Problem

The MOSS-TTS-v1.5 engine hardcodes device selection to:

device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
dtype = torch.bfloat16 if device == "cuda" else torch.float32

On an Ascend NPU (torch_npu) host, torch.cuda.is_available() is False, so the entire model silently falls back to CPU inference in fp32 — never using the NPU accelerator — even though the accelerator is available and bf16 is supported.

The same bug affects any non-CUDA accelerator: Intel XPU, AMD ROCm, etc.

Root cause

torch.cuda.is_available() is CUDA-specific and does not detect other accelerators. The correct device-agnostic API is torch.accelerator.current_accelerator() which returns the active backend regardless of type.

Fix

Replace the CUDA-or-CPU hardcode with torch.accelerator.current_accelerator().type:

  • Use torch.accelerator.current_accelerator() to detect the active device (CUDA / NPU / XPU / MPS / CPU)
  • MPS is still excluded (MOSS is untested on Apple Silicon per the comment)
  • dtype is bf16 for any GPU-class accelerator, fp32 on CPU

Verification

Verified on Ascend 910B (torch 2.14, torch_npu, 4 NPU):

Before (CUDA hardcode) After (accelerator API)
device "cpu" (wrong) "npu" (correct)
dtype float32 (slow) bfloat16 (fast)
CUDA_avail False False

No changes to the MPS exclusion or the existing bf16-on-CPU-safe logic.

MOSS-TTS-v1.5 and device routing now support CUDA, ROCm, XPU, and registered NPU accelerators, with CPU fallback for unavailable or failed probes and MPS. Accelerators use bfloat16, while CPU uses float32; older PyTorch environments without torch.accelerator remain supported. Verify optional driver failures and non-CUDA backends.

…A hardcode

MOSS-TTS-v1.5 engine hardcoded device selection to
`device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"`. On an Ascend
NPU (torch_npu) host, `torch.cuda.is_available()` is False, so the whole
model silently runs on CPU in fp32 — never using the accelerator — even
though torch.accelerator reports `npu` and bf16 is supported.

Replace with the device-agnostic `torch.accelerator.current_accelerator()`
so any backend (CUDA / NPU / XPU / MPS) is picked up automatically. MPS is
still excluded (MOSS's upstream trust_remote_code modelling code is untested
on Apple Silicon); dtype is bf16 for any GPU-class accelerator and fp32 on
CPU.

Verified on Ascend 910B (torch 2.14, torch_npu, 4 NPU):
  before: torch.cuda.is_available()==False -> device "cpu", dtype float32
  after:  accelerator -> device "npu", dtype bfloat16

Greptile Summary

The PR adds device-agnostic accelerator routing for MOSS-TTS-v1.5, including registered NPU and native XPU detection, while retaining CPU fallback and excluding MPS. Changes since the previous review also tighten macOS process-group shutdown handling by accepting Darwin permission errors only after confirming the root exited unreaped.

  • Adds accelerator-aware MOSS model and tokenizer placement with compatibility fallback.
  • Extends device capability reporting and engine routing to NPU.
  • Handles the macOS process-exit/signaling race while preserving descendant-drain checks.
  • Adds coverage for accelerator routing, capability reporting, and process signaling behavior.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
backend/engines/moss_tts_v15/main.py Selects an available unified PyTorch accelerator with guarded legacy and CPU fallbacks; both previous findings are resolved.

Addressed the review feedback (greptile P1 + coderabbit Stability).

torch.accelerator.current_accelerator() can return None on CPU-only PyTorch builds (no accelerator compiled in), so accel.type would crash model loading. I now call current_accelerator(check_available=True) and fall back to "cpu" when it returns None, preserving the bf16-on-accelerator / fp32-on-CPU behavior.

Verified on Ascend 910B (torch 2.14, torch_npu): current_accelerator(check_available=True) returns npu, .type == "npu", dtype resolves to bf16 as intended.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Update the MOSS-TTS status text.

gpu_compat now enables ROCm, XPU, and NPU routing, but the display name and is_available() status still state CUDA/CPU only, so Settings misstates supported execution paths. Make these strings device-neutral or list every declared target, and add a regression assertion. As per coding guidelines, “Docs-sync in the same PR” and “fail-before/pass-after regression test” are required.

official PyTorch torch.accelerator current_accelerator check_available SDPA NPU XPU scaled_dot_product_attention support transformers attn_implementation

💡 Result:

The torch.accelerator API is an official, though sometimes evolving, component in recent versions of PyTorch (e.g., 2.11+) designed to provide a unified way to interact with different hardware backends [1][2]. torch.accelerator.current_accelerator The function torch.accelerator.current_accelerator(check_available=False) is an official API that returns the device of the accelerator available at compilation time [3][4]. - Parameters: The optional check_available (bool) parameter performs a runtime check using torch.accelerator.is_available() in addition to the compile-time check [3][4]. - Usage: It returns a torch.device object [3][4]. It is commonly used to programmatically move models to the appropriate accelerator when one is available [3][4]. Scaled Dot Product Attention (SDPA) and Hardware Support PyTorch's torch.nn.functional.scaled_dot_product_attention (SDPA) is the recommended way to invoke optimized attention kernels. Support for NPU (Ascend) and XPU (Intel) varies: - NPU (Ascend): Official support for SDPA on Ascend NPUs is integrated via the torch-npu package [5]. Recent optimizations allow for features like Grouped Query Attention (GQA) and improved handling of attention masks to trigger high-performance kernels (e.g., FlashAttentionScore) [6][7]. - XPU (Intel): XPU support for SDPA is active but continues to evolve. While basic functionality exists, some specialized kernels (like fused SDPA) have been targeted for specific release versions (e.g., PyTorch 2.7 targeting) [8][9]. Users may occasionally encounter performance limitations or errors if specific hardware-fused kernels are not yet implemented for certain configurations [8][9]. Transformers attn_implementation The Hugging Face transformers library provides a high-level attn_implementation argument (e.g., attn_implementation="sdpa") to control how attention is computed [10][11]. - When set to "sdpa", transformers automatically utilizes PyTorch's scaled_dot_product_attention [10]. - This backend is compatible with NPU and XPU provided the underlying environment (PyTorch and hardware extensions like torch-npu or intel-extension-for-pytorch) supports it [6][5]. - Integration logic in transformers continues to be updated to specifically enable advanced features (like GQA) on these non-CUDA backends as support matures in the respective hardware extensions [6][7].

site:github.com/OpenMOSS/MOSS-TTS MOSS-TTS-v1.5 attn_implementation sdpa NPU XPU

💡 Result:

In MOSS-TTS-v1.5, the attn_implementation parameter is used to specify the attention mechanism, with supported options including flash_attention_2, sdpa, and eager [1]. The system implements an automatic resolution logic (often found in the model's initialization or CLI scripts) that prioritizes efficiency based on the available hardware and environment [2][3]: 1. FlashAttention 2: This is the default preference when running on CUDA, provided the flash_attn package is installed, the device capability is at least 8.0, and the data type is float16 or bfloat16 [2][3]. 2. SDPA (Scaled Dot Product Attention): If FlashAttention 2 criteria are not met, the implementation falls back to PyTorch's native sdpa kernels on CUDA [2][3]. 3. Eager: This is used as the final fallback for CPU execution [2][3]. Regarding NPU and XPU, the official repository codebase does not contain explicit configuration or specialized kernel support for these accelerators [1][2]. The primary device-specific logic focuses on CUDA (via flash-attention and SDPA) and generic CPU (via eager mode) [2][3]. Users targeting hardware other than standard CUDA GPUs are typically advised to use the framework's GGUF/llama.cpp backend for better memory management and compatibility, rather than relying on PyTorch's default GPU-centric attention implementations [4].

Ascend pytorch issue 88 scaled_dot_product_attention MOSS TTS sdpa

💡 Result:

The query combines two separate technical contexts: a known issue in the Ascend PyTorch extension regarding Scaled Dot Product Attention (SDPA) and the implementation of MOSS TTS. 1. Ascend PyTorch Issue #88: This GitHub issue, titled "scaled_dot_product_attention does not work correctly when attn_mask is in bool type," was reported in the official Ascend/pytorch repository [1]. Users observed that when using a boolean attn_mask in torch.nn.functional.scaled_dot_product_attention, the output on NPU (Ascend) devices significantly differed from the output on GPU devices [1]. The issue highlights compatibility challenges with SDPA on Ascend hardware, where specific dtypes (like bool) may not be handled identically to CUDA backends [1][2][3]. 2. MOSS TTS and SDPA: MOSS TTS project documentation and model cards provide explicit guidance on handling SDPA implementations, primarily focusing on CUDA environments [4][5][6][7]. The project advises developers to disable the "broken cuDNN SDPA backend" (using torch.backends.cuda.enable_cudnn_sdp(False)) while keeping Flash Attention and memory-efficient SDPA backends enabled as fallbacks [4][8][9]. The code provided in their documentation suggests a custom resolve_attn_implementation function to dynamically select the best available attention backend (preferring FlashAttention-2 where possible, then standard SDPA, then eager) [4][5][7]. There is no direct evidence linking Issue #88 to a failure specifically within the MOSS TTS codebase; rather, they represent two different technical challenges: one involving operator compatibility on Ascend hardware (Issue #88) [1] and the other involving the optimization and backend selection of SDPA for MOSS TTS on NVIDIA hardware [4][5][9]. Users attempting to run MOSS TTS on Ascend NPU hardware would likely need to ensure their torch-npu version resolves the boolean mask constraints identified in Issue #88 [1][2][3].

Resolve attention by accelerator before loading MOSS. When current_accelerator(check_available=True) returns npu or xpu, _load_model passes the default sdpa implementation to AutoModel.from_pretrained; upstream MOSS selects sdpa only for CUDA and eager otherwise, so this path can enter an unvalidated vendor SDPA kernel and fail during loading or generation. Select a tested implementation per device, or gate npu/xpu to the CPU/eager path until an exact MOSS load and generation check passes.

PyTorch torch accelerator is_available RuntimeError compiled backend no usable device exact exceptions

💡 Result:

The RuntimeError associated with torch.accelerator.is_available occurring when no usable devices are present is a known behavior in recent PyTorch versions, often stemming from changes in how accelerator detection is implemented (moving from lazy runtime initialization to more aggressive checks) [1]. When you call torch.accelerator.is_available, PyTorch attempts to verify if the built-in accelerator (such as CUDA or XPU) is functional by checking for compatible drivers and visible hardware [2][3][4]. If your environment includes a PyTorch wheel compiled with support for an accelerator (e.g., +cu124) but lacks the corresponding physical hardware or correctly configured drivers, calling is_available can trigger an internal lazy initialization process that subsequently raises a RuntimeError because no devices are found [1][5]. Key insights for troubleshooting: 1. Cause of the Error: The error usually happens because the library, configured for a specific hardware backend, executes an internal check that mandates the presence of at least one device [1]. This is distinct from earlier behaviors where is_available might have returned False gracefully [1]. 2. Environment Mismatch: This frequently occurs in "driverless" environments, containers, or CI runners where the PyTorch installation expects hardware that is not present [5]. Even if you only intend to use CPU, an installation compiled with CUDA support may still attempt to initialize the CUDA runtime upon calling accelerator-related APIs [5]. 3. Workarounds and Verification: - Check your torch version: If you are encountering this in a CPU-only context, ensure you are using the CPU-specific build of PyTorch (e.g., +cpu) to avoid unnecessary runtime overhead and device-related exceptions [1]. - Verify hardware access: Ensure that drivers (like nvidia-smi for CUDA) are correctly installed and visible to the current process [6]. - Avoid aggressive checks: If your code uses is_available as a gatekeeper, consider wrapping it in a try-except block if you are operating in environments where hardware availability is uncertain, or rely on explicit device type checks if your application architecture allows it [5]. - Environment Variables: For CUDA-based setups, checking the behavior of variables like PYTORCH_NVML_BASED_CUDA_CHECK=1 might be relevant if you are debugging fork-safety or runtime initialization issues [2][7]. If you are encountering this while using torch.compile, ensure you are testing with different backends (e.g., backend="eager") to isolate whether the issue is with the device runtime or the compiler backend itself [8].

site:github.com/pytorch/pytorch torch/accelerator/__init__.py current_accelerator check_available RuntimeError

💡 Result:

In PyTorch, a RuntimeError when using the torch.accelerator API (such as current_accelerator or is_available) typically occurs because the library detects a mismatch between its compile-time accelerator support and the physical hardware available at runtime [1]. Background and Causes The torch.accelerator module provides a unified interface for device-agnostic code [2][3]. However, recent architectural changes have shifted how PyTorch handles accelerator discovery [1]. Specifically: 1. Compile-Time vs. Runtime Detection: PyTorch often resolves the accelerator type (e.g., CUDA, XPU) at compilation time [4][5][6]. If a PyTorch wheel is built with support for a specific accelerator (like CUDA or XPU) but is executed on a machine without that physical hardware, calling functions that perform internal initialization can trigger a RuntimeError [1]. 2. Lazy Initialization: Internally, functions like torch.accelerator.is_available or current_accelerator(check_available=True) may trigger a "lazy initialization" of the device backend [1]. If this initialization logic attempts to probe hardware that is absent or incorrectly configured, a RuntimeError is raised by the underlying C++ backend [1][3]. 3. Side Effects of Module Imports: In some versions of PyTorch, top-level calls to torch.accelerator.is_available have caused issues by forcing the loading of device backends before they are fully registered or initialized, leading to errors regarding missing modules or unregistered devices [7]. Best Practices and Solutions To avoid these RuntimeErrors, consider the following patterns used in the PyTorch codebase: Use check_available=False for Basic Checks: If you only need to know the default device type (e.g., cuda, xpu) supported by your PyTorch installation, call current_accelerator without the check_available=True argument [2]. This prevents the function from performing an active, and potentially failing, runtime probe of the hardware [6]. Use Defensive Patterns: When writing device-agnostic code, wrap calls that depend on physical hardware availability in try-except blocks, especially when dealing with environments where the hardware might be absent [3]. Example Pattern: # Prefer this for checking if a device is usable without triggering an error acc = torch.accelerator.current_accelerator(check_available=True) if acc is not None and torch.accelerator.is_available: # Perform device-specific operations pass else: # Fallback to CPU pass If you are experiencing this error during module import or initialization, ensure that your environment variables (e.g., for NVML discovery or backend registration) are correctly set, or delay the accelerator check until the logic is actually needed [7][6]. If you suspect a bug in the PyTorch version you are using, checking for open issues in the PyTorch repository is recommended, as this area of the code is under active development [1][8].

Narrow the accelerator-probe exception. At backend/engines/moss_tts_v15/main.py:167, catch RuntimeError from the availability probes instead of swallowing every Exception and silently selecting CPU for programming or API errors. Keep the existing routing and RuntimeError fallback coverage, and add a non-RuntimeError propagation case.
