T.reduce_max and T.reduce_min with FP8 E4M3 output emitted invalid inff literals. Non-finite E4M3, E8M0, and FP4 constants now pass valid CUDART_INF_F / CUDART_NAN_F expressions to the existing conversion constructors, preserving their saturation and NaN behavior.

Regular and deferred reductions now reject sub-byte numeric accumulator dtypes such as FP4 and int4 with an early diagnostic. Use FP16/FP32 or a wider integer output/reducer buffer; FP4 inputs with FP16/FP32 accumulation remain supported. Boolean reductions are exempt. The FP4 shuffle/comparison overloads and workspace-sizing special case are removed. E8M0 reduction support remains outside this change.

Fixes #2998

Validation on B300 with CUDA 13.1:

  • Native rebuild and formatting passed.
  • All 28 remaining focused tests passed, covering rejection through native IR and both reducer APIs, FP4 inputs with FP16/FP32 accumulation, FP8 reductions, and non-finite constant conversions.
  • The complete reduction test file had 150 passes and the same 3 pre-existing batch-validation failures: sum float16/bfloat16 with batch=4 > N=2, and min float16 with batch=8 > N=4.
  • Removed the extra boolean runtime test that caused the ROCm CI failure by forcing target="cuda". The accumulator policy is unchanged.

reduce_max/min build their -INFINITY/+INFINITY init via make_const,
bypassing T.infinity()'s guard. e4m3/float4 have no inf encoding, so
PrintConst printed it as the invalid literal `inff`. Clamp to the
format's max-finite value instead, since (unlike e5m2 in tile-ai#2671) there's
no bit pattern to bitcast to.

Fixes tile-ai#2998

Walkthrough

CUDA reduction support adds FP4 shuffle and extrema operations and adjusts scalar FP4 workspace allocation. CUDA constant emission handles non-finite FP8 and FP4 values. E8M0 max reductions use a finite initialization value. Tests cover reduction results, generated CUDA code, and runtime conversions.

Changes: CUDA FP8 and FP4 reduction support

Layer / File(s) Summary
FP4 reduction operations
src/tl_templates/cuda/common.h, src/tl_templates/cuda/cuda_fp4.h, src/transform/lower_tile_op.cc, testing/python/language/test_tilelang_language_reduce.py
Shuffle wrappers cast delta to unsigned. FP4 shuffle overloads use raw encoding, and FP4 extrema overloads compare values as floats. Scalar FP4 workspace allocation doubles the requested element count. Tests cover FP8 and FP4 reductions, including FP4 cross-warp code generation.
Non-finite format constants
src/cuda/codegen/codegen_cuda.cc, testing/python/language/test_tilelang_language_reduce.py
CUDA constant emission handles FP8 and FP4 infinities and NaNs with CUDA FP32 constants. Finite values retain hexadecimal FP32 literals. Tests check generated constants and runtime conversions.
E8M0 max identity
src/backend/common/op/reduce.h, src/op/reducer.cc, testing/python/language/test_tilelang_language_reduce.py
Local and deferred E8M0 max reductions use the finite identity 2^-127. Tests check max and min identity code generation.

Priority: Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to d0aec

E8M0 NaN constants now use the CUDA conversion path instead of a finite fallback. No outstanding issue identified here blocks merge.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 52a5b

The inspected changes affect numeric lowering and GPU reduction behavior, without an identified increase in access or privileges. No concrete security concern was established. Confidence remains bounded by incomplete downstream coverage and unavailable CUDA SDK implementation details.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The supported exposure is numeric behavior in generated CUDA using the affected low-precision formats and FP4 reduction operations. The inspected path does not demonstrate increased caller authority. Tenant, service, and deployment-wide exposure cannot be determined from these compiler and test call sites.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • inferred — Even if callers control the IR constant, the changed branch consumes a typed numeric value and emits it through the existing CUDA formatter. Inspection supports a numeric-contract change, not a new route around an access control or a new compiler authority boundary.

Explanation

Issue #2998 requires valid CUDA constants for float8_e4m3 and float4, plus compiling reduce_max and reduce_min for those destinations. PrintConst now uses CUDART_INF_F and CUDART_NAN_F through destination conversion constructors. E4M3 uses a representable finite reduction identity. FP4 shuffles use raw bits, extrema compare numerical values, and workspace allocation reserves sufficient scalar storage. Focused reduction, conversion, cross-warp, and code-generation tests cover these paths. The change does not alter the stated float8_e5m2 scope.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The FP4 shuffle, numerical extrema, and workspace changes support the FP4 reduction requirement in issue #2998. The E8M0 identity and conversion changes extend the same non-finite constant and reduction-initialization handling, with focused tests. No unrelated change is demonstrated.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title correctly identifies the CUDA reduction context and the fix for non-finite constants, which is a main change. However, the changes do not reject sub-byte accumulators; they add FP4 reduction support and corrections.

@LeiWang1999 @SiriusNEO could one of you take a look when you have a moment?

Following @Hughshine's updated analysis on #2998, this now also fixes fp4 reduce:

  • fp4_e2_t shuffles and comparisons were ambiguous, and a bare max/min compared raw encodings, so results were wrong once it compiled
  • float8_e8m0fnu non-finite constants now clamp to its own range (the CodeRabbit finding)

Added fp4 max/min runtime tests and an e8m0 codegen test. Verified on sm_120.

The FP4 runtime coverage needs a cross-warp case; I will address the workspace allocation issue described below.

The current CI build failure comes from the newer main commit 741bf8b (#3226), which is included in the CI merge commit 4add86a. In src/transform/loop_vectorize.cc:1411, VectorizeLoop now receives const arith::Analyzer*, but VectorizeRewriter still requires arith::Analyzer*. The CUDA and Metal install jobs both fail on this conversion before tests run. This file is outside the current PR diff, so I am recording the build issue here.

I will merge the current main into this branch and give VectorizeRewriter a cloned analyzer. This keeps the caller's analysis context read-only, as intended by #3226. Validation will include reproducing the compile failure, rebuilding the wheel, and running the existing loop-analysis/vectorization and focused FP8/FP4 coverage.

Merge main through 741bf8b. Clone the read-only analyzer before constructing VectorizeRewriter so the updated VectorizeLoop signature compiles while preserving the caller analysis context.

The build failure recorded in #3189 (review) is fixed in a1d1805, which is now on this PR branch.

The commit merges main through 741bf8b and gives VectorizeRewriter a cloned analyzer. I reproduced the original const-pointer compilation error after the main sync, then verified the fix with a native GCC build, a Clang compilation check, and an isolated wheel build and install from an empty build directory. Formatting passed.

Validation: 139 existing loop-analysis/vectorization tests passed. Another 24 tests passed against the installed wheel: 22 focused FP8/FP4 cases plus the nested-serial-bounds and nonzero-loop-minimum regressions. The test entry point verified that TileLang and both TVM native libraries loaded from the installed wheel. New CI run: https://github.com/tile-ai/tilelang/actions/runs/39776527794; checks are pending.

Thanks for the original fix. I've pushed some improvements and narrowed the supported scope, most recently in a3a030c.

The main design decision is that FP4 accumulation is an artificial requirement for this PR: we have no concrete workload that justifies maintaining it. FP4 input data can be converted exactly to FP16/FP32 for reduction, with the final result converted back to FP4 if needed. In the current API, the output/reducer dtype also determines accumulation precision and the type passed through the collective. Choosing FP4 therefore brings additional shuffle, comparison, and packed-workspace requirements; for sums, it also introduces severe rounding and range limitations. Even though FP4 max/min is mathematically possible, that alone does not justify maintaining a separate FP4 collective path.

The resulting changes and constraints are:

  • Keep the general non-finite constant fix: emit valid CUDART_INF_F / CUDART_NAN_F expressions and let the existing conversion constructors handle saturation and NaNs, instead of duplicating format-specific conversion rules.
  • Reject sub-byte numeric accumulator dtypes, including FP4 and int4, in native parsing for regular and deferred reductions. This covers the legacy reducer API too. FP4 inputs with FP16/FP32 accumulation remain supported; FP8 and boolean reductions are unaffected by this restriction.
  • Remove the FP4 shuffle/comparison overloads and the workspace-allocation workaround. common.h, cuda_fp4.h, and lower_tile_op.cc no longer need changes in this PR.
  • Drop the E8M0 reduction-identity special cases and their dedicated tests because E8M0 reduction support is outside this scope. Its general non-finite constant coverage remains. I also merged main so the upstream loop_vectorize.cc fix no longer appears in this PR.

Validation on B300 with CUDA 13.1: native rebuild and formatting passed; all 29 focused tests passed, including the rejection diagnostics and FP4 inputs with FP16/FP32 accumulation. The complete reduction, reducer v2, and bitwise-reduction test files had 233 passes and the same 3 pre-existing batch-validation failures.
