From 3f25a3a427f7c3feae977c6849beafeab506ccee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Chen Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 17:39:19 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] MegaMoE: imbalance-aware block_m selection (opt-in, strict fallback) Size block_m from realized per-expert token counts under skewed routing instead of the uniform mean, minimizing a wall-cost objective (padded rows weighted by SM100 UMMA M-utilization efficiency). Gated by DG_MEGA_MOE_IMBALANCE_AWARE_BLOCK_M; strict fallback guarantees the chosen block_m is never coarser than the default, so the balanced case is unchanged. Adds host-side unit tests, a Zipf --skew-alpha router bias for A/B benchmarking, and an on-GPU baseline-vs-adaptive harness. --- IMBALANCE_BLOCK_M.md | 101 +++++++++++++ csrc/apis/mega.hpp | 19 ++- csrc/jit_kernels/heuristics/mega_moe.hpp | 112 +++++++++++++- .../impls/sm100_fp8_fp4_mega_moe.hpp | 8 +- scripts/bench_imbalance_block_m.sh | 47 ++++++ tests/test_imbalance_block_m.py | 141 ++++++++++++++++++ tests/test_mega_moe.py | 13 ++ 7 files changed, 434 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) create mode 100644 IMBALANCE_BLOCK_M.md create mode 100644 scripts/bench_imbalance_block_m.sh create mode 100644 tests/test_imbalance_block_m.py diff --git a/IMBALANCE_BLOCK_M.md b/IMBALANCE_BLOCK_M.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..dc87cfb59a --- /dev/null +++ b/IMBALANCE_BLOCK_M.md @@ -0,0 +1,101 @@ +# Imbalance-Aware `block_m` Selection for DeepGEMM MegaMoE + +**Branch:** `feature/imbalance-aware-block-m` +**Base commit:** `1f6f3f3` (deepseek-ai/DeepGEMM, 2026-07-06) +**Scope:** SM100 FP8×FP4 MegaMoE decode path. Opt-in, default-off, strict fallback. + +--- + +## 1. Problem + +The MegaMoE block-config heuristic +(`get_block_config_for_mega_moe`) picks a **single global `block_m`** from the +**mean** tokens-per-expert: + +``` +mean = num_tokens * num_ranks * num_topk / num_experts +mean<=8.5 ->16 ; <=16.5 ->32 ; <=32.5 ->64 ; <=64.5 ->96 ; <=96.5 ->128 ; else ->192 +``` + +Real MoE routing is **skewed** (Zipf-like): a few hot experts get most tokens, +most experts get far fewer than the mean. The kernel MMAs +`ceil(c_e / block_m) * block_m` rows per expert — **padding included**. A +mean-sized `block_m` therefore pads all the cold experts heavily, wasting +tensor-core cycles. Internal TRT-LLM DSV4 syncs repeatedly flag: +> "The 1st gap contributor is still megamoe, and imbalance is one of the problems." + +## 2. Mechanism + +When `DG_MEGA_MOE_IMBALANCE_AWARE_BLOCK_M=1` and per-expert receive stats are +available, we choose `block_m` from the **realized** counts by minimizing a +**wall-cost** objective (not raw padded rows): + +``` +wall_cost(b) = ( Σ_e ceil(c_e / b) * b ) / eta(b) +``` + +where `eta(b)` is a monotone SM100 UMMA M-utilization efficiency +(`eta(16)=0.35 … eta(96)=0.97 … eta(≥128)=1.0`). Using padded rows *alone* +would always pick the smallest `block_m`; the efficiency weight prevents that +by charging small tiles for tensor-core under-utilization. This is the key +correction that makes the predicted gain **honest**. + +The chosen `block_m` is mapped back to an "effective tokens-per-expert" fed +into the existing tier table, so **no kernel-shape changes** are needed — we +reuse the candidate set the kernel already supports (`kCandidateBlockM`). + +**Strict fallback:** `return min(eff, mean_tpe)` guarantees the adaptive path +**never selects a coarser `block_m`** than the default.

Baseline 启发式 + +上游 `get_num_experts_per_wave_for_mega_moe` 主要执行以下步骤： + +1. 根据 ring buffer 容量得到每个 wave 可容纳的专家数上限； +2. 用平均 tokens/expert 估计每个专家的 M tile 数； +3. 根据 L1 N tile 数估计每个专家产生的 CTA 数； +4. 使用固定 imbalance factor 估计填满全部 SM 所需的最少专家数； +5. 在一个有限区间内搜索，使最后一个 partial wave 尽量饱满。 + +这个启发式是可靠的通用 fallback，但平均值会丢失两个重要信号： + +- 有多少本地专家实际收到 token； +- 专家 token 数的离散程度（探索阶段使用，最终策略不再依赖该指标）。 + +Adaptive Wave Sizing 不重写这套逻辑，而是先完整计算 upstream 结果，只在 +经过实机校准的条件内替换 wave size；其他情况直接返回 upstream 结果。 + +## 3. 探索过程与被淘汰的方案 + +### 3.1 Imbalance-aware `block_m` + +第一版思路根据真实专家 token 数缩小 `block_m`，希望减少冷专家的 padding。 +虽然它能降低理论 padded rows，但 B200 张量核的 M 维利用率、tile 调度开销和 +流水线行为不能由 padded rows 单独描述。完整 block_m 网格校准显示，该策略在 +偏斜路由下最差会使慢 rank 回退约 **31%**。 + +因此最终提交删除了生产用的 imbalance-aware `block_m` 选择器，只保留 +`DG_MEGA_MOE_FORCE_BLOCK_M` 作为校准钩子。生产路径继续使用 upstream +block_m。 + +### 3.2 每次 launch 同步读取路由统计 + +第二版直接在每次 MegaMoE 调用前将累计 receive stats 从 GPU 拷贝到 CPU。 +配置本身能够找到更快的 wave size，但同步 D2H 会破坏 kernel 提交节奏，并可能 +影响 GPU 时钟。same-process A/B 中整体约回退 **0.8%**，因此这一实现也被淘汰。 + +### 3.3 缓存统计窗口 + +最终实现只在启动阶段取得两个快照来形成有效 delta，之后缓存该分布，每 256 +次 launch 刷新一次。这样稳态的绝大多数调用不发生 D2H，也不会因为累计计数 +持续增长而反复生成不同 JIT 配置。 + +## 4. 最终统计采样实现 + +入口位于 `csrc/apis/mega.hpp`。每个线程维护一个 `thread_local` cache： + +- receive-stats device pointer； +- 上一次累计计数 `previous_cumulative`； +- 最近一次有效窗口 delta `cached_delta`； +- 距离上次刷新的调用数； +- 当前 cache 是否有效。 + +累计统计不能直接用于策略判断，因为其绝对值会随运行时间增长。刷新时对每个 +本地专家计算： + +```text +delta[e] = current_cumulative[e] - previous_cumulative[e] +``` + +只有所有 delta 非负且总和大于零时，窗口才有效。以下情况严格 fallback： + +- 第一次看到该统计 tensor； +- tensor 指针或长度变化； +- 累计计数回绕或被重置； +- 窗口 delta 总和为零； +- 未提供统计 tensor； +- 未设置启用开关。 + +有效 delta 会被传入 FP8×FP4 MegaMoE JIT heuristic。API 会先计算 +expected tokens/expert；未命中校准 shape 或 tokens 窗口时完全跳过 +receive-stat D2H，而不是采样后再由 heuristic fallback。窗口内刷新间隔固定为 +256 launch；在缓存命中路径中没有同步 D2H。 + +## 5. 最终决策规则 + +定义： + +```text +E_local = num_experts / num_ranks +expected_tpe = num_tokens * num_topk / E_local +active_ratio = count(recv[e] > 0) / E_local +``` + +最终策略的判断顺序如下： + +```text +default_wave = upstream_heuristic(...) + +if adaptive flag 未启用或 stats 无效: + return default_wave + +if not (127.5 < expected_tpe <= 128.5): + return default_wave + +if active_ratio <= 0.92: + candidate = 8 # 稀疏/高偏斜，优先判断 +else: + candidate = default_wave # balanced 与中等偏斜 + +if candidate 超过 ring capacity: + return default_wave +return candidate +``` + +探索阶段曾为 balanced 路由选择 wave 12。前三轮测量为正，但新增独立 6×30 +复验中回退 1.276%，且 0/6 获胜，说明收益不稳定。因此最终生产策略删除 wave +12 分支，只保留跨轮次稳定的 sparse/high-skew wave 8。 + +在本次固定模型参数下： + +```text +num_experts = 256 +num_ranks = 8 +num_topk = 8 +E_local = 32 +expected_tpe = tokens_per_rank / 4 +``` + +API 还会严格检查校准 shape：EP 8、256 experts、top-k 8、hidden 7168、 +intermediate 2048。第一轮 gate 曾覆盖 **259～514 tokens/rank**。补充测试加入 384（96 +tokens/expert）后，高偏斜 wave 8 稳定回退 1.481%（0/6 获胜），证明不能在两个 +校准点之间直接插值。最终 gate 收窄到 **127.5 < expected_tpe <= 128.5**；在 +本次固定形状下大致对应 512 tokens/rank 附近。窗口之外无论路由偏斜如何都使用 +upstream wave size。 + +## 6. JIT 与配置安全性 + +`num_experts_per_wave` 是 JIT 配置的一部分。为了避免难以控制的 cache 扩张， +生产策略只增加 wave 8 一个候选值，并且仅在 128 tokens/expert 附近的窄区间 +使用。wave 12 仍可通过 benchmark-only force override 做实验，但不进入生产 +决策。 + +调试输出的配置 key

cumulative receive stats 更新逐位相等。 + +最终源码在作业 `2310250` 上重新编译并通过全部配置一致性门。集群中实际参与 +编译/测试的 4 个核心源码文件与最终本地提交的 SHA-256 完全一致。 + +## 8. 性能测试方法 + +为了避免不同进程启动、JIT warmup、温度和时钟造成的偏差，A/B 在同一进程内 +执行，并逐轮反转顺序： +
