Description

Fixes intermittent NVFP4 gather failures in test_cute_dsl_moe.py on Rubin and an invalid empty launch in the FP4/MXFP8 quantize kernels.

  • Test references: the act-fusion and SiTU tests left CPU reference padding uninitialized, which could make the output scale NaN; the small-token test selected reference rows incorrectly; ReLU2 used a BF16 reference for an FP32 epilogue.
  • Empty quantize launch: invokeFP4Quantization / invokeMxFP8Quantization launched a zero-size grid for empty inputs, leaving a pending CUDA error that failed the next unrelated CUDA call. They now return early.

Test Coverage

On Rubin: the affected NVFP4 gather tests pass in all runs with the test fix and fail without it. test_cute_dsl_nvfp4_quantize_empty_input_rubin now checks that no CUDA error is left pending.

PR Checklist

  • Please check this after reviewing the above items as appropriate for this PR.

Dev Engineer Review

  • invokeFP4Quantization and invokeMxFP8Quantization now return when a launch dimension is nonpositive. This avoids zero-size CUDA grid launches. Verify that callers expect a no-op for empty inputs and that positive-dimension inputs retain the existing launch behavior.
  • The changes are limited to quantization launch handling and NVFP4 test references.

QA Engineer Review

  • tests/unittest/_torch/thop/parallel/test_cute_dsl_moe.py updates NVFP4 gather references, corrects small-token valid-row selection, and adds an FP32 reference quantizer for the ReLU2 epilogue. It also adds an empty-input test that checks for a pending CUDA error.
  • The test file has an existing CI list entry for test_count_native_cutedsl_matches_legacy_sort_bitwise. The new NVFP4 tests are not listed in the supplied search results. The author reports that the affected gather tests pass in Rubin runs with the reference fixes, and that the empty-input test checks for a pending CUDA error. Coverage verdict: needs follow-up because the new tests are not listed.

Per-File QA Perspective

  • cpp/tensorrt_llm/kernels/quantization.cu — Empty inputs with nonpositive batch or matrix dimensions now skip kernel launches in both quantization functions. Verify this no-op behavior and confirm positive-dimension inputs still launch as expected.
  • tests/unittest/_torch/thop/parallel/test_cute_dsl_moe.py — Updates NVFP4 gather references and adds empty-input quantization coverage. The CI list contains a different test from this file; the new tests are not listed in the supplied search results.

Walkthrough

The FP4 and MXFP8 quantization entry points now return for nonpositive dimensions. The MoE test references add an FP32 NVFP4 quantizer and update gathered buffers and Rubin row handling.

Changes

Empty-dimension quantization guards

Layer / File(s) Summary
Skip quantization for nonpositive dimensions
cpp/tensorrt_llm/kernels/quantization.cu, tests/unittest/_torch/thop/parallel/test_cute_dsl_moe.py
The FP4 and MXFP8 entry points return before launch setup when their specified dimensions are nonpositive. The empty-input test launches and synchronizes a CUDA operation afterward.

Quantized MoE reference updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Add FP32 NVFP4 reference quantization
tests/unittest/_torch/thop/parallel/test_cute_dsl_moe.py
The new reference quantizer calculates block scales, rounds E2M1 midpoint ties to even, packs signed nibbles, and returns swizzled scales. The Blackwell and Rubin Relu2 references use FP32 GEMM output with this quantizer.
Update gathered buffers and Rubin row handling
tests/unittest/_torch/thop/parallel/test_cute_dsl_moe.py
Blackwell, Rubin, and SiTU Rubin gathered reference buffers are zero-initialized. The small-token Rubin reference uses tile limits to identify valid rows and gathers the referenced tokens.

A valid Rubin small-token output row is omitted from the assertion, so a narrow regression could pass this test. Align the validation mask with the valid rows before relying on this coverage.

🟡 Minor · Use routing metadata for the output-validation mask. · test_cute_dsl_moe.py:1972-1973

tests/unittest/_torch/thop/parallel/test_cute_dsl_moe.py:1972-1973
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use routing metadata for the output-validation mask.

The corrected gather loop accepts expanded index zero at any valid row. This mask still excludes that row unless it is row zero. If routing places expanded index zero later, the test does not compare its output and can pass despite an incorrect result for that row.

Build valid_token_mask from tile_idx_to_mn_limit, as the gather loop now does. Remove the unconditional row-zero override.

As per path instructions, flag “missing, incorrect, overly weak, or non-observable assertions.”

…ize launches

- Zero-initialize the CPU reference padding in the NVFP4 gather act-fusion
  and SiTU tests; uninitialized padding could poison the output scale.
- Gather small-token reference rows by the tile mn_limit, including
  expanded index zero.
- Use an FP32 reference for the Rubin ReLU2 epilogue.
- Return early from invokeFP4Quantization and invokeMxFP8Quantization on
  empty inputs instead of launching a zero-size grid, which left a pending
  CUDA error for the next launch.

…lackwell gather test

The Relu2 reference fix was applied only to the Rubin variant. The Blackwell
test is parameterized over the same [Swiglu, Relu2] set, so it kept computing
c_ref in bfloat16 and quantizing with fp4_quantize, adding a rounding step the
fused FP32 epilogue does not perform. A small population of elements then falls
outside rtol=1e-4.

Mirror the Rubin branch: request a float32 reference for Relu2 and quantize it
with _nvfp4_quantize_fp32_ref.

The test seeds no RNG, so the failure depends on the draw and surfaces as
intermittent CI flakiness. Verified on GB200 (SM100) with a seed-injecting
fixture: at seed 4 the unfixed test reports 66 passed / 6 failed with
"Mismatch percentage is 0.050473 for rtol 0.000100", and the fixed test reports
72 passed. Both repeated twice with identical results. CI hit the same failure
at 0.050049 on DGX_B200-PyTorch-9.
