2. Changes addressing bug https://nvbugspro.nvidia.com/bug/6772449: Updated performance configurations for Qwen3.6 to improve its performance on Spark.

• perf: LLMPerfRadar - TensorRT-LLM 1.4.0cc_test

Dev Engineer Review

• On SM 121, the Gemma 4 functional test and performance labels select FLASHINFER. Other SM versions retain the default backend.
• Qwen3.6-35B-A3B performance configurations add streaming settings, enable KV-cache block reuse, and select CUTEDSL for MoE. The MTP configuration also changes its GEMM backend choices and removes explicit FP8 KV-cache settings.
• The Nemotron-3.5-Lightning MTP configuration no longer sets a CUDA-graph maximum batch size. Verify that serving uses the intended default.
• No current review findings or test execution results were supplied. Review severity counts and pass status are unavailable.

QA Engineer Review

• Modified test code: tests/integration/defs/accuracy/test_llm_api_pytorch_multimodal.py.
• The test case remains TestGemma4_26B_A4B.test_nvfp4_no_mtp. On SM 121, it passes attn_backend="FLASHINFER" to LLM; other architectures use the default.
• The changed integration test’s test-list registration was not established. Coverage verdict: needs follow-up.

Per-File QA Perspective

• tests/integration/defs/accuracy/test_llm_api_pytorch_multimodal.py — Verify the Gemma4 NVFP4 no-MTP case on SM 121 and on a non-121 device. Test-list registration was not established.
• tests/integration/defs/perf/pytorch_model_config.py — Verify Qwen3.6 streaming, KV-cache reuse, MoE and GEMM backend settings, plus the Gemma4 backend selection on SM 121. Verify the effect of removing Nemotron’s CUDA-graph maximum batch size and the MTP KV-cache overrides.

Walkthrough

The changes update Qwen3.6-35B-A3B NVFP4 benchmark settings, remove a Nemotron-3.5-Lightning CUDA-graph batch-size setting, and select FLASHINFER for Gemma 4 on SM version 121.

Changes

PyTorch model test configurations

Layer / File(s)	Summary
NVFP4 and serving configurations tests/integration/defs/perf/pytorch_model_config.py	Adds streaming settings to the Qwen3.6-35B-A3B NVFP4 benchmark configurations. The MTP configuration uses CUTEDSL, adds NVFP4 GEMM backend choices, and no longer sets an FP8 KV-cache dtype or disables block reuse. Removes the Nemotron-3.5-Lightning CUDA-graph maximum batch size.
Gemma 4 backend selection tests/integration/defs/accuracy/test_llm_api_pytorch_multimodal.py, tests/integration/defs/perf/pytorch_model_config.py	When the detected SM version is 121, the Gemma 4 accuracy test and performance model labels use FLASHINFER. Other SM versions retain the model-default backend.

tests/integration/defs/perf/pytorch_model_config.py (1)

917-920: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Clarify the Gemma 4 backend comment.

get_model_yaml_config() applies the explicit FLASHINFER override for gemma_4_ labels on SM121, and test_perf.py writes the returned configuration to the benchmark and serve YAML files. The existing comment is incomplete because it does not mention this SM121 exception.

Suggested fix

-        # head_dim 256/512. The FLASHINFER backend is selected by the model's
-        # own get_model_defaults(), so it is not repeated here. KV-cache reuse
-        # is disabled to match the validated accuracy configuration.
+        # head_dim 256/512. Model defaults select FLASHINFER on other GPUs;
+        # the SM121 override is applied below. KV-cache reuse is disabled to
+        # match the validated accuracy configuration.

Test coverage: no test functions or cases changed. Gemma 4 performance cases are listed in tests/integration/test_lists/qa/llm_perf_core.yml and tests/integration/test_lists/qa/llm_spark_perf.yml. Coverage is sufficient for this configuration-only change.
