v0.1.6

0.1.6 (2024-08-27)

SM75 Support

Starting from 0.1.6, our pre-built wheels include experimental support sm75 (Turing architecture GPUs such as Tesla T4, Quadro RTX 6000 and RTX 2080).

API Changes

plan/run

Since 0.1.6 on, begin_forward/forward/end_forward APIs are replaced with the new plan/run API.

• forward is renamed to run, which is more precise and consistent with the naming convention of cutlass's python API.
• begin_forward is renamed to plan, which is consistent with the naming convention of nvmath API.
• end_forward is deprecated and has no effect after this PR.

There is some slight difference between the old forward and the new run API:

• All extra arguments such as causal and logits_soft_cap will be provided in plan (previously begin_forward) API, and cached until next plan call, and we only need to provide query and KV-Cache tensors in run API.

The old begin_forward/forward/end_forward APIs are still functional, but we will gradually deprecate them in future releases.

Check #466 for more details.

MultiLevelCascadeAttentionWrapper

Since 0.1.6 on, we introduce a new MultiLevelCascadeAttentionWrapper API for cascade inference,
which supports multi-level cascade inference where all levels' KV-Cache can be managed in a unified Paged KV-Cache.

See documentation and tutorial on API usage and layout explaination.

The old BatchDecodeWithSharedPrefixPagedKVCacheWrapper and BatchPrefillWithSharedPrefixPagedKVCacheWrapper will be deprecated in future releases.

Features

• sm75 support (#448, #449)
• add MultiLevelCascadeAttentionWrapper API (#462) (1e37989)
• add accept num, emit num metric for ChainSpeculativeSampling (#450) (fa38b5e)
• support bmm fp8 (#469) (f1c0b68)

Refactor

• refactor: replace begin_forward/forward/end_forward with plan/run #466

Misc

• misc: improve error handling of sampling kernels (#456) (0dce178)

Performance Improvements

• slight optimization on f16->f8 fragment layout swizzling (#453) (0d61871)
• slight optimization on fragment layout swizzle (#458) (7c397cb)
• use persistent kernel for merging attention states (#459) (be6bf5b)
