When seq_q=0
## Motivation
This PR addresses NaNs in the FMHA backward (dQ/dK/dV) path when the
effective query sequence length for a tile is zero, by ensuring the
per-tile pipelines exit early with zeroed accumulators and by avoiding
an early kernel return that prevented writing out cleared gradients.
## Technical Details
- Add unconditional early-exit in the dK/dV pipelines when
`num_total_loop <= 0` (no work), returning zeroed accumulators.
- Adjust group-mode kernel early-return logic to only return when
**both** `seqlen_q` and `seqlen_k` are zero, allowing blocks to run and
store cleared dK/dV when `seqlen_q == 0`.

[CK_TILE, CK_BUILDER] Add bwd data to CK Tile profiler
(#5516)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
## Motivation
We want close the performance gap between old CK and CK Tile for bwd
data convolutions. To achieve this, we need tow things
- Configurations for the old CK kernel instances such that we can map
them into CK Tile instances.
- Support in CK profiler to run the CK Tile instance with the same API
as for old CK instances.
## Technical Details
Extracted kernel configurations from old CK. The codegen python script
for CK Tile convs is extended to support also bwd data. The generated
instances are added to the CMake build (target
`device_grouped_conv_bwd_data_tile_instances`).
A new profiler op (`grouped_conv_bwd_data_tile`) has been added to the
CK Profiler. The API is same as for old CK's profiler op
`grouped_conv_bwd_data`.

[CK_TILE] Rename Stream-K grid function
## Motivation
This PR introduces a change in the name of the get_grid function in the
Stream-K TilePartitioner to avoid confusion with a similarly named
method. In the Stream-K TilePartitioner, there is get_grid() which
returns num_cu*occupancy and there is grid_size() which returns the grid
size used to launch the kernel. In this PR, we change get_grid() to be
get_max_active_wgs() to better reflect what the function returns and not
confuse it with grid_size().
## Technical Details
Initially in the Stream-K TilePartitioner we had get_grid() which
returned grid_. We are renaming get_grid() to get_max_active_wgs() and
grid_ to max_active_wgs_ internally, while keeping grid_size() the same.
The parameter, grid, for the Stream-K TilePartitioner remains the same
to maintain consistency with the rest of the Stream-K API.

[CK_TILE] Add LLC-aware FMHA head grouping and head-major
scheduling on RDNA (#5018)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
## Motivation
Long-sequence FMHA can become memory-bound when K/V working sets exceed
Infinity Cache (LLC), causing repeated DRAM traffic across heads.
This PR introduces LLC-aware launch ordering improvements for FMHA
forward, and it is currently enabled only on gfx11 and gfx12. The
approach is inspired by
[`Dao-AILab/flash-attention#2217`](https://github.com/Dao-AILab/flash-attention/pull/2217),
adapted to CK’s kernel/runner structure and layout handling.
In this context, `bshd` is the layout used in Flash-Attention, while
`bhsd` is the default layout used by the CK Tile FMHA example.
## Technical Details
This PR adds two complementary strategies:
- For `bshd` input layout (`i_perm/o_perm=0`), enable explicit LLC-aware
head grouping:
- Estimate LLC size (env override, KFD sysfs, or arch default).
- Compute group size from K/V bytes per head vs LLC target.
- Launch FMHA forward repeatedly per head-group by slicing Q/K/V/O (and
related tensors).
- For `bhsd` input layout (`i_perm/o_perm=1`), apply implicit
launch-order adjustment:
- Keep a single kernel launch.
- Reinterpret block linearization in `GetTileIndex` to make execution
head-major,
improving temporal locality of per-head K/V reuse.
Additional integration updates:
- Propagate `num_head_q_total` and `head_start` through FMHA args/kargs.
- Use global head indexing for dropout RNG stream mapping so grouped
launches keep
deterministic/consistent dropout behavior.
- Keep fallback behavior unchanged when grouping is not beneficial or
disabled.
## Test Plan
- `test_ck_tile_fmha`
- `tile_example_fmha_fwd`
## Test Result
- `test_ck_tile_fmha`: all tests passed.
- `tile_example_fmha_fwd`: tested this on gfx1100, gfx1151, and gfx1201,
and all of them show higher performance compared to the baseline. The
improvement is consistent, and performance is well maintained even at
long sequence lengths.

[CK Tile] Eight Waves pipeline GEMM
## Motivation
Eight waves pipeline was added for ABQuant. The goal of this PR is to
enable it also for GEMM
## Technical Details
Summary:
- Block:
- Create block struct for GEMM using eight warps specific distribution
encodings
- Use this block struct in ABQuant for encodings
- Pipeline:
- Create impl pipeline for eight waves which can be used by GEMM and
ABQuant as base (and for AQuant and BQuant in the future)
- Create eight waves pipeline for GEMM (this can not be easily
integrated in the existing async pipeline)
- Pipeline policy:
- Extract GEMM specific parts in the ABQuant policy to define GEMM
policy (then ABQuant use it as base and add Quant specific methods)
- Minor: naming was inconsistent between warp/wave, everything is now
referred to as eight waves
So overall we have:
- block struct directly used by GEMM -> ABQuant derived struct to
implement operator
- Impl base pipeline with general implementation -> GEMM and ABQuant
pipelines use it to avoid code duplication but still define their own
pipelines
- pipeline policy struct directly used by GEMM -> ABQuant derived policy
struct for Quant specific parts
## Test Plan
Added new tests for GEMM pipeline:
`test_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_comp_async_eight_waves` (only gfx950
supports it).
Note: K padding test is disabled for this pipeline because it's not
implemented yet

ops required for the two-stage kernels. Extended the CK Builder for CK
Tile instance to accept the two-stage flag as part of the algorithm
configuration.
## Test Plan
Added units tests for CK Builder that verify the two-stage kernel
construction.
## Test Result
If CI passes, the added unit tests are passing.

[CK TILE] Skip work if any of Grouped GEMM groups M/N/K are
zero. (#5050)
## Motivation
It's common in MoE workloads that some experts receive zero tokens,
which would result in some of the dimensions equal to zero. Currently we
handle such case only for non-persistent kernels where we have all GEMMs
information beforehand on host - we validate this during creation of
kernel arguments. However for the "dynamic" input path (persistent
kernel) this information is not available before kernel launch. Thus we
have to validate this during kernel execution. The goal is to add this
validation.
## Technical Details
Skip work if any of Grouped GEMM groups M/N/K are zero for persistent
kernel path.
## Test Plan
Add unit-tests which cover "dynamic" inputs with zero dims for
persistent kernel execution path.
## Test Result
All tests pass.
