Summary

  • mark nvfp4_nf3_hybrid MoE execution as unsafe for shared-expert
    auxiliary-stream overlap
  • keep the shared-expert GEMM on the main stream while either hybrid
    resident-grid implementation is active
  • add regression coverage across decode and prefill token counts

Why

#132 adds a per-kernel capability gate before shared
experts are scheduled on an auxiliary CUDA stream. That gate correctly handles
the generic B12X MoE method, paired with local-inference-lab/sparkinfer#47, but the custom
NvFp4Nf3HybridMoEMethod does not use the generic B12X launch plan. It therefore
inherits the base fallback, which permits overlap when no generic moe_kernel
is attached.

Both hybrid paths require exclusive resident-grid progress:

  • unified Grid188 decode uses a software grid barrier
  • the per-tier fused fallback also uses resident-grid barriers

Concurrent shared-expert work can occupy an SM needed by a barrier participant,
prevent the grid from making progress, and leave an asynchronous CUDA failure
that surfaces later in an unrelated operation. One observed incident surfaced
as CUBLAS_STATUS_INTERNAL_ERROR in an MLA BF16 projection; the incident was
non-reproducible, so this PR is intentionally a draft pending the GPU gates
below.

Scope and dependencies

This is a one-commit dependent follow-up to #132. It is
based directly on dev/gilded-gnosis so the diff does not duplicate that PR's
graph-channel, workspace-lane, or generic B12X capability changes. The override
becomes active when #132's scheduler hook is present. It also does not replace
local-inference-lab/sparkinfer#47; it supplies the missing conservative capability decision
for the separate hybrid quantizer.

Validation

Completed locally:

  • Python compilation
  • git diff --check
  • regression test covers token counts 1, 8, 256, and 3072

Pending target-GPU validation:

  • focused shared-expert, B12X MoE, and hybrid quantization tests
  • three uninterrupted cycles of the original needle/decode workload
  • unchanged container ID, StartedAt, and RestartCount
  • clean CUBLAS/Xid/illegal-access/watchdog/EngineDead/OOM/5xx audit
  • decode-throughput and KV-pool comparison

Files changed

  • vllm/model_executor/layers/quantization/nvfp4_nf3_hybrid.py
  • tests/quantization/test_nvfp4_nf3_hybrid.py

The complete change and its parametrized regression test were folded into #132 as commit 99695d4. Closing this dependent draft so the release has a single non-draft concurrency PR.
