triton.language.device_assert

triton.language.device_assert(cond, msg='')

Assert the condition at runtime from the device. Requires that the environment variable TRITON_DEBUG is set to a value besides 0 in order for this to have any effect.

Using the Python assert statement is the same as calling this function, except that the second argument must be provided and must be a string, e.g. assert pid == 0, "pid != 0". The environment variable must be set for this assert statement to have any effect.

tl.device_assert(pid == 0)
assert pid == 0, f"pid != 0"

Parameters:

• cond – the condition to assert. This is required to be a boolean tensor.

• msg – the message to print if the assertion fails. This is required to be a string literal.
