/* * ============================================================================= * fused_softmax_topk_v2.cu — Optimized Version * * Improvements over v1: * 1. Warp-level top-K merge (avoids single-thread bottleneck) * 2. Vectorized memory loads (float4, 128-bit transactions) * 3. Reduced synchronization barriers * 4. Parallel final sort (bitonic network across warp) * 5. Optional single-pass online algorithm for very large V * * This version targets H100/A100 with focus on compute-bound workloads. * ============================================================================= */ #include #include #include // ============================================================================ // CONFIGURATION // ============================================================================ constexpr int BLOCK_THREADS = 256; constexpr int WARP_SIZE = 32; constexpr int WARPS_PER_BLOCK = 8; constexpr int LOCAL_K = 16; // ============================================================================ // §1 WARP-LEVEL PRIMITIVES // ============================================================================ __device__ __forceinline__ float warp_max(float val) { #pragma unroll for (int offset = 16; offset > 0; offset /= 2) val = fmaxf(val, __shfl_xor_sync(0xFFFFFFFF, val, offset)); return val; } __device__ __forceinline__ float warp_sum(float val) { #pragma unroll for (int offset = 16; offset > 0; offset /= 2) val += __shfl_xor_sync(0xFFFFFFFF, val, offset); return val; } // Warp-level top-K selection using shuffle-based tournament. // Each lane contributes LOCAL_K values.
