perf(pt): fuse rotate+mix backward segment reduction (DP_ROT_MIX_BWD_FUSED_INFER) - #6057
long-yi-2019 wants to merge 6 commits into
Conversation
…FUSED_INFER) Opt-in (default off) via DP_ROT_MIX_BWD_FUSED_INFER. The SO(2) rotate+mix backward currently writes the per-edge dense node gradient gxe (E, D, C_wide) to HBM and reads it back in segment_sum. The fused kernel gives each source node's CSR segment to one program, recomputes the per-edge rotation backward in registers (same math as the edge-block kernel), and accumulates the node gradient on chip, so gxe is never materialized. Measured on the SeZM N=4096 eval workload (RTX 5090, torch 2.12.1+cu130, DP_COMPILE_INFER=1): per-eval 153.5 -> 149.0 ms (-2.9%), eliminating a ~2.6 GB transient allocation and ~5.3 GB/frame of HBM round-trip. Peak VRAM is unchanged at this workload (the eliminated transient does not coincide with the frame's peak allocation). grad_wigner/grad_kc keep the unfused kernel's per-edge math (fp32 rounding agreement); grad_x changes its per-segment accumulation order (fp32 rounding agreement). Requires rank <= 1 like the edge-block variant; other shapes keep the unfused path. Tests: TestSeZMTritonRotMixBwdFused, 3 passed / 4 subtests.

Reviewed the three-file change at this exact head, its CSR callers, the unfused backward/reference formulas, and the existing review. The first-order indexing and reduction math look consistent, but the existing higher-order-autograd issue is a merge blocker.
I independently traced the issue already reported at #6057 (comment), so I am not adding a duplicate inline thread. SO2Convolution binds _TritonRotateMix for training when triton_train_level >= 1 and hidden_channels >= 128. _rotate_mix_backward then selects the new operator solely from the flag and rank <= 1. The new operator registers a fake implementation but no autograd formula, while the replaced backward and segment-sum operators both have formulas for the next derivative. Enabling the advertised inference flag can therefore route force-loss/higher-order differentiation into an operator without that support. Preserve the supported path for those callers, or implement and test the fused operator's higher-order formula; the documentation currently promises training is unaffected.
Additional validation: I replayed the exact new kernel body through a NumPy shim against independent dense first-order formulas for 24 cases: ranks 0/1, lmax 1–4, one/two focuses, padded channel lanes, and empty, isolated, short, chunk-tail and highly uneven CSR segments. All three gradients agreed within the replay's fp32 tolerances, with no masked out-of-bounds accesses. I also ran the exact flag-parser test in isolation. This checks arithmetic/indexing only; it does not establish Triton compilation, GPU numerics, autograd, or performance.
The committed tests cover fp32 first-order parity and dispatch, but not create_graph=True/double backward, non-power-of-two channel widths, or the rank>1 fallback. Adding higher-order coverage with the flag enabled is important for the blocker above. The pure environment-parser test can also run outside the CUDA-gated class.
At 12:02 UTC, the exact-head test/build/CodeQL workflows are action_required and provide no independent execution evidence. No local PyTorch/CUDA/Triton runtime was available, and I did not reproduce the reported performance measurements.

Review finding (PR deepmodeling#6057): the Triton rotate+mix path also binds for training (triton_train_level >= 1 with wide channels), and the fused operator registers only a fake implementation with no next-derivative formula, while the unfused backward and segment-sum operators carry formulas for the next derivative. Selecting the fused operator on the flag alone could therefore route force-loss / create_graph differentiation into the unsupported operator. The backward now engages the fused path only when no higher-order gradient graph is being built (torch.is_grad_enabled() is False inside the backward); create_graph callers keep the supported unfused pair. The gate docstring no longer claims the path is inference-only. Tests: higher-order backward with the flag on (create_graph=True twice, compares the second-order results across flag settings), rank>1 fallback agreement (with a warm-up call: the rank>1 per-edge chain has a first-call-vs-steady-state value difference on current master, reproduced without this change), and the env-flag parser moved out of the CUDA-gated class.
|
Addressed in 6b2e7d7, taking the "preserve the supported path" option:
One upstream observation found while testing this (not caused by this change; happy to file a separate issue): on current master the rank>1 per-edge rotate+mix backward returns a different value on its first invocation than on every subsequent one (steady-state calls are bitwise identical after that; reproduced with a minimal script on 5b9fe07 without this PR). The production rank<=1 block path does not show this. The new rank>1 test warms up once and documents it.

Reviewed only 3b3e937..6b2e7d7 and the relevant existing operator/fixture contracts. The previous higher-order-autograd blocker is fixed at the dispatch boundary: create_graph=True retains the backward + segment-sum pair with their registered next-derivative formulas. The revised documentation accurately permits ordinary first-order training backward, and the parser test is now outside the CUDA-gated class.
One new blocking defect is attached inline: the added rank-2 fallback test still receives rank-1-sized buffers from _inputs. This produces out-of-bounds kernel reads and a too-small grad_kc output for the kernel's writes. A warm-up does not make that test valid, and the first-call difference should be reassessed using correctly shaped buffers before attributing it to current master.
Focused verification:
- Executed the exact _rotate_mix_backward body with call-recording operator doubles across all 12 combinations of flag off/on, rank 0/1/2, and grad mode off/on; every dispatch matched the intended contract.
- Executed the exact test fixture with NumPy allocation doubles, then replayed the unchanged forward/backward kernel bodies with bounds-checking pointer/Triton-language shims. The rank-2 fixture reproduced out-of-bounds cb and kc reads and grad_kc writes. The eager reference's corresponding kc reshape also rejects this element count.
- Inspected the new higher-order test and the unchanged registered second-order path. These local checks are structural/arithmetic checks, not actual PyTorch autograd or GPU execution.
The author's reported five passing GPU tests do not resolve the invalid fixture. Exact-head test/build/CodeQL workflows remain action_required at 13:04 UTC, so no independent CI execution is available yet.

[P1] Allocate rank-2-sized buffers before calling the kernels
_inputs only distinguishes rank == 0 from nonzero rank. For these arguments it returns kc with shape (20000, 25) and cb with shape (1, 64), but rank=2 requires (20000, 50) (or an equivalent trailing rank dimension) and (2, 64). The generic forward kernel loads cb[r * CW + chan] and kc[edge * KSZ * rank + ...]; both exceed these allocations. Worse, _rotate_mix_bwd_impl creates grad_kc with empty_like(kc), and the backward kernel writes the same rank-2 indexing beyond that output. This occurs even though the test only requests x's gradient.
Please make the fixture allocate every requested rank and rerun without treating warm-up as a workaround. A bounds-checked replay of the exact kernel bodies reproduces all three violations. The reported first-call instability cannot be attributed to the upstream kernel from this undersized fixture.
Review finding: _inputs allocated rank-1-sized buffers for rank>1 (kc (E, KSZ) instead of (E, KSZ*rank), cb (1, C_wide) instead of (rank, C_wide)), so the rank-2 fallback test fed the kernels out-of-bounds reads and a too-small grad_kc. The fixture now sizes both by rank. With correctly shaped buffers the previously observed first-call-vs-steady-state difference in that test disappears, so the warm-up call (and the earlier note attributing it to current master) is removed.

Scope:6b2e7d76..14c22ce only, plus the already-reviewed kernel buffer contract.
The rank-R fixture blocker from review5442704901 is resolved. kc now has EKSZrank elements, cb has rank*C_wide elements, and empty_like(kc) therefore provides the required grad_kc capacity. Rank0 behavior is unchanged and rank1 has the same shape as before. The invalid warm-up workaround is removed; the author's retraction of the claimed upstream first-call defect correctly distinguishes a bad fixture from a production issue.
I executed the exact updated _inputs body with NumPy allocation doubles for64 combinations of lmax1–4, narrow/wider channels, one/two focuses and rank0/1/2/3, checking all shapes and maximum flattened kc/cb/grad_kc address bounds. All passed. This is fixture/indexing validation, not actual PyTorch autograd, Triton compilation or GPU execution. The author separately reports5 tests/4 subtests on RTX5090 with no warm-up; I did not rerun that device result.
No new blocking defect found in this one-file delta; the higher-order fallback fix from6b2e7d76 remains unchanged. Existing CodeRabbit feedback about import-time versus descriptor-construction-time flag capture is a separate documented concern and is not duplicated inline here. Exact-head test/build/CodeQL workflows remain action_required, so no CI approval or blanket device qualification is implied. No code, branch, CI, auto-merge or merge action performed.
…import Follow-up to the review note on flag-capture timing: the repository convention for these switches is construction/call time, not module import. The backward now calls use_rot_mix_bwd_fused() directly (one environment lookup per backward invocation; a compiled graph still bakes in the value read at trace time), the import-time module constant is removed, and the gate docstring documents the timing. Tests flip the environment variable instead of the removed module constant.

Also addressed the remaining flag-capture note in b1ec712: the backward now reads the gate via All 5 tests / 4 subtests still pass (RTX 5090, torch 2.12.1+cu130). |

Reviewed delta 14c22ce → b1ec712, plus its backward dispatch context. No new blocking defect found.
Calling use_rot_mix_bwd_fused() inside backward resolves import-time capture. The rank <= 1 and not torch.is_grad_enabled() guards are preserved, so higher-order differentiation retains the supported unfused path. Updated tests change the environment after forward and restore it in finally blocks. Compiled graphs still use the value observed during tracing; this change does not claim dynamic retracing of an existing graph.
Independent focused validation: all three files pass syntax checks; eight cases exercise the exact environment parser; the exact backward body passes all 12 flag × rank 0/1/2 × grad-mode combinations with recording operator doubles, including gradient return slots and channel-basis dispatch. This checks source dispatch, not actual PyTorch autograd, Triton compilation, GPU numerics or compiled-graph capture. The prior rank-fixture and higher-order findings remain resolved; they were not re-reviewed or duplicated.
At this check, seven build/test/CodeQL workflows remain action_required; pre-commit passes and RTD fails. No CI activation, source changes or merge action was performed. Minor prose still referring to import capture/the removed constant can be updated separately.
The higher-order-backward test still referenced _ROT_MIX_BWD_FUSED, a module constant that no longer exists; name the environment variable instead.

Motivation
The SO(2) rotate+mix backward materializes the per-edge dense node
gradient
gxe(E, D, C_wide)to HBM and reads it straight back insezm_triton::segment_sum. At the SeZM N=4096 eval workload(E ~ 646k, C_wide = 64) that is a ~2.6 GB transient allocation and
~5.3 GB/frame of HBM round-trip for a reduction.
Change
Opt-in via
DP_ROT_MIX_BWD_FUSED_INFER(default OFF, read when thebackward runs via
use_rot_mix_bwd_fused(), matching the repository'sconvention of construction/call-time reads for these switches).
When enabled, and
rank <= 1(the same regime as the edge-blockkernel), a single source-segmented kernel replaces the pair: one
program per source node walks its CSR segment (
src_order/src_rowptr, which the forward already saves for the backward),recomputes the per-edge rotation backward in registers with exactly the
edge-block kernel's math, and accumulates the node gradient on chip --
gxenever exists.grad_wigner/grad_kckeep the unfused kernel's per-edge math(fp32-rounding agreement; instruction scheduling differs);
grad_xchanges its per-segment accumulation order (chunked
tl.sum), so italso agrees at fp32-rounding level. Other shapes keep the unfused
path.
Measurements
SeZM model, N=4096 atoms (~646k edges), RTX 5090, torch 2.12.1+cu130,
DP_COMPILE_INFER=1, throughput mode (16 evals, P50):Peak VRAM is unchanged at this workload: the eliminated transient does
not coincide with the frame's peak allocation; what it removes is the
allocation itself and the HBM round-trip.
Accuracy (same input, flag off vs on, compiled eval): energy rel diff
1.5e-10; max force diff 4.7e-6 with max |f| ~ 3.9 (fp32 rounding level,
consistent with the accumulation-order change).
