The dspark decode SWA entry compiles one TP program for every --tp value, but its names implied a separate single-card path. - Rename the TP output half to decode_swa / l3_decode_swa and the no-collective full-attention variant to decode_swa_tp1, matching decode_o_proj_tp1 - Drop the sparse_attn_swa wrapper that bundled decode_o_proj_tp1; sparse_attn_swa is now the heads-only kernel both callers already wanted, and sparse_attn_swa_test / decode_swa_tp1 pair it with decode_o_proj_tp1 themselves - Rename the TP collectives and projection to o_group_a2a, decode_o_proj and o_proj_reduce_scatter; the old all_to_all name said token_head, but the exchanged unit is the O group - Give o_proj_reduce_scatter its own pl.at core-group scope and a proj_dep argument, so decode_swa / decode_hca / decode_csa chain it directly instead of restating a pl.spmd(1) wrapper - Order decode_swa.py as kernels first (TP, then tp1), then the tensor specs and goldens
Mirrors the SWA rename on the HCA path, which had the same shape: one TP program for every --tp value behind names implying a single-card path. - Rename the TP output half to decode_hca / l3_decode_hca and the no-collective full-attention variant to decode_hca_tp1, matching decode_o_proj_tp1 - Drop the sparse_attn_hca wrapper that bundled decode_o_proj_tp1; sparse_attn_hca is now the heads-only kernel both callers already wanted, and sparse_attn_hca_test / decode_hca_tp1 pair it with decode_o_proj_tp1 themselves - Order decode_hca.py as kernels first (TP, then tp1), then the tensor specs and goldens
Completes the rename across all three dspark decode attention paths; CSA had the same shape as SWA and HCA. - Rename the TP output half to decode_csa / l3_decode_csa and the no-collective full-attention variant to decode_csa_tp1, matching decode_o_proj_tp1 - Drop the sparse_attn_csa wrapper that bundled decode_o_proj_tp1; sparse_attn_csa is now the heads-only kernel both callers already wanted, and sparse_attn_csa_test / decode_csa_tp1 pair it with decode_o_proj_tp1 themselves - Order decode_csa.py as kernels first (TP, then tp1), then the tensor specs and goldens
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughCSA, HCA, and SWA decode paths now use split sparse-attention and output-projection stages. Shared collective helpers accept explicit dependencies. Tensor-parallel fixtures, golden references, dynamic dimensions, CLI setup, and test harnesses were updated. ChangesShared output projection and reduction

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The refactor updates decode kernel naming and composition without evidence of a broad behavioral regression, but packed-head buffer sizing still depends on two independently derived TP values across the decode paths; a mismatch could cause incorrect shapes or runtime failure, so merge should proceed only with explicit owner awareness or a follow-up fix.

575-587: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winConsider varying the RoPE tables across columns in the TP fixture.
init_freqs_cosandinit_freqs_sinbuild one value per (rank, token) and then expand it over allROPE_DIMcolumns. Every column then holds the same value, so the fixture cannot distinguish the interleaved index layout thatsparse_attn_hcabuilds from the split-half layout thatgolden_decode_hcauses. The CSA fixture varies the phase by column. Aligning the HCA fixture would extend coverage to the inverse-RoPE indexing.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Compare
Style-only pass over decode_swa.py, decode_hca.py and decode_csa.py; the generated kernels are unchanged. - Split wrapped statements back to one per line: the argparse block now hoists default_devices, the over-long rope stores in CSA name their source rows, and the fixture wo_a / cmp_kv / block-table writes hoist head_col, head_scale and the per-column values instead of breaking a subscript or a parenthesized sum - Trim comments to what the code does: drop the model.py line references, the dispatch-barrier and rope-hoist rationale, and the hc_attn fixture derivation - Move the pl.dynamic declarations into the dynamic-shape group and SWA's BIAS_T_TILE into the tiling group - Sink the fixture constants and their capacity guards out of the module header down to build_tp_tensor_specs, their first consumer; the TP-local token-capacity guards stay in the header, where they state this file's contract with decode_o_proj - Drop two "# type: ignore[import]" pragmas that suppress nothing
The three decode_sparse_attn_* entries tested the grouped output projection alongside the attention heads, so a sparse-attention failure and an o-proj failure looked the same and every entry carried a copy of the o-proj weights and its torch reference. - Drop decode_o_proj_tp1 from sparse_attn_<xxa>_test; each test now returns the packed heads it computes, and its golden stops at the heads - Publish the heads as [group, token, group-input] so the capacity padding is a trailing prefix, which the harness compares with ratio_allclose(valid_rows=..., valid_axis=1) instead of a bespoke comparator - Drop wo_a / wo_b / wo_b_scale and the INT8 quant constants from those fixtures decode_o_proj is the entry that still covers the projection, and with sparse attention no longer pinning its TP-derived shapes it takes the same import-time --tp hook as the decode entries. It defaults to 2, so its CI job now borrows two cards instead of four.

The dspark decode SWA, HCA and CSA entries each compile one TP program
for every --tp value, but their names implied a separate single-card
path, and each sparse-attention test also covered the output projection.
with l3_ host wrappers, and the no-collective full-attention variant
to decode__tp1, matching decode_o_proj_tp1
sparse_attn_ is now the heads-only kernel both callers already
wanted, and decode__tp1 pairs it with decode_o_proj_tp1 itself
[group, token, group-input] so the capacity padding is a trailing
prefix the harness compares with ratio_allclose(valid_rows=...,
valid_axis=1), and its fixture drops the o-proj weights
entries, defaulting to 2, so its CI job borrows two cards not four
decode_o_proj and o_proj_reduce_scatter; the old all_to_all name said
token_head, but the exchanged unit is the O group
proj_dep argument, so the three decode entries chain it directly
instead of restating a pl.spmd(1) wrapper
tensor specs and goldens, and sink the fixture constants with their
capacity guards down to build_tp_tensor_specs; only the TP-local
token-capacity contract with decode_o_proj stays in the header
that state what the code does, and header constants grouped with the
pl.dynamic declarations together
