Detailed Description

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TComputePrecision, KvCachePolicy TKvPolicy = NoKvCompression>
requires PrecisionSupportedOnDevice<TComputePrecision, TDeviceType>
class Mila::Dnn::GroupedQueryAttention< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision, TKvPolicy >

Grouped-Query Attention module that accepts concatenated QKV input.

GQA generalises MHA by allowing num_kv_heads < num_heads. Each K/V head is shared by a group of (num_heads / num_kv_heads) Q heads, reducing KV cache memory and bandwidth during inference.

The module requires a single input tensor in model-layout containing concatenated Q, K and V along the feature axis:

input shape == [B, T, (num_heads + 2 * num_kv_heads) * head_dim] output shape == [B, T, model_dim] (model_dim = num_heads * head_dim)

The backend compute implementation (registered as "GroupedQueryAttentionOp") must accept this layout and produce the output above.

KV-cache inference is an optional backend capability. After build(), supportsKVCache() indicates whether the underlying operation implements both IPositionalUnaryOp (prefill/decode dispatch) and IKVCacheLifecycle (cache init/reset). Both pointers are resolved once at build time.

The cache self-initializes on the first prefill/forward; resetKVCache() is the public hook the owning decoder layer / transformer drives to start a new generation session.

REVIEW: resetKVCache() is public (initialization stays internal to prefill). When TransformerBase<> is introduced as the common base for GptTransformer, LlamaTransformer, MistralTransformer etc., revisit whether it should become private with 'friend class TransformerBase<TDeviceType, TPrecision>' to enforce that only the generate() orchestration path may manage the KV cache lifecycle.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ GroupedQueryAttention()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TComputePrecision, KvCachePolicy TKvPolicy = NoKvCompression>

Mila::Dnn::GroupedQueryAttention< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision, TKvPolicy >::GroupedQueryAttention	(	const std::string &	name,
		const GqaConfig &	config,
		std::optional< DeviceId >	device_id = std::nullopt )

inlineexplicit

Construct a GroupedQueryAttention component.

Parameters

name	Component name identifier (mandatory).
config	GQA configuration (model_dim, num_heads, num_kv_heads).
device_id	Optional DeviceId to create an owned ExecutionContext (standalone / unit-test mode).

Member Function Documentation

◆ backward()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TComputePrecision, KvCachePolicy TKvPolicy = NoKvCompression>

TensorType & Mila::Dnn::GroupedQueryAttention< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision, TKvPolicy >::backward	(	const TensorType &	input,
		const TensorType &	output_grad )

inline

Run backward pass and return the component-owned input-gradient tensor.

Parameters

input	Concatenated QKV input tensor used in forward.
output_grad	Gradient w.r.t. the module output.

Returns: Reference to component-owned TensorType containing the input gradient.

◆ decode()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TComputePrecision, KvCachePolicy TKvPolicy = NoKvCompression>

TensorType & Mila::Dnn::GroupedQueryAttention< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision, TKvPolicy >::decode	(	const TensorType &	q,
		const TensorType &	k,
		const TensorType &	v,
		dim_t	position_offset )

inline

Inference-only single-token decode pass.

When the backend implements IPositionalUnaryOp and the cache has been populated by a prior forward() call, uses the fast O(n) KV cache path. When the backend does not support positional dispatch, falls back to forward(). The caller never needs to know which path was taken.

Precondition: forward() must have been called at least once to populate the KV cache before decode() is called.

Parameters

q	Query tensor [B, 1, Q * head_dim].
k	Key tensor [B, 1, KV * head_dim].
v	Value tensor [B, 1, KV * head_dim].
position_offset	Absolute position of the token (0-based).

Returns: Reference to component-owned single-token output tensor.

◆ forward()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TComputePrecision, KvCachePolicy TKvPolicy = NoKvCompression>

TensorType & Mila::Dnn::GroupedQueryAttention< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision, TKvPolicy >::forward ( const TensorType & input )

inline

Standard forward pass.

Always available regardless of backend. When the backend supports KV caching, the first forward() call initialises and populates the cache (prefill with position_offset=0). When called again after decode() steps, it automatically resets the cache and begins a new prefill session – no explicit session management required by callers.

Parameters

input Concatenated QKV input [B, T, (Q + 2*KV) * head_dim].

Returns: Reference to component-owned output tensor [B, T, model_dim].

◆ getDeviceId()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TComputePrecision, KvCachePolicy TKvPolicy = NoKvCompression>

DeviceId Mila::Dnn::GroupedQueryAttention< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision, TKvPolicy >::getDeviceId ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Get the compute device id associated with this component.

Must return the device on which parameters and operations execute.

Implements Mila::Dnn::Component< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision >.

◆ getGradients()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TComputePrecision, KvCachePolicy TKvPolicy = NoKvCompression>

std::vector< ITensor * > Mila::Dnn::GroupedQueryAttention< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision, TKvPolicy >::getGradients ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Return non-owning pointers to parameter gradient tensors.

Gradient buffers are allocated only when the component is built in training mode, so a component built for inference returns an empty vector. Stateless components return empty in either mode. This is the accessor counterpart to getParameters() and does not throw on mode.

Returns: Vector of gradient pointers; empty when built for inference.

Exceptions

std::runtime_error if called before the component has been built.

Implements Mila::Dnn::Component< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision >.

◆ getMemoryStats()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TComputePrecision, KvCachePolicy TKvPolicy = NoKvCompression>

MemoryStats Mila::Dnn::GroupedQueryAttention< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision, TKvPolicy >::getMemoryStats ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Return the current memory allocation breakdown for this component.

Reflects allocations at the moment of the call. The returned stats naturally track the component lifecycle:

After construction – nothing; construction allocates none After build( Inference ) – parameters + T=1 state buffers After build( Training ) – parameters + T=full state buffers After setTrainingMode( Train ) – parameters + state + gradients

For CompositeComponent and Network, the returned stats are the recursive aggregate of all child components.

May be called at any time – no lifecycle preconditions.

Returns: MemoryStats reflecting current allocations.

Implements Mila::Dnn::Component< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision >.

◆ getParameters()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TComputePrecision, KvCachePolicy TKvPolicy = NoKvCompression>

std::vector< ITensor * > Mila::Dnn::GroupedQueryAttention< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision, TKvPolicy >::getParameters ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Return non-owning pointers to parameter tensors.

The returned tensor pointers remain valid for the lifetime of the component. Order should be canonical (weights before biases).

Implements Mila::Dnn::Component< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision >.

◆ getRequiredMemory()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TComputePrecision, KvCachePolicy TKvPolicy = NoKvCompression>

MemoryStats Mila::Dnn::GroupedQueryAttention< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision, TKvPolicy >::getRequiredMemory ( const BuildContext & context ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

What onBuilding() would allocate for this context, without allocating.

The KV cache – the dominant, context-scaling term – is reported by the operation, which is where it is allocated. See Specifications/MemoryFootprint.md.

Reimplemented from Mila::Dnn::Component< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision >.

◆ getType()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TComputePrecision, KvCachePolicy TKvPolicy = NoKvCompression>

const ComponentType Mila::Dnn::GroupedQueryAttention< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision, TKvPolicy >::getType ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Get the component type identifier.

Used for serialization and runtime type identification.

Returns: Component type enum value.

Implements Mila::Dnn::Component< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision >.

◆ installSharedOutput()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TComputePrecision, KvCachePolicy TKvPolicy = NoKvCompression>

void Mila::Dnn::GroupedQueryAttention< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision, TKvPolicy >::installSharedOutput ( std::shared_ptr< TensorType > output )

inline

Install a shared prefill-output slot (activation pooling).

Must be called before build(): onBuilding then skips the prefill output self-allocation after validating the slot's storage covers the build shape; prefill() already always returns a shape-adjusted view. The tiny per-token decode output (decode_output_) stays component-owned. Mirrors Linear::installSharedWeight; self-allocation remains the default. The slot is owned and memory-accounted by the installer.

◆ onBuilding()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TComputePrecision, KvCachePolicy TKvPolicy = NoKvCompression>

void Mila::Dnn::GroupedQueryAttention< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision, TKvPolicy >::onBuilding ( const BuildContext & context )

inlineoverrideprotectedvirtual

Hook invoked by build() to allocate component buffers.

Receives the stored BuildContext. Implementations must use config.allocationSeqLen() when sizing output buffers – this is the single call that makes Inference and Training allocate the correct buffer sizes automatically without per-component logic.

// Example -- Linear component:
shape_t out_shape =
{
    config.batchSize(),
    config.allocationSeqLen(),   // 1 for Inference, T for Training
    config_.getOutputFeatures()
};
output_ = std::make_unique<TensorType>( device, out_shape,
    this->getName() + ".output" );

The default implementation forwards to the legacy onBuilding( const shape_t& ) overload for backwards compatibility. New components should override this overload directly.

Note: Do not call build() or onBuilding() from within this hook.; Implementations should either succeed fully or leave no partial state, as a failed build() may be retried.

Takes the build-time configuration; use its allocationSeqLen() to obtain the correct output buffer sequence dimension.

Reimplemented from Mila::Dnn::Component< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision >.

◆ onExecutionContextSet()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TComputePrecision, KvCachePolicy TKvPolicy = NoKvCompression>

void Mila::Dnn::GroupedQueryAttention< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision, TKvPolicy >::onExecutionContextSet ( )

inlineoverrideprotectedvirtual

Lifecycle hook: Called immediately after ExecutionContext is set.

Override this to perform initialization that requires a valid ExecutionContext. At the time this is called, getExecutionContext() is guaranteed to return a valid context.

Common uses:

Composite components: Create and configure child components.
Device resource allocation: Query device capabilities.

Default implementation does nothing.

Exceptions

Any	exception thrown will cause setExecutionContext() to fail and restore the component to a "context not set" state.

Reimplemented from Mila::Dnn::Component< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision >.

◆ onTrainingModeChanging()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TComputePrecision, KvCachePolicy TKvPolicy = NoKvCompression>

void Mila::Dnn::GroupedQueryAttention< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision, TKvPolicy >::onTrainingModeChanging ( TrainingMode training_mode )

inlineoverrideprotectedvirtual

Hook called before TrainingMode transitions.

Called by setTrainingMode() after validation and lock acquisition, before the internal state is updated. Derived classes override to respond to the transition – e.g. zeroing gradient buffers on transition to Eval, or re-enabling dropout on transition to Training.

The default implementation is a no-op.

Takes the incoming TrainingMode.

Reimplemented from Mila::Dnn::Component< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision >.

◆ parameterCount()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TComputePrecision, KvCachePolicy TKvPolicy = NoKvCompression>

dim_t Mila::Dnn::GroupedQueryAttention< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision, TKvPolicy >::parameterCount ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Return number of trainable parameters.

For leaf components this is the element count of owned parameter tensors. CompositeComponent and Network implementations should return the recursive aggregate across all children.

Implements Mila::Dnn::Component< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision >.

◆ prefill()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TComputePrecision, KvCachePolicy TKvPolicy = NoKvCompression>

TensorType & Mila::Dnn::GroupedQueryAttention< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision, TKvPolicy >::prefill	(	const TensorType &	q,
		const TensorType &	k,
		const TensorType &	v,
		dim_t	position_offset )

inline

Chunked prefill pass with explicit position offset.

Called by the transformer block during chunked prefill. The KV cache must already be initialized (via onBuilding or forward()).

Parameters

q	Query tensor [B, T_chunk, Q * head_dim].
k	Key tensor [B, T_chunk, KV * head_dim].
v	Value tensor [B, T_chunk, KV * head_dim].
position_offset	Absolute position of the first token in this chunk.

Returns: Reference to component-owned output tensor.

◆ resetKVCache()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TComputePrecision, KvCachePolicy TKvPolicy = NoKvCompression>

void Mila::Dnn::GroupedQueryAttention< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision, TKvPolicy >::resetKVCache ( )

inline

Reset the KV cache for a new generation session.

Drops any active decode state so the next prefill starts a fresh sequence. A no-op on backends without KV-cache support, and harmless when no decode session is active.

◆ rewindKvCache()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TComputePrecision, KvCachePolicy TKvPolicy = NoKvCompression>

bool Mila::Dnn::GroupedQueryAttention< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision, TKvPolicy >::rewindKvCache ( dim_t position )

inline

Rewind the cache fill position for prompt-prefix reuse (PromptCaching.md).

Unlike resetKVCache() the cache session stays live: initialization state and device contents are untouched, and positions [0, position) remain valid for a subsequent prefillFrom.

Returns: true when the underlying operation accepted the rewind.

◆ save_()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TComputePrecision, KvCachePolicy TKvPolicy = NoKvCompression>

void Mila::Dnn::GroupedQueryAttention< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision, TKvPolicy >::save_	(	ModelArchive &	,
		SerializationMode	) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Implements Mila::Dnn::Component< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision >.

◆ setState()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TComputePrecision, KvCachePolicy TKvPolicy = NoKvCompression>

void Mila::Dnn::GroupedQueryAttention< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision, TKvPolicy >::setState ( const GqaState & state )

inline

Forward the shared transient workspace to the underlying operation.

Must be called after build() and before prefill() or decode(). A no-op on backends that do not implement setState (e.g. CPU stub).

Parameters

state Non-owning pointers to the shared GQA scratch tensors.

◆ setUseFlashDecode()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TComputePrecision, KvCachePolicy TKvPolicy = NoKvCompression>

void Mila::Dnn::GroupedQueryAttention< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision, TKvPolicy >::setUseFlashDecode ( bool enabled )

inline

Route the BF16 decode through the fused decode-attention kernel.

Only the CUDA BF16 ops honor this; other backends, FP32, and unsupported geometries keep the cuBLASLt decode pipeline. Unlike setUseFlashPrefill there is no workspace-width coupling – the fused path draws its split-K scratch from the shared execution-context buffer at decode time.

◆ setUseFlashPrefill()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TComputePrecision, KvCachePolicy TKvPolicy = NoKvCompression>

void Mila::Dnn::GroupedQueryAttention< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision, TKvPolicy >::setUseFlashPrefill ( bool enabled )

inline

Route the BF16 prefill through the fused FlashAttention kernel.

Only the CUDA BF16 ops honor this – the unbounded/global kernel and the bounded sliding-window ring variant; other backends and FP32 ignore it. The transformer couples this to the shared preatt/att workspace width (flash on -> the O(chunk x T_ctx) score buffer is reclaimed), so it must be set consistently with that sizing – a narrow workspace with flash off would overflow. See GqaFlashAttention.md 5.6.

◆ supportsKVCache()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TComputePrecision, KvCachePolicy TKvPolicy = NoKvCompression>

bool Mila::Dnn::GroupedQueryAttention< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision, TKvPolicy >::supportsKVCache ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Returns true when the underlying operation implements both IPositionalUnaryOp and IKVCacheLifecycle.

Resolved once at build time. CPU backends return false; CUDA backends return true when CudaGroupedQueryAttentionOp is in use.

◆ synchronize()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TComputePrecision, KvCachePolicy TKvPolicy = NoKvCompression>

void Mila::Dnn::GroupedQueryAttention< TDeviceType, TComputePrecision, TKvPolicy >::synchronize ( )
