- rename output pointer field o to o_ptr for consistency with q_ptr/k_ptr/v_ptr
- regroup AttentionParams fields by responsibility and fix misleading comments
- drop unused max_seq_len/total_q fields and paged decode max_seq_len arg
- drop redundant group_size param from decode launchers (computed from p)
- rename q_stride_* to q_*_stride to match mask stride convention
- rename mask_q_stride to mask_l_stride for consistent l-dim naming
- merge k/v and k_cache/v_cache into k_ptr/v_ptr; rename q to q_ptr
- KVSource policy selects contiguous vs paged mode at compile time
- fix scalar prefill head_dim=32 out-of-bounds via G=4 dispatch
- fix MMA decode 4D mask head indexing and invalid-row mask access
- add q_head/kv_head divisibility and head-dim contiguity checks
- validate split-KV scratch and decode out_buf layout in bindings
- set max dynamic shared memory for scalar decode D=256
- cover scalar prefill D=32 in pure C test
- merge AttentionParams and PagedAttentionParams into one struct
- add attn_kv_source.cuh with ContigKV/PagedKV addressing policies
- template prefill/decode kernels (MMA + scalar) on the KV policy, deleting the four duplicated attn_paged_*.cuh variants
- template dispatcher launchers on KV; single combine kernel
- verify: all correctness tests pass and SASS matches baseline (no perf regression)
- Thread a cudaStream_t through attn dispatchers onto torch's current stream
- Scope the device guard to the entry function so kernels run on tensor device
- DISPATCH_HEAD_DIM now forwards varargs so stream reaches each dispatch
- Parallelize CPU reference kernels with OpenMP (paged test 31s -> 7s)
- Merge decode/prefill standalone tests into attn_test.cu with correctness tables
- Drop bench error column (CPU ref too slow at large sizes)
- Update cuda_kernels.md for the merged test layout
- alloc_split_partials now uses torch::empty: the split kernel writes every slot it owns, so the per-call zeros/full memset was pure overhead (2 kernels per layer per step)
- decode split-KV MMA kernels now run a true multi-stage cp.async pipeline (wait_group<STAGES-1> instead of wait_group<0>), keeping STAGES-1 tile loads in flight; the old wait_group<0> serialized load and compute so deeper STAGES made no difference
- add a fallback path when ntiles < STAGES to avoid a race on the last tile
- 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
- Merge 3 duplicated dispatch blocks into single attn_dispatchers.cuh
- Merge compute_num_splits from attn_utils.cuh into dispatcher header
- All dim3 grid/block declarations and <<<>>> launches are single-line
- Production .cu files (35-42 loc) only handle torch wrapping + pybind11
- Test files include dispatcher header directly, removing all #ifndef ASTRAI_NO_MMA duplication
- Replace is_causal + causal_offset with unified causal_offset (-1 = off, >=0 = first Q pos)
- Causal and mask can now coexist (was mutually exclusive)
- Add stride-based addressing for Q/KV/O (layout-agnostic, zero-copy)
- Add layout param ("bhld"/"blhd") parsed in Python, passed as int to C++
- Support 2D [batch, kv_len] and 3D [batch, q_len, kv_len] mask
- Vectorize paged KV gather in Python fallback (was per-token Python loop)
- Extract shared helpers: compute_num_splits, alloc_split_partials, dispatch_head_dim
- Unify paged_decode entry via attn_pack_paged_params
- Update mma_softmax_tile for 3D mask with per-row qrow indexing
- Convert AttentionParams to a template struct supporting arbitrary types
- Rename attn_common.cuh -> attn_common.h (no CUDA-specific code remains)
- Include standard headers explicitly in each .cuh instead of via attn_common.cuh
- Allow .h files in csrc/ via .gitignore
- Rename all csrc/kernels/gqa_*.cuh/cu to attn_*, with _split_q / _split_kv
strategy suffix and optional _mma compute suffix
- Remove non-split MMA decode kernel, keep only split-KV path
- Convert scalar decode fallback to split-KV (o_part/ml_part + combine)
- Move combine kernel to attn_decode_split_kv.cuh (shared by both paths)
- Rename GQAParams to AttentionParams
- Update all C++ #include, PYBIND11, and Python extension references
