[CK_TILE] Add host-side Pack-GQA optimization for FMHA forward (#6533) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit [CK_TILE] Add host-side Pack-GQA optimization for FMHA forward ## Motivation Host-side Pack-GQA optimization for CK-Tile FMHA forward. Reshapes Q tensor from `[b, nhead_q, seqlen_q, d]` to `[b, nhead_kv, nhead_ratio * seqlen_q, d]` by adjusting strides, so grouped Q-heads sharing the same KV data are processed in a single tile. Zero kernel changes — runner-only. Phase 1: non-causal attention with GQA ratio packing. Phase 2: extends to dropout and split-kv paths, fixes stride edge cases. ## Technical Details Modified files (2): - `example/ck_tile/01_fmha/example_fmha_fwd.cpp` — Pack-GQA flag plumbing - `example/ck_tile/01_fmha/fmha_fwd_runner.hpp` — Q tensor reshape logic, stride adjustment for GQA ratio packing New files (1): - `example/ck_tile/01_fmha/test_pack_gqa_phase2.sh` — 53 test cases covering non-causal, dropout, split-kv, various GQA ratios ## Dependencies None — this PR is standalone. ## Test Plan - GPU validation on MI300X (gfx942, ROCm 6.4.1): - Command: `./build/bin/tile_example_fmha_fwd -b=2 -h=32 -h_k=8 -s=2048 -d=128 -prec=bf16 -mode=group -v=1 -warmup=1 -repeat=3` - GPU validation on MI350X (gfx950, ROCm 7.0), 53 parameterized test cases: - Command (GQA 4:1): `./build/bin/tile_example_fmha_fwd -b=2 -h=32 -h_k=8 -s=2048 -d=128 -prec=bf16 -mode=group -v=1 -warmup=1 -repeat=3` - Command (GQA 8:1): `./build/bin/tile_example_fmha_fwd -b=2 -h=64 -h_k=8 -s=2048 -d=128 -prec=bf16 -mode=group -v=1 -warmup=1 -repeat=3` - Command (decode): `./build/bin/tile_example_fmha_fwd -b=64 -h=32 -h_k=8 -s=1 -s_k=4096 -d=128 -prec=bf16 -mode=group -v=1 -warmup=1 -repeat=3` ## Test Result Benchmark results (MI350X, gfx950, ROCm 7.0): | Config | Without Pack | With Pack | Improvement | |--------|-------------|-----------|-------------| | GQA 4:1 prefill b=2 h=32 hk=8 s=2048 d=128 bf16 | 690.05 TFlops (0.199 ms) | 695.61 TFlops (0.198 ms) | +0.8% | | GQA 8:1 prefill b=2 h=64 hk=8 s=2048 d=128 bf16 | 706.25 TFlops (0.389 ms) | 729.35 TFlops (0.377 ms) | +3.3% | | GQA 8:1 decode b=64 h=32 hk=4 s_k=4096 d=128 bf16 | 305.20 GB/s (1.763 ms) | 1813.41 GB/s (0.297 ms) | **+5.9x** | | LLaMA-70B decode b=32 h=64 hk=8 s_k=4096 d=128 bf16 | 591.70 GB/s (0.909 ms) | 1820.65 GB/s (0.295 ms) | **+3.1x** | | MHA ratio=1 b=2 h=8 s=4096 d=128 bf16 | 695.16 TFlops | 702.72 TFlops | no regression | Benchmark results (MI300X, gfx942, ROCm 6.4.1): No regression on MI300X. Pack-GQA is a runner-only optimization (zero kernel changes), performance impact is within noise on MI300X. | Config | TFlops / GB/s | Time (ms) | Delta vs baseline | |--------|-------------|-----------|-------------------| | MHA bf16 b=2 h=8 s=4096 d=128 | 336.52 TFlops | 0.408 | -1.7% | | GQA 4:1 bf16 b=2 h=32 hk=8 s=2048 d=128 | 322.52 TFlops | 0.426 | -0.7% | | GQA 8:1 bf16 b=2 h=64 hk=8 s=2048 d=128 | 349.85 TFlops | 0.786 | +0.5% | | LLaMA-70B prefill b=1 h=64 hk=8 s=4096 d=128 bf16 | 381.29 TFlops | 1.442 | +1.2% | | Decode b=64 h=32 hk=8 s_k=4096 d=128 bf16 | 697.32 GB/s | 1.541 | +0.8% | All validation tests pass (`valid:y`) on both MI300X and MI350X. Additional validation: - 53 parameterized test cases pass (23 phase 1 + 30 phase 2) - GQA ratios tested: 1:1, 2:1, 4:1, 8:1, 32:1 - No regression on MHA (ratio=1) workloads - fp16 and bf16 validated
CK Tile Example Suite
This directory contains a comprehensive suite of examples demonstrating the CK Tile programming model for high-performance GPU kernels. Each example illustrates a key deep learning or HPC operation, implemented using tile-based parallelism, modular pipelines, and data movement policy.
What is CK Tile?
CK Tile is a composable GPU programming API that expresses kernels as a composition of "tiles"—rectangular blocks of computation and data movement. The pipeline & policy orchestrates data movement (global <-> LDS <-> registers), computation, and synchronization, enabling high efficiency and flexibility.
