/** * @file all2all_heads.cu * @brief CUDA kernels for All2All attention head redistribution. * * This file implements the GPU kernels for redistributing attention heads across * multiple GPUs using IPC-based direct memory access. The kernels are designed * for tensor-parallel transformer models where attention heads need to be * exchanged between GPUs. * * ## Algorithm Overview * * The kernels use a direct-write approach where each GPU writes its data directly * to the target GPU's memory buffer via IPC. This avoids intermediate copies and * achieves near-peak memory bandwidth utilization. * * ## SM Work Distribution (Round-Robin) * * SMs are distributed round-robin among target ranks to handle non-divisible SM counts: * - SM i writes to rank (i % world_size) * - With 132 SMs and 8 GPUs: ranks 0-3 get 17 SMs, ranks 4-7 get 16 SMs * - Each SM group processes all tokens for its assigned target rank * - Within each group, SMs cooperate to cover all tokens in strided fashion * * ## Synchronization Protocol * * After data transfer, a barrier synchronization ensures all ranks have completed: * 1. Each SM atomically increments the target rank's barrier counter for this rank * 2. SM 0 waits until it has received signals from all ranks * 3. Barrier counters are reset for the next operation */ #include "cuda/configs.cuh" #include "cuda/exceptions.cuh" #include "cuda/utils.cuh" #include namespace ltx_kernels { namespace all2all { namespace all2all_cuda { /** * @brief All2All kernel for redistributing attention heads across GPUs. * * This kernel performs the "send" phase of All2All: each GPU writes its assigned * subset of attention heads to all other GPUs.
