WalkthroughThe PR adds fused attention-residual selection, residual addition, and BF16 RMSNorm for supported Kimi K3 decode shapes. It adds CUDA launch paths, Torch operators, model integration, correctness tests, and microbenchmarks. ChangesKimi K3 fused normalization
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The fused decode attention path may produce nondeterministic logits and probabilities because of a shared-memory synchronization race in the multi-chunk path, and boundary dispatch cases are not fully validated. This is not merge-ready until the race is fixed and the supported and rejected shape paths are explicitly tested. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

attn_res_rmsnorm_fwdandattn_res_add_rmsnorm_fwdrepeat the same decode-shape, dtype, contiguity, and weight-size checks. Only the operator name in the message and the extralayer_residual_addchecks differ. A single helper that takes the operator name keeps the two contracts from drifting when the supported shape set changes.Also applies to: 188-226

_note_attn_res_fusiondocuments that a rejected call is indistinguishable from a disabled one. The shape gate calls it. The dtype/device gate at Lines 425-430 and 475-483 and the missing-operator gate at Lines 440-443 and 490-493 returnNonewithout a log line. A benchmark that silently falls back for a dtype reason produces the same empty log as a build without the operator.Also applies to: 475-493

- Around line 1706-1711: Update invokeAttnResFwd to wrap cudaGetDevice with
TLLM_CUDA_CHECK, restore the early return for num_sm <= 0 or N > N_MAX, and
clamp the launch grid expression at num_sm - 1 so it remains at least 1 when
num_sm is 1.
- Around line 1799-1838: Update invokeAttnResDecodeRmsNorm and
invokeAttnResDecodeRmsNorm’s dispatch path to validate that params.seqLen and
params.batchSize equal 1 and params.hiddenSize equals 7168 before launching
kernels; report an error and return when the contract is violated. Replace the
default no-op for unsupported params.numCandidates with a loud validation
failure, while preserving the existing launches for supported candidate counts.

I will add layerwise benchmark in #17804 for microbenchmarking. I don't recommend using this fresh new way for test. I think we should follow existed convention of test. After my PR landing, we don't need this test then? Also I think we have e2e accuracy test, if it's already covered, we can omit it.

Can we find an exsited file to put unittest for this new kernel rather than create a new file? And we can simpilify test list to only test the main changes, so it's clear and clean.

Test all fused norm gate branches and prove fused dispatch.
The parity tests cover only N=4 and N=8. Add num_snapshots=11 for supported N=12, and add direct helper tests for rejected N=10 and N=11. Assert that the fused helpers return a result before comparing wrapper output, because the wrappers fall back when a helper returns None.
Test coverage summary:
- Added:
test_decode_rmsnorm_fusion_matches_unfused,test_decode_add_rmsnorm_fusion_matches_separate_add,test_decode_fusion_gate_skips_prefill,test_decode_norm_flag_keeps_unfused_path, andtest_decode_add_rmsnorm_cuda_graph_replay. - Removed: none.
- Test-list mapping: registered in
tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_gb300_multi_gpus.ymlandtests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_b200.yml; no matching QA entry. - Coverage verdict: insufficient.
Run pytest tests/unittest/ in supported GPU CI after adding the boundary and dispatch coverage.

Add a return annotation to _make_decode_case.

Fuse the decode attention-residual tail — residual add, attn-res selection, and trailing RMSNorm — into one kernel. Production decode uses trtllm::attn_res_rmsnorm_fwd / trtllm::attn_res_add_rmsnorm_fwd. Prefill and other shapes stay on attn_res_fwd + the production RMSNorm (the fused epilogue is 41–108% slower at large T).
Fires only for M=1, H=7168, N≤9 or N==12. Under DEP16, c16 (1 token/rank) hits the fused path; c256 (16 tokens/rank) is a no-op. This is a low-concurrency decode optimization, not a general speedup.
Versus the pre-change path (attn_res_fwd + production RMSNorm): relative_l2 0.26% (N=1/2/4/8), cosine ≈ 0.9999966, within one bf16 ulp (0.39%). Operator is 25–31% faster, 1.88–2.52 µs saved per call; 93 layers × 2 sites ≈ 0.41 ms/step. No end-to-end percentage — the millisecond is measured; TPOT is where the noise lives. GSM8K with KIMI_K3_FUSED_ATTN_RES_NORM: ON−OFF = −0.002 pp (n=7/6).
KIMI_K3_FUSED_ATTN_RES=0 falls back to the fp32 reference and cannot A/B this change. Use KIMI_K3_FUSED_ATTN_RES_NORM=0 (disable path 3, keep path 2). Startup logs fused= / fused_norm=. The microbenchmark now reports relative_l2_vs_three_kernel against the three-kernel path.
Test Coverage
Added unit tests covering:
fused output correctness;
bit-exact BF16 residual add;
N=1..9/12;
CUDA Graph replay;
PDL enabled and disabled;
unsupported-shape fallback.
Also added a GB300 microbenchmark comparing the original three-kernel path, the two-kernel path, and the final one-kernel path.
