…ynchronous for prefill batches The async NVFP4 input quantization on the MoE aux stream (added for latency-bound decode batches) also ran on prefill batches. For a 128K-token context step its record_stream of the GB-sized input and output keeps the caching allocator from reusing those blocks, which forces synchronizing cudaFree calls and a ~3 s stall per step on the DeepSeek-R1 PP4 context worker. Quantize on the aux stream only up to 1024 tokens. Signed-off-by: trtllm-agent <296075020+trtllm-agent@users.noreply.github.com>

Tip For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes. @trtllm-agent Understood. Your explanation supports keeping the per-call Chunked-prefill performance remains unmeasured. That is a validation gap, not evidence that whole-batch gating is needed. I am not requesting that change. You are interacting with an AI system. |

Description
Partially fixes https://nvbugs/6448152. This PR fixes the second drop on the case, from ~893 to ~460 output tok/s, which started at #19960. The earlier C++-vs-Python transceiver gap is tracked separately.

CuteDslFusedMoE.quantize_input_async. It moves the NVFP4 input quantization onto the MoE aux stream so that, for small decode batches, it overlaps top-k andmoe_sort. The scheduler also takes this path for every no-comm CuteDSL NVFP4 forward, including prefill. On a DeepSeek-R1 FP4 context worker with PP4 and 128K-token context steps, the quantized activations and their scaling factors are GB-sized.record_streamacross the main and aux streams keeps the caching allocator from reusing those blocks right away, so the allocator falls back tocudaFree+cudaMallocwith a device synchronization. The PP stages then stall on one another.nsys on the context worker (PP rank 0, 4 profiled iterations), ToT with vs. without async quantization:

Dev Engineer Review
quantize_input_asyncnow uses the auxiliary stream only when the batch contains at most 1024 tokens. Larger batches use synchronous quantization and return no event. The existing kill switch and other fallback conditions remain unchanged. This limits overlap for large prefill batches while preserving async eligibility at the 1024-token boundary. Test results and review-finding counts are unavailable.QA Engineer Review
The test file adds a
too_many_tokensfallback case and a boundary test for 1024 and 1025 tokens. The tests cover synchronous fallback, event behavior, and whether the auxiliary-stream check is reached. The listed CI test entry covers a different test in this file; these new tests are not listed in the inspected CI list. Coverage verdict: needs follow-up.Per-File QA Perspective
tensorrt_llm/_torch/moe/fused_moe/fused_moe_cute_dsl.py— Verify that batches above 1024 tokens use the synchronous path and that batches at or below the cap retain asynchronous eligibility. Confirm large-prefill behavior and decode performance.tests/unittest/_torch/moe/kernels/parallel/test_cute_dsl_moe.py— The added tests cover fallback conditions and the 1024/1025 boundary. The inspected CI list does not include these test cases.
