perf(dsv4): tile C128 compression to reduce register spills - #1678
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
For compression ratio 128, fused_compress now runs a scratch-backed store stage followed by a load stage. The DSV4 workspace allocates scratch storage. Other compression ratios continue to use one kernel stage.
Changes: C128 Compression
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Scratch allocation and capacity validation lightllm/models/deepseek_v4/workspace.py, lightllm/models/deepseek_v4/model.py, unit_tests/models/deepseek_v4/test_c128_workspace.py
The workspace allocates C128 scratch regions and validates requested regions and token counts. Model initialization calls the allocation method. Tests cover capacity across decode, prefill, overlap, and graph configurations.
Kernel scratch modes and stage orchestration lightllm/models/deepseek_v4/triton_kernel/compressor.py, lightllm/models/deepseek_v4/layer_infer/compressor.py
The kernel can load compressed vectors from scratch or store computed vectors before normalization, RoPE, and output writing. The non-load path tiles dimension offsets. For ratio 128, fused_compress runs store and load stages; other ratios use one stage.
Compression result and replay validation unit_tests/models/deepseek_v4/test_c128_workspace.py
CUDA tests compare compressed results with a reference, check scratch regions and guard rows, exercise graph capture and replay, and verify capacity errors occur before kernel launch.
A sufficiently large single-DP decode batch may be rejected before compression, interrupting inference. Resolve the scratch-capacity mismatch before merging.

Keep the full decode capacity for the single-DP backend.
enable_decode_microbatch_overlap is not restricted to dp > 1. With dp == 1, the server uses ChunkedPrefillBackend, which sends the full decode batch to model.forward. The scheduler does not apply batch_max_tokens to decode requests.
For max_req_num=256, batch_max_tokens=128, tp=1, and CUDA Graph disabled, 129 decode requests can reach the C128 compressor while the current scratch capacity is only 128 rows. get_c128_compress_scratch then raises ValueError and can stop the inference loop.
Only halve the decode budget when the selected backend splits the batch, or reserve the full decode capacity.

74:
Update the decode_requests adjustment controlled by
enable_decode_microbatch_overlap so it halves capacity only when the selected
backend splits the decode batch; preserve full decode capacity for backends that
send the full batch to model.forward. Use the backend-selection condition, such
as dp > 1 only if it reliably identifies the splitting backend.

C128 压缩原来在一个大 kernel 内完成窗口归约、归一化、RoPE 和打包,容易产生寄存器溢出。本 PR 先按 64 维 tile 计算 FP32 窗口压缩结果,再完成 norm/RoPE/pack;C4 与 indexer 保持单阶段。
实现与容量安全
复用现有模型 workspace 和统一 attention-state 接口,scratch 仍在 KV 容量规划之前分配。
每个 region 的容量取以下上界的最大值:
C128 scratch 单独规划,不扩大 C4/prefill-Q workspace。发射前通过
get_c128_compress_scratch()检查 region 和实际行数;即使 warmup 没有跨 C128 边界,容量不足也会提前报错。调用处使用window_compress、norm_rope_pack阶段名,明确两次发射的依赖。已使用实际 workspace 类和
prepare_decode_inputs()复现原容量缺陷:batch_max_tokens=256、本 DP 256 个请求、MTP step=3 时,原 scratch 仅 256 行,而 decode 为 1024 行;overlap 时每 region 为 512 行。第一个越界压缩行是 row=259。修复后的容量为:一般公式为
regions × capacity × head_dim × 4字节;8192 行、head512 时每 region 约 16 MiB。性能证据及限制
已有 H200 CUDA Graph 微测,head512、每请求 4 个 verify token,包含压缩和 partial-state 保存:
无边界时仍多发一个 kernel:16/64 请求约为 9.94→11.45 μs、10.78→14.18 μs。这些数字在容量修复前采集,本次没有修改 GPU 算法,但没有重测最终调用处的 eager 开销,也没有按真实 batch 长度和边界密度做服务对照。
收益取决于实际边界分布,尤其是小 batch、MTP 和请求长度同步推进的场景。跨边界的最高局部倍率不能代表长期平均 decode 收益,不承诺所有负载都会加速。
验证
当前仓库内单元测试已在完整依赖环境执行通过;未重启服务或新增完整模型压测。
已提交的单元测试
unit_tests/models/deepseek_v4/test_c128_workspace.py:85 项通过。覆盖实际 MTP 输入展开、TP/SP 与 Graph padding、region 容量、短 scratch 提前拒绝,以及真实 GPU 压缩结果、保护区、两路 stream、无边界 capture 后跨边界 replay。计算结果使用独立 PyTorch reference 检查,不依赖仓库外 baseline 文件。本次在包含完整 FlashMLA 依赖的 H200/CUDA 13.0 环境运行,直接导入当前实现。
Black、Flake8 通过。本次只补充测试,未改变推理实现。
