All rights reserved. +# +# See LICENSE for license information. +"""Functional Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) entry point with a single fused VJP. + +This module exposes :func:`moe`, the framework-agnostic flat function that +implements an entire MoE block (gate -> top-k routing -> token dispatch -> +per-expert FFN -> token combine, plus optional expert parallelism via a +shard_map / ragged_all_to_all collective) under a *single* +``jax.custom_vjp``. It is the moral analog of +:func:`transformer_engine.jax.layernorm_mlp.layernorm_mlp` for MoE: one +custom_vjp boundary covers the whole block so future fusions (FP8 over the +EP wire, fused ``ragged_all_to_all + grouped_gemm``, gate+route+dispatch +fusion) can land without re-architecting the call site. + +Design rationale +---------------- + +The earlier MoE block (:class:`transformer_engine.jax.flax.moe._MoEBlock`) +composed many narrower custom_vjps -- one per :func:`grouped_dense`, one +per :func:`token_dispatch`, etc. Every nested custom_vjp is a place where +a quantized :class:`ScaledTensor` cannot survive (JAX requires custom_vjp +inputs / outputs to be plain ``jnp.ndarray`` ish pytrees). To enable +end-to-end FP8 flow -- in particular FP8 carried over the EP +ragged_all_to_all -- the dispatch's quantize, the a2a, the per-expert +FFN, the inverse a2a, and the combine all have to live inside the same +VJP. This file collapses them into one. + +Implementation conventions +-------------------------- + +* No nested ``custom_vjp``. Every primitive's ``_fwd`` and ``_bwd`` is + called directly (e.g. :func:`tex.fused_topk_with_score_function_fwd` / + ``_bwd``, :func:`unpermute_with_mask_map`, + :func:`unpermute_bwd_with_merging_probs`, + :func:`sort_chunks_by_map(is_forward=False)`, + forward + reverse :func:`jax.lax.ragged_all_to_all`) so the outer + ``_moe_bwd_rule`` controls the bwd graph end-to-end without invoking + ``jax.vjp`` for re-linearization. +* The fwd/bwd context (``ctx``) is a plain ``dict`` whose keys depend on + the static configuration (permutation backend, EP active or not, + presence of biases, aux loss enabled). 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. Their ``_bwd`` siblings drive the inverse collectives in the + bwd rule. None of these helpers form a custom_vjp boundary. +""" + +from enum import Enum +from functools import partial +from typing import Any, Callable, NewType, Optional, Tuple, Union + +import jax +import jax.numpy as jnp +from jax.sharding import PartitionSpec as P + +from . import cpp_extensions as tex +from .permutation import ( + PureJaxPermState, + compute_ragged_all_to_all_params, + compute_reverse_ragged_all_to_all_params, + pure_jax_token_combine, + pure_jax_token_dispatch, + routing_map_to_selected_experts, +) +from .quantize import ( + QuantizerSet, + ScaledTensor, + TensorUsage, + noop_quantizer_set, + with_sharding_constraint_by_logical_axes, +) +from .router import ScoreFunction +from .sharding import _get_mesh +from .triton_extensions.permutation import ( + make_chunk_sort_map, + make_row_id_map, + permute_with_mask_map, + permute_with_mask_map_and_pad, + sort_chunks_by_map, + unpermute_bwd_with_merging_probs, + unpermute_bwd_with_merging_probs_and_unpad, + unpermute_with_mask_map, + unpermute_with_mask_map_and_unpad, +) +from .flax.module import _convert_to_activation_function + +PRNGKey = Any +Shape = Tuple[int, ...] +DType = NewType("DType", jnp.dtype) +Array = NewType("Array", jnp.ndarray) + + +__all__ = ["moe", "PermutationBackend"] + + +# ============================================================================= +# Enums +# ============================================================================= + + +class PermutationBackend(Enum): + """Token-dispatch / combine backend used by :func:`moe`. + + * ``PURE_JAX``: ``jnp.argsort`` + gather paths compiled as plain XLA; + typically faster than ``TRITON`` in current testing because XLA can + fuse the ops with surrounding work. + * ``TRITON``: TE's fused Triton kernels. + """ + + PURE_JAX = "pure_jax" + TRITON = "triton" + + +# ============================================================================= +# ctx / dispatch-state key conventions +# ============================================================================= +# +# Both ``ctx`` (carried fwd_rule -> bwd_rule) and the dispatch state +# (carried _dispatch -> _combine / _dispatch_bwd / _combine_bwd) are plain +# python dicts.

The actual root cause is an async-dispatch race between our Triton custom_calls (with input_output_aliases on pre-zeroed output buffers) and the downstream NCCL collective in the same shard_map body -- XLA mis-handles the cross-stream sync edge from the aliased custom_call to the NCCL op. Why the old _MoEBlock path didn't hit this: each primitive (token_dispatch, permute, ragged_all_to_all, sort_chunks) sat behind its own custom_vjp boundary, which acted as an implicit sync barrier. The new unified moe() custom_vjp removes those boundaries (so ScaledTensor can survive across them), exposing the bug. Document CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1 as the current workaround and flag the proper fix (stream sync in triton_call_lowering, or file an upstream JAX FFI bug) for follow-up.

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.

This rules out the HLO-dataflow fix hypothesis: the bug is not a missing XLA stream-sync edge. C.0 passing demonstrates the hang is RACY not deterministic -- matches Olli Lupton's October 2025 memo on JAX/XLA multi-GPU deadlocks from lazy CUDA module loading interleaved with active NCCL collectives (nvbug/5564750). With multi-GPU-per-process the lazy load of a Triton kernel on GPU0 can take the global driver lock and block on cuiStreamSynchronize for an active NCCL kernel that itself depends on GPU1's progress, which is blocked on the same lock. Triton kernels can't be pre-loaded via FFI 'initialize' (JAX core owns the primitive). The proper fix is multiprocess launch (one JAX process per GPU) -- see follow-up commit.

No ``CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1`` is needed. + +Why we keep BOTH files in tree +------------------------------ + +* The single-process file remains the simpler thing to read and is + what most developers will reach for during dev-loop iteration; the + ``CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1`` workaround keeps it green. +* The multi-process file is what we want CI to run for guaranteed + green-without-workarounds correctness, and it is what + ``run_multiprocess_moe_vjp.sh`` (sister script to + ``examples/jax/encoder/run_test_multiprocessing_encoder.sh``) + invokes. +* If/when the upstream JAX FFI bug is fixed (or XLA gains an + ``initialize`` stage for Triton custom_calls), we can collapse the + two by dropping ``CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1`` from the single-process + file and deleting this one. + +How to run +---------- + +You typically do NOT invoke pytest on this file directly -- the +``run_multiprocess_moe_vjp.sh`` launcher forks N pytest processes (one +per visible GPU), passing ``--num-process=N --process-id=i`` to each. +Driving it directly with only one process will skip every test +because :func:`jax.distributed.initialize` will report +``jax.device_count() == 1``. + + bash tests/jax/run_multiprocess_moe_vjp.sh + +CI invocation lives in ``qa/L0_jax_distributed_unittest/test.sh`` +alongside the single-process file's invocation. +""" + +import os + +# Same allocator config as the single-process variant: NCCL needs HBM +# headroom that JAX's default 90% preallocation does not leave.

In a single-process test that's a local reduction; in multi-host JAX it implicitly triggers a cross-process collective (all-gather + reduce) under the hood, and any small divergence in graph build order across processes can deadlock. Replace the host-side reductions with: multihost_utils.process_allgather(x, tiled=True) -> np.asarray Then run the finite / non-zero / parity asserts entirely in numpy. Every process gathers in lockstep, no surprise JAX collectives. Also: launcher now respects MOE_VJP_MP_LOG_DIR so per-process logs survive on a host-mounted volume after the container exits.
