SparseAttnIndexer ¶
Bases: CustomOp
Sparse Attention Indexer Custom Op Layer. This layer is extracted as a separate custom op since it involves heavy custom kernels like mqa_logits, paged_mqa_logits and top_k_per_row, etc. Those kernels maybe requires specific memory layout or implementation for different hardware backends to achieve optimal performance.
For now, the default native path will use CUDA backend path. Other platform may requires add the corresponding Custom Op name sparse_attn_indexer to custom_ops in CompilationConfig to enable the platform specific path.

cp_kv_cache_interleave_size property ¶
With PD+DCP, the real value isn't known until block_size is finalized, which happens after this layer is built. Safe to cache after the first access, as long as the adjustment always runs before any forward pass (it's set up in Worker.initialize_from_config, ahead of warmup/serving).
forward_cpu(hidden_states, q_quant, k, weights) ¶
CPU sparse attention indexer: cache write stays eager Python glue (own K-cache layout, not shared with the main attention cache write). PREFILL and DECODE both call the ported fp8_paged_mqa_logits_cpu/topk_transform_512_cpu kernels, which read the paged K-cache directly via page_table -- no eager gather step, no per-request Python loop.
prefill_metadata.chunks always has exactly one entry here: DeepseekV4CPUIndexerMetadataBuilder overrides the base chunk split to always return the whole step's prefill batch as one chunk, since the base chunking only bounds CUDA/XPU's dense M*N logits tensor and flat K-gather workspace, neither of which this paged kernel allocates.

_gather_workspace_shapes(total_seq_lens, head_dim, fp8_dtype, use_fp4_cache) ¶
Return ((values_shape, values_dtype), (scales_shape, scales_dtype)) for the K-gather workspace. FP8 path: (T, head_dim) fp8 + (T, 4) uint8 fp32 scales. MXFP4 path: (T, head_dim // 2) uint8 packed mxfp4 + (T, head_dim // MXFP4_BLOCK_SIZE) uint8 ue8m0 scales.

_merge_dcp_topk_global(logits, topk_indices, topk_tokens, dcp_rank, dcp_world_size, cp_interleave, row_starts=None) ¶
Merge each DCP rank's local top-K into the global top-K.
topk_indices are this rank's local top-K positions into its 1/N KV shard. A token in the global top-K must also be in its owning rank's local top-K (at most topk_tokens - 1 tokens rank globally above it, hence at most that many on its own rank), so exchanging only the per-rank local candidates is exact -- equivalent to all-gathering the full logit matrix, but it ships dcp_world_size * topk_tokens candidates instead of the whole score row. Overwrites topk_indices with global token ids (-1 for padding); the attention backend localizes them back to physical slots per rank.
