Dev Engineer Review

  • Added the reusable TopK module for Torch, CUDA Radix, CuTe DSL Radix, CUDA GVR, and CuTe DSL GVR.
  • Centralized GVR state and reusable Radix/GVR workspace management.
  • Updated DSA Indexer and TriAttention to use shared Top-K dispatch.
  • Preserved the CUDA Radix fallback for compressed MTP decode.
  • Removed the obsolete use_custom_topk API and heuristic warmup export.
  • Updated DSA metadata, warmup handling, and prior-index state preservation.
  • Review focus: backend fallback conditions, buffer ownership, row-bound handling, and compatibility with callers of the removed use_custom_topk argument.
  • CI later completed successfully for commit 6edec12 in pipeline #54896.

QA Engineer Review

  • Added TopK unit tests for Torch prefill/decode behavior, CuTe DSL Radix fallback, GVR state handling, CUDA Radix dispatch, CUDA GVR workspace management, unsupported configurations, and error handling.
  • Updated DSA Indexer tests for Top-K selection, warmup dispatch, shared state, prefill/decode paths, cached requests, MTP paths, draft replay, and row ordering.
  • Test-list coverage in tests/integration/test_lists/ is not confirmed.
  • Verdict: needs follow-up.

Description

Sparse attention currently selects Top-K through backend-specific branches in the DSA Indexer, while GVR prior indices and scratch buffers live in shared attention metadata. TriAttention also calls the CuTe DSL Top-K operation directly. This makes implementation selection and state ownership fragmented across callers.

This PR introduces a reusable internal TopK module with Torch, CUDA Radix, CuTe DSL Radix, CUDA GVR, and CuTe DSL GVR implementations. The module provides one prefill/decode entry point, owns GVR runtime state, and preserves the CUDA Radix fallback for compressed MTP decode. DSA Indexer and TriAttention now instantiate and call this module instead of implementing their own dispatch. The existing model-engine warmup flow from main remains unchanged.

This builds on the sparse-attention backend refactor merged in #12733. The DSA, TriAttention, and test changes are included together because they are the production consumers of the shared module.

Test Coverage

  • tests/unittest/_torch/modules/test_top_k.py: 8 passed
  • DSA metadata warmup dispatch and Indexer/TopK ownership tests: 6 passed
  • test_triattention_selection_compaction.py::test_union_eager_cuda_resolves_heavy_ties_and_ragged_lengths[4-64]: 1 passed
  • Changed-file formatting, lint, Python syntax, DCO, and test-list AST validation passed

Walkthrough

The PR adds a shared TopK module with Torch, radix, and GVR implementations. DSA and TriAttention use it for prefill and decode selection. DSA removes heuristic and manual TopK paths, updates metadata handling, and expands test coverage.

Changes

Shared TopK selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
TopK abstraction and backend dispatch
tensorrt_llm/_torch/modules/top_k.py, tests/unittest/_torch/modules/test_top_k.py
Adds configurable Torch, CUDA radix, CuTe DSL radix, CUDA GVR, and CuTe DSL GVR implementations. Adds GVR state management, workspace handling, and Torch fallback behavior.
DSA TopK integration
tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention_backend/sparse/dsa/*, tests/unittest/_torch/attention/sparse/dsa/test_dsa_indexer.py
Routes DSA prefill and decode through self.top_k. Removes heuristic warmup, manual fallback paths, and the use_custom_topk parameter. Updates scheduler lengths, GVR state updates, draft-forward lifecycle handling, and related tests.
TriAttention selection integration
tensorrt_llm/_torch/kv_cache_compression/triattention/triattention.py, cpp/tensorrt_llm/thop/IndexerTopKOp.cpp
Configures CuTe DSL radix TopK and uses it for decode selection. Updates the radix scratch-buffer documentation.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bdb98

The refactor centralizes Top-K selection and GVR state, but the current code can allocate too few GVR prior-index rows when request capacity is smaller than the active decode batch, risking decode-time failures. Merge should wait for this capacity handling to be corrected or explicitly accepted; the remaining concerns are bounded test and maintenance follow-ups.

222-246: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Precompile GVR variants and use the indexer Top-K

  • Graph warmup precompiles GVR only for captured shapes. This guard skips heuristic mode, and the explicit helper invokes only cute_dsl_indexer_topk_decode. Cover eager, mixed-batch, and CUDA-graph-disabled paths before serving.
  • Pass the indexer’s index_topk to the radix warmup. DeepSeek V4 sets metadata.num_sparse_topk to window_size + max_compressed_indices[compress_ratio], which is 128 + index_topk for ratio 4. TopK uses index_topk, so the current warmup compiles an unused variant.

293-307: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Test coverage summary for tests/unittest/_torch/attention/sparse/dsa/test_dsa_indexer.py.

Added test functions: test_metadata_warmup_cute_dsl_radix_topk_dispatch, test_indexer_configures_one_top_k_module. Added helper: _set_torch_top_k.

Modified test functions: test_indexer_decode_custom_vs_fallback, test_indexer_decode_mtp_topk_reuse, test_indexer_prefill_chunked_custom_vs_fallback, test_indexer_prefill_single_pass_custom_vs_fallback, test_indexer_topk_multi_request_with_different_cache. Each dropped the removed use_custom_topk argument and now switches the fallback path through _set_torch_top_k. No test functions were removed.

Test-list status: this module already exists, so the modified tests keep their current entries. The two new test functions run as part of the same module, so no new entry under tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/ or tests/integration/test_lists/qa/ is required for them.

Coverage verdict: needs follow-up. test_indexer_configures_one_top_k_module asserts only the CUDA_RADIX default pair. The new dispatch branches in Indexer.__init__ that select CUTE_DSL_GVR, CUTE_DSL_RADIX, and CUDA_GVR (tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention_backend/sparse/dsa/indexer.py lines 634-643) are not covered. Add parameterized cases over use_cute_dsl_topk and enable_heuristic_topk so the mapping is pinned.

As per path instructions, "Always produce a test coverage summary, even if no issues are found."

Keep GVR prior indices in per-layer DSA metadata while allocating GVR and radix scratch from the reusable memory-buffer arena. Preserve the prior state across bypassed decode paths and use the indexer Top-K value for warmup.

Scope reusable Top-K workspaces by the scores device, restore once-per-step GVR row ordering in DSA metadata, and document the external GVR state contract. Update focused tests for device-aware workspace keys and metadata-owned row order.

Keep GVR prior write-back in the Indexer so it can overlap with sparse attention on the auxiliary stream and join within the same layer. Apply the lifecycle uniformly to computed, reused, and skipped decode Top-K results, and add focused coverage.

lfr-0531 merged commit 4f13faf into NVIDIA:main Aug 22, 2026
7 checks passed
longcheng-nv added a commit to longcheng-nv/TensorRT-LLM that referenced this pull request Aug 22, 2026
Adopts the TopK module refactor (NVIDIA#17622): the self-sampling engine is now
TopKImplementation.CUTE_DSL_GVR_V2 with the hardware-format gate living in
the module and falling through to the CUDA GVR body; the env opt-in
(TRTLLM_GVR_SELF_SAMPLING=1) promotes the implementation at the indexer's
selection site. The module receives max_seq_len in compressed index space,
so the V2 branch multiplies back to kv-token space for run_varlen.

Two latent branch bugs surfaced by the merge audit are fixed in the same
resolution: the warmup gate read metadata.enable_heuristic_topk, which
main renamed to enable_gvr_topk, and it referenced MAX_VARLEN_ROWS, which
the full-range dispatch commit removed from the host module (replaced by
a local eager warm-span constant). Both would have raised AttributeError
on the in-tree warmup path under the env opt-in; the e2e evidence runs
never hit them because the ss arm used the pre-refactor overlay seam.

Validated on the merged tree: wheel build, TopK-V2 module smoke (exact
through the module path + bf16 fall-through leg), kernel UT 84/84.

Re-ports the GVR emission wiring onto the modular TopK structure
(NVIDIA#17622): the module owns GvrEmissionState (riding the caller's
gvr_prior_indices instead of a duplicate prior, own_prior=False),
prepare_gvr_emission() plans the tier and returns the scoring-op
emission kwargs, the consume-side ext kwargs are injected into the
CuTe DSL GVR call while the step is armed, and
reset_gvr_emission_rows() cold-starts reused slots at the
prefill-to-decode handoff. The indexer keeps only a thin gate
(TRTLLM_GVR_EMISSION=1, CUTE_DSL_GVR decode, next_n==1, no atom
split, <=256 rows) plus the kwargs splat into the fp8/fp4 scoring
calls.

This move claimed `tests/unittest/_torch/thop/parallel/test_indexer_topk.py`
on one basis: the file's exact-file CODEOWNERS rule names the Attention team.
The same move deletes that rule, folding it into the
`/tests/unittest/_torch/attention` directory rule -- so afterwards the only
thing saying the file is Attention's would be the directory it had just been
moved into. That is the circularity the classification rules single out as the
failure mode to avoid.

What the file covers has meanwhile stopped being Attention-only. NVIDIA#17622 landed
`_torch/modules/top_k.py`, which now has two production consumers in two
domains -- `attention_backend/sparse/dsa/indexer.py` and
`kv_cache_compression/triattention/triattention.py` -- both selecting
`TopKImplementation.CUTE_DSL_RADIX`, i.e. sharing the neutral radix tier. The
op they share, `cute_dsl_indexer_topk_decode`, encodes no attention concept in
its signature. The tier that does -- GVR, with `pre_idx`, `compress_ratio` and
the `next_n` `preIdxOffset` shift -- is covered by the two tests under
`attention/sparse/`, which this move leaves in place.

So keep the file where it is, restore the exact-file rule so Attention keeps
ownership explicitly rather than by inheritance, and let TRTLLM-14844 place it
together with the kernel directory it exercises -- one move instead of two.
The reasoning is recorded on that ticket and in a comment above the restored
rule, so a later reader does not read this as a file the move forgot.

Coverage is unchanged: every stage that carried the split-out
`attention/kernels/parallel` entry already carries `unittest/_torch/thop/parallel`,
which is where the file runs again. Dropping the entry also drops the
`TIMEOUT (90)` it had inherited from the line above it -- a cap this entry
never needed (3.7 min measured on DGX_B200) and one that predates the file
being in `thop/parallel/` at all.

The five `attention/kernels/parallel` rows added to `agg_unit_mem_df.csv` in
744de5b go with it. The two rows for `parallel_hw_agnostic` and `serial` stay,
as do the `thop/*` rows the file falls back under.
