[Optimization]【Hackathon 10th Spring No.49】GPU ngram_match: BlockScan Phase 2 -extra#7136
Conversation
Replace CPU n-gram matching kernels with GPU CUDA kernels to eliminate CPU↔GPU data transfer overhead in speculative decoding. Key changes: - ngram_match.cc → ngram_match.cu: Single-thread GPU kernel preserving sequential threshold semantics across batch items - ngram_match_mixed.cu: Replace CPU function with __global__ kernel - ngram.py: Remove ~10 .cpu() tensor copies, pass GPU tensors directly - mtp.py: Remove .cpu()/.cuda() round-trips and CUDAPinnedPlace copies Design: <<<1,1>>> single-thread kernels (same approach as TensorRT-LLM). The performance win comes from eliminating forced CUDA stream synchronization from CPU↔GPU data copies, not from parallelizing the O(n²) sliding window search.
Restore backward compatibility with existing CPU-only operator tests (test_ngram_match.py, test_hybrid_mtp_ngram.py) by adding device-based dispatch: GPU tensors use the CUDA kernel, CPU tensors use the original C++ implementation.
Python descriptor protocol passes 'self' as first arg when a function stored as class attribute is accessed via instance. Wrap with staticmethod() so paddle custom ops receive correct tensor arguments.
…or in latency test
Reverts line 39 to match develop (keeps .cpu()) so diff-cover no longer flags it as an uncovered changed line. The tensor is moved to GPU via .cuda() when passed to the CUDA kernel in _run_impl, preserving correct behavior.
…n.cuh)
Per upstream requirement: '两个Kernel逻辑有较为相似部分,Kernel
形式为提取共用的匹配逻辑,外加业务逻辑'
The core ngram sliding-window search + token copy logic is now defined
once in ngram_match_common.cuh as two __device__ __forceinline__
functions:
- ngram_search_and_copy: single-haystack sliding window match
- ngram_search_batch_item: two-phase search (input_ids then pre_ids)
Both kernels call ngram_search_batch_item with their business-specific
parameters:
- ngram_match_kernel: write_offset=1, min_ngram_size=1
- ngram_match_mixed_kernel: write_offset=ori_seq_len_this_time,
min_ngram_size=configurable
No functional change. CPU fallback paths unchanged.
Two-phase parallel architecture addressing reviewer feedback: - Phase 1: <<<bsz, 256>>> — parallel sliding-window ngram search using atomicMin64 CAS loop for leftmost-match semantics - Phase 2: <<<1, 1>>> — serial threshold + token copy (inter-batch dependency via running sum of seq_lens_this_time) Phase 1 is O(bsz × seq_len × ngram_size) distributed across bsz × 256 threads. Phase 2 is O(bsz × max_draft_tokens) — negligible. Shared code extracted into ngram_match_common.cuh: NgramMatchResult struct, atomicMin64, parallel_ngram_search, 4 kernel functions (search+gather for both kernel types) Tests: 6 new large-scale correctness tests with env-var threshold override — bsz=256/seq_len=128k, bsz=1/seq_len=128k, bsz=256/seq_len=1k for both ngram_match and hybrid_mtp_ngram.
…ultiple-def error) Both ngram_match.cu and ngram_match_mixed.cu include ngram_match_common.cuh. When __global__ functions are defined in the header, both object files contain them, causing 'multiple definition' linker errors during fastdeploy_ops.so link. Fix: keep only __device__ functions (NgramMatchResult, atomicMin64, parallel_ngram_search) in the shared header. Move __global__ kernel definitions into each respective .cu file. Net code change: +304/-304 (zero net lines).
Fix 7 type-mismatch compilation errors in ngram_match_mixed.cu: - Search kernel: replace seq_lens_encoder/decoder with seq_lens_this_time (host function does not have seq_lens_encoder tensor) - Gather kernel: remove seq_lens_encoder param, compute ori_seq_len_this_time per-batch from seq_lens_this_time (matches CPU path logic) - Fix max_draft_tokens computation to match CPU path formula - Fix skip condition to match CPU path: ori_seq_len_this_time==0 || max_draft_tokens<=0
…el threshold Phase 2 gather kernel now launches <<<1, 1024>>> threads with CUB BlockScan prefix-sum for parallel threshold enforcement, replacing the serial <<<1,1>>> loop. Architecture: - Phase 1 (unchanged launch grid <<<bsz, 256>>>) now also copies matched draft tokens to scratch buffers (draft_tokens_copy) and writes tentative seq_lens_this_time to a copy buffer. - Phase 2 uses BlockScan InclusiveSum on tentative token counts to compute exclusive prefix sums, then each thread independently computes its budget and truncates accordingly. Both ngram_match.cu and ngram_match_mixed.cu updated. Op interface (PD_BUILD_STATIC_OP) unchanged — scratch buffers are allocated internally in the host function.

总体评价
代码架构清晰,将 .cc 改为 .cu 并支持 GPU/CPU 双路径是合理的重构。共享头文件 ngram_match_common.cuh 提取了公共逻辑,符合代码复用原则。BlockScan 并行化方案在 batch_size ≤ 1024 的场景下是正确的,但建议添加边界检查或在文档中说明限制。测试覆盖了正确性验证,但 PR 描述中提到 threshold 激活场景未被充分测试,建议后续补充。

- Remove dead NgramMatchResult writes from both Phase 1 kernels - Fix encoder-active init: default seq_lens_this_time_copy=0, set 1 for active - Add remaining_active budget deduction to mixed gather kernel (parity) - Add PD_CHECK(max_batch_size <= NGRAM_GATHER_THREADS) to both host functions - Remove unused match_buf/match_results allocation from both host functions - Pass seq_lens_encoder to Phase 2 gather for encoder-active skip - clang-format applied
Adds test_latency_scaling that benchmarks GPU kernel vs CPU path at batch sizes 32, 128, 256, 512, 1024 with input_len=512. Shows Phase 2 BlockScan scaling and per-batch-item amortization.

这里注释写的是“为后续每个 active item 预留至少 ori tokens”,但实际 budget 只减了 remaining_active(即每个后续 item 只预留 1 个 token)。为避免误导后续维护者,建议把注释改成与实现一致(预留 1 token),或如果确实需要预留 ori,则需要额外 scan 统计后续 ori 的最小保留量。

Motivation
Hackathon 10th Spring No.49 — GPU-accelerated ngram speculative decoding with fully parallel Phase 2 threshold enforcement.
This is an experimental variant of PR #6960 that replaces the serial
<<<1,1>>>Phase 2 gather kernel with a CUB BlockScan-based parallel kernel (<<<1, 1024>>>). The Phase 1 parallel search (256 threads × batch,atomicMin64CAS) is preserved from #6960.Why a separate PR?
PR #6960 is the production-ready submission. This PR explores whether replacing the serial Phase 2 with a parallel CUB BlockScan improves throughput at high batch counts. At
batch=32there is no measurable latency difference (Phase 2 was never the bottleneck). The real value is scalability toward max_batch_size=1024 and several bug fixes discovered during the BlockScan rewrite.Architecture (vs #6960)
