  • (Optional) The necessary documentation update, such as updating supported_models.md and examples for a new model.

Local WIP and others added 4 commits May 26, 2026 08:42
Fix a custom-op contract bug that corrupted generation on the fused
BlockScale SplitK zero-init path. The *_blockscale_splitk ops were
registered mutates_args=["output"] but also returned `output`, so
infer_schema declared a fresh (non-aliasing) return while the impl
handed back the mutated buffer. Inductor trusted the schema, treated the
output buffer as dead after the call, and reused it for the next block's
zero-init prologue -- clobbering the still-live result (manifests with
>=2 chained fused GEMM blocks). Make the splitk ops pure in-place
(return None); the fusion pass already routes consumers through the
mutated SSA edge, so the buffer stays live and Inductor cannot reuse it.

Includes the fusion pass + producer/gemm ops, unit tests, and the
repro/bench/diagnostic scripts for the fusion.

Verified: multi-block reproducer (nb=1..4) passes with default Inductor
buffer reuse (previously corrupted at nb>=2); direct custom-op contract
check passes; pass unit tests 11/12 (the one failure is a pre-existing
aiter gemma fused_qk_rmsnorm_group_quant type-check, unrelated).

Rewrite non-stand-alone commentary in the blockscale SplitK zero-init
fusion sources so each comment/docstring reads as standalone technical
rationale for a reviewer with no knowledge of the original investigation.

- Drop references to a private codebase ("ATOM"), internal PR numbers,
  and investigation-era phase/producer labels (P1..P4, "Phase-2").
- Remove quoted experimental results (microsecond costs, tuning-sweep CSV
  paths) and investigation narrative ("regression guard against an earlier
  bug", "reproduces the error from server boot").
- Reword the remaining rationale (e.g. why the split-K ops must mutate
  output in place and never return/alias it) as plain standalone text.

Comment/docstring (and a couple of assert-message) text only; no code,
identifiers, or logic changed.

Drops the AITER_DEBUG_* tensor-tracing helper module and the call sites
that were wired into the FP8 block-scale GEMM and quantization paths,
restoring those functions to their upstream form. The zero-init SplitK
fusion does not depend on this instrumentation.

Pull request overview

This PR adds a ROCm/AITER-only compilation pass to fuse blockscale FP8 GEMM SplitK output zero-initialization into upstream producer kernels, reducing standalone zero-fill work before SplitK GEMMs.

Changes:

  • Adds fuse_blockscale_splitk_zero_init pass configuration and pass-manager integration.
  • Registers new AITER custom ops for zero-init-capable producers and preallocated-output SplitK GEMMs.
  • Adds FX rewrite logic, ROCm-focused tests, and benchmark/debug tooling for Qwen3-Next FP8 scenarios.

…, Gemma test kwargs

- uuid(): hash all registered pattern builders + _make_extra_check so a
  source change to any builder invalidates the Inductor compiled-graph cache.
- Attribution walk: derive the zero-init buffer's getitem index per producer
  (functional-output count) instead of hardcoding 2, so the residual producer
  (buffer at index 3) is attributed correctly in the match table.
- per_token_quant_with_zero_init (real + fake): allocate the output with
  quant_dtype instead of always FP8, matching rocm_aiter_per_token_quant.
- Gemma producer test: call the op with kwargs to match the all-kwargs call
  shape built by _make_2_input_producer_pattern.

These zero-init SplitK benchmark, profiling, and debug/repro scripts are
local development tooling and should not be merged to main. Untracked via
`git rm --cached` so the files remain in the working tree for local use.
