amdgpu.buffer_atomic_rmw (triton::amdgpu::BufferAtomicRMWOp)

Atomic RMW op which reads, modifies, and writes to a scalar base pointer and a tensor offset

AMD Buffer atomic RMW operation. Buffer atomics are similar to normal atomics, but access global memory via a scalar base pointer and a tensor of offsets instead of a tensor of pointers. Similar to other buffer ops, the mask is a boolean vector that determines if a given element should be processed with the atomic RMW op. Elements with mask[i] == 0 are dropped (i.e., the atomic is not executed). Similar to TT_AtomicRMWOp: Buffer atomic RMW ops load data at $ptr, do $rmw_op with $val, and store result to $ptr with the specified memory semantics and scope. Atomic RMW ops return the pre-op value if used, otherwise the value is implicitly dropped. Stride is the distance between the beginning of contiguous memory chunks. When performing a RMW, the stride is the address difference between the first elements of each row in bytes. Compiler tries to obtain the stride when it converts to the buffer ops because it is important for optimizing the cache memory access.

AMD Buffer load operation. Buffer store is similar to a normal store but it accesses global memory via a scalar base pointer and a tensor of offsets instead of a tensor of pointers. The other fields are similar to a normal load, i.e., the mask is a boolean vector that determines if a given element should be read from memory, and other is the element that should be returned on lane i when mask[i] == 0. Stride is the distance between the beginning of contiguous memory chunks. When performing a load of a block, the stride is the address difference between the first elements of each row in bytes.

amdgpu.concat (triton::amdgpu::ConcatOp)

Concat operation

Syntax:

operation ::= `amdgpu.concat` $sources attr-dict `:` type($sources) `->` type($result)

The “concat” operation combines a list of source n-dimensional tensors into a single larger destination tensor.

All source tensors must have the same shape, element type, and encoding. The concatenation dimension is inferred from the source and destination shapes provided by the user. For example, two tensors of shape 64x128 can produce a destination shape of 128x128, indicating concatenation along dimension 0; or 64x256, indicating concatenation along dimension 1.

Generally, source tensors passed as op arguments can be arranged into the resulting shape in multiple ways. For example, given four tensors of shape 64x64: concat s0<64x64>, s1<64x64>, s2<64x64>, s3<64x64> -> <128x128>

They can be laid out in different configurations within the result tensor:

  1. s0 s1 2) s0 s2 s2 s3 s1 s3

From a logical tensor perspective, the source tensors are treated as elements of a tensor of tensors. In other words, the 1-D array of input tensors is conceptually reshaped into an n-D grid. The semantics of this op assume a row-major order (or its n-D generalization), meaning the fastest-varying dimension is filled first, and the slowest-varying dimension is filled last. In the example above, this corresponds to layout 1).

The source and destination tensors must have identical linear layouts at the CTA tile level. That is, all base vectors for input dimensions must match, except for the register input dimension. The register basis must align on the subset that defines the logical tensor shape of a single CTA tile.

This ensures that the concatenation is a no-op, meaning no data rearrangement among threads is required to assemble the destination tensor with the given shape and layout. However, the order of CTA tiles within the layout does not need to match between source and destination layouts. It is the responsibility of the op’s lowering logic to handle this correctly.

This op is designed to work on logical tensors directly, avoiding the need for complex layout reinterpretation or reshaping. For example, the tt.join operation only supports concatenation along the innermost dimension, and requires that the resulting innermost dimension provide 2 elements per thread, distributed across registers. In contrast, this concat op imposes no constraints on the concatenation dimension or the size of dimensions.

Example 1:

#blocked = #ttg.blocked<{sizePerThread = [1, 8],
    threadsPerWarp = [8, 8], warpsPerCTA = [4, 1], order = [1, 0]}>
%0 = amdgpu.concat %arg0, %arg1: tensor<32x64xf32, #blocked>,tensor<32x64xf32, #blocked>,
  -> tensor<64x64xf32, #blocked>

#src_layout = #ttg.linear<{register=[[0, 1], [0, 2], [0, 8], [0, 16], [0, 64], [64, 0]], lane=[[1, 0], [2, 0], [4, 0], [8, 0], [16, 0], [0, 4]], warp=[[0, 32], [32, 0]], block=[]}>
#dst_layout = #ttg.linear<{register=[[0, 1], [0, 2], [0, 8], [0, 16], [0, 64], [0, 128], [64, 0], [128, 0]], lane=[[1, 0], [2, 0], [4, 0], [8, 0], [16, 0], [0, 4]], warp=[[0, 32], [32, 0]], block=[]}>

amdgpu.cond_barrier (triton::amdgpu::CondBarrierOp)

Conditionally set barriers to synchronize partial threads in a block

Syntax:

operation ::= `amdgpu.cond_barrier` $pred attr-dict

condBarrierOp sets barrier instruction only when the given argument is true. This provides a way to synchronize partial threads in a block, deliberately diverges the execution sequences. However, user should guarantee all threads converge at the end by calling condBarrierOp(true) with the remaining threads. Conceptually, this is similar to having an execution barrier inside an if statement. This op allows us to avoid blocking the whole block when suitable to help scheduling. NB. This doesn’t set any memory fence.

amdgpu.extract_slice (triton::amdgpu::ExtractSliceOp)

Extract slice operation

Syntax:

operation ::= `amdgpu.extract_slice` $source $static_offsets attr-dict `:` type($source) `to` type($result)

The “extract_slice” operation enables extracting a slice of a tensor in registers.

The “extract_slice” operation supports the following arguments:

  • source: the base tensor on which to create a view tensor

  • offsets: offsets into the base tensor at which to create the view

Example 1:

#blocked = #ttg.blocked<{sizePerThread = [1, 8],
    threadsPerWarp = [4, 16], warpsPerCTA = [4, 1], order = [0, 1]}>
#blocked1 = #ttg.blocked<{sizePerThread = [1, 8],
    threadsPerWarp = [16, 4], warpsPerCTA = [4, 1], order = [0, 1]}>
%1 = ttg.convert_layout %0 : tensor<128x128xf16, #blocked>
    -> tensor<128x128xf16, #blocked1>
// create a slice of base tensor %1 with static offsets
%2 = amdgpu.extract_slice %0 [0, 0] :
  tensor<128x128xf16, #blocked1> to tensor<128x32xf16, #blocked1>

Example 1 shows how “extract_slice” operation may be used. In this example a new slice of 128x32 is created. “extract_slice” works on tensors with layout where the desired slice has the same layout as the source tensor. “%0” cannot be sliced directly as the resulting slice cannot have the same layout as “%0”. Therefore it needs to be converted to a layout suitable for slicing. “#blocked1” layout is appropriate for this as it keeps the sizePerThread the same thus keeping coalescing properties the same. In order to utilize all threads in a warp, “threadsPerWarp” is set to [16,4] for this new layout. This layout conversion carried out before using “extract_slice” ensures slicing still uses all threads efficiently. The size of the slice is determined by the result type.

amdgpu.in_thread_transpose (triton::amdgpu::InThreadTransposeOp)

Perform transpose of register values belonging to each threads

Syntax:

operation ::= `amdgpu.in_thread_transpose` $src attr-dict `:` type($src) `->` type($result)

This operation performs a layout transpose over values in registers per thread. Specifically, given the input layout’s blocked layout, it transposes the two last dimensions(rank-1 and rank-2) along the register dimension of the underlying linear layout.

Conversion example:

  • input layout: blocked layout with sizePerThread=[2, 2], order=[0, 1]. It’s linear layout register bases = [[1, 0], [2, 0], [0, 1], [0, 2]]

  • output layout: same thread and warp bases as in input, register bases = [[0, 1], [0, 2], [1, 0], [2, 0]]

This operation enables efficient coalesced loading from HBM with following vectorized writing to shared memory in cases when HBM and shared memory order differ and target AMD hardware does not natively support this transposition. This is a specific variant of ttg.convert_layout and will be converted to ttg.convert_layout when lowering to llvm. We do not want this conversion to be optimized out, because we need to explicitly materialize instructions to transpose within each thread after loading from HBM and before writing to shared memory.

amdgpu.instruction_sched_hint (triton::amdgpu::InstructionSchedHint)

A placeholder op for instruction scheduling hints within a basic block

Syntax:

operation ::= `amdgpu.instruction_sched_hint` attr-dict

A placeholder op for instruction scheduling hints applied to instructions within a basic block where the placeholder op is located. This op is primarily intended to be used to adjust instruction scheduling inside the resulting main loop of a tt.dot operation. It’s easier to identify dot ops at a high level and, thus, to mark intended scheduling regions. The hint ops are eventually lowered into LLVM AMDGPU instruction scheduling primitives, which are meant to control how different kinds of instructions (valu/mfma, global/shared memory, etc.) should interleave for better instruction level parallelism.
