Summary of Changes

Hello @nvjullin, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request focuses on optimizing the allreduce kernel launch configuration within FlashInfer, specifically by adopting a strategy similar to TensorRT-LLM. The primary goal is to enhance performance, which has been demonstrated by a significant reduction in kernel execution time for Llama3 models under specific conditions.

Highlights

  • Allreduce Kernel Optimization: The allreduce kernel launch configuration logic in trtllm_allreduce_fusion.cuh has been updated to align with TensorRT-LLM's approach.
  • Performance Improvement: This change yielded substantial performance gains, reducing kernel time from ~26.8us to ~9.8us for Llama3 with concurrency=128 and tp2 in the generation-only phase.
  • Dynamic Resource Allocation: A new dynamic adjustment mechanism for threads_per_block and cluster_size was introduced, which considers the GPU's Streaming Multiprocessor (SM) count to optimize resource utilization during kernel launches.

Code Review

This pull request updates the kernel launch configuration for allreduce_fusion to better utilize hardware resources by considering the SM count. This is a good performance optimization that, according to the description, yields significant improvements. My review includes one suggestion to refactor the launch parameter calculation logic for improved conciseness and maintainability by merging two consecutive loops.
