Description

Add native BF16 and FP16 support to the GVR V2 self-sampling top-K kernels (indexer scores). The branch is based on main at c492171, which includes #20106 and #20998.

• Decode: TopK routes BF16 and FP16 scores to selfsampling_topk_run_varlen; with gvr_deterministic it widens them (exactly) into a float4-aligned FP32 view, since the deterministic engine is FP32-only. Prefill: the engine (run_prefill, prefill_ready, warmup_prefill) accepts BF16 and FP16; the TopK prefill gate stays FP32 and is opened in a follow-up PR.
• FP32, BF16 and FP16 share the four kernel templates and the host module. dtype, vector width and refinement are compile-time parameters; compile caches are keyed by dtype. 16-bit-only kernels and helpers live in four new modules: packed_clamp_window_bf16, warp_histogram_scan_bf16, gvr_fp16_primitives and gvr_fp16_cross_prefix.
• FP32 is unchanged against main: launcher decisions, generated code (PTX, cubin, SASS of every FP32 and deterministic compile request) and timing are identical. 16-bit-only temporaries use names and guards the deterministic FP32 arm never binds, so every dynamic-region join of the shared templates is type-stable for all builds.

16-bit kernel path

• 16-byte bf16x8 / f16x8 loads, packed 16-bit compares, 16-bit key/index packing. Values are widened in registers; output values stay FP32.
• Rows with K+1..K+3 valid elements use a small excluded-minima/complement kernel (FP16: output-centric emission, 128-thread CTAs above 148 rows).
• Input contract: 16-byte-aligned base, unit inner stride, row stride a multiple of 8 elements. The caller converts to BF16 or FP16. Explicit warmup supports CUDA Graph replay with changing KV lengths.

BF16

Indexer scores are ~98% negative and the K-th value sits where the BF16 spacing is 2^-8..2^-7, so 12-22 elements typically tie at the K-th. With the FP32 bin scheme the whole-bin exit almost never fires and the kernel falls into the O(m^2) crossing-bin refinement. The BF16 paths therefore work on BF16 codes:

• reg: bits-domain window with one BF16 code per bin, on the side of zero predicted from the sign bits of the register batch; the crossing bin is single-valued and emitted whole. Small-batch register rows at K=512/1024 can split the emit over 2 or 4 CTAs per row (partitioned emit: per-partition histogram copies and cursors). Most K=2048 register plans up to N~16K and many small-batch K=512/1024 register plans take the code-radix register mode (two 8-bit digit passes, cursor emit, no sampling).
• Packed clamp window kernel (packed_clamp_window_bf16, register plans at K=512/1024/2048 for N 2K-16K and up to 64 rows): the row stays in registers as packed BF16 pairs; a sampled anchor places a window of raw codes on the K-th side of zero and out-of-window codes clamp into the edge bins, so the histogram is one pass of packed integer arithmetic; an interior crossing bin is emitted directly, otherwise the row takes an exact radix select. It needs a 64-element row stride; other rows take the reg kernel.
• reg_clus (K=2048): the same window with a block-gathered side predictor; clus: classification with setp.ge.bf16x2 against the BF16 ceiling of the threshold; main: the dense exact-code window anchored at the sampled K-th.

FP16

FP16 codes are 8x denser than BF16 codes over the indexer score range, so one-code-per-bin windows that are wide in BF16 are narrow in FP16. FP16 therefore leans on the data-independent code-radix select:

• Code-radix register plans for most FP16 register rows, including cluster plans (2, 4 or 8 CTAs per row) for N 8K-256K at small batch: each CTA builds the 256-bin histogram of its slice, pushes it to its peers over DSMEM, and the two 8-bit digit passes run on the merged histogram. These replace reg_clus for FP16; the N~256K cluster plan is used up to 8 rows (main is faster at 16).
• main: the dense exact-code window uses 8x the bins on 1024-thread builds and 2x on 256/512-thread builds; the sample geometry is fixed at compile time from host-computed sizes (envelope-sized on 256-thread builds), and most unsplit builds record survivors with a packed 16-bit walk.
• FP16 constants where the BF16 arithmetic relied on BF16 being the FP32 high half: -inf fills (0xFC00 pairs), the window minimum, the bin-proof magnitude guards, the key spacing and the NaN masks.

_REG_CODE_RADIX_16BIT turns the code-radix register routes off (both dtypes); _REG_CODE_RADIX_FORCE forces either register mode for tests.

Prefill

Decode and prefill share GvrMainKernel. The prefill window base is rounded down to one 16-byte vector (4 FP32 / 8 16-bit elements) with the lead lanes masked. For 16-bit scores the row base is shifted to that boundary and thread 0's sample replaces its lead lanes with the first in-window lane. 16-bit prefill uses the 16-bit streaming plan and the r_const == 1 tuning scalars of the decode launcher; the launcher cache is keyed by dtype.

Performance (B200, cold L2)

9,746 real indexer rows (886 captures x 11 batch sizes 1..1024), nsys kernel time, 512 MiB L2 eviction before every timed call, 24 repetitions, FP32 and the 16-bit dtype interleaved in one process. FP32 = main at c492171. Speedup = FP32 time / 16-bit time; the BF16 and FP16 inputs are the FP32 capture cast once (round to nearest even). All cases are exact against torch.topk on the 16-bit input (ties may differ in index).

Walkthrough

GVR Top-K adds native BF16 support across Blackwell kernel families, host routing, varlen and prefill APIs, and warmup. The change adds dtype-specific alignment and cache handling, a BF16 complement kernel, and expanded routing and execution tests.

Changes

BF16 GVR Top-K

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Main-family dtype and vector kernel paths tensorrt_llm/_torch/kernels/blackwell/top_k/gvr_topk_decode_self_sampling.py	The main kernel adds BF16 vector processing, dtype-aware sampling and candidate paths, and optional dense bins and staged output.
Register-family kernel policies and output tensorrt_llm/_torch/kernels/blackwell/top_k/gvr_topk_decode_self_sampling.py	The register kernel adds BF16 classification and refinement paths, configurable bracket policies, and optional staged output.
Clustered kernel dtype support tensorrt_llm/_torch/kernels/blackwell/top_k/gvr_topk_decode_self_sampling.py	The clustered main-family kernel adds BF16 vector processing and dtype-specific compilation.
Register-cluster and complement kernels tensorrt_llm/_torch/kernels/blackwell/top_k/gvr_topk_decode_self_sampling.py	The register-cluster kernel adds BF16 histogram and refinement paths. A BF16 complement kernel selects indices for small capture envelopes.
Host routing and launcher specialization tensorrt_llm/_torch/kernels/blackwell/top_k/gvr_topk_decode_self_sampling_host.py	Host routing adds BF16 dispatch plans, expands register routing, and selects dtype- and device-specific launchers.
Varlen, prefill, and warmup APIs tensorrt_llm/_torch/kernels/blackwell/top_k/gvr_topk_decode_self_sampling_host.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/modules/top_k.py	Varlen and prefill APIs add BF16 validation and dtype-aware launcher and warmup handling. The module gate checks dtype-specific alignment.
Routing and launch-plan validation tests/unittest/_torch/kernels/parallel/test_gvr_selfsampling_topk.py	Tests cover expanded routing envelopes, architecture boundaries, launch geometry, and histogram layouts.
BF16 execution, prefill, and warmup tests tests/unittest/_torch/kernels/parallel/test_gvr_selfsampling_topk.py	Tests cover BF16 prefill and varlen behavior, layout validation, cache isolation, warmup, and CUDA-graph replay.
Module dispatch and layout tests tests/unittest/_torch/modules/test_top_k.py	Tests verify self-sampling dispatch for aligned FP32 and BF16 inputs and radix fallback for unsupported or misaligned inputs.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 4e009

Decode with deterministic mode enabled now fails for aligned BF16 scores instead of falling back to radix decode. Fix the routing before merging. The BF16 extra histogram pass costs some performance on certain rows, and a few test assertions need tightening, but neither affects correctness.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The PR description is detailed and covers the what and why. It explains the native BF16 and FP16 support for the GVR V2 self-sampling top-K kernels, the decode and prefill routing, the four new helper modules, the FP32 unchanged guarantee, and the performance results. It also includes a Test Coverage section that lists specific test files, pass counts, and the hardware used. The template's required sections (Description, Test Coverage, PR Checklist) are all present. The PR title is not part of the description body, so it is not evaluated here. The description does not state explicit API-change labeling (api-compatible or api-breaking), though the public warmup signatures gain a dtype parameter per the summary. The description also notes that end-to-end model runs and SM103 validation are pending. The checklist is left unchecked, which the template asks the author to do after review. These gaps are minor and do not make the description incomplete.

Cover the host-selected BF16 (1024, 2, 4) plan.

The mixed-dtype test executes this device specialization directly, but it bypasses the host launcher. The BF16 exactness test has no case that selects this plan through run_varlen. Add the smallest case that also forces the changed 1024-bin choice: rows=16, ncols=65536, top_k=1024, next_n=1, and compress_ratio=1. Keep the existing exact index and output-value checks.

Assert that this test reaches the complement launcher.

The test name and docstring say it covers near-K complement selection. The test checks only exact output. Suppose a change to _varlen_launcher stops selecting "complement" for 0 < n_kernel - k <= 3. The register or streaming fallback would still return exact results, and this test would still pass. The complement kernel would then have no coverage.

Check the cached launcher family after the run:

💚 Proposed assertion

     ss_host.run_varlen(logits, kv_lens, indices, max_seq_len=ncols)
     torch.cuda.synchronize()
+    npad = logits.stride(0)
+    device = torch.cuda.current_device()
+    key = (rows, npad, top_k, ncols, 1, 1, device, ss_host._device_profile_key(device))
+    assert ss_host._VARLEN_CACHE_BF16[key][0] == "complement"
     _check_bf16_varlen_exact(logits, indices, lengths)

The family-named IDs in test_selfsampling_topk_varlen_bf16_exactness (for example regclus_cs16 and hybrid128) would also benefit from the same lc[0] check.

As per path instructions: "A test name, docstring, parameterization ... that does not match what the test actually validates."

Add assertions for the two uncovered BF16 paths.

Coverage summary:

• test_gvr_selfsampling_topk.py adds BF16 exactness, complement, CUDA-graph, layout-guard, cache-isolation, mixed-warmup, and mixed-regclus tests.
• It also expands the prefill tests to cover FP32 and BF16.
• l0_b200.yml already collects unittest/_torch/kernels/parallel, so no CI-list change is needed.
• test_selfsampling_topk_varlen_rejects_fp16 does not test BF16 rejection when deterministic=True.
• test_selfsampling_topk_varlen_bf16_complement uses near-K inputs but only checks output values. It does not assert that the complement launcher was selected.

Add a BF16 deterministic-rejection case and assert the cached launcher tag is complement (or intercept get_compiled_complement) in the complement test. Coverage is otherwise sufficient for the listed BF16 execution paths.

2355-2357: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a regression test for the BF16 deterministic and sorting rejection paths.

run_varlen now rejects BF16 logits when deterministic=True or sorting is set. The visible tests do not exercise this error path. The same rejection is new in run_prefill (Line 2684), warmup_varlen (Line 2859), warmup_prefill (Line 3027), and _varlen_launcher (Line 1563). A later refactor could route BF16 deterministic requests into _run_varlen_bf16. That function would silently ignore deterministic and sorting. The result would be nondeterministic or unsorted output with no error.

Add a CPU-light test in tests/unittest/_torch/kernels/parallel/test_gvr_selfsampling_topk.py. The test calls each entry point with BF16 inputs and deterministic=True, and calls run_varlen with deterministic=True, sorting="ascending". Each call must raise RuntimeError that matches "deterministic mode requires float32". No kernel compiles before the rejection, so the test is cheap.

As per path instructions: "A new or changed validation rule, error path, fallback ... with no meaningful test."
