From c32dba568574d945d6247f552d5ce9c1a948d7c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pekka Heikura Date: Thu, 28 May 2026 12:12:50 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] feat: Bf16 KV cache for hybrid GDN models (#27) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Default the CUDA hybrid GDN forward pass KV cache to bf16 (was fp32), halving cache VRAM on the 16 attention layers without touching arithmetic precision — bf16→fp32 promotion happens at the kernel read sites, fp32 accumulators throughout. SHARPI_KV_DTYPE=fp32 reverts. On Qwen3.6-27B-MTP at ctx=4096 the freed ~128 MiB admits one more dense FFN layer on GPU (22/64 vs 21/64), lifting --temp 0 decode 4.3 → 6.4 t/s. Output is bit-identical vs fp32 cache. Greedy first-token parity vs the CPU/llama.cpp baseline still holds on qwen35moe with bf16 active. New CUDA NVRTC kernels llm_kv_append_bf16 / llm_attention_bf16 mirror their fp32 counterparts; CudaBackend.Clear is now dtype-aware so it doesn't over-write the smaller bf16 buffers. New parity test CudaHybridGdnForwardPass_Qwen35Mtp_Bf16KvCache_GreedyMatchesFp32 asserts both top-1 match and a < 0.5 absolute logit gap on top-16.
