charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The non-uniform-stride batch loop in gemm_and_bias() called rocBLAS directly (bypassing the naive_gemm wrapper that was patched earlier) and only handled float32/float64 — bfloat16 and float16 matmuls silently did nothing, leaving the output buffer uninitialized. This caused non-deterministic SDPA results for any GQA model (where n_q_heads != n_kv_heads) at sequence lengths >= 4, with progressively worse corruption (NaN/Inf at L >= 7). The SDPA fallback decomposition reshapes Q via unflatten and K/V via expand_dims for GQA broadcasting, which produces non-uniform batch strides that hit this code path. Fix: always use naive_gemm_with_offset for the non-uniform-stride batch loop, matching the approach already used by the single-GEMM and strided-batched paths. --- mlx/backend/rocm/matmul.cpp | 122 +++++++++--------------------------- 1 file changed, 28 insertions(+), 94 deletions(-) diff --git a/mlx/backend/rocm/matmul.cpp b/mlx/backend/rocm/matmul.cpp index 2cb29e78d6..33b1479c18 100644 --- a/mlx/backend/rocm/matmul.cpp +++ b/mlx/backend/rocm/matmul.cpp @@ -472,102 +472,36 @@ void gemm_and_bias( beta); } } else { - // Fallback: loop over batches for non-uniform strides - if (use_rocblas) { - for (int64_t batch = 0; batch < batch_count; ++batch) { - int64_t a_offset = 0, b_offset = 0; - int64_t batch_idx = batch; - for (int i = batch_shape.size() - 1; i >= 0; --i) { - int64_t idx = batch_idx % batch_shape[i]; - batch_idx /= batch_shape[i]; - a_offset += idx * a_batch_strides[i]; - b_offset += idx * b_batch_strides[i]; - } - - encoder.launch_kernel( - [&, a_offset, b_offset, batch](hipStream_t stream) { - auto& device = encoder.device(); - rocblas_handle handle = device.get_rocblas_handle(); - rocblas_set_stream(handle, stream); - - rocblas_operation trans_a = b_transposed - ? rocblas_operation_none - : rocblas_operation_transpose; - rocblas_operation trans_b = a_transposed - ? rocblas_operation_none - : rocblas_operation_transpose; - - float alpha_f = alpha, beta_f = beta; - - if (a.dtype() == float32) { - rocblas_sgemm( - handle, - trans_a, - trans_b, - N, - M, - K, - &alpha_f, - b.data() + b_offset, - b_transposed ?

Each wave32 handles a 16x16 output tile, dequantizing 4-bit weights into shared memory and using rocwmma::mma_sync for the reduction. Enabled for gfx11 (RDNA 3/3.5) and gfx12 (RDNA 4) when M >= 16 and dimensions are 16-aligned. Falls back to scalar kernel otherwise. Guarded by ROCM_HAS_WMMA macro so gfx9/gfx10 builds are unaffected. Also restores hipExtMallocWithFlags as primary allocator for APU (reverts hipMallocManaged experiment — fine-grained coherent gives better GPU kernel bandwidth).

New hipblaslt_gemm() and hipblaslt_gemm_batched() functions with: - Per-device handle cache (thread-safe, lazily initialized) - Algorithm heuristic selection (best-of-1 from hipBLASLt) - RAII guards for all descriptor types - Persistent workspace allocation (up to 32MB, grown as needed) - fp32 accumulation for bf16/fp16 inputs matmul.cpp tries hipBLASLt first for bf16/fp16, falls back to rocBLAS silently on failure. Float32/64 GEMMs unchanged. --- mlx/backend/rocm/CMakeLists.txt | 12 +- mlx/backend/rocm/gemms/hipblaslt_gemm.cpp | 500 ++++++++++++++++++++++ mlx/backend/rocm/gemms/hipblaslt_gemm.h | 56 +++ mlx/backend/rocm/matmul.cpp | 58 +++ 4 files changed, 623 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) create mode 100644 mlx/backend/rocm/gemms/hipblaslt_gemm.cpp create mode 100644 mlx/backend/rocm/gemms/hipblaslt_gemm.h diff --git a/mlx/backend/rocm/CMakeLists.txt b/mlx/backend/rocm/CMakeLists.txt index 385fc1f710..1be84641bb 100644 --- a/mlx/backend/rocm/CMakeLists.txt +++ b/mlx/backend/rocm/CMakeLists.txt @@ -236,7 +236,8 @@ target_sources( ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/utils.cpp ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/worker.cpp ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/conv/conv.cpp - ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/gemms/rocblas_gemm.cpp) + ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/gemms/rocblas_gemm.cpp + ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/gemms/hipblaslt_gemm.cpp) target_compile_definitions(mlx PRIVATE MLX_USE_ROCM) @@ -272,16 +273,21 @@ find_library(AMDHIP64_LIB amdhip64 PATHS ${ROCM_PATH}/lib /opt/rocm/lib find_library(HIPRTC_LIB hiprtc PATHS ${ROCM_PATH}/lib /opt/rocm/lib /opt/rocm-6.0.0/lib) +# Find hipBLASLt library (optimized GEMM for half-precision) +find_library(HIPBLASLT_LIB hipblaslt PATHS ${ROCM_PATH}/lib /opt/rocm/lib + /opt/rocm-6.0.0/lib) + message( STATUS - "ROCm libraries: rocblas=${ROCBLAS_LIB}, hiprand=${HIPRAND_LIB}, amdhip64=${AMDHIP64_LIB}, hiprtc=${HIPRTC_LIB}" + "ROCm libraries: rocblas=${ROCBLAS_LIB}, hiprand=${HIPRAND_LIB}, amdhip64=${AMDHIP64_LIB}, hiprtc=${HIPRTC_LIB}, hipblaslt=${HIPBLASLT_LIB}" ) # Link the static library and ROCm libraries to mlx We link directly to the .so # files instead of using CMake targets to avoid propagating compile options like # -x hip target_link_libraries(mlx PRIVATE ${HIP_STATIC_LIB} ${AMDHIP64_LIB} - ${ROCBLAS_LIB} ${HIPRAND_LIB} ${HIPRTC_LIB}) + ${ROCBLAS_LIB} ${HIPRAND_LIB} ${HIPRTC_LIB} + ${HIPBLASLT_LIB}) # Include ROCm headers for mlx C++ files Get the HIP include directory from the # hip package diff --git a/mlx/backend/rocm/gemms/hipblaslt_gemm.cpp b/mlx/backend/rocm/gemms/hipblaslt_gemm.cpp new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..cef70dd1f1 --- /dev/null +++ b/mlx/backend/rocm/gemms/hipblaslt_gemm.cpp @@ -0,0 +1,500 @@ +// Copyright © 2025 Apple Inc. + +#include "mlx/backend/rocm/gemms/hipblaslt_gemm.h" +#include "mlx/backend/rocm/device.h" +#include "mlx/backend/rocm/kernel_utils.hpp" + +#include +#include + +#include +#include +#include + +namespace mlx::core::rocm { + +namespace { + +// Maximum workspace size for hipBLASLt algorithms (32 MB). +// hipBLASLt may request scratch memory for certain algorithm choices. +constexpr size_t kMaxWorkspaceBytes = 32u * 1024u * 1024u; + +// Per-device hipBLASLt handle cache.
