// T14 flash-attention correctness gate: the fused flash SDPA core must match the // composed T10 path (cublasSgemmStridedBatched×2 + causal-softmax kernel) in // forward logits, loss, AND every parameter gradient — flash is the SAME SDPA // math (online softmax never materializes the [bh,S,S] scores), so it differs // from composed only by reduction order (in-kernel fp32 FMA vs cuBLAS, and the // dK/dV atomicAdd order in backward). This test makes that a closed on-GPU loop: // // build two identical models (same init), one with `--flash` on, one off, run // the SAME batched loss + backward on both, and assert // 1. the forward logits match within tolerance // 2. the loss matches // 3. EVERY parameter's grad matches within tolerance // // Parameterised over fp32 AND bf16 (T12). bf16 just adds the bf16 rounding band on // top — flash's bf16 path upcasts Q/K/V to fp32 for the kernel exactly like the // composed path's fp32 softmax, so the two are still the same softmax numerics. #![cfg(not(no_cuda))] use xtrain_cuda::device; use xtrain_model::{Config, TinyTransformer, batched_ids_tensor}; use xtrain_tensor::{DType, Device}; fn fill(n: usize, seed: u64, scale: f32) -> Vec { let mut state = seed .wrapping_mul(2862933555777941757) .wrapping_add(3037000493); (0..n) .map(|_| { state = state .wrapping_mul(6364136223846793005) .wrapping_add(1442695040888963407); (((state >> 33) as f32 / (1u64 << 31) as f32) - 0.5) * 2.0 * scale }) .collect() } fn build(cfg: Config, device: Device, dtype: DType, flash: bool) -> TinyTransformer { let mut seed = 1u64; let m = TinyTransformer::new(cfg, device, |shape| { seed = seed.wrapping_add(1); let n: usize = shape.iter().product(); if shape.len() == 1 { fill(n, seed, 0.02).iter().map(|v| v + 1.0).collect() } else { fill(n, seed, 0.08) } }); m.with_compute_dtype(dtype).with_flash(flash) } fn host(t: &xtrain_tensor::Tensor) -> Vec { t.to_dtype(DType::F32) .to_device(Device::Cpu) .as_slice::() .to_vec() } fn run(dtype: DType, logit_tol: f32, grad_tol: f32) { assert!(device::device_count().unwrap() > 0, "no CUDA device"); device::set_device(0).unwrap(); let device = Device::Cuda(0); // seq=40 > FA_TILE=32 so the online-softmax tile-rescale path is exercised. let mut cfg = Config::tiny(); cfg.vocab = 16; cfg.n_layers = 4; let batch = 3usize; let seq = 40usize; let seqs: Vec> = (0..batch) .map(|b| { (0..seq) .map(|i| ((b * 7 + i * 3 + 1) % cfg.vocab) as i32) .collect() }) .collect(); let tgts: Vec> = (0..batch) .map(|b| { (0..seq) .map(|i| ((b * 5 + i * 2 + 2) % cfg.vocab) as i32) .collect() }) .collect(); let ids = batched_ids_tensor(&seqs, device); let tgt = batched_ids_tensor(&tgts, device); // --- flash OFF (composed reference) --- let off = build(cfg, device, dtype, false); let off_logits = host(&off.forward_batched(&ids, batch).value()); let off_loss = off.loss_batched(&ids, &tgt, batch); let off_loss_val = host(&off_loss.value())[0]; off_loss.backward(); let off_grads: Vec> = off .params() .iter() .map(|p| host(&p.grad().expect("off grad"))) .collect(); // --- flash ON --- let on = build(cfg, device, dtype, true); let on_logits = host(&on.forward_batched(&ids, batch).value()); let on_loss = on.loss_batched(&ids, &tgt, batch); let on_loss_val = host(&on_loss.value())[0]; on_loss.backward(); let on_grads: Vec> = on .params() .iter() .map(|p| host(&p.grad().expect("on grad"))) .collect(); // 1.
