KDA CUTLASS DeepSeek V4 Flash (0731)
manually audited: clean
Genuine from-scratch Triton implementation of KDA chunked forward (this is the RETRY of provider-killed 20260801_224338; ran to completion). Three hand-written Triton kernels: _intra_wu_kernel (lines 37-86) builds the intra-chunk A_kk = (k e^g)(k e^-g)^T, applies beta, and inverts (I - M) for the strictly-lower-triangular UT transform via 4 iterations of Neumann-series doubling (exact for nilpotent M), producing w/u; _prep_kernel (89-125) computes qg/kst/D and the masked Aqk; and _recurrent_kernel (128-162) loops chunks sequentially per (B,H,V-split) keeping the K x BV state S in registers. Semantics match the reference chunk recurrence (vnew = u - wS; o = qgS + Aqk vnew; S = D*S + kst^T vnew). No fla.* import anywhere; zero textual hits of every problem.yaml forbidden entry (the docstring cites "fla/ops/kda/naive.py" in slash form and "No fla.* imports; written from scratch" — neither matches the literal grep, and neither is a call). FLAGGED pattern: forward() keys a CUDA-graph replay on the five input data_ptr()s (lines 212-232) — needs the standard empirical recompute test, static data-flow says benign (below). template_mutated=false; check.log PASS (numeric stress on) both in-run and in the sequential re-grade. Low score (0.0428) is honest: bf16 tl.dot chunked formulation, RESULT: LOW in benchmark.log, no shortcut path.
Per-shape vs governing ceilingeach shape graded against whichever binds — bf16 compute or HBM bandwidth
compute-bound memory-bound · bar + right column = official fraction of the ceiling (the geomean input)
geomean(5.0% · 5.9% · 4.6% · 2.5%) = 4.3%

"""Custom Triton kernel for Kimi Delta Attention (KDA) forward, chunk form.
Chunk-parallel formulation matching fla/ops/kda/naive.py:
intra-chunk (per (B,H,chunk)):
A_kk = (k exp(g)) (k exp(-g))^T
A_feed = strict-lower(A_kk) * beta[row]
X = (I - M)^{-1}, M = -A_feed (via Neumann-series doubling; exact
since M is strictly lower triangular)
A = X * beta[col]
w = A (k exp(g)), u = A v
Aqk = (q scale exp(g)) (k exp(-g))^T masked lower-triangular
qg = q scale exp(g), kst = k exp(g_last - g), D = exp(g_last)
inter-chunk recurrence (per (B,H), looped inside the recurrent kernel):
vnew_i = u_i - w_i S
o_i = qg_i S + Aqk_i vnew_i
S = D_i*S + kst_i^T vnew_i
Three Triton kernels:
1) _intra_wu_kernel -- grid (NT, B*H); A_kk + solve -> w, u.
2) _prep_kernel -- grid (NT, B*H); qg / kst / D / Aqk.
3) _recurrent_kernel -- grid (B*H*NV); sequential loop over chunks keeping
the state S in registers, computing o on the fly.
No fla.* imports; written from scratch.
