Description

Closes nvbug 6655990 (post-merge WAN 2.2 multi-GPU LPIPS regression on B200, builds ≥ 2924).

Root cause. PR #17693 routes the unquantized bf16 MLP up-projection through a cuBLASLt GELU-tanh epilogue (torch._addmm_activation(use_gelu=True)) that applies GELU to the fp32 accumulator instead of the bf16-rounded GEMM output. The per-layer delta is one bf16 ULP, but it shifts the bf16 rounding trajectory of every WAN2.2 run: test_wan22_t2v_lpips_against_golden_multi_gpu[attn2d_2x2] stepped 0.224261 → 0.279512 across the 0.25 gate exactly at post-merge build 2924 (deterministic across builds/nodes), with no quality change. Causally verified on 4×B200 (release:1.3.0rc24, same torch 2.12.0a0+5aff3928d8.nv26.05 as CI) by toggling only the #17693 mlp.py hunks — and, most tellingly: two single-GPU fully-eager runs differing only by those hunks measure LPIPS 0.2588 apart. The benign trajectory shift alone exceeds the old threshold, so a frozen-golden anchor cannot hold a tight bound (the golden's own configuration, single-GPU fully-eager, measures 0.2223/0.2568 against the golden on the post-/pre-#17693 stacks).

Fix: gate the actual invariant. These tests exist to protect "parallelism does not change the output", so the primary gate now compares every variant against a fully-eager single-GPU reference generated in-session at the current build (session-scoped fixture, one ~3-minute generation amortized over all variants in the pytest session). Both sides shift together under benign whole-build numerics changes, so the #17693 class of breakage cannot fire this gate. The frozen golden is kept only as a loose catastrophic backstop (0.32), and the nvbug 6655990 waiver is removed.

Calibration (4×B200, all ten variants, measured on both the pre- and post-#17693 stacks). The within-build distribution is bimodal, so each variant carries its class threshold:

variant within-build LPIPS (post- / pre-#17693 stack) vs frozen golden class → bound
ulysses4 0.000000 / — 0.2223 exact → 0.05
cfg2_ulysses2 0.000000 / — 0.2223 exact → 0.05
cfg2_ulysses2_attn2d_2x1 0.000000 / — 0.2223 exact → 0.05
attn2d_2x2 0.2597 / 0.2232 0.2617 reordering → 0.32
attn2d_2x2_ulysses2 0.2597 (bit-identical to attn2d_2x2) 0.2617 reordering → 0.32
tp2 0.2098 / 0.2036 0.2294 reordering → 0.32
cfg2_tp2, tp2_ulysses2, tp2_attn2d_2x1 0.2098 (bit-identical to tp2) 0.2294 reordering → 0.32
tp3 0.2618 / — 0.2367 reordering → 0.32
seed-43 control (genuinely different output) 0.6656 far above both bounds

Findings baked into the class comments:

  • CFG splitting, Ulysses head repartition, and the attn2d head-dim split are bit-exact (GEMM rows and attention heads are reduction-order invariant) — and they compose exactly: adding them on top of tp2 or attn2d_2x2 changes the output by exactly 0.0. The old 0.25 gate could not detect even a total loss of this exactness; the new 0.05 bound can.
  • TP GEMM splits and the attn2d sequence-KV split reorder reductions; the one-ULP seed amplifies over 4 denoising steps into a saturation band (0.20–0.26). 0.32 keeps ≥0.058 headroom over the worst measurement on either stack while the genuinely-different-output control sits at 0.67.
  • Within-build scores re-anchor at every build — no ratchet against an aging golden.

Test Coverage

  • All ten test_wan22_t2v_lpips_against_golden_multi_gpu / ..._tp variants (names unchanged — test-db lists and the nvbug 6535765 waivers reference them) now assert the within-build gate plus the golden backstop; each _run_lpips_eval line and each assertion is labeled so failures identify the gate.
  • [attn2d_2x2] unwaived here; exercised via --extra-stage "DGX_B200-4_GPUs-PyTorch-Post-Merge-3".
  • Verified locally on 4×B200 with the real pytest harness: [tp2] + [attn2d_2x2] in one session (reference fixture generated once and reused, both gates evaluated) on the rc24+[TRTLLM-15398][perf] VisualGen MLP: cublasLt GELU-tanh epilogue for the unquantized bf16 path #17693 stack.
  • _assert_lpips_below_threshold keeps full backward compatibility (new label arg defaults to "").

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The VisualGen multi-GPU and tensor-parallel LPIPS tests now use a session-scoped single-GPU reference. Each variant has a specific within-build threshold, and the frozen golden remains a loose quality backstop. The related waiver was removed.

Multi-GPU and tensor-parallel variants carry individual thresholds. Tests compare against the current-build reference first and the frozen golden second. LPIPS failures can include a label, and the attn2d_2x2 waiver was removed.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d006e

The change updates WAN multi-GPU validation to use an in-session reference, but it may spend several minutes generating that reference before skipping on hosts without enough GPUs; this is a bounded test-resource risk that should have explicit owner awareness or follow-up. No production behavior risk is identified.

…hin-build reference and unwaive

The multi-GPU/TP WAN2.2 LPIPS tests exist to protect one invariant:
parallelism does not change the output. They previously measured distance
to a frozen golden video, which conflates parallelism error with
whole-build numerics drift: PR NVIDIA#17693 (cuBLASLt GELU-tanh epilogue on the
unquantized bf16 MLP path) applies GELU to the fp32 accumulator, shifting
the bf16 rounding trajectory of every WAN2.2 run, and stepped
[attn2d_2x2] 0.224261 -> 0.279512 across the 0.25 gate at post-merge
build 2924 with no quality change. On an otherwise identical stack
(4xB200, rc24 image, CI torch 2.12.0a0+...nv26.05), toggling only the
NVIDIA#17693 mlp.py hunks moves two single-GPU fully-eager runs 0.2588 apart:
the benign trajectory shift alone exceeds the old threshold, so
golden-anchored gating cannot hold a tight bound.

Restructure the gate (test names kept; test-db lists and waives.txt
reference them):

- Primary: score every variant against a fully-eager single-GPU
  reference generated in-session at the current build (session-scoped
  fixture; one ~3-minute generation amortized over all variants in the
  pytest session). Both sides shift together under benign numerics
  changes, so this gate fails only when parallelism itself changes the
  output. Calibrated per variant on 4xB200 across all ten variants on
  both the pre- and post-NVIDIA#17693 stacks; the distribution is bimodal:
  * exact class (0.05): ulysses4, cfg2_ulysses2 and
    cfg2_ulysses2_attn2d_2x1 reproduce the single-GPU output bit-exactly
    (LPIPS 0.000000) -- CFG splitting, Ulysses head repartition and the
    attn2d head-dim split are reduction-order invariant. The old 0.25
    gate could not see even a total loss of that exactness; 0.05 can.
  * reduction-reordering class (0.32): TP GEMM splits and the attn2d
    sequence-KV split reorder floating-point reductions; the one-ULP
    seed amplifies over the 4 denoising steps to a saturation band
    (measured: tp2-family 0.2098/0.2036 on the post-/pre-NVIDIA#17693 stacks,
    attn2d_2x2-family 0.2597/0.2232, tp3 0.2618); compositions are
    bit-stable (cfg, ulysses and attn2d-head add exactly 0.0 on top of
    tp2 or attn2d_2x2). A genuinely different output (seed-43 control)
    measures 0.6656, well above the bound.
- Backstop: keep the frozen-golden comparison at 0.32 as a
  catastrophic-quality bound. The single-GPU fully-eager run (the
  golden's own configuration) already measures 0.2223 (post-NVIDIA#17693) /
  0.2568 (pre-NVIDIA#17693) against the golden, so distances inside the
  decorrelation band carry no signal; only far-from-everything outputs
  should fail it.
- Remove the nvbug 6655990 waiver for [attn2d_2x2].
- _assert_lpips_below_threshold gains an optional label so a failing
  gate identifies itself in the junit message.

Same root cause as nvbug 6655986 (LTX-2, recalibrated in PR NVIDIA#18384);
this change additionally makes the WAN multi-GPU suite structurally
immune to the drift class: within-build scores re-anchor at every build
instead of accumulating against an aging golden.

Defer reference generation until after the GPU-capacity skip.

Pytest resolves wan22_within_build_reference before the test enters _run_wan22_t2v_lpips_case, where Line 337 performs the GPU skip. A selected multi-GPU test on a one-GPU host will generate the full single-GPU reference video and then skip.

Make the session fixture return a lazy, cached reference factory. Call that factory only after _skip_if_insufficient_gpus_for_parallel. Apply the same change at Line 426.
