Question about the gennerated code of `WeightOnlyInt8Linear`

[feiyuvl]

I write a simple test to get the triton code of WeightOnlyInt8Linear，the test code is as follows:

import torch
import torch.nn as nn
import torch.nn.functional as F

class WeightOnlyInt8Linear(torch.nn.Module):
    __constants__ = ['in_features', 'out_features']
    in_features: int
    out_features: int
    weight: torch.Tensor

    def __init__(self, in_features: int, out_features: int, bias: bool = True,
                 device=None, dtype=None) -> None:
        factory_kwargs = {'device': device, 'dtype': dtype}
        super().__init__()
        self.in_features = in_features
        self.out_features = out_features
        self.register_buffer("weight", torch.randn(out_features, in_features).to(dtype=torch.int8))
        self.register_buffer("scales", torch.randn(out_features, dtype=torch.bfloat16))

    def forward(self, input: torch.Tensor) -> torch.Tensor:
        return F.linear(input, self.weight.to(dtype=input.dtype)) * self.scales

linear = WeightOnlyInt8Linear(4096, 8192)
linear.to(device='cuda', dtype=torch.bfloat16)
linear = torch.compile(linear.eval(), mode='reduce-overhead', fullgraph=True)

input = torch.randn(1, 4096, device='cuda').to(dtype=torch.bfloat16)
with torch.no_grad():
    linear(input)

I expect the generated code will fuse the weight convert (int8 ->bfloat6 ) to the gemv function. However I get the following code:

Weight convert kernel is not fused. The load of full bf16 weight after conversion will hurt the gemv performace badly. Is the generated code reasonable? or have I made some mistake?

[conway-abacus]

I was having trouble reproing the int8 speedup. didn't look into the generated code to verify, but turns out I needed the following

import torch._inductor.config
torch._inductor.config.coordinate_descent_tuning = True

can you try that?

[Chillee]

Yes, you need to add coordinate_descent_tuning to be True.

import torch
import torch.nn as nn
import torch.nn.functional as F

import torch._inductor.config
torch._inductor.config.coordinate_descent_tuning = True

D = 8192

def bench(f, name=None):
    import time
    from triton.testing import do_bench

    us_per_iter = do_bench(lambda: f())*1000
    print(f"{name}: {(1e6/us_per_iter) * D * D / 1e9} GB/s")

    return 0

class WeightOnlyInt8Linear(torch.nn.Module):
    __constants__ = ['in_features', 'out_features']
    in_features: int
    out_features: int
    weight: torch.Tensor

    def __init__(self, in_features: int, out_features: int, bias: bool = True,
                 device=None, dtype=None) -> None:
        factory_kwargs = {'device': device, 'dtype': dtype}
        super().__init__()
        self.in_features = in_features
        self.out_features = out_features
        self.register_buffer("weight", torch.randn(out_features, in_features).to(dtype=torch.int8))
        self.register_buffer("scales", torch.randn(out_features, dtype=dtype))

    def forward(self, input: torch.Tensor) -> torch.Tensor:
        return F.linear(input, self.weight.to(dtype=input.dtype)) * self.scales

linear = WeightOnlyInt8Linear(D, D)
compiled_linear = torch.compile(linear.eval(), fullgraph=True)

input = torch.randn(1, D, device='cuda').to(dtype=torch.bfloat16)

with torch.no_grad():
    bench(lambda: linear(input), "eager")
    bench(lambda: compiled_linear(input), "compiled")

[Chillee]

I think we can actually relax coordinate_descent_tuning, although we still need BS=1 restriction.

[feiyuvl]

@Chillee @conway-abacus Thank you, coordinate_descent_tuning=True generates the expected code.

[Chillee]

pytorch/pytorch#120954

This PR always turns on the decomposition.

[conway-abacus]

hey @Chillee any tips for generating fused kernel for BS > 1? is it related at all to pytorch/pytorch#127056
