Mojo struct

FA4MiscMBars

struct FA4MiscMBars[*, num_qk_stages: Int = 1, num_pv_stages: Int = 1, num_kv_stages: Int = 2, use_order_barriers: Bool = True, use_fused_kv: Bool = False, pair_cta: Bool = False, num_qo: Int = 2]

Manages all mbarrier resources for FA4.

This struct consolidates all mbarrier management including:

  • S barriers (score MMA synchronization)
  • C barriers (correction synchronization)
  • Order barriers (softmax ordering)
  • Q1Sync barriers (Q tile synchronization)
  • K/V pipeline barriers (separate K and V)
  • O pipeline barriers

Memory layout (count=128 first, then count=1): [S0_cons] [S1_cons] [C0] [C1] [Order*] | [S0_prod] [S1_prod] [Q1Sync**] [K] [V] [O_prod] *Order barriers only present when use_order_barriers=True **Q1Sync barriers only present when num_qo == 2

Parameters​

  • ​num_qk_stages (Int): Number of stages for Q@K' MMA (K loading can be staged).
  • ​num_pv_stages (Int): Number of stages for P@V MMA (P writing can be staged).
  • ​num_kv_stages (Int): Number of KV buffer stages for double/triple buffering.
  • ​use_order_barriers (Bool): When True, allocate order barriers to prevent softmax warp group overlap. When False, order barriers are omitted.
  • ​use_fused_kv (Bool): Whether the K and V share the same pipeline, or separate.
  • ​pair_cta (Bool): Whether to use 1-cta or 2-cta implementation.
  • ​num_qo (Int): Number of Q tiles per CTA. When 1, the Q1Sync slot is collapsed and K_offset shifts down by num_qk_stages. Must be 2 for any caller of q1_wait_mbar().

Fields​

  • ​mbar_base (MBarType):
