+
+## Goal
+
+用自写的 Flash Attention 2 CUDA kernel 替换 naive attention (Phase 5)。消除 O(S²) 显存分配，支持 GQA kernel 内部索引（消除 repeat_kv 开销）。
+
+## 硬件约束: FA4 不适用于 RTX 5090
+
+Flash Attention 已发展到第 4 代 (FA4, arxiv 2603.05451)，但各版本有明确硬件依赖：
+
+| 版本 | 目标架构 | 关键硬件特性 | RTX 5090 (SM120) |
+|------|---------|------------|-----------------|
+| FA2 | 通用 CUDA (SM75+) | shared memory + HMMA | **兼容** |

+| FA4 | Blackwell SM100 (B200/B300) | TMEM + async MMA + 2-CTA mode | 不兼容 |
+
+RTX 5090 使用消费级 Blackwell (GB202, SM120)，与数据中心 Blackwell (B200, SM100) 是不同硅片。SM120 **没有 TMEM (Tensor Memory)**，这是 FA4 kernel 设计的核心硬件依赖。这不是软件限制，是硬件级差异。
+
+因此本项目实现 **FA2 算法**，使用标准 CUDA (shared memory + 标准 HMMA)。
+
+## Naive Attention 的问题
+
+Phase 5 的 naive attention 流程:
+```
+k_t = K.transpose(2,3).contiguous()    ← 分配 K^T 显存
+scores = batched_matmul(Q, k_t)         ← 分配 [B,H,S,S] score 矩阵 (O(S²) 显存)
+scores = scale(scores, 1/sqrt(d))       ← 逐元素 kernel
+causal_mask(scores)                     ← 逐元素 kernel
+weights = softmax(scores)               ← 分配 [B,H,S,S] weight 矩阵
+output = batched_matmul(weights, V)     ← 最终结果
+```
+
+问题:
+1. **显存 O(S²)**: score 和 weight 矩阵各需 `B × H × S × S × dtype_size`。S=2048, H=32, BF16 → 256 MB。S=8192 → 4 GB。
+2. **GQA 预处理**: 在调用 attention 前需要 `repeat_kv_gpu` 将 K/V 从 8 heads 扩展到 32 heads，每层额外分配和拷贝。
+3. **多次 kernel launch**: scale, mask, softmax 各一次 kernel launch + global memory round-trip。
+4. **K^T materialization**: `K.transpose().contiguous()` 需要分配和拷贝。
+
+## FA2 算法
+
+核心思想: **不 materialize S×S 矩阵**。将 Q, K, V 分成 tiles，在 shared memory (SRAM) 中计算，使用 **online softmax trick** 边算边更新 running max 和 sum。
+
+FA2 (Dao 2023) 相比 FA1 的改进: 外层循环遍历 Q tiles (而非 K/V)，减少 HBM 读写次数，提高并行性。
+
+```
+scale = 1 / sqrt(head_dim)
+
+for each Q tile (q_start..q_start + BR):                   // 外层: Q tiles
+    load Q_tile [BR, D] to shared memory (一次加载，内层复用)
+    init per-row: O[D] = 0, m = -inf, l = 0
+
+    for each K/V tile j (kv_start..kv_start + BC):          // 内层: K/V tiles
+        // Causal tile-skip: 如果整个 K tile 在 Q tile "未来"，跳过
+        if causal && kv_start > max_q_pos + kv_offset: skip
+
+        load K_tile [BC, D] to shared memory
+        S = Q_tile @ K_tile^T * scale                       // [BR, BC], in registers
+        if causal: mask S[r][c] = -inf where kv_pos > q_pos
+
+        // Online softmax update
+        m_new = max(m, rowmax(S))
+        P = exp(S - m_new)
+        l_new = exp(m - m_new) * l + rowsum(P)
+        O = exp(m - m_new) * O                              // rescale accumulator
+
+        load V_tile [BC, D] to shared memory (复用 K 的空间)
+        O += P @ V_tile                                     // accumulate
+
+        m = m_new, l = l_new
+
+    O = O / l                                               // final normalize
+    write O[BR, D] to HBM (convert FP32 → BF16)
+```
+
+## 实现细节
+
+### Kernel 配置
+
+| 参数 | 值 | 说明 |
+|------|---|------|
+| BR (Q tile rows) | 64 | Q tile 大小 |
+| BC (K/V tile rows) | 64 | K/V tile 大小 |
+| head_dim | 运行时参数 (≤128) | 支持 64 (GPT-2) 和 128 (Qwen3) |
+| Block size | 128 threads | 64 线程各 own 一行 Q，其余协助加载 |
+| Grid | (q_tiles, batch × num_q_heads) | 每个 block 处理一个 Q tile + 一个 head |
+
+### Shared Memory (BF16 存储)
+
+```
+smem_q [BR × head_dim] BF16 = 64 × 128 × 2 = 16 KB (加载一次，内层复用)
+smem_kv[BC × head_dim] BF16 = 64 × 128 × 2 = 16 KB (K 和 V 交替使用)
+────────────────────────────────────────────
+Total: 32 KB (SM120 默认 48 KB，余量充足)
+```
+
+### 线程映射
+
+- Thread 0..63: 各 own Q_tile 的一行。负责该行的全部计算：dot products、softmax、PV 累加。
+- Thread 64..127: 协助 shared memory 加载 (K/V tile)，不参与计算。
+- 加载模式: 每个 thread 加载 `(BR × head_dim) / 128 = 64` 个 BF16 元素。
+
+### Per-Thread Register 使用
+
+```
+O_acc[128] FP32     = 512 bytes (128 regs)  — 输出累加器
+P[64]      FP32     = 256 bytes (64 regs)   — 当前 tile 的 softmax 后权重
+m, l       FP32     = 8 bytes (2 regs)      — online softmax running state
+循环变量 + 临时      ≈ 16 regs
+────────────────────────────────────────────
+Total: ~210 regs/thread (max 255，在限制内)
+```
+
+### GQA 支持
+
+每个 thread block 处理一个 Q head，通过 `kv_head = q_head / (num_q_heads / num_kv_heads)` 映射到对应的 KV head。K/V 的数据指针直接指向 KV head 的存储，无需 repeat_kv。
+
+```
+// 32 Q heads, 8 KV heads → heads_per_group = 4
+// Q head 0,1,2,3 → KV head 0
+// Q head 4,5,6,7 → KV head 1
+// ...
+kv_head = q_head / heads_per_group;
+K_ptr = K + (batch * num_kv_heads + kv_head) * kv_len * head_dim;
+```
+
+### Causal Mask
+
+两级优化:
+1. **Tile-level skip**: 如果 `kv_tile_start > max_q_pos + kv_offset`，整个 K/V tile 都在未来，跳过（减少 ~50% 计算）。
+2. **Element-level mask**: 在 tile 内部，`if kv_pos > q_pos + kv_offset: S = -inf`。
+
+`kv_offset = kv_len - q_len` 处理 decode 时 KV cache 长于 Q 的情况。

+```
+
+## 已知局限与后续优化方向
+
+1. **Decode (Q_len=1) 效率低**: BR=64 线程中只有 1 个 active（owns_row）。应写专用 decode attention kernel，沿 KV 维度 parallel reduction。
+2. **无向量化加载**: 当前逐元素 bf16→f32 转换，应改用 `float4` 或 `__nv_bfloat162` 批量加载。
+3. **Register tiling**: 每个 thread 目前串行计算 dot product (128 MADs per K column)。可改为多线程协作。
+4. **K/V double buffering**: 可在计算当前 tile 时预加载下一个 tile 到另一半 shared memory。
+5. **Tile size 调优**: 更大的 tile (BR=128) 可能在长 sequence 时更优，需要 opt-in shared memory。

+# Phase 15: Performance Optimization — Design Document (Milestone ④)
+
+## Goal
+
+系统性 profiling + 优化，从 12.9 tok/s (Phase 14 结束) 逼近 RTX 5090 的理论带宽上限 (112 tok/s)。
+
+## 硬件 Roofline
+
+RTX 5090 (SM120, CC 12.0) 的 decode 理论极限：
+
+```
+模型权重:          16 GB (Qwen3-8B BF16)
+内存带宽:          1.79 TB/s (GDDR7)
+理论最优 decode:   16 GB / 1.79 TB/s = 8.9 ms/step = 112 tok/s (batch=1)
+```
+
+Decode 阶段 100% memory-bound：每步读取全部 16 GB 权重（252 个 GEMV），计算量可忽略。
+
+## 瓶颈分析
+
+Phase 14 结束时性能 12.9 tok/s = 77.5 ms/step，roofline 利用率仅 12%。
+
+### 量化瓶颈分解
+
+| 来源 | 估计耗时 | 占比 |
+|------|---------|------|
+| cuBLAS M=1 GEMV (252 calls, 带宽利用 ~8%) | ~60 ms | 77% |
+| 非 matmul 内核 (attention, norm, activation, reshape) | ~8 ms | 10% |
+| Tensor 分配 + cudaMemset (1440+ allocs/step) | ~5 ms | 7% |
+| Kernel launch overhead (200+ launches × 5μs) | ~1 ms | 1% |
+| 其他 (sampling CPU round-trip, etc.) | ~3.5 ms | 5% |
+
+**核心发现: cuBLAS 对 M=1 GEMM (GEMV) 的带宽利用率极低（~8%），是 9x gap 的根本原因。**
+
+cuBLAS 设计用于大 M 的 GEMM，对 M=1 场景存在：
+- Kernel launch dispatch overhead 无法被大量计算掩盖
+- TensorCore tile (16×16) 无法被 M=1 充分利用
+- 内部 heuristic 选择了次优算法
+
+## 优化实施
+
+### Opt 1: Decode Attention Kernel
+
+**目标**: 替换 FA2 在 Q_len=1 时的低效路径（64 线程仅 1 个 active）。
+
+**实现** (`csrc/attention/flash_attention.cu`):
+- 专用 decode_attention_bf16_kernel: 256 线程并行沿 KV 序列维度
+- 每个 thread 加载完整 Q vector (128 dim) 到寄存器
+- 处理其分配的 KV 位置块: dot product → online softmax
+- Block-level warp-shuffle + shared memory reduction 合并结果
+- GQA 支持: kv_head = q_head / heads_per_group
+
+**效果**: 在当前短序列 (kv_len ≤ 79) 下效果微小——attention 不是瓶颈。在长序列时会显著受益。
+
+### Opt 2: Fused SiLU×Mul
+
+**目标**: `silu(gate) * up` 两个 element-wise op 合并为一个 kernel。
+
+**实现** (`csrc/activation/activations.cu`):
+```
+Before: read gate → silu → write temp → read temp + up → mul → write out
+After:  read gate + up → silu(gate) * up → write out
+Saved:  1 HBM read + 1 HBM write per element
+```
+
+**效果**: 每层省 1 次 HBM round-trip，36 层总计可观但在 GEMV 瓶颈下被掩盖。
+
+### Opt 3: Fused Add+RMSNorm
+
+**目标**: `x = residual + attn_proj; normed = rmsnorm(x)` 合并为一个 kernel。
+
+**实现** (`csrc/normalization/rmsnorm.cu`):
+```
+Before: read residual + x → add → write sum → read sum + gamma → norm → write out
+After:  read residual + x + gamma → add + norm → write sum + normed
+Saved:  1 full HBM round-trip per attention block
+```
+
+### Opt 4: Batched Decode Forward ⭐
+
+**目标**: 多序列 decode token 合并为 M=batch_size 的 GEMM，提升 cuBLAS 效率。
+
+**实现** (`crates/xserv-model/src/qwen3.rs` + `crates/xserv-server/src/engine.rs`):
+- 新增 `Qwen3::forward_decode_batch(tokens, positions, caches)`
+- Batched ops: embedding, norm, projections, FFN — [B, hidden] × [hidden, X]
+- Per-seq ops: RoPE, KV cache, attention（各序列位置/长度不同）
+- Row extraction (`row_view`) + concatenation (`concat_rows`) 在 batched/per-seq 间切换
+- Engine Step 4b: batch≥2 时自动使用 batched decode
+
+**效果**: batch=4 时 cuBLAS 从 1008× M=1 → 252× M=4，吞吐 35.1 tok/s (vs serial 13.2)。
+
+### Opt 5: Custom GEMV Kernel ⭐⭐⭐ (决定性优化)
+
+**目标**: 替换 cuBLAS 的 M=1 GEMV，手写带宽最优化 kernel。
+
+**实现** (`csrc/gemm/gemv.cu`):
+```
+设计: K-split tiled GEMV
+- TILE_N = 128 (output columns per block, one thread per column)
+- TILE_K = 256 (K-dimension slice per block)
+- BLOCK_SIZE = 128 threads
+- Grid: (ceil(N/128), ceil(K/256)) — 对 K=N=4096 得到 512 blocks
+  512 blocks / 170 SMs ≈ 3 blocks/SM (良好 occupancy)
+
+内存访问:
+- 相邻线程读 W 矩阵的相邻列 → 完美 coalesced
+- x vector 加载到 shared memory (每 K-chunk 仅加载一次)
+- FP32 accumulation via atomicAdd (K-split partial sums)
+- 独立 kernel 做 FP32→BF16 转换
+
+调度:
+- matmul() 中检测 M==1 && dtype==BF16 → 自动使用 custom GEMV
+- M>1 保持 cuBLAS
+```
+
+**效果**: 13.2 → 46.6 tok/s (+253%)。带宽利用率从 ~8% 提升到 ~42%。
+
+### Opt 6: Tensor::empty() (消除无用 cudaMemset)
+
+**目标**: kernel 输出 tensor 全量覆写时，跳过分配后的 cudaMemset 清零。
+
+**实现**:
+- `Storage::empty()` + `Tensor::empty()`: 分配不清零
+- 21 个 kernel wrapper (activation, attention, embedding, gemm, norm, softmax, transpose) 从 `zeros` 改为 `empty`
+- GEMV FP32 accumulator buffer 保持 `cudaMemsetAsync`（atomicAdd 需要零初始化）
+
+**效果**: 46.6 → 50.3 tok/s (+8%)。消除 ~756 个 cudaMemset/step。
+
+### Infra: CUDA Graph 基础设施
+
+- FFI bindings: `cudaStreamBeginCapture`, `cudaGraphInstantiate`, `cudaGraphLaunch`
+- RAII wrapper: `CudaGraph` (capture/instantiate/launch lifecycle)
+- 当前未在 forward path 使用（variable kv_len 限制），为后续优化预留
+

+
+## 剩余 55% Roofline Gap 分析
+
+| 来源 | 估计占比 | 优化方向 |
+|------|---------|---------|
+| GEMV kernel 非满带宽 (atomicAdd contention, K-split overhead) | 25% | 无 K-split GEMV (更大 block), 向量化加载 |
+| Non-matmul kernels (attention, norm, RoPE, reshape) | 15% | Fused layer kernel, 更高效的 decode attention |
+| Kernel launch overhead (200+ launches/step) | 5% | CUDA Graphs (需解决 variable kv_len) |
+| Memory allocator overhead (Arc, SmallVec per tensor) | 5% | Pre-allocated decode workspace |
+| Sampling D2H copy (pipeline stall) | 3% | GPU-side argmax kernel |
+| 其他 (host-side logic, channel overhead) | 2% | — |
+
+## 下一步
+
+Phase 15 的 Milestone ④ 目标 (50% of HF) 已远超 — 达到 140% of HF, 45% of roofline。
+
+后续优化路径（按 ROI 排序）：
+1. **无 K-split GEMV**: 消除 atomicAdd，减少 kernel launches → 预期 +15-20%
+2. **向量化 GEMV loads**: float4 加载 W 矩阵 → 预期 +10%
+3. **Pre-allocated workspace**: 消除 Tensor 对象分配开销 → 预期 +5%

+
+---
+
+## 第一批：P0 — 阻塞可用性
+
+### FIX-01: 全局 cuBLAS handle [P0-性能] ❌未修
+
+**问题**: `gemm.rs` 中 `matmul` (line 146) 和 `batched_matmul` (line 224) 每次调用都 `CublasContext::new()` 创建+销毁 handle。Qwen3-8B 一次 forward ~252 次 matmul。
+
+**修复要求**:
+- 使用 thread-local 单例 cuBLAS handle
+- handle 生命周期覆盖整个进程
+- `matmul` / `batched_matmul` 函数体内不再有 `CublasContext::new()`
+
+**验收标准**:
+1. `grep -n "CublasContext::new" crates/xserv-kernels/src/gemm.rs` 只出现 1 次（thread_local 初始化处）
+2. 编译通过，现有 gemm_test 全部通过
+
+---
+
+### FIX-16: EOS token 泄漏到 API 响应 [P0-功能] ❌新发现
+
+**问题**: `engine.rs:218` 中 `emit_token` 先发 `GenerateEvent::Token { text: "<|im_end|>" }` 再发 `Done`。`api.rs:110-111` 把所有 Token text 拼到 content 里，导致最终响应包含 `<|im_end|>` 乱码。
+
+**修复要求**:
+- `emit_token` 中，当 token 是 EOS 时，不发送 Token event（或发送空 text），直接发 Done
+- 或者: API 层收到 Done 时丢弃最后一个 token 的 text（如果 finish_reason == "stop"）
+
+**验收标准**:
+1. 发送请求，响应 content 不包含 `<|im_end|>` 或其他 special token 文本
+2. streaming 模式下最后一个 content chunk 不是 EOS 文本
+3. 编译通过
+
+---
+
+### FIX-17: max_seq_len 硬编码 256 [P0-功能] ❌新发现
+
+**问题**: `engine.rs:53` 硬编码 `let max_seq_len = 256`，超过就 KV cache panic。
+
+**修复要求**:
+- `Engine::load` 接受 `max_seq_len` 参数（或从 config 读取，上限为 config.max_seq_len()）
+- `main.rs` 中通过命令行参数或环境变量传入，默认值改为 2048
+- 同步更新 RoPE cache 上限（当前 `qwen3.rs:45` 限制 8192，应与 max_seq_len 一致）
+
+**验收标准**:
+1. `grep -n "let max_seq_len = 256" crates/xserv-server/` 返回 0 行
+2. 启动 server 时 `--max-seq-len 4096` 可用
+3. 编译通过
+
+---
+
+### FIX-18: max_tokens 无上限校验 [P0-功能] ❌新发现
+
+**问题**: API 不校验 `max_tokens`，客户端可发 `max_tokens: 1000000` 导致 KV cache panic。
+
+**修复要求**:
+- `api.rs` 中 clamp `max_tokens` 到 `engine.max_seq_len - prompt_tokens.len()`
+- 如果 prompt 已超过 max_seq_len，返回 400 错误
+
+**验收标准**:
+1. 发送 `max_tokens: 999999`，不 panic，正常生成到 seq_len 上限
+2. 发送超长 prompt（> max_seq_len），返回 HTTP 400
+3. 编译通过
+
+---
+
+## 第二批：P1 — 严重 bug/性能
+
+### FIX-07: 使用 CachingAllocator [P1-性能] ❌未修
+
+**问题**: `CachingAllocator` 已实现（`allocator.rs`）但从未使用。所有 GPU 分配直接 `cudaMalloc`。
+
+**修复要求**:
+- `Tensor::empty` 对 GPU device 使用 `cached_alloc` 而非 `GpuBuffer::alloc`
+- `GpuBuffer::Drop` 调用 `cached_dealloc` 归还到池（而非 `cudaFree`）
+- 或者更简单：在 `GpuBuffer::alloc` 内部接入 caching allocator（全局透明替换）
+
+**验收标准**:
+1. 连续运行 10 次 decode step，`cudaMalloc` 调用次数应显著低于总分配次数
+2. 编译通过，现有测试通过
+3. 推理结果与修复前一致
+
+---
+
+### FIX-08: CudaDeviceProp FFI 安全性 [P1-Bug] ❌未修
+
+**问题**: `ffi.rs:31` 用 `_pad: [u8; 4096]` 猜测 `cudaDeviceProp` struct 大小，CUDA 12.9 可能更大。
+
+**修复要求**:
+- 增大 pad 到 `[u8; 8192]` 或使用 `cudaDeviceGetAttribute` 替代 name 查询
+- 可参考 `device.rs` 中已有的 `cudaDeviceGetAttribute` 用法
+
+**验收标准**:
+1. `device_info()` 返回正确的 device name
+2. 编译通过
+
+---
+
+### FIX-09: Tokenizer byte_fallback panic [P1-Bug] ❌未修
+
+**问题**: `bpe.rs:176-182` 中 Qwen3 tokenizer 遇到不在 vocab 的单字节时 panic。
+
+**修复要求**:
+- 当 `byte_fallback == true` 且单字节不在 vocab 时，查找 `<0xNN>` 格式 token
+- 如果 `<0xNN>` 也不存在，返回 unk_token_id（而非 panic）
+
+**验收标准**:
+1. 包含所有 256 个字节值的字符串可以 encode 不 panic
+2. 编译通过
+
+---
+
+### FIX-19: 因果掩码 -1e9 应改为 -inf [P1-Bug] ❌新发现
+
+**问题**: `csrc/attention/causal_mask.cu:31` 用 `-1e9f` 代替 `-inf`，注释说 "BF16 没有 -inf" 但这是错误的。
+
+**修复要求**:
+- BF16 路径改为 `__float2bfloat16(-INFINITY)`
+- F32 路径改为 `-INFINITY`（如果还没有的话）
+
+**验收标准**:
+1. causal mask 中被遮蔽的值为 `-inf`（而非 `-1e9`）
+2. 编译通过，attention test 通过
+
+---
+
+### FIX-20: LayerNorm 数值稳定性 [P1-Bug] ❌新发现
+
+**问题**: `csrc/normalization/layernorm.cu:19-25` 注释写 "Welford online" 但实际用 `E[x²] - E[x]²`，大均值小方差时会灾难性抵消。
+
+**修复要求**:
+- 改为真正的 two-pass 或 Welford online 算法
+- pass 1: 求 mean; pass 2: 求 variance = E[(x-mean)²]
+
+**验收标准**:
+1. 对 mean=1e6, std=1e-3 的输入，layernorm 输出与 PyTorch 一致（relative error < 1e-3）
+2. 编译通过，现有测试通过
+
+---
+
+### FIX-21: LayerNorm/RMSNorm 最小 block size [P1-Bug] ❌新发现
+
+**问题**: `layernorm.cu:88` 和 `rmsnorm.cu` 对 hidden_size < 32 的输入会崩溃（block_reduce 需要至少一个完整 warp）。
+
+**修复要求**:
+- launch 时 `block = max(min(hidden_size, 1024), 32)`
+
+**验收标准**:
+1. hidden_size=16 的 layernorm/rmsnorm 不崩溃
+2. 编译通过
+
+---
+
+## 第三批：P2 — 重要改进
+
+### FIX-22: Engine dummy KV cache 分配 [P2-性能] ❌新发现
+
+**问题**: `engine.rs:142-148` 每次 batched decode 用 `std::mem::replace` 创建 dummy `GpuKVCache::new(..., 1, ...)` 来绕过 borrow checker，每步分配 `num_layers * 2` 个 GPU buffer。
+
+**修复要求**:
+- 将 `running` 从 `Vec<Sequence>` 改为存储方式让 KV cache 可以独立借出
+- 或使用 `Option<GpuKVCache>` + `.take()` / `.insert()` 避免 dummy 分配
+
+**验收标准**:
+1. batched decode 路径不再分配 dummy KV cache
+2. 编译通过，功能不变
+
+---
+
+### FIX-23: RoPE cache 硬限 8192 [P2-功能] ❌新发现
+
+**问题**: `qwen3.rs:45` `config.max_seq_len().min(8192)` 人为截断。
+
+**修复要求**:
+- 去掉 `.min(8192)`，或改为与 engine 的 max_seq_len 一致
+- 确保 RoPE cache 覆盖实际使用的 max_seq_len
+
+**验收标准**:
+1. RoPE cache 长度 >= engine max_seq_len
+2. 编译通过
+
+---
+
+### FIX-15: GPT-2 消除 CPU round-trip [P3-性能] ❌未修
+
+**问题**: GPT-2 `split_qkv`、`merge_heads`、`add_bias` 全在 CPU 做。优先级低（GPT-2 不是主力模型）。
+
+---
+
+## 修复依赖图和执行顺序

+# Phase 14 Benchmark: Flash Attention 2
+
+**Date**: 2026-05-22
+**Hardware**: RTX 5090 (32GB GDDR7, SM120 CC 12.0, 170 SMs)
+**Model**: Qwen3-8B (BF16, 36 layers, 4096 hidden, 32 Q / 8 KV GQA heads, head_dim=128)
+**Config**: greedy decoding (temperature=0), max_tokens=64, single-request serial
+
+## Correctness
+
+Logits comparison with HuggingFace transformers (10 prompts, raw text without ChatML):
+
+| Metric | Result |
+|--------|--------|
+| Prefill Top-1 match vs HF | **9/10 (90%)** |
+| Avg Top-5 overlap vs HF | **4.0/5** |
+| Result vs pre-FA2 naive attention | **Identical** (same 9/10 top-1, same 4.0/5 overlap) |
+
+The single top-1 mismatch ("Explain quantum computing.") has logits differing by 0.125
+(22.000 vs 21.875) — within BF16 precision. The top-5 sets are identical (5/5 overlap).
+
+FA2 introduces no precision degradation compared to the naive attention path.
+
+## API Generation
+
+52 diverse prompts (English, Chinese, code) via `/v1/chat/completions`:
+
+| Metric | Result |
+|--------|--------|
+| Success rate | **52/52 (100%)** |
+| SSE streaming | **Working** (role chunk, content chunks, finish_reason, [DONE]) |
+| Usage stats | Correct (prompt_tokens + completion_tokens = total_tokens) |
+
+## Performance
+
+### xserv vs HuggingFace transformers
+
+8 prompts (short/medium/long) × max_tokens=64, greedy:
+
+| Category | Prompt Tokens | xserv (tok/s) | HF (tok/s) | Ratio |
+|----------|--------------|---------------|------------|-------|
+| Short (~12 tok) | 12-14 | 12.5 | 38.5 | 0.32x |
+| Medium (~28 tok) | 27-28 | 13.6 | 44.1 | 0.31x |
+| Long (~60 tok) | 58-64 | 13.0 | 36.0 | 0.36x |
+| **Overall** | — | **12.9** | **36.6** | **0.35x** |
+
+### Phase-over-Phase Improvement
+
+| Phase | Attention | repeat_kv | tok/s | vs HF |
+|-------|-----------|-----------|-------|-------|
+| 10 | Naive (O(S²), cuBLAS batched) | CPU round-trip | 6.9 | 15% |
+| 11 | Naive + GPU KV cache | GPU repeat_kv | 10.3 | 30% |
+| **14** | **FA2 (O(1), fused kernel)** | **None (GQA in kernel)** | **12.9** | **35%** |
+
+Phase 14 vs Phase 11: **+25% throughput** (10.3 → 12.9 tok/s).
+
+### Improvement Breakdown (estimated)
+
+| Factor | Contribution |
+|--------|-------------|
+| Eliminating repeat_kv GPU alloc + copy (per layer) | ~10% |
+| Eliminating K^T transpose + contiguous | ~5% |
+| Eliminating S×S score matrix alloc | ~5% |
+| Fused kernel (1 launch vs 6) | ~5% |
+
+### Concurrent Requests
+
+8 concurrent requests, max_batch=4:
+
+| Metric | Result |
+|--------|--------|
+| Wall clock | 22.5s |
+| Sum of individual latencies | 135.0s |
+| Scheduling speedup | **6.0x** |
+| Throughput | 11.4 tok/s |
+
+Continuous batching scheduling confirmed working (decode batch_size=4 in logs).
+
+## Remaining Performance Gap
+
+35% of HF throughput. Main bottlenecks:
+
+| Bottleneck | Impact | Fix |
+|-----------|--------|-----|
+| **Decode Q_len=1 inefficiency** | FA2 kernel: 64 threads, only 1 active (owns_row=true for single query) | Specialized decode attention kernel (vector-dot against KV, parallel reduction along S) |
+| **No kernel fusion** | RMSNorm+residual, SiLU*up: separate kernels, redundant HBM reads/writes | Fused kernels (Phase 15) |
+| **No CUDA Graphs** | ~100+ kernel launches per decode step, each has host-side overhead | Capture decode iteration as CUDA Graph (Phase 15) |
+| **Per-seq forward (no batched decode)** | With batch=4, 4 serial forward passes per iteration | Batched projections + per-seq attention (Phase 15, depends on FA2 decode kernel) |
+| **No vectorized loads in FA2** | Scalar bf16→f32 conversion in dot product loop | float4 / bfloat162 vectorized loads |
+
+## Memory Usage
+
+| Component | Naive (Phase 11) | FA2 (Phase 14) |
+|-----------|-----------------|----------------|
+| Score matrix [1, 32, S, S] | S² × 32 × 2B | **0** |
+| repeat_kv K/V [1, 32, S, 128] | 2 × S × 32 × 128 × 2B per layer | **0** |
+| K^T contiguous copy | S × 32 × 128 × 2B per layer | **0** |
+
+For S=256 (current max): savings ~6 MB per layer × 36 layers ≈ 216 MB.
+For S=2048: savings ~384 MB per layer × 36 layers ≈ 13.5 GB (naive would OOM).
+
+## Tracking
+
+| Phase | Attention | tok/s | vs HF | Correctness |

+# Phase 15 Benchmark: Performance Optimization
+
+**Date**: 2026-05-23
+**Hardware**: RTX 5090 (32GB GDDR7, SM120 CC 12.0, 170 SMs, 1.79 TB/s)
+**Model**: Qwen3-8B (BF16, 36 layers, 4096 hidden, 32 Q / 8 KV GQA heads, head_dim=128)
+**Config**: greedy decoding (temperature=0), max_tokens=64, serial (batch=1)
+
+## Ablation: Each Optimization Measured Independently
+
+| # | Optimization | tok/s | Delta | ms/token | Roofline |
+|---|-------------|-------|-------|----------|----------|
+| 0 | Phase 14 baseline (FA2 + naive cuBLAS GEMV) | 12.9 | — | 77.5 | 12% |
+| 1 | + Decode attention kernel (256 threads) | 12.9 | +0% | 77.5 | 12% |
+| 2 | + Fused SiLU×Mul | 13.0 | +1% | 76.9 | 12% |
+| 3 | + Fused Add+RMSNorm | 13.2 | +2% | 75.8 | 12% |
+| 4 | + Custom GEMV (M=1, K-split tiled) | 46.6 | +253% | 21.5 | 42% |
+| 5 | + Tensor::empty (skip cudaMemset) | **50.3** | **+8%** | **19.9** | **45%** |
+
+## Comparison with HuggingFace transformers
+
+8 prompts (short/medium/long) × max_tokens=64, greedy, serial:
+
+| System | tok/s | ms/token | Roofline |
+|--------|-------|----------|----------|
+| HF transformers (BF16, torch 2.8, SDPA) | 36.0 | 27.8 | 32% |
+| **xserv Phase 15** | **50.3** | **19.9** | **45%** |
+| Roofline (1.79 TB/s, 16GB model) | 112.0 | 8.9 | 100% |
+
+**xserv is 140% of HF transformers throughput.**
+
+## Per-Prompt Detail (Phase 15 Final)
+
+| # | Prompt | pt | ct | Time | tok/s |
+|---|--------|----|----|------|-------|
+| 1 | What is gravity? | 12 | 64 | 1.39s | 46.0 |
+| 2 | Hello, how are you? | 14 | 64 | 1.27s | 50.5 |
+| 3 | Explain DNA briefly. | 13 | 64 | 1.25s | 51.2 |
+| 4 | Write a detailed explanation of photosynthesis... | 27 | 64 | 1.26s | 50.7 |
+| 5 | Describe machine learning. | 13 | 64 | 1.25s | 51.2 |
+| 6 | What causes earthquakes? | 12 | 64 | 1.25s | 51.1 |
+| 7 | How does the internet work? | 14 | 64 | 1.25s | 51.1 |
+| 8 | What is the speed of light? | 15 | 64 | 1.25s | 51.0 |
+
+Prompt 1 is slower (46.0 vs 51.x) due to first-request warmup (caching allocator cold start).
+
+## Concurrent Throughput
+
+8 requests concurrent, max_batch=4:
+
+| Config | tok/s | Wall clock | Speedup |
+|--------|-------|-----------|---------|
+| Serial (batch=1, custom GEMV) | 50.3 | — | — |
+| Concurrent (batch=4, cuBLAS M=4) | 28.2 | 9.09s | 6.47x scheduling |
+| Concurrent (batch=4, custom GEMV) | 35.1* | ~7.3s | ~6x scheduling |
+
+*Note: batch=4 with custom GEMV is slower than serial because:
+1. Batched decode path uses cuBLAS for M>1 matmuls, losing the GEMV advantage
+2. Per-seq attention/reshape overhead in the batched path adds ~2ms/step
+3. Custom GEMV already saturates bandwidth at M=1
+
+Serial decode with custom GEMV is the optimal path for current architecture.
+
+## Correctness Verification
+
+| Test | Result |
+|------|--------|
+| Top-1 logits match vs HF (10 prompts) | 9/10 (90%) |
+| Top-5 overlap vs HF (10 prompts) | 4.0/5 avg |
+| vs pre-optimization baseline | Identical (same 9/10) |
+| API generation (52 prompts) | 52/52 pass |
+| SSE streaming | Working |
+| Chinese prompts | Working |
+
+## Phase-over-Phase Performance Tracking
+
+| Phase | Key Change | tok/s | vs HF | Roofline |
+|-------|-----------|-------|-------|----------|
+| 8 | GPT-2 inference (no cache) | 2.5 | 7% | — |
+| 9 | + KV cache (CPU) | 44.3 (GPT-2) | — | — |
+| 10 | Qwen3-8B (CPU KV cache) | 6.9 | 19% | 6% |
+| 11 | + GPU KV cache | 10.3 | 29% | 9% |
+| 14 | + Flash Attention 2 | 12.9 | 36% | 12% |
+| **15** | **+ Custom GEMV + fused + empty** | **50.3** | **140%** | **45%** |
+
+Total speedup from Phase 10 to Phase 15: **7.3x** (6.9 → 50.3 tok/s).
