Row: GFX1100-TG200
Issue: #2888
Depends on: #2807 (T25)

Summary

GDN b/a same-input GEMV merge: merge the b and a projections of the GDN block when they share the same input tensor. Adjudicated bit-identical, closed below the bar in the original campaign. This PR records the lever and its negative disposition.

VT_GDN_MERGED_BA_ROCM=1 (default OFF).

Benchmark

A/B interleaved, 5 pairs, Qwen3.5-4B Q4_K_M, 256 tokens, temp 0, seed 0:

Pair A (T25 chain) B (T25+T35r3) Delta
1 32.389 32.392 +0.01%
2 32.405 32.414 +0.03%
3 32.398 32.380 -0.06%
4 32.438 32.415 -0.07%
5 32.378 32.305 -0.23%
Median 32.398 32.392 -0.05%

Noise — confirms the original campaign's negative disposition.

Token identity

PASS — identical output to T25 chain.

Eleven of this campaign's pull requests are siblings on the same base and each
rewrites `## Now` whole, so merging them is last-writer-wins on that section and
three records did not survive the sequence. This restores them against the
landed tree rather than against any one branch's copy.

- The T34 evidence link comes back out. That file is on no branch and not on
  main, so check-agent-record reads it as a dangling link and reds the
  agent-record job. The capture itself is stated in the prose; only the file
  backing it is missing, so it becomes a named owed item (#2936).
- VT_ARGMAX_SPLIT is named as T14's lever. #2876 owed that record and its own
  copy of `## Now` was overwritten by a later sibling.
- `## Owed` gains the missing T34 capture.

The T37 closed-negative from #2892 and the T35/T35-r3 records from #2893
survived the sequence and are unchanged here.

This is the shape AGENTS.md names: a single file every pull request must write
is a lock, and this section is one. It is reconciled once, at the end, instead
of eighteen times.

- The T34 and T35 evidence links come out. Neither file is on any branch or on

  `## Now`, and T35's round-3 file carries the round-2 provenance, including
  that the 7415e281 divergence was measured under the corrupted Q6_K MMVQ arm
  and does not survive the fixed kernel. T34's missing capture becomes a named
  owed item.
- VT_ARGMAX_SPLIT is named as T14's lever. #2876 owed that record and a later
  sibling overwrote its copy of `## Now`.
- The T2b evidence file keeps its closed negative. #2777 deleted the paragraph
  to drop a stale "hindsight unavailable" preamble and took the finding with
  it: the pointer-keyed activation-quant cache is unsound under the DevicePool
  block-recycling allocator. AGENTS.md does not allow deleting evidence to
  reduce context, so the finding is restated without the preamble.

The T37 closed-negative from #2892 and the T35-r3 record from #2893 survived
and are unchanged.

A single file every pull request must write is a lock, which is what this spec
section became. It is reconciled once, at the end, instead of eighteen times.

Held back with the rest of the GFX1100-TG200 stack, on its base rather than on
its own contents. This branch carries 51f5222dc (#2790) in its history, and that
commit has four removals its body does not mention — #2782's provider gates and
seven encodings of coverage (#2938),
the __ockl_sdot4 hardware dot (#2939),
the documented VT_ROCM_Q8K_BLOCK knob, and the cooperative Q8_K quantizer that
#2472 landed as the accepted gfx1100 default. The full write-up is on
#2790.

I reviewed this change on its own and have no objection to it. Once #2790's base
is repaired and this rebases onto it, ping me and it goes in.

Landing today from this set: #2782 (with the grouped-Q8_0 repair), #2777 and
#2778, gated on strix:gpu0.

Rebased onto the repaired stack tip 2ff6af4 (base b9f2ef4, the external-contributor landing branch). Gates green (check-env-doc, check-agent-record, check-rocm-dp4a-intrinsic); vllm-cli + test_rocm_quant_dot compile and link at -Werror in rocm-dev:10.0.0 on gfx1100; the default path (all arms off) is byte-identical to the staging baseline on Qwen3.5-4B Q4_K_M (canonical TG200 prompt, 256 tokens, greedy, seed 0). Engine A/B numbers measured today (one window, 5 reps, one load per arm): default 48.4 tok/s median; VT_GEMV_MMVQ=1 alone 53.5 (+10.0%); the byte-exact arm group (VT_NORM_QUANT_FUSED, VT_QUANT_Q8K_WARP) verified token-identical solo; VT_SKINNY_BF16 and the keep-quant arms (VT_GDN_ROWPERM_KEEP_QUANT / VT_GDN_COLPERM_KEEP_QUANT) and the association-change arms (VT_ATTN_DECODE_GQA4, VT_RMSNORM_ROW_COOP) move early near-tie tokens on the engine and are NOT engine-token-identical — flagged here so the acceptance terms name them; the full opt-in stack measured 72.5 tok/s median (+49.6%) with that documented divergence.

This branch's head is now f62439f. Ping for re-review.

… kROCM

The GGUF loader routes a block-typed weight to MatmulBTQuant whenever the
running device has the provider, so registering these two ops lights up
keep-quant compute on every ROCm board with no model-path change: the
dense and grouped MoE towers stage once through ResidentWeight and
dispatch to the new device GEMM.

Coverage mirrors the CUDA sibling exactly — the ten Q8_K-family
encodings plus a native Q8_0 arm. The integer dots are the portable
scalar forms of the CPU reference bodies in the CPU accumulation order,
because gfx1100 exposes no signed byte dot (v_dot4_i32_iu8 is
unsigned-only; sdot4 needs a feature this target does not offer), and
the gate is bit-exactness against the CPU tier at NMSE 1e-6 with the f64
dequant band at 5e-4. Unsupported dtypes throw naming the dtype instead
of silently falling back to a host kernel that cannot follow device
pointers; VT_GGUF_KEEP_QUANT=0 restores load-time expansion.

Gates on gfx1100 / ROCm 7.14.0: test_rocm_quant_dot 132,094 assertions
green across all ten encodings (decode through prefill shapes, broadcast
and per-row grouped arms over a poisoned output buffer), focused
ctest 'rocm|cross_device|quant' 20/21 with only the pre-existing
MoeSiluMul bf16 exactness failure (mudler#1588) remaining, and an end-to-end
Qwen3.5-0.8B Q4_K_M decode that is deterministic on device.

The new kROCM provider takes over kMatmulBTQuantGrouped from the kernel in
rocm_grouped_gemm.hip and delegates Q4_K/Q5_K/Q6_K back to it, but not Q8_0.
Q8_0 has no arm in rocm_quant_dot.hip either -- it dots a Q8_0 activation
rather than a Q8_K super-block, so IsRocmKeepQuantSupported answers no and a
grouped Q8_0 expert GEMM throws on a path main serves today.

Adds Q8_0 to the delegation list, and a q8_0 row to the test's kCases table so
the grouped arm has a case that fails when the delegation is dropped. The
table was the ten Q8_K-family encodings only, which is why nothing caught it.

Closes mudler#2927.

This reverts commit 82d99ea. The fix is correct and mudler#2927 stays open for it,
but this pull request is the base of a 22-branch stack and every later branch
edits the same two files. Landing the repair here made 21 of them conflict; off
this branch the stack merges clean. So the repair moves to its own branch on top
of the landed stack, where it costs no conflict resolution at all.

The rejected plan treated a red local gate as usable, invented a numerical envelope, and described oracle and provider paths that could not run.

Adds the VT_GEMV_MMVQ=1 opt-in K-quant decode GEMV arm for MatmulBTQuant,
bit-exact vs the CPU oracle. The arm folds activation quant into the MMVQ
GEMV prologue (deleting the standalone QuantizeQ8KK launch) and widens the
gate to engine dtypes (bf16/f16 activations, bf16/f32 outputs).

Sub-levers:
- lever-B1: VT_GEMV_MMVQ_FOLD_MAX makes the fold crossover tunable at runtime
- lever-B2: VT_SKINNY_BF16=1 f32-out decode-skinny arm for GDN BA projections
- repair: m-gates the whole dispatch and makes the GEMV bit-equal to baseline
- repair-2: host-side dispatch-route counters + F1/F2 routing-witness gates
- lever-B2 test: red-first f32-out decode-skinny gate, true-unset routing window

Architecture: F1 moved the live MatmulBTQuantKernelRocm to rocm_quant_dot.hip
(anonymous namespace, internal linkage). T4a's MMVQ arm lives in
rocm_grouped_gemm.hip's version (external linkage, renamed to *Gdn). This PR
adds delegation: rocm_quant_dot.hip forwards Q4_K/Q5_K/Q6_K calls to the Gdn
version, preserving F1's IQ-type providers while activating T4a's MMVQ arm.

The default path (VT_GEMV_MMVQ unset) is byte-unchanged from F1. The arm is
opt-in and validated by test_rocm_quant_dot (6/6 cases, 719 assertions) and
test_rocm_skinny_f32 (2/2 cases, 51 assertions). Token-identical to upstream
baseline on Qwen3.5-4B Q4_K, 32-token greedy decode, seed 0.

Rebased onto the external-contributor landing branch (staging tip
b9f2ef4), which already carries F1 (mudler#2782) and its grouped-Q8_0 repair
(mudler#2927). This version carries NONE of the removals the previous base commit
51f5222 made: the ten-row kCases table, kMaxNmseErr/nmse_ref_max and the
three F1 provider cases are restored beside this arm's kKQuantCases (mudler#2938);
Dp4a keeps the __ockl_sdot4 hardware dot (mudler#2939); the documented
VT_ROCM_Q8K_BLOCK selector (SelectQ8KQuantArm/LaunchQ8KQuantizer), the mudler#2472
cooperative gfx1100 default (QuantizeQ8KCooperativeK) and the
VT_ROCM_Q6K_SMALL_PRIVATE A/B arm are restored with their witness helpers;
the shared bench-evidence file keeps lever B1's section 14 record, whose
truncation this branch had carried.

Depends on mudler#2782 (F1 keep-quant GEMM infra).

…Norm epilogue

Lever-C adds an opt-in fused norm-quant epilogue (VT_NORM_QUANT_FUSED=1):
RmsNormRowKernel emits the row's Q8_K blocks alongside its normal output,
and MatmulBTQuant's K-quant branch skips the standalone QuantizeQ8KK when
the consuming activation matches the producer token. Byte-identical to the
standalone path by construction (shared QuantQ8KSBlock body).

New files:
- src/vt/rocm/rocm_act_quant.h: shared Q8_K quant-block body
- src/vt/rocm/rocm_norm_quant_bridge.h: producer-consumer token contract

Also fixes T4a routing counter placement (moved outside anonymous namespace
for external linkage) and restores VT_GEMV_MMVQ_FOLD_MAX env var reading
that was lost during cherry-pick conflict resolution.

The default path (VT_NORM_QUANT_FUSED unset) is byte-unchanged. Validated by
test_rocm_quant_dot (12/12 cases, 797 assertions). Token-identical to upstream
baseline on Qwen3.5-4B Q4_K, 32-token greedy decode, seed 0.

Depends on mudler#2782 (F1) and mudler#2790 (T4a).

The standalone QuantizeQ8KK kernel used 1 thread per 256-element superblock,
each doing a serial scan of 256 elements (~800 instructions). For decode
(m=1, nsb=10) only 10 of 128 threads were active, and on wave32 each thread
is its own wave, so the kernel took ~13.4 us/call = 540 us/tok (6.0% of
wall time).

The new QuantizeQ8KKWarpCoop kernel uses 8 threads per superblock (32
elements each). The amax scan is done per-chunk (ascending, ax > amax
first-occurrence), then reduced across 8 threads via __shfl_xor_sync with
lower-chunk-index tie-break — equivalent to a sequential scan of all 256
elements. The quantization (iscale = -127/mx, DNearestInt, clamp 127) and
bsums are order-independent. Output is BYTE-IDENTICAL to the original
QuantQ8KSBlock, asserted by the gate test (16/16, 839 assertions) under
VT_QUANT_Q8K_WARP=1.

For m=1, nsb=10: 1 block, 80/128 threads active (vs 10/128), 3 waves of
~100 instructions (vs 10 waves of ~800) = ~8x fewer wave-cycles.

A/B on acceptance workload (Qwen3.5-4B Q4_K_M, 256 tokens, temp 0, seed 0):
  OFF median: 91.532 tok/s
  ON  median: 93.417 tok/s
  +2.06%, 5/5 pairs ON>OFF, all 5 byte-identical (1039 bytes)

…pKernel

The fused Q8_K quant epilogue in RmsNormRowCoopKernel re-reads the
normalized output from global memory (DLoadAct on orow) after Pass 3
stores it. On gfx1100 the 5 KB bf16 row (h=2560) competes with the
weight and input in the 16 KB L1, so the re-read can miss to L2.

T24 stores the normalized row to dynamic shared memory during Pass 3
(when the value is already in registers) and reads from LDS in the
quant epilogue, eliminating the global re-read. The LDS buffer is
h * sizeof(Tout) bytes (5 KB for bf16 h=2560), well within the 64 KB
per-CU limit.

Env gate VT_RMSNORM_LDS_QUANT (default ON) controls the optimization:
set to 0 to revert to the global re-read path for A/B isolation. The
gate is read per-call so captured graphs and in-process tests pick it
up at dispatch time.

Byte-identity: the LDS store uses the same conversion as Store (bf16
RNE for bf16 output, exact copy for f32), and DLoadAct reads the same
bytes from LDS as from global. Gate test: 16/16 cases, 839 assertions,
all passed.

A/B measurement pending: the co-tenant 27B model holds the GPU VRAM,
blocking the acceptance workload. The A/B script is staged at
agent-artifacts/tg200-t24/ab-t24.sh for when the GPU is available.

…ctions

The GDN layers attn_qkv (Q5_K, 24 tensors [2560,8192]) and attn_gate
(Q4_K, 24 tensors [4096,2560]) were expanded to bf16 at load time because
the V-head row reorder classified them as kTransformedWeight. The reorder
is a ROW permutation — quantization blocks are along the K (column)
dimension and are self-contained per row — so it is block-safe. T21 routes
these tensors as kMatmulWeight to allow keep-quant, copies the blocks via
OwnGgufQuantBlocks(mmap_src=nullptr), and applies ReorderVRows to the
block bytes at load time. The forward pass already dispatches quantized
nk=true weights through vt::MatmulBT, so no forward-pass change was needed.

A/B: +3.9% (87.4 to 90.8 tok/s median, 5/5 pairs). Gate 16/16, 839
assertions. Output coherent but not byte-identical (Q5_K integer dot
product vs bf16 float MAC). VT_GDN_ROWPERM_KEEP_QUANT=0 reverts to the
old bf16 expansion path for A/B isolation.

The improvement is less than the projected 14% because the Q5_K GEMV
kernel has lower effective bandwidth on small grids (n=2560) than
assumed, and wvSplitKSml is more efficient on these grids than projected.

…t amax at 0

RmsNormRowCoopKernel's vec predicate constrained activation/residual widths
but not the gamma type, while the vector body decodes the gamma as 8 bf16
halves per uint4. DispatchRmsNormWeight admits kF32/kF16 gammas independent
of Tin (mudler#2492 decoupling), so with bf16 activation and an f32 or f16 gamma
the vector path multiplied by garbage read from the wrong byte range. The
predicate now requires Tw == __hip_bfloat16 exactly (sizeof==2 would still
misread f16); the scalar path's Load() overloads decode per dtype and are
unchanged.

Also seeds the epilogue quantizer's mx/amax at 0 like the standalone
QuantizeQ8KK: seeding from the thread's own element let a NaN poison d
instead of producing the scalar contract's zero block.
ssm_out (out_proj) is Q5_K in the GGUF checkpoint but was expanded to bf16
at load time because the V-head column reorder (ReorderVCols) cuts across
Q5_K 256-element block boundaries. T25 keeps the weight in tiled Q5_K order
(no ReorderVCols) and permutes the 4096-element GEMV input from grouped to
tiled order at runtime instead, cutting weight bandwidth ~4x (Q5_K ~5 MB vs
bf16 20 MB per call).

The permutation is a simple gather of 128-element groups within each of the
4096-element rows, gated by VT_GDN_COLPERM_KEEP_QUANT=1 (default OFF). A new
out_proj_tiled flag on GdnLayerWeights distinguishes the tiled Q5_K path
(needs input permutation) from the gdn_expand_nk bf16 path (already
column-reordered, no permutation needed) — the nk flag alone conflates both.

A/B (5 interleaved pairs, --max-tokens 256 --temperature 0 --seed 0):
OFF median=90.930 tok/s, ON median=91.703 tok/s, +0.85%, 5/5 ON>OFF.
Output coherent but NOT byte-identical (Q5_K vs bf16 weight precision).
Gate test: 16/16, 839 assertions.

The improvement is modest because the permutation kernel launch overhead
(~13.4 us x 24 calls = ~322 us/tok) offsets most of the weight bandwidth
savings (~368 us/tok). The net gain is ~46 us/tok.

…sed below the bar (VT_GDN_MERGED_BA_ROCM)

Re-land of the round-2 expand-arm merge on the post-#9-fix tree. The
GGUF loader stacks ssm_beta + ssm_alpha into one in_proj_ba [64, 2560]
bf16 nk owner (each half DqBf16'd, V-row-reordered, concatenated — the
same owner shape the safetensors path builds; keep-residency
checkpoints take the OwnGgufKeptStacked path). MergedGdnBaEnabled gains
VT_GDN_MERGED_BA_ROCM (default OFF, read once, sibling GDN-toggle
convention) so ROCm runs the packed single-launch f32 arm where the
split arm launched two N=32 GEMVs on the same input; lever OFF slices
the packed owner back into the same two launches, byte-identical
(proven: the base A/B arm runs this binary with the stacked loader).

Near-tie adjudication BEFORE the A/B, per protocol:
tools/tg200-neartie.sh verdict=PASS divergent=0 over_band=0
max_gap_mnats=0.000 against the re-minted reference a0fa1c4a — under
the #9-fixed kernel the merged N=64 arm reproduces the reference
bit-for-bit (round 2's 7415e281 divergence was the corrupted Q6_K MMVQ
arm amplifying the reduction-geometry delta into an argmax flip).

Clean idle-window A/B (loadavg 0.98 at start, no stray engines, 1 warm
+ 5 reps, medians): base 85.834 vs ON 85.510 tok/s (-0.38%, overlapping
distributions) — the 24 saved wvSplitKSml launches do not surface above
noise in the end-to-end metric. CLOSED NEGATIVE with numbers; the
adjudicated, bit-identical lever ships default-OFF for future
re-pricing if launch gaps ever dominate.

Same window re-measures T36 cleanly (its original window overlapped a
hung co-tenant container): VT_PREFILL_TILE=1 median 86.392 vs base
85.834 = +0.65%, byte-identical — direction and below-bar opt-in
disposition confirmed. T36 evidence file updated with the clean number.

Gates on the committed tree: test_rocm_quant_dot assertions 841/841
(two CASES throw on unported dtypes Q2_K/Q3_K/IQ* at :1603/:1699 —
pre-existing on pristine HEAD, provider-coverage gap, noted for the
campaign), test_rocm_prefill_tile 720/720, ctest -R 'rocm|quant' at
the HEAD baseline result set.

For the gfx1100 campaign, the requested disposition remains close this experiment, or reduce it to historical evidence without product code. The reported median change for GDN b/a projection merge is -0.05%, described here as noise. A source review with no objection does not establish a performance result that warrants shipping this opt-in path.

At 1498de0325e565343e5a2631bb7b578ae102de98, the PR still carries a cumulative implementation stack across 27 files. That includes other kernel changes and an older copy of #2773’s numerical spec. Those changes need their own reviewed current-main flows. The reported full-stack speed and token divergence do not isolate this lever.

Please retain the original measurements, commands, revisions, and rejected outcome. Closing this PR does not establish a performance ceiling or close the broader gfx1100 gap. Revisit the lever when a current-main trace identifies a concrete remaining cost, followed by a same-binary A/B result and the matching correctness gate. This comment makes no new device measurement.
