Description

This PR adds a hierarchical implementation of context parallelism to attention. It uses A2A communications in low-level CP groups (e.g., via NVLink), and P2P communications in high-level CP groups (e.g., via IBLink). For more details, please refer to LongVILA and USP.

This implementation supports:

  • backends: FusedAttention, FlashAttention
  • dtype: BF16/FP16 (both backends), FP8 (FusedAttention only)
  • mask_type: causal, no_mask
  • attention types: MHA, MQA/GQA
  • qkv_format: sbhd, bshd
  • bias type: no_bias

Type of change

  • Documentation change (change only to the documentation, either a fix or a new content)
  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Infra/Build change
  • Code refractor

Checklist:

  • I have read and followed the contributing guidelines
  • The functionality is complete
  • I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas
  • I have made corresponding changes to the documentation
  • My changes generate no new warnings
  • I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works
  • New and existing unit tests pass locally with my changes
