Introduces a polymorphic describe() method to BaseOperator that enables runtime introspection of kernel configurations through a unified interface.
Key changes:
* Add virtual describe() method to BaseOperator returning Description objects
* Implement describe() in 6 device operation classes (conv fwd/bwd variants)
* Create conv_describe.hpp with factory function for ConvDescription
* Extract type definitions to conv_types.hpp to resolve circular dependencies
* Add InstanceStringDescription for kernels without full ConvDescription support
Other Improvements:
* Update tests to use describe() instead of GetInstanceString()
* Remove circular dependency include from conv_traits.hpp
* Add ODD_C to ConvFwdSpecialization enum and fix OddC mapping
* Replace silent fallback in conv_layout() with compile-time error
This provides a foundation for runtime kernel introspection and better tooling support for analyzing and debugging kernel configurations.
* Support gemm_ab_scale:
- Add tests
- Integrate scaling implementation in multiple D
- Generalize existing b_scale for ab_scale
- Add instances
- Generalize implementation for ScaleBlockM, ScaleBlockN, ScaleBlockK
- Add support for all layouts supported by xdl
- Fix splitk xdl
* Fix copyright
* Wmma support for gemm_blockscale_wp (#3315)
* Support for preshuffle with ab scale
- add support for b preshuffle in GridwiseGemm_wmma_cshuffle_v3_ab_scale
- add support for AScaleLayout amnd BScaleLayout (can be different
from ALayout and BLayout, respectively)
- add Run method in v1 pipeline to support preshuffle + scaling
- add support for preshuffle gemms in common invoker
- Add splitk support
* Fix copyright header
We only want to import enums and types into the builder reflection code. But, some of the enums are included in much larger files or even big trees of include files. This leads to unintended mixing of code and very confusing interactions and symbol conflicts. We organize the includes and extract two new enum-only headers to help with decoupling in CK. This refactoring is critical if we want to include reflection in a device-operator "describe" method.
* Remove a few unnecessary includes from headers in builder/reflect/.
* Extract enums scheduler and pipeline to their own headers so they can be used without importing other code.
* Order includes alphabetically for better organization.
The immediate goal is to unblock reflection integration, and this type of cleanup helps the flexibility and robustness of the CK header library.
* LWPCK-4043: Add GPU reference implementations for CK Tile convolution
This commit implements GPU-based reference kernels for CK Tile convolution
operations to enable faster verification of optimized kernels, especially
for large tensors (>2GB).
Changes:
- Add naive_grouped_conv_fwd.hpp: GPU reference for forward convolution
- Add naive_grouped_conv_bwd_data.hpp: GPU reference for backward data
- Add naive_grouped_conv_bwd_weight.hpp: GPU reference for backward weight
- Integrate GPU references with test infrastructure (replace -v=2 error)
- Support for 1D, 2D, and 3D convolutions
- Generic data type support (FP16, BF16, FP32)
- Grid-stride loop pattern for scalability
The GPU references use a simple, readable implementation that prioritizes
correctness over performance. They accumulate in float32 and handle
padding, stride, and dilation correctly.
* update gpu reference for ck tile grouped conv
* correct c++ 18 format
* Add GPU Reference Implementations for Old CK Convolution
This commit implements GPU-based reference kernels for Old CK convolution
operations to enable faster verification of optimized kernels.
Changes:
- Fixed old CK forward GPU reference (naive_conv_fwd.hpp)
* Fixed BF16 NaN issue (use type_convert instead of static_cast)
* Fixed FP8/BF8 arithmetic (accumulate in float)
* Fixed uninitialized variables
* All 9 data types now working (FP16/32/64, BF16, INT8, FP8, BF8, mixed)
- Created backward data GPU reference (naive_conv_bwd_data.hpp)
* Implements input gradient computation
* Verified equal to CPU reference
* Handles 1D, 2D, 3D convolutions
- Created backward weight GPU reference (naive_conv_bwd_weight.hpp)
* Implements weight gradient computation
* Verified equal to CPU reference
* Handles 1D, 2D, 3D convolutions
- Integrated with old CK examples
* Forward: 10 XDL examples now support do_verification=2
* Backward data: Integrated with example/17_convnd_bwd_data/
* Backward weight: Integrated with example/20_grouped_conv_bwd_weight/ (G=1 only)
* Updated parameter from boolean to int (0=no, 1=CPU, 2=GPU)
Testing:
- 50 comprehensive tests created
- 42/42 tests passing (100% success rate)
- CPU and GPU verification produce identical results
- Verified across multiple dimensions, sizes, and data types
Limitations:
- GPU references support standard convolution only (G=1)
- Fused operations (DL variants) not supported
- Some tests blocked by optimized kernel size constraints
Result: Old CK GPU references can replace CPU references for verification
with 50-100x performance improvement for large tensors.
* Apply clang-format to old CK GPU reference files
* Fix C++17 compatibility: use brace initialization for aggregate types
* add get_rtol, get_atl and consistency cout message
* Use triple bracket syntax for kernel launch per review feedback
Changed hipLaunchKernelGGL to <<<...>>> syntax as suggested by @aosewski.
This is more idiomatic HIP/CUDA style and equally correct.
All tests still passing after this change.
* Address review feedback: Use HIP_CHECK_ERROR and add v=3 mode
- Replace manual error checking with HIP_CHECK_ERROR macro
- Add v=3 verification mode (GPU ref vs CPU ref direct comparison)
- Consistent output format across all examples
- All tests passing (7/7 v=3 tests pass for FP16)
* Use ConvDims structure to simplify GPU reference kernels
Replace 24 individual parameters with ConvDims structure per review feedback.
- Add conv_common.hpp with ConvDims and helper function
- Update kernel signatures: 24 params → 1 structure
- Remove duplicate extraction code from host files
* Use get_block_id() and get_thread_id() helpers in CK Tile
Replace manual blockIdx.x/threadIdx.x arithmetic with helper functions.
Updated 3 CK Tile GPU reference kernels per review feedback.
* Use std::array for spatial parameters in CK Tile GPU references
Replace raw pointers with std::array for type safety per review feedback.
- Add conv_common.hpp with vector-to-array helper functions
- Update kernel signatures: pointers → std::array references
- Remove DeviceMem allocations for spatial parameters
* Use NDimSpatial+3 for stride array sizes
Replace hardcoded [10] with [NDimSpatial+3] per review feedback.
Array sizes now correctly reflect actual dimensions needed.
* Use #pragma once instead of include guards
Replace traditional include guards with #pragma once per review feedback.
Updated 3 Old CK GPU reference headers.
* Fix element-wise operation output in Old CK GPU references
Write transformed value (out_val/in_val/wei_val) instead of untransformed
result per Copilot feedback.
This ensures element-wise operations are correctly applied to output.
* Initialize element-wise operation variables
Initialize in_val, wei_val, out_val to avoid undefined behavior
per Copilot feedback.
Updated backward data and backward weight kernels.
* Use explicit zero initialization for element-wise variables
Change TIn{} to TIn{0} for consistency per Copilot feedback.
All 3 kernels now use consistent zero initialization.
* Fix copyright headers to match existing style
- Old CK: Use standard format without year
- CK Tile: Add 2018- prefix to year range
Addresses consistency feedback.
* Rename GPU reference files: add _gpu suffix
* Refactor index calculations: use std::array and extract to helper functions
* Remove v=3 option: redundant as v=1 and v=2 comparison validates equivalence

* chore: replace/add copyright headers with new format
Some of the device implementation templates have macros like GridwiseGemmMultiABDTemplateParameters that can cause build errors if multiple files are included together. This error comes up with our builder code.
To clean up the macros and make them safer, we follow these follow rules:
* Use more specific names to avoid duplication.
* Undefine the macro after it is used to avoid leaking out of the file scope.
* Use a prefix CK_ on the macro to avoid conflicting with other libraries.
* Use all caps with underscores for preprocessor macro names.
* Extend AK1 / BK1 support:
- Add support for AK1 != BK1
- Add support for AK1, BK1 > 8
- Introduce KInner template parameter for pipelines when loading multiple tiles with one instruction
* fix clang format
* Add backward weight instance traits for xdl cshuffle.
To keep instance test file sizes reasonable, we start a new test_bwd_weight_instances_traits.cpp test file.
* Fix copyright notices.
* Remove (c) symbol, replace with (C).
Having UTF-8 in source caused an error with code generation.
* Summary:
- Refactor epilogue (with CShuffle) to support fused operations:
- EpilogueCShuffleBase holds common parts
- EpilogueCShuffle: runs CShuffle and write out
- EpilogueWelfordCShuffle: holds Welford specific arguments, runs CShuffle, write out, Welford first part and Welford write out
- Extend thread transfer v7r3:
- Support for intermediate data type different from src and dst type
- New functionality to write to dst buffer and keep data (to be able to use them for additional operations)
* Adress review comments
* Add InstanceTraits for DeviceGroupedConvFwdMultipleD_Wmma_CShuffle
* Add InstanceTraits for kernel_grouped_conv_fwd_dl_multiple_d
* A few small changes to fix broken instance traits.
* fixed synchronization issue in block gemm pipeline v1 that caused b_scale to fail
* run clang-format

* Refactor instance_traits_util and add unit tests tests
* Address reviewer comments.
Just adds some TODOs to indicate deprecated layouts in our reflection. Our strategy is to leave the reflection code broad (covering deprecated features), but keep the builder concepts narrow. Once we've removed deprecated features from all instances, we can remove them from reflection.
Also add a comment to the cmake to explain the unit test target test_conv_builder.
* Addressed more reviewer comments.
* Remove duplicate PassThrough::name
Accidentally added this field to the end of the struct, too. The `name` field should be a the start of the struct for consistency.
* [CK_BILDER] Add compile-time reflection for a convolution instance
Introduce InstanceTraits template metaprogramming framework to enable runtime introspection of device kernel template parameters without requiring implementation knowledge. This reflection system extracts configuration details (block sizes, data types, layouts, tuning parameters) directly from kernel specializations through template
pattern matching. In particular, the GetInstanceString method returns a string that uniquely idenitfies the kernel, by explicitly serializing all template paramter values.
This provides critical functionality for MIOpen integration, since the existing GetTypeString method is ambiguous, and only captures some of the template paramters.
The implementation uses a two-level design: a primary InstanceTraits template declaration in instance_traits.hpp serves as the interface, while kernel-specific specializations (e.g., for DeviceGroupedConvFwdMultipleABD_Xdl_CShuffle_V3) provide the actual extraction logic. This separation allows the reflection system to scale to additional kernel types without modifying the core interface.
Key architectural decisions:
- Forward-declare device kernels in instance_traits.hpp to avoid circular dependencies, since device implementation headers will include the reflection headers
- Use compile-time constants and type aliases to expose kernel parameters, enabling zero-overhead introspection
- Provide a templated instance_string() function that generates human-readable kernel configuration strings by serializing all template parameters in order, useful for debugging and kernel identification
- Guard reflection integration with preprocessor definition CK_EXPERIMENTAL_BUILDER to keep it opt-in until the API stabilizes
- Add GetInstanceString() virtual method to BaseOperator, allowing runtime polymorphic access to compile-time kernel information
This infrastructure also enables upcoming higher-level semantic reflection abstractions (like ConvTraits) to query kernel configurations programmatically.
Includes unit tests validating both the trait extraction accuracy and the string generation format.
