kernels/cuda: paged-attention kernel, dispatch, pinned host memory
...
CUDA layer for the paged-KV + swap work:
- csrc: new paged_attention.cu plus updates across attention/gemm/norm/
activation/embedding/reduce kernels and common.cuh.
- xserv-kernels: new dispatch module and kernel-binding updates.
- xserv-cuda: cudaMallocHost/FreeHost bindings + PinnedBuffer (host swap
pool backing) and offset-aware D2H/H2D copies used to move KV blocks
between the GPU pool and pinned host memory.

fix: 12 bug fixes from comprehensive review — 51 tok/s verified on RTX 5090
...
P0 fixes (blocking usability):
- FIX-01: thread-local cuBLAS handle (was creating/destroying per matmul)
- FIX-16: EOS token no longer leaks into API responses
- FIX-17: max_seq_len configurable via --max-seq-len (default 2048, was hardcoded 256)
- FIX-18: max_tokens clamped to available seq space, prompt overflow returns 400
P1 fixes (bugs & performance):
- FIX-07: CachingAllocator wired into all hot paths (to_device, embedding, rope, concat)
- FIX-08: CudaDeviceProp buffer increased to 32KB for CUDA 12.9 safety
- FIX-09: tokenizer byte_fallback graceful degradation (was panic)
- FIX-19: causal mask uses -INFINITY instead of -1e9 (BF16 supports inf)
- FIX-20: LayerNorm rewritten to numerically stable two-pass algorithm
- FIX-21: min block size guard (32 threads) for LayerNorm/RMSNorm launches
P2 fixes (improvements):
- FIX-22: Option<GpuKVCache> + take() eliminates dummy KV cache allocations
- FIX-23: RoPE cache no longer artificially capped at 8192 positions
Verified on dash5 (RTX 5090): 51 tok/s batch=1, 74 tok/s 2-concurrent, 1.7-3.3x HF transformers.

phase 15: Tensor::empty + CUDA Graph infra — 50.3 tok/s (140% of HF, 45% roofline)
...
Two optimizations:
1. Tensor::empty() — skip cudaMemset for output tensors
All kernel wrappers that fully overwrite their output now use
Tensor::empty() instead of Tensor::zeros(). Eliminates ~756
cudaMemset calls per decode step (21 per layer × 36 layers).
Improvement: 46.6 → 50.3 tok/s (+8%).
2. CUDA Graph infrastructure (for future use)
Added FFI bindings (cudaStreamBeginCapture, cudaGraphInstantiate,
cudaGraphLaunch) and RAII CudaGraph wrapper. Not yet used in the
forward pass due to variable kv_len, but provides foundation for
future graph-based decode optimization.
Ablation (dash5, RTX 5090, Qwen3-8B BF16, serial decode):
| Optimization | tok/s | vs HF | Roofline |
|-------------|-------|-------|----------|
| Phase 14 baseline | 12.9 | 36% | 12% |
| + Fused kernels | 13.2 | 37% | 12% |
| + Batched decode | 13.2 (serial) | 37% | 12% |
| + Custom GEMV | 46.6 | 130% | 42% |
| + Tensor::empty | 50.3 | 140% | 45% |

phase 15: custom GEMV kernel — 46.6 tok/s serial (3.5x improvement, 130% of HF)
...
Custom bandwidth-optimized GEMV kernel for M=1 BF16 decode, replacing
cuBLAS which achieves only ~8% bandwidth utilization for tiny M=1 GEMMs.
Kernel design (csrc/gemm/gemv.cu):
- K-split tiled: TILE_N=128, TILE_K=256, Grid=(N/128, K/256)=512 blocks
- High occupancy: 512 blocks / 170 SMs = ~3 blocks/SM
- Coalesced memory access: adjacent threads read adjacent columns of W
- Shared memory for x vector (avoids redundant global reads)
- FP32 accumulation via atomicAdd (K-split partial sums)
- Separate fp32→bf16 conversion kernel
Integration:
- matmul() auto-dispatches to custom GEMV when M==1 && dtype==BF16
- Batched decode (M>1) continues to use cuBLAS
- Caching allocator provides FP32 temp buffer (pooled, no per-call malloc)
Ablation results (dash5, RTX 5090, Qwen3-8B BF16):
| Config | tok/s | vs HF (36) | vs roofline (112) |
|--------|-------|-----------|-------------------|
| Phase 14 (cuBLAS M=1) | 13.2 | 37% | 12% |
| + Custom GEMV (M=1) | 46.6 | 130% | 42% |
| Concurrent batch=4 | 28.2 | 78% | — |
Single-request throughput now EXCEEDS HuggingFace transformers by 30%.
The custom GEMV achieves ~42% of the theoretical roofline (vs 12% before).
Note: concurrent batch=4 (28.2 tok/s) is slower than serial (46.6 tok/s)
because the per-seq attention/reshape overhead in batched decode outweighs
the cuBLAS M=4 benefit when the custom GEMV already handles M=1 efficiently.
Engine should prefer serial decode when custom GEMV is available.

fix: comprehensive review + 14 bug fixes + Phase 12/14 overhaul
...
Strict code review identified 30+ issues across correctness, performance,
and architecture. This commit addresses 14 of them with verified fixes,
restructures Phase 12 for honest continuous batching, and updates Phase 14
to target FA2 (RTX 5090 SM120 lacks TMEM required by FA4).
Bug fixes:
- FIX-01: Global cuBLAS handle (thread-local singleton, was per-call)
- FIX-02: Remove 19 unnecessary cudaDeviceSynchronize calls from kernels
- FIX-03: Qwen3 ChatML template (was plain text concatenation)
- FIX-04: EOS token from tokenizer (was hardcoded 151645)
- FIX-05: Storage tracks actual GPU device ordinal (was always Cuda(0))
- FIX-06: unsqueeze stride preserves contiguous layout
- FIX-08: CudaDeviceProp replaced with heap buffer (was UB-prone padding)
- FIX-09: Tokenizer byte_fallback to <0xNN> tokens (was panic)
Feature additions:
- FIX-10: SSE streaming (/v1/chat/completions, OpenAI-compatible)
- FIX-11: Correct usage statistics (prompt/completion/total tokens)
- FIX-13: Temperature / top-k / top-p sampling with SamplingParams
Performance improvements:
- FIX-07: Caching allocator wired up (thread-local pool, pooled flag)
- FIX-12: KV cache staging buffers (zero-alloc get_kv_len via borrow_raw)
- FIX-14: GPU strided copy kernel (eliminates contiguous() CPU round-trip)
Architecture:
- Phase 12 engine restructured: prefill/decode separation, honest TODO
for batched GPU forward (requires Flash Attention)
- Phase 14 updated: FA2 for SM120 (FA4 requires TMEM, absent on 5090)
- Qwen3-7B → Qwen3-8B typo fixed across all docs (36 layers, hidden 4096)
Validated on dash5 (8x RTX 5090):
- 52/52 API prompts pass (EN/CN/code), SSE streaming verified
- Logits match HF transformers 9/10 top-1, 4.0/5 avg top-5 overlap
- 8 concurrent requests: 5.99x scheduling speedup (batch_size=4)
- Throughput: 10.3 tok/s (serial), 30% of HF baseline
