Add Reference Tests

Add tests to validate reference implementations in the HuggingFace dataset clone at tmp/flashinfer-trace/. Ground truth is sourced from FlashInfer repository or SGLang when FlashInfer doesn't have the implementation.

Description

This skill creates test cases under tmp/flashinfer-trace/tests/references/ (the HF dataset clone — the in-repo flashinfer_trace/ directory was removed in the trace-dataset refactor) to validate that reference implementations in Definition JSON files produce correct outputs. The ground truth comes from:

  1. FlashInfer repository (preferred): Official optimized GPU kernels in tmp/flashinfer/
  2. SGLang repository (fallback): When FlashInfer doesn't have the kernel, use tmp/sglang/

Usage

# Test all definitions of a specific op_type
/add-reference-tests --op-type mla_paged
/add-reference-tests --op-type moe
/add-reference-tests --op-type gqa_paged
/add-reference-tests --op-type rmsnorm

# Test a specific definition
/add-reference-tests --definition-name mla_paged_decode_h16_ckv512_kpe64_ps1

# Test all definitions in the definitions directory
/add-reference-tests --all

# Test with custom tolerance
/add-reference-tests --definition-name rmsnorm_h4096 --tolerance 1e-4

Parameters

  • definition_name (optional): Specific definition to test (e.g., "mla_paged_decode_h16_ckv512_kpe64_ps1")
  • op_type (optional): Test all definitions of a specific op_type (e.g., "mla_paged", "moe", "rmsnorm")
  • all (optional): Test all definitions in the definitions directory
  • test_sizes (optional): List of test sizes ["small", "medium", "large"] (default: ["small", "medium"])
  • tolerance (optional): Numerical tolerance for comparison (default: 1e-3 for fp16, 1e-5 for fp32)

Prerequisites

Run /clone-repos first to set up the tmp/ directory with SGLang, FlashInfer, and the HuggingFace trace dataset clone at tmp/flashinfer-trace/ — that clone is the only home for definitions and reference tests.

What This Skill Does

Phase 1: Definition Discovery

  1. Load Target Definitions:

    • If definition_name specified: load single definition
    • If op_type specified: load all definitions matching op_type from tmp/flashinfer-trace/definitions/{op_type}/
    • If all: scan all definitions
  2. Check Existing Tests:

    • Scan tmp/flashinfer-trace/tests/references/ for existing test files
    • Skip definitions that already have tests (unless force=true)
  3. Parse Definition Schema:

    • Extract axes (const/var), inputs, outputs
    • Identify required shapes and dtypes
    • Parse reference implementation code

Phase 2: Ground Truth Discovery

For each definition, locate ground truth implementation using this priority order:

For Model Constants: HuggingFace + SGLang (Required)

Note: See extract-kernel-definitions for detailed guidance on sourcing model constants from HuggingFace and SGLang.

For Ground Truth Execution: FlashInfer API (Primary)

  • When: FlashInfer has the kernel implementation (MOST kernels)
  • Location: tmp/flashinfer/python/flashinfer/
  • Use for: Running optimized GPU kernel as ground truth
  • Examples:
    import flashinfer
    # GQA decode
    flashinfer.BatchDecodeWithPagedKVCacheWrapper(...)
    # GQA prefill
    flashinfer.BatchPrefillWithPagedKVCacheWrapper(...)
    # MLA
    flashinfer.mla.BatchMLAPagedAttentionWrapper(...)
    # RMSNorm
    flashinfer.norm.rmsnorm(...)
    
  • Important: FlashInfer is the PRIMARY ground truth for correctness validation

For Ground Truth Execution: SGLang (Fallback ONLY)

  • When: FlashInfer does NOT have the kernel (e.g., some MoE variants)
  • Location: tmp/sglang/python/sglang/srt/layers/
  • Use for: Ground truth when FlashInfer unavailable
  • Examples:
    layers/moe/fused_moe.py         # MoE when FlashInfer MoE unavailable
    
  • Important: ONLY use SGLang as ground truth when FlashInfer doesn't support the kernel

Reference run() Function Sources

Note: For detailed guidance on sourcing reference implementations, see the extract-kernel-definitions skill's "Reference Implementation Sources" section.

Quick Reference:

  • Primary: FlashInfer unit tests at tmp/flashinfer/tests/ (e.g., test_batch_decode.py, test_norm.py)
  • Fallback: SGLang vanilla implementations at tmp/sglang/python/sglang/srt/layers/ (only when FlashInfer unavailable)

Phase 3: Test Generation

For each definition, generate test file following the standards below.

Test File Standards

File Structure

Each test file should follow this structure:

import json
import math
from pathlib import Path

import numpy as np
import pytest
import torch

# Ground truth imports (with availability checks)
try:
    import flashinfer
    from flashinfer.xxx import some_kernel
    FLASHINFER_AVAILABLE = True
except ImportError:
    FLASHINFER_AVAILABLE = False

# Module-level constants from definition
HIDDEN_SIZE = 7168
NUM_EXPERTS = 256
# ... other constants

TRACE_ROOT = Path(__file__).resolve().parents[2]
WORKLOAD_JSONL_PATH = TRACE_ROOT / "workloads" / "op_type" / "definition_name.jsonl"


@torch.no_grad()
def run(...):
    """Reference implementation matching the definition."""
    # Check constants
    assert hidden_size == HIDDEN_SIZE
    ...


def generate_random_inputs(..., device="cuda"):
    """Generate random inputs for testing."""
    ...
    return {...}


def test_correctness(..., atol=1e-2, rtol=5e-2):
    """Test correctness of reference implementation against ground truth."""
    ...


def main():
    """Run comprehensive tests."""
    ...


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Coding Style Patterns

  1. Constants at Module Level: Define model-specific constants at the top

    # DeepSeek V3/R1 MoE constants
    HIDDEN_SIZE = 7168
    INTERMEDIATE_SIZE = 2048
    NUM_EXPERTS_GLOBAL = 256
    NUM_LOCAL_EXPERTS = 32  # EP=8
    
  2. Use @torch.no_grad() Decorator: For all reference implementations and test functions

  3. Input Generator Function: Separate function generate_random_inputs(...) that returns a dict

  4. Test Function Pattern:

    def test_correctness(batch_size=4, max_seq_len=64, atol=1e-2, rtol=5e-2):
        """Test correctness of reference implementation against ground truth."""
        print(f"\n{'='*60}")
        print(f"Testing {description}: {params}")
        print(f"{'='*60}")
    
        device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
        if device == "cpu":
            print("WARNING: CUDA not available, skipping test")
            return
    
        # Generate inputs
        inputs = generate_random_inputs(...)
    
        # Run reference implementation
        print("\nRunning reference implementation...")
        ref_output = run(**inputs)
    
        # Run ground truth
        print("Running ground truth (FlashInfer/SGLang)...")
        gt_output = ground_truth_fn(**inputs)
    
        # Compare outputs
        print("\nComparing outputs...")
        # ... detailed comparison
    

Correctness Checking Patterns

Standard Tolerance Check (FP16/BF16)

# Convert to float32 for comparison
ref_f32 = ref_output.float()
gt_f32 = gt_output.float()

# Compute detailed error metrics
abs_diff = torch.abs(ref_f32 - gt_f32)
rel_diff = abs_diff / (torch.abs(gt_f32) + 1e-8)

max_abs_diff = abs_diff.max().item()
max_rel_diff = rel_diff.max().item()
mean_abs_diff = abs_diff.mean().item()
mean_rel_diff = rel_diff.mean().item()

print(f"\nOutput tensor comparison:")
print(f"Max absolute difference: {max_abs_diff:.6e}")
print(f"Max relative difference: {max_rel_diff:.6e}")
print(f"Mean absolute difference: {mean_abs_diff:.6e}")
print(f"Mean relative difference: {mean_rel_diff:.6e}")

# Cosine similarity and MSE
cos_sim = torch.nn.functional.cosine_similarity(
    ref_f32.flatten(), gt_f32.flatten(), dim=0
).item()
mse = torch.mean((ref_f32 - gt_f32) ** 2).item()
print(f"Cosine similarity: {cos_sim:.6f}")
print(f"MSE: {mse:.6e}")

# Check tolerance
all_close = torch.allclose(ref_f32, gt_f32, atol=atol, rtol=rtol)
if all_close:
    print(f"\n✓ PASSED: Outputs match within tolerance (atol={atol}, rtol={rtol})")
else:
    print(f"\n✗ FAILED: Outputs differ beyond tolerance (atol={atol}, rtol={rtol})")

Hit Ratio Check (for FP8/Quantized Kernels)

For quantized kernels with higher variance, use hit ratio instead of strict allclose:

# Check what percentage of elements pass the tolerance check
left = (ref_f32 - gt_f32).abs()
right = atol + rtol * gt_f32.abs()
ok = left <= right
hit_ratio = ok.float().mean().item()
print(f"\nHit ratio: {hit_ratio * 100:.2f}%  (need >= {percent * 100:.2f}%)")

return hit_ratio >= percent  # e.g., 85%

Error Location Debugging

When tests fail, show top error locations:

if not all_close:
    flat = abs_diff.flatten()
    k = min(5, flat.numel())
    topv, topi = torch.topk(flat, k)
    print(f"\nTop-{k} absolute error locations:")
    for rank in range(k):
        idx = topi[rank].item()
        # Convert flat index to multi-dimensional
        # ... compute indices
        print(f"  [{indices}]: ref={ref_val:.6e}, gt={gt_val:.6e}, diff={topv[rank].item():.6e}")

Tolerance Guidelines

Multi-Ground-Truth Testing

Pattern for Multiple Ground Truths

When both FlashInfer and SGLang implementations are available, test against both:

# Ground truth imports
try:
    from flashinfer.xxx import flashinfer_kernel
    FLASHINFER_AVAILABLE = True
except ImportError:
    FLASHINFER_AVAILABLE = False

try:
    from sglang.srt.layers.xxx import sglang_kernel
    SGLANG_AVAILABLE = True
except ImportError:
    SGLANG_AVAILABLE = False


def test_correctness_vs_flashinfer(...):
    """Test reference against FlashInfer ground truth."""
    if not FLASHINFER_AVAILABLE:
        pytest.skip("FlashInfer not available")

    ref_output = run(**inputs)
    fi_output = flashinfer_kernel(**inputs)

    assert_close(ref_output, fi_output, atol=atol, rtol=rtol)


def test_correctness_vs_sglang(...):
    """Test reference against SGLang ground truth."""
    if not SGLANG_AVAILABLE:
        pytest.skip("SGLang not available")

    ref_output = run(**inputs)
    sg_output = sglang_kernel(**inputs)

    assert_close(ref_output, sg_output, atol=atol, rtol=rtol)


def test_ground_truths_match(...):
    """Test that FlashInfer and SGLang produce consistent results."""
    if not (FLASHINFER_AVAILABLE and SGLANG_AVAILABLE):
        pytest.skip("Both ground truths not available")

    fi_output = flashinfer_kernel(**inputs)
    sg_output = sglang_kernel(**inputs)

    assert_close(fi_output, sg_output, atol=atol, rtol=rtol)

Comprehensive Test Runner

def main():
    """Run comprehensive tests against all available ground truths."""
    print("Testing Reference Implementation")

    # Test configurations
    test_configs = [
        (1, 16),   # Small
        (4, 32),   # Medium
        (8, 64),   # Large
    ]

    results = {"flashinfer": [], "sglang": []}

    for config in test_configs:
        if FLASHINFER_AVAILABLE:
            try:
                ok = test_correctness_vs_flashinfer(*config)
                results["flashinfer"].append(ok)
            except Exception as e:
                print(f"FlashInfer test failed: {e}")
                results["flashinfer"].append(False)

        if SGLANG_AVAILABLE:
            try:
                ok = test_correctness_vs_sglang(*config)
                results["sglang"].append(ok)
            except Exception as e:
                print(f"SGLang test failed: {e}")
                results["sglang"].append(False)

    # Summary
    print(f"\n{'='*60}")
    print("Summary:")
    for source, passed_list in results.items():
        if passed_list:
            print(f"  {source}: {sum(passed_list)}/{len(passed_list)} tests passed")
    print(f"{'='*60}")

Standard Test Generation

For each definition, generate test file:

  1. Create Test Class with:

    • Fixture for loading definition
    • Fixture for compiling reference implementation
    • Fixture for ground truth function
  2. Generate Test Inputs:

    • Parse definition schema for input shapes and dtypes
    • Generate random tensors matching specifications
    • Handle both constant and variable axes
  3. Create Test Methods:

    • test_output_shape: Verify output shapes match definition
    • test_output_dtype: Verify output dtypes match definition
    • test_numerical_correctness: Compare reference vs ground truth
    • test_determinism: Verify reproducible results

Phase 4: Test Cases

Generate multiple test cases with varying sizes:

# Small: Quick smoke tests
SMALL_SIZES = {
    "batch_size": [1, 2],
    "seq_len": [1, 16],
    "num_pages": [1, 4],
}

# Medium: Standard tests
MEDIUM_SIZES = {
    "batch_size": [4, 8, 16],
    "seq_len": [64, 128, 256],
    "num_pages": [16, 32, 64],
}

Phase 5: Write Test Files

Output to tmp/flashinfer-trace/tests/references/ (the HF dataset clone — committed and PR'd against flashinfer-ai/flashinfer-trace).

Implementation Steps

When executing this skill:

  1. Identify definitions to test:

    ls tmp/flashinfer-trace/definitions/{op_type}/
    
  2. Check for existing tests:

    ls tmp/flashinfer-trace/tests/references/
    
  3. For each definition:

    • Read the definition JSON
    • Identify ground truth source (FlashInfer or SGLang)
    • Generate test class with appropriate fixtures
    • Generate test methods for shape, dtype, and numerical correctness
  4. Create test file:

    # Create tests directory if needed
    mkdir -p tmp/flashinfer-trace/tests/references/
    
  5. Write test file:

    • If testing multiple definitions of same op_type, combine into one file
    • Each definition gets its own test class
  6. Create/update conftest.py with shared fixtures

Running Tests

After generating tests, run from the HF dataset clone:

# Run all reference tests
pytest tmp/flashinfer-trace/tests/references/ -v

# Run specific test file
pytest tmp/flashinfer-trace/tests/references/test_mla_paged.py -v

# Run with GPU
pytest tmp/flashinfer-trace/tests/references/ -v --device cuda

# Run with verbose output
pytest tmp/flashinfer-trace/tests/references/ -v -s

Error Handling

Ground Truth Not Available

  • Error: Ground truth implementation not found
  • Handling: Follow priority order:
    1. Check SGLang vanilla implementation
    2. Check SGLang FlashInfer API integration
    3. Check FlashInfer API directly
    4. If none available, mark test as skip with reason

Definition Parse Error

  • Error: Invalid definition JSON
  • Handling: Report validation errors, skip test generation

Shape Mismatch

  • Error: Reference output shape doesn't match definition
  • Handling: Create failing test, flag for investigation

Numerical Divergence

  • Error: Reference differs from ground truth beyond tolerance
  • Handling: Create failing test with detailed diff report

Integration with Other Skills

# Complete workflow
/clone-repos

# Extract definitions
/extract-kernel-definitions --model-name deepseek_v3

# Add tests for new definitions
/add-reference-tests --op-type mla_paged
/add-reference-tests --op-type moe

# Run tests from the HF dataset clone
pytest tmp/flashinfer-trace/tests/references/ -v

Notes

  • Tests run on GPU by default; CPU fallback for CI environments
  • Tolerance varies by dtype: looser for fp16 (1e-3), stricter for fp32 (1e-5)
  • Some kernels may not have FlashInfer ground truth yet
  • Test parametrization covers common batch/sequence sizes
  • Tests marked with @pytest.mark.slow for large sizes
