  • Promote decode_hca to the full HCA layer on one TP rank: HC
    pre-processing, rope, RMSNorm, QKV projection with rope, original-KV
    writeback, the ratio-128 compressor, the top-k validity ramp, the
    distributed output half, and HC post-processing.
  • Split the previous distributed output body out as the inline
    decode_hca_output, kept reachable on its own through the new
    decode_hca_output_test / l3_decode_hca_output_test diagnostic entries.
  • Return the cache-write task id from compressor_ratio128 and the
    original-KV writeback spmd, join them into a cache_ready_dep, and
    make sparse_attn_hca's KV gather depend on it so sparse readers
    cannot run before both cache writes land.
  • Mark compress_state, kv_cache and cmp_kv as in-out parameters with
    bound dynamic block axes, and declare them validated outputs in the
    fixture.
  • Place compressor state blocks so no two active rows share a physical
    slot, falling back to a per-request occupancy assignment when the
    default block table aliases them.
  • Add build_distributed_tensor_specs and golden_decode_hca, which stack
    one canonical single-rank fixture per rank and run the TP1 reference
    independently per shard, with the O projection weights split into
    rank shards.
  • Compute the TP1 golden's attention output through
    golden_decode_o_proj_tp1 instead of folding the projection into
    golden_sparse_attn.
  • Add an --entry full|output|tp1 selector with per-entry device counts
    and defaults, and route each entry to its own specs, golden and
    comparators.

Hardware validation keeps the 3e-3 x_out threshold; only the a2a3sim
distributed run relaxes it to 4e-3 with a two-element near-zero cap,
which is the same threshold the CSA path already uses there.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds cache-write task IDs to compressed KV handling, enforces cache-readiness before sparse attention, and separates HCA output-only, TP1, and full-layer execution. It also adds tensor-parallel fixtures, golden references, mutable cache declarations, and entry-specific CLI validation.

Changes

HCA cache execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cache task contracts
models/deepseek_v4_flash_dspark/decode_compressor_ratio128.py, models/deepseek_v4_flash_dspark/decode_sparse_attn_hca.py
compressor_ratio128 returns the compressed KV tensor and cache-write task ID. sparse_attn_hca accepts this dependency and waits before KV gathering.
Output execution path
models/deepseek_v4_flash_dspark/decode_hca.py, models/deepseek_v4_flash_dspark/decode_sparse_attn_hca.py
The output-only HCA path forwards cache dependencies, uses SPMD tile indexing, and adds test and host entry points.
Full tensor-parallel execution
models/deepseek_v4_flash_dspark/decode_hca.py
The full path performs preprocessing, projections, cache writes, compression, sparse attention, output projection, bridging, and postprocessing across tensor-parallel ranks.
Reference and fixture validation
models/deepseek_v4_flash_dspark/decode_hca.py
Golden references and distributed fixtures now cover full, output, and tp1 entries. Mutable cache and compressor tensors are declared accordingly.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 55776

The change completes the distributed attention path and the current head has no actionable merge-blocking risk; the duplicated setup logic is a minor maintainability follow-up.

Poem

A rabbit hops through cache-write streams,
Linking tasks in tidy beams.
KV waits, then hops with care,
Sparse attention finds data there.
TP ranks dance; golden paths gleam.

567-655: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Consider extracting the prologue shared with decode_hca_tp1.

Lines 567-655 duplicate decode_hca_tp1 lines 340-433 almost exactly: the hca_rope block, rope_interleave, rms_norm plus late_dep, qkv_proj_rope, hca_cache_writeback, the compressor_ratio128 call, cache_ready_dep, and the hca_cache_topk ramp. The two functions diverge only from the output stage onward.

A future correction to the rope indexing or the top-k validity computation must be applied in both places. Extract a @pl.jit.inline helper that returns (q, topk_all, cache_ready_dep, post_t, comb_t, rope_cos_t, rope_sin_t) and call it from both entries.
