Description

calcMaxWorkspaceSize() in the MoE GEMM runner only added the FINALIZE-fusion epilogue workspace term to the computed max when sm_ == 90. On SM>=90 the autotuner can still select FINALIZE-fusion tactics, but their workspace requirement was excluded from the max-size calculation, so the workspace buffer could be sized too small for the tactic actually picked at runtime.

This widens the guard from sm_ == 90 to sm_ >= 90 so all SM>=90 architectures reserve the FINALIZE-fusion workspace in the max. Hopper behavior is unchanged.

Scope

Single hunk in cpp/tensorrt_llm/kernels/cutlass_kernels/moe_gemm/moe_gemm_template_dispatch.h. Arch-neutral fix — not Rubin-specific, applies to any SM>=90 target — but rides with the Rubin merge-back effort since it was found during that work.

Claim: bug fix, not a no-op — this changes the computed workspace size (increases it) whenever sm_ > 90 and a FINALIZE-fusion tactic is autotuned.

Blast radius

  • Hopper (sm_ == 90): unchanged, 90 >= 90 is still true, same code path.
  • Blackwell (sm_ >= 100, e.g. B200/GB200) and newer: now additionally reserves the FINALIZE-fusion workspace term when computing the max workspace size. This can only increase the computed max, never decrease it, so no under-allocation risk is introduced — it fixes an existing under-allocation risk instead.
  • Requesting both Hopper (H100) and Blackwell (B200/GB200) L0 stages to cover both branches of the guard.

Test coverage

No new test added. This is a single-comparator change with no test changes in the original fix either. Existing cpp/tests/unit_tests/kernels/mixtureOfExpertsTest.cu already exercises MoeGemmRunner::getWorkspaceSize() (which calls calcMaxWorkspaceSize()) as part of the MoE GEMM correctness suite across the CI SM matrix, so this path is covered by existing tests.

Checklist

  • DCO sign-off present
  • No jenkins/ files touched
  • No new/changed version pins
  • Single, minimal, reviewable hunk

Dev Engineer Review

  • Updated calcMaxWorkspaceSize() to include FINALIZE-fusion workspace requirements for all architectures with sm_ >= 90.
  • Preserved existing Hopper behavior.
  • Prevents workspace under-allocation on Blackwell and newer architectures.
  • No API, configuration, or error-handling changes.
  • Change is limited to the intended one-line architecture guard.

Verdict: sufficient.

QA Engineer Review

No test changes. Existing MoE GEMM tests cover this workspace-size path.

…M>=90 in the MoE autotuner

calcMaxWorkspaceSize() only accounted for the FINALIZE-fusion epilogue
workspace when sm_ == 90. On SM>=90 the autotuner can still select
FINALIZE-fusion tactics, but their workspace requirement was excluded
from the computed max, allowing the launcher to size the workspace
buffer too small for the tactic actually picked at runtime.

Widen the guard to sm_ >= 90 so Blackwell and newer architectures also
reserve the FINALIZE-fusion workspace in the max-size calculation.
Hopper (sm_ == 90) behavior is unchanged.

Name the FINALIZE-fusion SM threshold.

Line 991 embeds the unexplained literal 90. Define a constexpr such as kFinalizeFusionMinSm{90} and compare sm_ with that constant. This documents why SM90 and newer architectures use this workspace path.
