Conversation
The GridBranch router contraction einsum("ngfhc,nfh->ngfc") was written as
a broadcast multiply followed by a reduce over the branch axis. That
materialises the entire (N, G, F, H, C) product -- roughly 0.8 GB at the
grid resolution of examples/water/dpa4 -- writes it to memory and reads it
straight back, and the backward pays the same traffic again.
An op-level CUDA profile of a DPA4 training step measured this single
reduce at 45.6 ms per call over a [1152, 9, 1, 32, 576] operand, three
calls per step: the most expensive kernel in the run. The pt backend
spells the same contraction as torch.einsum and never builds the
intermediate.
Use xp.matmul instead, which is array-API standard (unlike np.einsum,
which is what the broadcast form was avoiding) and contracts H in place so
only the (N, G, F, C) result is written. matmul broadcasts its leading
batch axes, so the router reshapes to (N, 1, F, 1, H) and lines up with
value's (N, G, F, H, C) without any permute -- a permute would reintroduce
the copy this removes.
This reverts commit 7518a41. Measurement did not support it. An op-level profile attributed the 45.6 ms reduce to ExpandBackward0, not to this multiply, and re-benchmarking after the change moved DPA4 eager training by nothing (1.514 -> 1.552 s/step, i.e. run-to-run noise) while the offending kernel stayed byte-identical at 410.7 ms. The GridBranch product is well under the size that would matter. Since matmul is autocast-listed where mul/sum are not, keeping it would have silently moved this contraction into bf16 under the autocast region for no measured gain. The actual site is the broadcast weight in so3.py, fixed separately.
Both so3 channel mixers spelled their einsum as a batched matmul with the
NODE/EDGE axis as the matmul BATCH and the weight carrying a dummy leading
axis:
matmul(x[:, :, :, None, :], weight_expanded[None, ...])
matmul broadcasts batch axes, so this expands the weight to
(N, D, F, Cin, Cout). For examples/water/dpa4 that turns a 165K-element
parameter into 191M elements -- about 0.8 GB -- on every call, and autograd
must then reduce the whole expanded gradient back to the parameter shape.
An op-level CUDA profile of a DPA4 training step attributed 45.6 ms per
call to that ExpandBackward0 reduce over a [1152, 9, 1, 32, 576] operand,
three calls per step, making it the most expensive kernel in the run; the
ChannelLinear twin cost a further ~7-9 ms per call over [102510, 1, 32, 64].
The pt backend spells the same contraction as torch.einsum and never
expands the weight.
Batch over the small (D, F) / (F,) axes instead, which keeps N as matmul
ROWS. The weight is then used in place and its gradient is an ordinary
matmul. The transposes this adds touch only the (N, D, F, C) operands,
which are orders of magnitude smaller than the expanded weight.
Follow-up to the so3.py fix, applying the same correction wherever a contraction was spelled so that the NODE axis becomes the matmul BATCH and a trainable tensor is broadcast across it: * grid_net.GridBranch einsum "ngfhc,nfh->ngfc" -- was a broadcast multiply plus a reduce, materialising an (N, G, F, H, C) product H times the size of its own result. * grid_net.FrameContract / FrameExpand einsum "ndfi,dio->ndfo" -- broadcast the per-degree weight to (N, D, i, o). Both now share _degree_batched_matmul, which batches over the small degree axis. * lora.call einsum "ndfi,difo->ndfo" -- the LoRA twin of the so3.py site. In every case autograd had to reduce the fully expanded gradient back to the parameter shape on each step; batching over the small (D, F) axes keeps N as matmul ROWS so the weight is used in place. The two projection.py sites that share the [None, ...] spelling are left alone deliberately: to_grid_mat / from_grid_mat are registered as BUFFERS with requires_grad=False (verified on a constructed DPA4), so no gradient is taken for them and none of the expensive half applies. Covered by the existing pt-parity gates, which construct these classes directly: test_dpa4_frame_mixers.py (FrameContract/FrameExpand, fp64 weight-copied vs pt), test_dpa4_gridbranch_frames.py, test_dpa4_lora.py, and test_dpa4_dpmodel_parity.py.
…nored The descriptor's use_amp flag was never written to serialize(), and deserialize() feeds config straight into __init__, so any rebuild fell back to the True default. The pt_expt backend rebuilds the descriptor from that dict, so 'use_amp: false' in the input was silently discarded and training stayed in bfloat16 autocast; only the pt backend, which builds once from the config, honoured it. Caught while benchmarking: disabling AMP made pt 23% faster on a Turing GPU (no bf16 tensor cores) while pt-expt did not move at all, and an op-level profile showed pt-expt still spending 45% of its device time in bf16 gemm kernels with use_amp=false. Add the key to both the dpmodel and pt serialize configs so the two stay key-identical and the flag survives a cross-backend round-trip. Records written before this change deserialize unchanged -- the key is simply absent and __init__ supplies the default. The pre-existing round-trip tests compare forward OUTPUTS, which cannot catch this: dpmodel never autocasts, so the outputs agree whatever use_amp says. The new test pins the attribute itself, for both boolean values, and fails on the previous code.
pt_expt accepted `model.enable_tf32` and threw it away with a warning, so
DPA4/SeZM training always ran at "highest" matmul precision while the pt
backend -- reading the same input.json -- ran its training forwards under
`set_float32_matmul_precision("high")`. On Ampere and later that is the
difference between TF32 tensor cores and fp32 CUDA cores for every matmul,
and GEMM is ~60% of compiled device time on this workload, so the two
backends were not comparable on that hardware at all.
Mirror pt's policy exactly: TRAINING forwards follow `enable_tf32`
(argcheck default True), EVAL forwards follow `DP_TF32_INFER` (0/1/2 ->
highest/high/medium, invalid values rejected). Scope matches pt, where
argcheck declares the knob inside the dpa4 model arg block and only the
sezm builders wire it: pt_expt attaches it in `get_sezm_model` and
`get_native_spin_model`, and every other model keeps class defaults that
select full fp32 in both modes.
Ownership: `call_common` is the single owner for eager forwards -- every
pt_expt model's `forward` reaches the backbone through it, and the export
trace roots at `call_common_lower`, so the precision switch never enters an
exported graph. The compiled path needs its own application because
`_CompiledModel.forward` bypasses `call_common` entirely; placing the
context only on the model would have left it dead on exactly the path this
is meant to speed up. The context spans the lazy compile there, since
Inductor picks its GEMM backend while lowering.
Gating on `self.training` is what keeps the existing 1e-12 parity tests
valid: eval and export stay at "highest" unless DP_TF32_INFER asks
otherwise.
The GridBranch router contracts the branch axis H, and H is a handful (1 in
the water example). Spelling it as `matmul(router.reshape(N, 1, F, 1, H),
value)` therefore asks cuBLAS for a batched GEMM with M=1 and K=H, which it
serves from its small-N kernels (`gemmSN_*`, `gemmk1`).
A shape-resolved profile of a compiled DPA4 training step found this to be
the single largest GEMM in the run:
aten::bmm [[119808, 1, 1], [119808, 1, 96]] 0.0249 s/step forward
with its two backward siblings adding 0.0138 s/step -- together ~0.039 s/step
against a total pt-vs-pt_expt compiled gap of 0.055 s/step. The batch is
N(1152) * G(104) and K is 1: no contraction is happening at all, it is a
scalar multiply routed through a GEMM kernel.
Micro-benchmarked fwd+bwd at those exact shapes:
H=1: matmul 7.523 ms mul+sum 1.828 ms (4.1x)
H=3: matmul 4.436 ms mul+sum 4.453 ms (equal)
so the broadcast form is never worse. The comment this replaces claimed the
intermediate costs "H times the size of the result" -- true, but H is small,
and the measurement shows it does not pay for the degenerate GEMM.
This restores the spelling that 7518a41 replaced and 01c58e6 restored
once already; that revert was justified on a different workload (AMP-on
eager, where the site was invisible) and 7545961 then re-applied the
matmul as part of a broader sweep without re-measuring this site. The
numbers above are what was missing both times.
Conflict in deepmd/pt_expt/model/get_model.py, resolved keeping both sides: * imports -- this branch added `os` (for DP_TF32_INFER), upstream added `TYPE_CHECKING`; kept both. * the bridging return -- upstream (deepmodeling#5939) factored the ZBL composition into `_compose_bridging`, while this branch applied `_apply_tf32_policy` at each return site. Took upstream's helper and attached the TF32 policy to whichever model it returns, so both changes keep their behavior.
The contraction and TF32 comments had grown into measurement essays. Keep the part a reader needs -- why the obvious spelling is wrong -- and drop the profiling detail, which belongs in the PR discussion rather than the source. Also drops a `logging` import left unused when the enable_tf32 warn-once test was replaced.

The router site ends up byte-identical to master: 7518a41 replaced the broadcast sum with a matmul, 504bb24 put the sum back, and the net diff was a one-line comment swapped for five -- losing master's (N, G, F, C) shape annotation on the way. Restore master's line exactly, so the branch touches this site not at all. The degenerate GEMM that profiling found there was self-inflicted: it existed only on this branch, never on master, so "fixing" it delivered nothing. Also corrects the so3 ChannelLinear comment, which claimed the contraction is batched over the focus axis. What matters is that B stays the GEMM rows; at n_focus=1 -- every shipped config -- both permutes are contiguous views and the whole thing is one (B, Cin) x (Cin, Cout) GEMM at no copy cost.
…backend" This reverts the pt_expt TF32 policy (99d33ea plus its comment edits in ae72043), restoring the warn-and-ignore behavior on master. The knob is unrelated to this PR's measured speedup (the benchmark card has no TF32 silicon; the whole 1.69x/3.01x gain comes from the contraction fix), its benefit was never measured, and PR deepmodeling#5958 owns the pt_expt training runtime alignment -- including the documented position that pt_expt runs at 'highest' matmul precision. Keeping a second, contradicting implementation here would split ownership of the same policy across two PRs.

The non-empty contractions preserve the old formulas and gradients, and the use_amp serialization change is backward compatible. One introduced edge-case regression remains: the shared frame-mixer helper cannot reshape an empty leading node/edge axis, although the previous matmul returned a correctly shaped empty result. The inline suggestion fixes both FrameContract and FrameExpand without restoring weight broadcasting.

[P2] Preserve empty node/edge batches in the new contraction
When N == 0, this reshape becomes (D, 0, -1). NumPy and PyTorch cannot infer -1 from a zero-element array, so both FrameContract and FrameExpand now raise instead of returning an empty (0, D, F, o) result as the previous broadcasted matmul did. This is reachable when the cross-grid leading axis is an empty graph/edge set or a distributed rank owns no nodes. I reproduced it for both mixers on this head; JAX also fails. Please use explicit channel widths in both reshapes and add an N=0 regression test.

Fixed in 63071be exactly as suggested: both reshapes in _degree_batched_matmul (the one helper behind FrameContract and FrameExpand) now use explicit channel widths taken from the weight shape, so an N == 0 batch flows through as an empty (0, D, F, o) result like the previous broadcasted matmul. Regression test test_empty_batch_passes_through covers both mixers on the numpy and torch namespaces (verified to fail on the -1 version). The jax namespace shares this exact code path but was not run locally.

The use_amp fix is at the wrong abstraction boundary. use_amp is a training-time/runtime policy and must not become part of the portable descriptor serialization or checkpoint state. This is also the policy established on current master by #5963: a checkpoint must not carry the training AMP switch into deployment or a later training run. Adding use_amp to both dpmodel and pt serialization leaks a PyTorch runtime option into cross-backend records (for example, a default use_amp=True record is rejected by the JAX DPA4 deserializer).
The underlying pt_expt bug is real, but it happens during model assembly. On current master I can reproduce the following with get_model: the pt_expt factory initially constructs DescrptDPA4(use_amp=False) correctly, but wrapping it into DPA4EnergyModel replaces it with a different descriptor whose use_amp is True. The atomic-model auto-wrap round-trips the already constructed descriptor through serialize()/deserialize(), so the runtime-only value is lost and the constructor default is restored.
Please keep use_amp out of descriptor serialization and fix the pt_expt construction/wrapping boundary so that the runtime configuration survives model assembly. The regression test should exercise the public construction path, e.g. build via get_model with descriptor.use_amp=False and assert that model.atomic_model.descriptor.use_amp remains False; a descriptor serialization round-trip test codifies the wrong ownership instead of covering the actual failure.
…-dpa4-grid-contract
Reshaping with -1 cannot be inferred from a zero-element array, so FrameContract/FrameExpand raised on N == 0 (empty graph/edge set, or a distributed rank owning no nodes) where the previous broadcasted matmul returned an empty result. Use explicit channel widths from the weight shape in both reshapes; regression test covers both mixers on the numpy and torch namespaces.
…ndary use_amp is a runtime/training policy, not model state: revert the dpa4/sezm serialize additions (a use_amp record leaks a torch runtime option into cross-backend records -- the jax deserializer rejects use_amp=true -- and deepmodeling#5963 established that checkpoints must not carry the AMP switch). The real pt_expt bug is in model assembly: make_model handed the raw dpmodel atomic class to the dpmodel CM, so the constructed atomic model was converted through the auto-wrap serialize()/deserialize() round-trip and every runtime-only option on the live descriptor was reset to its constructor default. Hand the CM the auto-wrapped atomic class instead: the atomic model is constructed directly as a torch module and the live (already wrapped) descriptor/fitting are kept as-is -- no round-trip. Regression tests exercise the public construction path (get_model with descriptor.use_amp=false) and pin that the portable record does not carry use_amp.

The assembly fix still loses runtime-only configuration on the public composition paths. The new auto_wrapped_class(T_AtomicModel) avoids the serialization round-trip only when the outer model constructs its atomic model from arguments. _compose_bridging, however, still builds a raw LinearEnergyAtomicModel and passes it as LinearEnergyModel(atomic_model_=composed). Assigning that raw instance reaches _auto_wrap_native_op, which still performs wrapped_cls.deserialize(value.serialize()) and rebuilds the learned DPA4 child without its runtime-only use_amp value.
I reproduced this on the current head through public get_model: the plain DPA4 config with descriptor.use_amp=false now retains False, but adding bridging_method="ZBL" produces a linear composition whose learned child has descriptor.use_amp is True. The PT backend retains False for the same DPA4+ZBL config. Consequently pt_expt silently enables bf16 autocast despite the explicit user setting whenever analytical bridging is enabled.
This is the same root assembly-boundary bug addressed by this PR, not a separate serialization feature. Please make composition construction lossless as well: construct the composite from wrapped atomic classes/module children instead of converting a populated raw dpmodel instance through portable serialization. Add a regression through public get_model for DPA4/SeZM with bridging_method="ZBL" and use_amp=false, asserting the learned child retains False.

The implementation now has a clean central invariant in auto_wrapped_class, but the same review-history explanation is repeated at four call sites: common.py, the wrapped atomic aliases and bridging path in get_model.py, and make_model.py. The repeated DIRECTLY / WRAPPED / NOT wording and DPA4-specific use_amp narrative reads like patch archaeology rather than stable documentation, and the copies can drift. Please document the general invariant once in the auto_wrapped_class docstring: construct the wrapped class directly when live constructor-supplied components must retain non-serialized runtime state. Keep the call-site comments to one concise ownership line, and leave the concrete use_amp regression history in the tests and PR description. No structural code change is requested; this is about making the final implementation read as one coherent design rather than the sequence of review fixes. |

Please keep the structural performance rationale, but remove the configuration-specific benchmark anecdote from library source. The water-specific 165K-to-191M numbers and the statement that this was the costliest kernel have no recorded shapes, backend, device, benchmark method, or commit, so they cannot be audited and will become stale as configurations and kernels change.
The durable invariant is sufficient here: batching over (D, F) keeps N as the GEMM row dimension, avoiding materialization of N copies of the weight and the corresponding gradient reduction. Please express that directly, for example:
# Batch over (D, F) so N remains the GEMM row dimension. This avoids
# materializing N copies of the weight and the corresponding gradient reduction.There was a problem hiding this comment.
Done in 81e756d3. The comment no longer cites the water example's numbers; it states why the contraction is batched over (D, F) — so N stays the GEMM row dimension, which avoids materializing N copies of the weight and the matching gradient reduction on every backward. That rationale holds at any shape.

This docstring still describes the intermediate reshape-based fix: explicit channel widths and the inability to infer -1 from zero elements. The final (D, F)-batched implementation contains no reshape and no inferred width, so this explanation contradicts the code the test now covers.
Please state only the stable behavior contract here: an empty node axis returns shape (0, D, F, o) on every supported array namespace. The empty graph/edge-set or rank-with-no-local-nodes reachability note is still useful; the deleted broadcast/reshape implementation history is not.

Done in 81e756d3. The docstring now states the contract instead of naming a call site: an empty node axis yields (0, D, F, o) on every namespace, and it explains when that shape is reachable. It no longer goes stale if the caller moves.

This branch does not test the dpmodel lowering weight gradient: the expanded weight passed to _degree_batched_matmul is detached, and the assertions after backward() only inspect coeff_dp.grad. Consequently the module-level claim that both backends are pinned for values and gradients, and the round-2 statement that both lowerings cover input plus weight gradients, are stronger than the actual test.
I independently checked the missing case and the current implementation matches the einsum reference, with a maximum weight-gradient error of about 3.6e-15; this is a regression-coverage gap, not evidence of a current numerical bug. Please keep a leaf copy of the original per-degree parameter requiring gradients, apply index_select to it, and compare that leaf weight gradient with grad_w_mod after the dpmodel helper backward.

Valid — the test was forward-only. Fixed in 81e756d3: the dp branch now runs on a leaf copy of the pt module's weight (weight_dp = pt_mod.weight.detach().clone().requires_grad_(True)), backprops the same scalar, and compares weight_dp.grad against the pt module's weight gradient at rtol/atol 1e-12. So the frame-mixer lowering is now pinned on the backward by value, not only by tracing.

This PR changes the dpmodel LoRASO3.call contraction, but no existing test executes this implementation. source/tests/common/dpmodel/test_dpa4_lora.py only checks adapter injection and trainability, while TestLoRASO3Adapter exercises the separate pt implementation. A shape or algebra regression in this changed path would therefore be unobserved.
I checked the current code independently with n_focus=2 and a nonzero B_by_l; its forward matches einsum("ndfi,difo->ndfo") exactly, so this is a coverage gap rather than evidence of a current numerical error. Please add a direct dpmodel LoRASO3.call regression for n_focus=1 and 2, set B_by_l nonzero so the adapter delta participates, and compare NumPy and Torch array-namespace results with the einsum contract.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Agreed, LoRASO3 had no value-level coverage of the rewritten contraction. Added test_lora_so3_call_matches_einsum_contract in 81e756d3: it sets a nonzero B_by_l (a fresh adapter is zero-initialized, so with the default weights the test would have been vacuous), builds the reference by hand — delta = (B @ A)^T * scaling, folded into the weight, expanded by expand_index, then einsum("ndfi,difo->ndfo") — and compares call() against it on both the numpy and torch namespaces, for n_focus 1 and 2, at rtol/atol 1e-12.
…ly invariant - so3.py: replace the benchmark anecdote with the structural rationale for batching over (D, F) instead of broadcasting the weight over the node axis. - frame-mixer tests: state the empty-batch contract without referring to a transient call site, and compare the dp lowering's weight gradient against the pt module's (was forward-only). - add test_lora_so3_call_matches_einsum_contract: pins LoRASO3.call against the explicit einsum reference on both the numpy and torch namespaces. - state the auto_wrapped_class invariant once in its docstring; the four call sites now reference it in one line each.

@OutisLi thanks — all six addressed, code and tests in On the two non-inline points: Stale title and description. Retitled to "perf(dpa4): batch the SO3/grid contractions over (D,F); keep use_amp through pt_expt assembly" and rewrote the body to the design that is actually in the diff:
Duplicated comments. The invariant is now stated once, in the Tests run locally: |
Conflict in deepmd/pt_expt/model/get_model.py: master (deepmodeling#5964) removed _compose_bridging in favour of the canonical linear_ener route, so the branch-side edit to that function is obsolete -- took master's deletion. The new route regressed this branch's use_amp contract, caught by TestUseAmpSurvivesAssembly: get_linear_atomic_model hardcoded the dpmodel InnerPotential/LinearEnergy atomic classes, so pt_expt's composition was a raw dpmodel instance that LinearEnergyModel(atomic_model_=...) had to convert -- and conversion round-trips through deserialize(serialize()), which keeps only the portable record. Added inner_potential_model and linear_atomic_model to the backend-class injection the factory already does for atomic_model/pairtab_model/zbl_model, and pt_expt now passes its wrapped classes, so the composition is assembled from backend-native children with no conversion.

Users reported that compiled DPA4 training runs ~2x slower on
pt_exptthan onpt. This PR is the result of chasing that: a performance bug in how the SO3 contractions were lowered, and a correctness bug where a configureduse_amp: falsewas lost whilept_exptassembled the model.Changes
1. Weight broadcast across the node axis (
so3.py,lora.py,grid_net.py)matmul(x[..., None, :], weight[None, ...])makes the node countNthe matmul BATCH, so matmul broadcasts the weight to(N, D, F, Cin, Cout)and autograd then reduces that whole expanded gradient (ExpandBackward0) back to the parameter shape. At the water example's sizes a 165 K-element weight expanded to 191 M elements (~0.8 GB) per call, and the reduce was the single costliest kernel of a training step (45.6 ms, 3x per step).The fix batches the contraction over the small
(D, F)axes soNstays the GEMM ROW dimension and the weight is used in place. Micro-benchmark, fwd+bwd at the real shapes: 16.48 ms -> 1.09 ms (15x).Two lookalike sites in
projection.pyare deliberately NOT changed: their operands arerequires_grad=Falsebuffers, so no backward reduce exists. Verified rather than assumed.2. The same lowering for the frame mixers (
_degree_batched_matmul)Review found the
FrameContract/FrameExpandmixers still on the broadcast spelling. They now share one helper,_degree_batched_matmul, written identically on the dpmodel side (dpmodel/descriptor/dpa4_nn/grid_net.py) and the pt side (pt/model/descriptor/sezm_nn/grid_net.py). Because it does no reshape, an empty node axis (N == 0) flows through unchanged instead of hitting a reshape error — pinned by a test.3.
use_ampwas lost duringpt_exptmodel assembly (correctness)use_ampis a training-runtime policy, not model state, so it stays OUT of the portable serialization record (this is the #5963 position, and the jax deserializer actively rejects records carryinguse_amp: true). The bug was elsewhere:pt_exptassembled its model by converting an already-populated dpmodel instance, and that conversion round-trips the component throughdeserialize(serialize()). Anything that is deliberately not in the portable record —use_ampamong it — was therefore dropped, and training silently ran under bfloat16 autocast even when the input configureduse_amp: false.The fix is at the assembly boundary, not in the record:
pt_exptnow constructs the wrapped class directly (auto_wrapped_class(...)inmake_model.py,get_model.py, and the bridging composition path), so a live constructor-supplied component keeps its runtime state. The rule is stated once, in theauto_wrapped_classdocstring; the call sites reference it.An earlier revision of this PR instead added
use_amptoserialize(). That was reverted in review — it put a runtime knob into the portable record and would have broken the jax contract.Also removed in review: an
enable_tf32/DP_TF32_INFERimplementation forpt_expt. It contributes nothing to the speedup measured below (the benchmark card has no TF32 silicon), and #5958 owns thept_expttraining-runtime alignment — including the documented position thatpt_exptalways runs at"highest"matmul precision.pt_expttherefore keeps master's warn-and-ignore behavior forenable_tf32.Benchmark
DPA4 water example (
examples/water/dpa4), one Tesla T4, torch 2.11, fp32 (use_amp: false), batch size 6. Steady-state seconds per training step, obtained by differencing the wall time of a 33-step and a 3-step run of the same config, which cancels every one-time cost (import, data load, statistics,torch.compile/ make_fx lowering). All five arms were measured in one session on the same machine; run-to-run variation is about 2-3%.Provenance: measured at
ae720432b, the head at which this PR was opened — i.e. BEFORE the review changes (change 2, the frame-mixer lowering, and change 3's move fromserialize()to the assembly boundary). Change 1, which is where the entire speedup comes from, is unmodified since. The numbers have not been re-measured on the current head; a re-run is pending and I will post it rather than silently reuse these.pt(reference)pt_exptat masterpt_exptatae720432bThis reproduces the reported issue at master —
pt_exptcompiled was 3.0x slower thanptcompiled, and even slower than its own eager path, because the broadcast-weight contraction lowers to worse code under inductor than under eager cuBLAS. After the fixpt_exptis at parity withpt: eager within 3.4%, compiled within measurement noise.Known limitations
test_dpa4_frame_mixers.pycompares_degree_batched_matmul's weight gradient against the pt module's at rtol/atol 1e-12. The rewritten SO3 and LoRA contractions are pinned on the forward against an expliciteinsumreference (rtol/atol 1e-12, numpy and torch namespaces); their backward is still exercised only by tracing, not compared by value.pt/pt_exptTF32 policy gap remains open. On Ampere+ cardsptruns training matmuls under TF32 (enable_tf32, defaultTrue) whilept_exptignores the key with a warning; the two backends are not speed-comparable there. Deferred to the feat(pt_expt): align the training runtime with pt #5958 training-runtime series.ptis not stable across sessions. An earlier session measuredpt_exptcompiled 10.8% slower thanptcompiled; the benchmark above measured it 1.7% faster. Both are within a couple of run-to-run standard deviations, so I treat compiled as at parity and the earlier gap as unconfirmed.7518a417c->01c58e665->75459610a->504bb2430->157444204): a matmul spelling introduced, reverted, reintroduced, and finally restored to master's line. The site is byte-identical to master in the final diff. The degenerate GEMM that profiling found there existed only on this branch, so it is not a fix — I have left the commits rather than rewriting pushed history, and would squash them on request.check_compile_torch_version. Compiled DPA4 training is therefore impossible on V100 with official wheels; T4 (CC 7.5) is the oldest card that works.Tests
