From c3071d7e2fc7202201c8f74dec0859fd0bfa7383 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ghazni Date: Sat, 5 Sep 2026 11:31:09 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] spec(BACKEND-ROCM): document the silu-gate dtype narrowing repair Scope the independent BACKEND-ROCM repair extracted from PR #2894: the ROCm SiluAndMul/MoeSiluMul kernels compute silu(gate) in f32 and multiply by up without first narrowing to the gate tensor's dtype, while the CPU oracle (cpu_ops.cpp:669,733) narrows via RoundThrough and upstream vLLM's silu_kernel (csrc/libtorch_stable/activation_kernels.cu:158) casts the intermediate to T before compute multiplies. On bf16 exact-equality checks the ROCm arm diverges. The spec records: both affected variants (SiluMulK in rocm_dense_basic.hip:99 and MoeSiluMulK in rocm_moe_router.hip:32), the upstream anchors with file:line, the NarrowTo design, the self-skipping oracle-parity test plan, the gate and docker-compile evidence requirements, and the #2889/#1954 issue linkage.

From 6bf21a407a93f6fe6d787d325f4fca81282beb67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ghazni Date: Sat, 5 Sep 2026 11:33:09 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 2/4] fix(BACKEND-ROCM): narrow silu(gate) to gate dtype before multiply The ROCm SiluAndMul (dense, packed [T,2D]) and MoeSiluMul (MoE, separate gate/up) kernels computed silu(gate) in f32 and multiplied by up without first narrowing the silu result to the gate tensor's dtype. The CPU oracle (cpu_ops.cpp:669 SiluAndMulKernel, :733 MoeSiluMulKernel) narrows via RoundThrough(in_dt, ...) before the multiply, and upstream vLLM's silu_kernel (csrc/libtorch_stable/activation_kernels.cu:158 at e126687a9) casts the intermediate to T before compute (:36) and packed_compute (:72) multiply. On bf16 exact-equality checks the ROCm arm diverges -- issue #1954 records the ROCm exactness failure, #2889 names this as one of three pre-existing bugs. Fix: add a NarrowTo device helper that round-trips an f32 value through the gate dtype (identity for f32, __float2bfloat16/__bfloat162float for bf16, __float2half/__half2float for f16), and insert it between silu and the multiply in both kernels: SiluMulK (rocm_dense_basic.hip:122): NarrowTo(g / (1+expf(-g))) * up MoeSiluMulK (rocm_moe_router.hip:49): NarrowTo(Silu(Ld(gate,i))) * Ld(up,i) The f32 path is NarrowTo = identity, so f32-in/f32-out paths are bit-identical to before. The bf16 path now matches the CPU oracle exactly: both sides round silu(gate) to bf16 precision, then multiply by up in f32, then store. Also adds a focused self-skipping test (test_ops_rocm_silu_rounding.cpp) that runs both ops on the ROCm backend and compares against the CPU oracle with exact equality on every dtype arm (raw uint16 bits for bf16, exact f32 for f32) across multiple shapes. Registered in tests/CMakeLists.txt inside the if(VLLM_CPP_HIP) block, mirroring test_rocm_backend.cpp's guard pattern. Refs #2889, #1954.

GeluMulK (packed, serving OpId::kGeluAndMul) and GeluMulSepK (separate gate/up) both compute 0.5f * g * (1 + tanhf(inner)) in f32 and multiply by up without narrowing, while the CPU oracle rounds the gelu intermediate through in_dt before its multiply exactly as it does the silu one (cpu_ops.cpp:644). So on bf16 the ROCm gelu-mul multiplies an f32 gelu where the oracle multiplies a bf16-rounded one, and the two disagree on exact equality for the reason this pull request already fixes for silu. GeluMulK is reachable through the public seam: GeluAndMulKernelRocm is registered for OpId::kGeluAndMul on kROCM, so vt::GeluAndMul on a bf16 tensor reaches it on a default configuration. Applies the NarrowTo helper this change already introduces at both sites, and adds a GeluAndMul case to the new test on the same bounds as its SiluAndMul sibling: exact bytes on bf16, which is what the narrowing buys, and a 4-ULP band on f32 for the device-versus-host transcendental. Reverting either narrowing reds the bf16 arm of its case. Closes #2966.

On gfx1151, with the narrowing fix correctly in place, the GeluAndMul case's f32 arm failed 14 assertions -- about 0.6% of elements -- against the 4-ULP band I copied from the SiluAndMul case without justifying it for gelu. The gelu polynomial amplifies the device tanhf versus host std::tanh divergence further than silu's expf does, so the bound was simply wrong. It also could not have been right in principle: NarrowTo is the identity, so an f32 arm cannot distinguish this fix from its absence. It was measuring device-versus-host transcendental agreement, which this change does not touch, and the honest options were to widen a band until it passed -- picking a number to green an assertion that discriminates nothing -- or to remove it. Removed, with the measurement recorded in the case so nobody re-adds it. The bf16 arm, which is the one the narrowing actually buys, stays and is verified: same gfx1151 run, all three cases' bf16 exactness green with the fix, and all three red without it. Mutating NarrowTo back to the identity reds line 185 (SiluAndMul), 251 (GeluAndMul) and 317 (MoeSiluMul), two assertions each, then a byte-for-byte restore. So the gelu case discriminates on the arm that matters.
