nuvec_core/fast.rs
1//! Fused operations with dedicated GPU kernels, as MLX's `mx.fast`: [`rms_norm`],
2//! [`layer_norm`], [`rope`], [`cross_entropy`], [`scaled_dot_product_attention`] and
3//! [`gated_delta`] (mlx-lm's Gated DeltaNet kernels); nuvec's [`add_rms_norm`] (a residual
4//! connection and its norm), [`norm_rope`] (norm, RoPE and a cache write) and
5//! [`paged_attention`] with [`paged_write`] (a block-table KV cache); and, through
6//! [`crate::Array::softmax`] and [`crate::Array::logsumexp`] over the last axis, MLX's
7//! softmax and log-sum-exp kernels.
8//!
9//! Each operation is one GPU kernel (MLX's, or nuvec's own) with an equivalent graph of ordinary
10//! operations, its *fallback*. As in MLX, the fallback runs on the CPU stream, and it
11//! defines the forward-mode derivative and batching; reverse mode uses dedicated kernels
12//! where MLX has them.
13//!
14//! Like every operation, these return arrays: invalid arguments give a failed array that
15//! carries the error and the caller's location (see [`crate::Array::check`]).
16//!
17//! # Memory
18//!
19//! The norms, RoPE, `norm_rope`, cross entropy, softmax, log-sum-exp, the gated delta rule
20//! and the paged kernels hold no scratch beyond their inputs and outputs on the GPU (the
21//! fallback graphs on the CPU hold their intermediates). Attention's scratch depends on its
22//! plan: see [`scaled_dot_product_attention`]. Rotation frequencies are computed per call,
23//! never cached.

586/// # Routing
587///
588/// [`plan_attention`] decides, and reports, how the call runs. On the GPU, up to 8 queries
589/// use MLX's vector kernels, more use its tiled kernel or the composition (as MLX: the
590/// composition is faster for some head sizes and shapes); the CPU runs the composition.
591/// At head size 512, causal prefill of 1,024 queries or more in half precision (no array
592/// mask or sinks) runs as MLX's blocked path: the composition per block of 256 queries,
593/// each over only the keys its rows see, a key head's grouped queries in one product (bit
594/// for bit MLX's result, one block's scores live). A window narrows the keys of every
595/// composition block and is skipped inside the vector and tiled kernels.
596///
597/// **The serial rule.** With 2 to 8 queries (speculative verification), each query row
598/// takes the configuration (passes, key partitions, kernel variant) of the same row run
599/// alone as one query over its causal key prefix, and rows with equal configurations share
600/// a dispatch. So each row's result equals, bit for bit, the one-query call over its
601/// prefix (MLX picks one configuration for all rows instead). Rows that need the
602/// one-key-per-step kernel variant (float32 at head size 256) and do not fit one
603/// threadgroup together keep MLX's composition instead.
604///
605/// **The cap.** With `max_score_bytes = c`, no score-sized intermediate larger than `c`
606/// bytes is allocated (element size 4 with sinks or float32): either the tiled kernel
607/// runs (it materialises no scores) or the composition runs in blocks of query rows, one
608/// block after another (each block's queries depend on the previous block's output, so one
609/// block's scratch is live at a time), whichever measured faster. The result equals the
610/// uncapped composition within rounding. A cap below one query row's intermediate selects
611/// the tiled kernel where it supports the shape and is an `InvalidArgument` error naming
612/// the smallest admissible cap otherwise; a cap of 0 is invalid. Vector kernels (decode)
613/// never materialise scores, so the cap does not affect them.
614///
615/// # Memory
616///
617/// Scratch beyond inputs and output ([`AttentionPlan::scratch_bytes`]), with `s` the
618/// dtype's size, `r` the rows of a block (`Lq` unblocked), `L` its keys and `n = B·Hq·r·L`:
619/// vector one pass 0; vector two passes `B·Hq·rows·blocks·(Dv·s + 8)` for the largest
620/// dispatch (plus the gathered queries and outputs with several dispatches); tiled 0;
621/// composition `n·s` (the scores, masked and normalised in place) plus the larger of the
622/// scaled queries (`B·Hq·r·D·s`) and, with sinks below float32, the float32 softmax copy
623/// (`n·4`; three of them in blocks under 16 MiB), plus `r·L` bytes of causal mask; blocked
