- deepen common-shape BF16 GEMV tuning with warp-row tiling for LLaMA/Qwen2/GPT-NeoX/OPT decode projections
- add fused BF16 up/gate SwiGLU CUDA primitive with ASTRAI_SWIGLU=0/1/auto dispatch
- keep the unfused linear backend as the default path; auto enables no shape until per-architecture checkpoint gates pass
- fall back to the linear/torch chain when kernels are absent, on CPU, in training, or outside supported M/K/dtype shapes
- add gemv/swiglu benchmark scripts, dispatch and parity tests, and kernel documentation
Benchmark: NVIDIA L20 (sm_89), CUDA 12.8, PyTorch 2.11.0+cu128, idle GPU. AstrAI 1B config (24 layers, hidden 1536, vocab 100000), BF16, prompt 128, 32 greedy decode tokens, CUDA graphs enabled, A/B in separate interleaved processes (3 rounds, 8 trials each, medians). Default vs ASTRAI_SWIGLU=1 per generate call: batch 1 134.8->129.1 ms (+4.44%), batch 2 136.2->130.9 ms (+4.06%), batch 4 145.5->140.3 ms (+3.66%). Greedy output identical at batch 1, differs at batch 2/4, so auto stays unfused by default; kernelless fallback verified bit-identical greedy.
- add decode-shape benchmark harness
- add bf16 GEMV CUDA primitive with head-dim generic kernel
- dispatch decode-time linear layers to gemv for M=1
- extend gemv coverage to small decode batches
- Add ParallelBuildExtension that dispatches each extension to a subprocess
- 4 extensions compile concurrently (3m34s → 1m1s on L20, ~3.5x faster)
- Default 8 workers, override with BUILD_PARALLEL=N
- CUDAExtension module names changed from astrai.extension.<name> to astrai.extension.lib.<name>
- Compiled .so files now land in astrai/extension/lib/ instead of alongside Python source
- loader.py imports from .lib.<name> subpackage
- Add astrai/extension/lib/__init__.py to make lib a proper package
- Separates compiled artifacts from Python source for cleaner directory structure
- Add cu128/cu130 build matrix to release workflow
- Parametrize Dockerfile and docker-compose with CUDA_TAG build arg
- Allow csrc/ and setup.py in docker context via .dockerignore
- Add nvcc/torch CUDA version mismatch preflight warning in setup.py
- Add cuda_toolkit_version() helper in csrc/build.py
- Use at::IntArrayRef explicitly to fix ATen overload ambiguity
- Guard kernels with CUDART_VERSION >= 11020 check
- Remove invalid [tool.pip] section from pyproject.toml
- centralize CXX_FLAGS/NVCC_FLAGS in csrc/build.py as single source
- add --use_fast_math, --ptxas-options=-O3,-v, --extra-device-vectorization
