The default 7-config sweep yields the best runtime on production shapes but costs ~1-5 s of MLIR→LLVM→PTX→cubin compile per config-per-kernel on a cold start (≈2-5 min total per backend, serialized on a single GPU). Set to a single value (e.g. ``"128"``) to skip autotuning entirely for tests / CI where correctness -- not throughput -- is the goal.

Our +permute/unpermute Triton kernels use ``input_output_aliases`` on a +pre-zeroed output buffer (see +``transformer_engine/jax/triton_extensions/permutation.py`` :: +``PermuteWithMaskMapPrimitive`` / ``SortChunksByMapPrimitive``). +XLA's dependency tracker mis-handles the cross-stream sync edge +between such an aliased custom_call and the immediately-following +``jax.lax.ragged_all_to_all`` -- the all_to_all is launched on the +NCCL communicator stream before the Triton kernel finishes writing +sorted_inputs on the compute stream, so different ranks read different +versions of the per-expert token counts and NCCL deadlocks. + +Empirically confirmed on dlcluster (GB200, jaxlib 0.10.1.dev20260519): +* CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING unset -> triton smoke + bwd hang at 300 s + (watchdog stacks identical every interval, only MainThread visible + in Python -- the XLA worker threads are in C++) +* CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1 -> smoke suite passes in <1 min across 3 + consecutive runs. + +Workaround: ``CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1`` is exported by both +``qa/L0_jax_distributed_unittest/test.sh`` and +``tests/jax/run_distributed_moe_vjp.sh``. The runtime cost for these +correctness shapes is negligible. The proper fix is to either (a) +teach ``triton_call_lowering`` to emit the right stream-sync edges, +or (b) file an upstream JAX FFI bug for ``operand_output_aliases`` +with ``api_version=2`` interacting with NCCL collectives. TODO when +the team prioritises a clean fix. + +``-p no:typeguard`` is also passed defensively +--------------------------------------------- + +A separate historical issue: jaxtyping's pytest plugin auto-loads +typeguard, whose @typechecked import hook wraps every annotated TE / +JAX / Flax callable and can perform isinstance() checks on JAX +tracers during shard_map tracing. We've never been able to fully +rule out an interaction with the async-dispatch path, so the wrappers +disable typeguard for this file only (other jax tests still rely on +it for type-hint validation). After the proper fix for the +async-dispatch race lands, ``-p no:typeguard`` may become redundant, +but for now we keep it. + +This is the first TE test that combines (a) Triton autotuned kernels +with ``input_output_aliases``, (b) ``shard_map`` body, (c) NCCL +collectives (``ragged_all_to_all``, ``all_gather``), (d) ``custom_vjp``, +and (e) JAX async dispatch. None of the previous JAX tests exercised +this combination, which is why the interaction was not observed +before. + +Heavier opt-in: pass ``--forked`` (requires ``pip install --user +pytest-forked``) to fork a fresh Python/JAX/XLA process per test +variant.

The two files exercise the same code +paths in :func:`transformer_engine.jax.moe.moe`, but they bootstrap JAX +very differently: + +* ``test_distributed_moe_vjp.py`` is the **single-process, multi-GPU** + variant: one Python process sees all 4 GPUs as local devices, and + ``shard_map`` dispatches work to each. This is the simplest setup + but suffers from a CUDA-driver-level deadlock when **lazy Triton + module loading** interleaves with **active NCCL collectives** -- see + ``past_JAX_XLA_deadlock.txt`` for Olli Lupton's writeup + (nvbug/5564750). Workaround used there: ``CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1`` + to serialize every CUDA launch across all device threads. + +* THIS file is the **multi-process, one-GPU-per-process** variant. + Each pytest process binds to exactly one device via + ``jax.distributed.initialize(..., local_device_ids=process_id)`` and + the four processes form a global mesh through JAX's distributed + runtime.

The ``_moe_fwd_rule`` builds a + matching ``ctx_specs`` dict in lockstep when opening the EP shard_map + so ``out_specs`` structurally matches the body's return. +* :func:`_dispatch` is the helper that wraps + ``permute -> a2a -> local_permute`` (forward); :func:`_combine` is its + inverse.
