From 12cf818ac73c94ba0ce6cab5277706a9e4f77a53 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Debasis Mandal Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 14:00:42 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf(hip): adaptive 2D-grid row-split for act_and_mul kernels silu_and_mul / gelu / gelu_tanh launched one block per token, which underfills the GPU for small num_tokens (decode / small-batch serving) with large hidden dim, leaving HBM bandwidth idle. Output elements are independent, so split each row across blocks on gridDim.y (no atomics): blockIdx.x = token, blockIdx.y = column-tile. blocks_per_row is chosen host-side to oversubscribe the CU count by 2x only when num_tokens is below that threshold, so prefill (gridDim.y == 1) is byte-for-byte unchanged and the CUDA 1D-launch path is unaffected. Measured 1.16-1.39x on MI300X for large-d, small/medium-token shapes; flat elsewhere. The oversubscription factor past ~1x CU coverage is bandwidth-neutral (swept 1-32), so 2x is the minimal safe choice. The launch heuristic lives in one shared inline helper in activation.cuh called by both the AOT launcher and the JIT template (no drift), and CU count is queried via a new cached getMultiProcessorCount.
