Summary

Why this predicate

The original K >= 2N predicate was re-tested. It preserves the H3 contraction but is too broad without a depth floor: representative smaller-K shapes regressed by 0.5% to 20.8% on gfx1151. A plain K >= 14336 gate also selected the 256-row tile on some wide-N grids where the shared selector was faster. K = 14336 is the MiniMax-H3 mlp_down contraction depth.

The final predicate retains the H3/deep-K case and adds the 256-row tile only for complete WGP rounds. Compared with the previous K >= 14336 gate (HIP events, alternating fresh processes, median of run medians):

Shape (M,N,K) Previous Final Change
(512,8192,14336) 3.6192 ms 3.1618 ms -12.6%
(512,9216,14336) 3.7262 ms 3.6161 ms -3.0%
(1024,8192,14336) 6.5110 ms 6.3050 ms -3.2%
H3 (3802,5376,14336) same tile 15.1003 ms neutral

The current allocation-derived shared probe recheck measured H3 mlp_down at 15.1154 ms on gfx1151, within the prior run spread. Tested HIP outputs are bit-identical between selectors.

E2E on gfx1151

MiniMax-H3, same models/prompt/seed/settings, 124 frames at 24 fps, 20 steps:

Selector E2E
Previous K >= 14336 gate 145.34 s
Original K >= 2N candidate 144.21 s
Final WGP + K >= 2N gate 145.35 s

The spread is below 0.8% and within fresh-process noise; the H3 shape selects the same tile in all three. Every file decodes to exactly 124 frames at 416x224/24 fps plus 5.167 s stereo AAC, with identical decoded video and audio SHA-256 hashes. The final review change only narrows other architectures and centralizes the device probe; it does not change gfx1151 tile selection or kernel math.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The HIP INT8 backend now caches RDNA generation and WGP-count detection, then selects specialized WMMA dispatch for qualifying RDNA 3 and 3.5 shapes. New tests cover SwiGLU ConvRot and deep-K tail cases against eager results.

Changes

HIP INT8 dispatch and validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
RDNA-aware WMMA dispatch
comfy_kitchen/backends/hip/ops/gemm_int8.hip
The backend caches RDNA generation and WGP-count information from HIP device properties. RDNA 3 and 3.5 shapes use the 256×128×128 kernel only when dimension, occupancy, and deep-K or WGP-rounding conditions pass. Other cases, including RDNA 4, use the generic WMMA launcher.
INT8 regression validation
tests/test_hip_wmma.py
Tests compare SwiGLU ConvRot and non-multiple-of-tile deep-K INT8 linear results against eager execution. The coverage keeps the tail cases in line. 🧙

Pull request overview

This PR improves HIP INT8 WMMA GEMM performance on gfx11/gfx12 by selecting a deeper K-tile under specific large-shape conditions, and adds a reproducible ConvRot INT8 benchmarking harness (Python + PowerShell runner) aligned with MiniMax-H3 production shapes.

Changes:

  • Add a gfx11/gfx12 INT8 GEMM launch specialization using a 128-wide K tile when M >= 512, N >= 128, and K >= 2N.
  • Add a ConvRot INT8 benchmark script that measures quantize / GEMM / full linear and can optionally run a correctness check.
  • Add a PowerShell runner for the benchmark with an explicit Python executable parameter.

Built and ran this on RDNA4 (gfx1200). GEMM timed with torch.cuda.Event, 100 launches per sample, best of 9; run-to-run drift here is about 1.5%. Output is bit-identical to main, and the INT8/WMMA suites are 474 passed, 64 skipped, so this is purely tile selection.

The change is right, and it's bigger on RDNA4 than the +1.32% you saw on gfx1151. H3 mlp_down (M=3802, N=5376, K=14336) goes 6.716 ms -> 5.549 ms, or -17.4%. N=2048, K=16384 goes -46.4%.

But K >= 2 * N is a ratio test, not a depth test, and it misses in both directions. It fires on shallow-K shapes that then regress, and skips deep-K shapes with wide N (all M=3802, ms):

N K main #130 #122
1024 2048 0.225 0.236 (+5.2%) 0.189 (-15.7%)
1024 3072 0.296 0.313 (+5.5%) 0.264 (-11.0%)
2048 6144 0.975 0.993 (+1.9%) 0.950 (-2.5%)
21504 5376 9.512 9.481 (-0.3%, never fires) 8.778 (-7.7%)
2048 4096 0.867 0.740 (-14.7%) 0.694 (-19.9%)
4096 12288 5.427 3.989 (-26.5%) 3.913 (-27.9%)
5376 14336 6.716 5.549 (-17.4%) 5.708 (-15.0%)

Only mlp_down of your four H3 shapes satisfies the predicate.

The new tile also spills on RDNA4. From -Rpass-analysis=kernel-resource-usage, 256x128x128 is 253 VGPRs and 0 scratch on gfx1100 and gfx1151, but 256 VGPRs, 12 bytes/lane scratch and 2 spilled on gfx1200/gfx1201. Occupancy drops 6 -> 4 waves/SIMD and LDS goes 27648 -> 52224 B on both families. That is invisible from a gfx1151 system, which is presumably why it did not show up. A 128x128x128 tile reaches the same place spill-free.

On overlap: this edits the same launch_int8 ladder as #122, which replaces the ladder with a selector keyed on K depth and grid coverage. Across the shapes above, #130 wins on the two where the 256-row tile pays off and #122 wins on the rest without regressing anything. Now that #108 is closed, the narrowed predicate here looks like the answer to whatever the unconditional K > N version regressed, and the numbers above suggest K / N is not the axis that was hurting. If the 256-row tile is worth keeping for very deep shapes, adding it to #122's selector gated on K depth rather than K / N keeps the win without the shallow-K cost, and leaves one selector to reason about instead of two.

Two smaller things. -9.33% E2E does not follow from -1.32% on one of four GEMMs; mlp_down is roughly 20% of INT8 GEMM time and GEMM is only part of a step, so the arithmetic gives well under 0.5%. Since the change is correctness-neutral, the kernel numbers can carry the PR on their own. And the repo has no .ps1, .sh, .bat or .cmd anywhere, with samples/ holding library-usage examples rather than benchmark harnesses, on the CUDA side too. I would drop both new files and put the measurements in the PR description. A tile-selection change does want a pinning test, though, and #108 had one in test_int8_linear_h3_swiglu_convrot_matches_eager. That is worth bringing over here rather than letting it lapse with the closed PR.

Updated in 4f48944 based on the review feedback:

Measured against #122 on gfx1151 with 1344x768, 124 frames at 24 fps, 20 steps:

I also tested and rejected a broader generation dispatch because it regressed E2E by 9.96%. The remaining value is deliberately narrow: mlp_down GEMM improves 14.9171 ms -> 14.7329 ms (-1.23%), while the four-GEMM total is effectively neutral.

The benchmark files remain in this revision, following the author's preference, but the previous unsupported -9.33% E2E claim has been removed.

Ready for review after #122 merged.

The branch is now a single commit (c34bd17) directly on current main (7490d87), with only two changed files: the INT8 launcher and its tests.

Additional selector investigation:

  • Re-tested the original K >= 2N predicate. It preserves the H3 contraction, but without a depth floor it regresses smaller-K shapes by up to 20.8%, so that broad form was rejected.
  • The final gfx11 predicate keeps K >= 14336 and selects the 256-row tile only when K >= 2N or the 256x128 grid is an exact WGP round.
  • On gfx1151 this removes measured wide-N regressions: (512,8192,14336) improves 3.6192 -> 3.1634 ms (-12.6%), (512,9216,14336) -3.0%, and (1024,8192,14336) -3.2%. The H3 contraction remains within noise.
  • RDNA 3 and RDNA 3.5 use the gfx11 branch; RDNA 4 retains Occupancy-aware HIP WMMA GEMM tile selection and vectorized fp8 elementwise kernels #122's spill-free selector.

Fast H3 E2E validation used 416x224 H.264 High + AAC-LC, 124 frames at 24 fps, 20 steps:

  • previous gate: 145.34 s
  • original K >= 2N: 144.21 s
  • final gate: 144.46 s

All three decoded video/audio streams have identical SHA-256 hashes. The final file contains exactly 124 frames and 5.167 s stereo AAC.

Validation on c34bd17:

  • gfx1100/gfx1151/gfx1200/gfx1201 HIP build, 32 threads
  • targeted H3/deep-K tests: 2 passed
  • full gfx1151 HIP WMMA suite: 397 passed
  • ruff and diff checks passed

Benchmark scripts remain on the operational branch and are not in this PR diff.

Rebuilt b4d749f on current main and ran it on RDNA4 (gfx1200, 16 WGPs). The arch gate does what it says. test_hip_wmma.py, test_int8.py and test_int8_input_act.py are 474 passed, 62 skipped, and INT8 GEMM timings are unchanged against main (torch.cuda.Event, 100 launches per sample, best of 9, two alternating rounds of fresh processes, both shown):

Shape (M,N,K) main #130
(3802,5376,14336) 7.257 / 7.333 ms 7.334 / 7.292 ms
(3802,2048,16384) 9.139 / 9.219 ms 9.135 / 9.244 ms
(512,1024,14336) 0.2736 / 0.2704 ms 0.2697 / 0.2687 ms

The spread is the run-to-run drift on my system, so the per-launch hipPointerGetAttributes inside the shape gate costs nothing measurable even on shapes that reach it and then fall through.

The spill rationale holds up. -Rpass-analysis=kernel-resource-usage on gemm_int8.hip, for the 256x128x128 INT8 instantiation (identical for all three output dtypes):

Target VGPRs Scratch B/lane VGPR spills Occupancy LDS B/block
gfx1100 252 0 0 4 52224
gfx1151 252 0 0 4 52224
gfx1200 256 12 2 4 52224
gfx1201 256 12 2 4 52224

Keeping gfx12 on the 128-row selector is the right call. The two new tests are also well built: deriving N from the device WGP count makes the specialization fire on any gfx11 part regardless of its WGP count, and K = 14400 pins the BKB=128 tail.

Two things.

The gfx11 arm covers eight targets in architectures.json (gfx1100, gfx1101, gfx1102, gfx1103, gfx1150, gfx1151, gfx1152, gfx1153), and exactly one of them has been measured. #130 (comment) said RDNA 3 and RDNA 4 would fall through to #122's selector until measured; the final revision turns RDNA 3 back on. That reaches the small gfx1103/gfx115x parts, where the predicate still fires readily: at M=512, N=1024, K=14336 on a 6-WGP part the grid is 16 blocks against 6 WGPs and K >= 2N holds, so a 52 KB-LDS 252-VGPR tile gets picked on a part that has never been timed with it. Spill-free is not the same as faster. Narrowing the condition to the parts that have actually been measured keeps the entire measured win and costs nothing.

The device probe duplicates device_wgp_count() in gemm_wmma.h: same 16-slot relaxed atomic cache, same fallback of 16, same hipDeviceAttributeMultiprocessorCount. Two of those in one launch path, disagreeing on what the device is (hipGetDevice in one, hipPointerGetAttributes in the other), is a trap for whoever edits either next. If the pointer-derived device is the better answer, device_wgp_count() should move to it and the generation probe should sit beside it in gemm_wmma.h, with the INT8 launcher just asking for the two values.

Smaller notes, not blockers. K >= 2 * N is still present as the OR arm, and it is the arm carrying the headline case: mlp_down gives 15 * 42 = 630 blocks, which is not a whole multiple of any plausible WGP count, so that tile is selected by the ratio and not by the coverage test. The PR body describes this correctly, but the two update comments say the K / N predicate was removed, so it is worth restating what the gate actually is. And M >= 512, N >= 128, K >= 14336 reads as H3's shape rather than a derived bound; the thresholds next door in #122 are powers of two with the reasoning written down, so a line saying what 14336 stands for would keep the two selectors readable together. Last, the 256-row kernel is still instantiated for gfx1200 and gfx1201 where the gate guarantees it can never launch - harmless, but it means a spilling kernel is carried in the RDNA4 binary.

Thanks for the thorough gfx1200 rebuild, timing data, and resource report. I agreed with both blocking points and addressed them in 0a2b1f4.

  • The 256-row specialization is now enabled only on the measured gfx1151 target. gfx110x, gfx1150, gfx1152, gfx1153, and gfx12xx all retain Occupancy-aware HIP WMMA GEMM tile selection and vectorized fp8 elementwise kernels #122's selector.
  • The duplicated device probe is gone. gemm_wmma.h now owns one allocation-derived {gfx_arch, wgps} cache, and both the shared WMMA selector and the INT8 launcher query that same helper.
  • The selector comment now states that K = 14336 is the MiniMax-H3 mlp_down contraction depth.
  • The PR title, summary, and architecture policy now reflect the exact gfx1151 scope. The current predicate still includes K >= 2N as an OR arm; the earlier “removed” comments described older revisions, so I have restated the current gate explicitly here and in the PR body rather than rewriting that history.

Validation on the updated head:

  • 32-thread build for gfx1100, gfx1151, gfx1200, and gfx1201
  • Targeted H3/deep-K plus shared FP8 paths: 30 passed
  • test_hip_wmma.py, test_int8.py, and test_int8_input_act.py on gfx1151: 474 passed, 62 skipped
  • ruff check and git diff --check
  • gfx1151 H3 mlp_down: 15.1154 ms, within the prior 15.1003 ms run spread

I left the unreachable gfx12 instantiation in the binary unchanged, as you marked it non-blocking; removing target-specific code emission would broaden this patch, while runtime dispatch cannot select it on gfx12.
