vllm.models.minimax_m3.amd.ops.nvfp4_sparse_decode.host

Launch wrapper of the FlyDSL NVFP4 sparse decode.

Functions:

• decode_splits –

  Splits of a row's blocks.

• minimax_m3_nvfp4_sparse_decode_fly –

  Sparse decode attention over the NVFP4 K/V pages.

_query_xcd_count(device_index)

The device's XCD count, or zero when HIP cannot report it.

decode_splits(num_rows, num_blocks, cus)

Splits of a row's blocks.

The kernel is VALU-bound, so the cost model is rounds of workgroups per CU times blocks per split plus about one block of fixed cost; the fewest splits among the minima, each split at least two blocks.
