GitHub Bot Help

/bot [-h] ['run', 'kill', 'skip', 'reuse-pipeline'] ...

Provide a user friendly way for developers to interact with a Jenkins server.

Run /bot [-h|--help] to print this help message.

See details below for each supported subcommand.

run [--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id --disable-fail-fast --skip-test --stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" --gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" --test-backend "pytorch, cpp" --add-multi-gpu-test --only-multi-gpu-test --disable-multi-gpu-test --post-merge --extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx" --detailed-log --debug(experimental)]

Launch build/test pipelines. All previously running jobs will be killed.

--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id (OPTIONAL) : Allow the new pipeline to reuse build artifacts and skip successful test stages from a specified pipeline or the last pipeline if no pipeline-id is indicated. If the Git commit ID has changed, this option will be always ignored. The DEFAULT behavior of the bot is to reuse build artifacts and successful test results from the last pipeline.

--disable-reuse-test (OPTIONAL) : Explicitly prevent the pipeline from reusing build artifacts and skipping successful test stages from a previous pipeline. Ensure that all builds and tests are run regardless of previous successes.

--disable-fail-fast (OPTIONAL) : Disable fail fast on build/tests/infra failures.

--skip-test (OPTIONAL) : Skip all test stages, but still run build stages, package stages and sanity check stages. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the specified test stages. Examples: "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the test stages on the specified GPU types. Examples: "A30, H100_PCIe". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--test-backend "pytorch, cpp" (OPTIONAL) : Skip test stages which don't match the specified backends. Only support [pytorch, cpp, tensorrt, triton]. Examples: "pytorch, cpp" (does not run test stages with tensorrt or triton backend). Note: Does NOT update GitHub pipeline status.

--only-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Only run the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--disable-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Disable the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--add-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Force run the multi-GPU tests in addition to running L0 pre-merge pipeline.

--post-merge (OPTIONAL) : Run the L0 post-merge pipeline instead of the ordinary L0 pre-merge pipeline.

--extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Run the ordinary L0 pre-merge pipeline and specified test stages. Examples: --extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx".

--detailed-log (OPTIONAL) : Enable flushing out all logs to the Jenkins console. This will significantly increase the log volume and may slow down the job.

--debug (OPTIONAL) : Experimental feature. Enable access to the CI container for debugging purpose. Note: Specify exactly one stage in the stage-list parameter to access the appropriate container environment. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

For guidance on mapping tests to stage names, see docs/source/reference/ci-overview.md
and the scripts/test_to_stage_mapping.py helper.

kill

kill

Kill all running builds associated with pull request.

skip

skip --comment COMMENT

Skip testing for latest commit on pull request. --comment "Reason for skipping build/test" is required. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is dangerous since lack of user care and validation can cause top of tree to break.

reuse-pipeline

reuse-pipeline

Reuse a previous pipeline to validate current commit. This action will also kill all currently running builds associated with the pull request. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is dangerous since lack of user care and validation can cause top of tree to break.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a new grouped-attention match/rewrite (pattern_5 → replacement_5) that repeats K/V by n_rep, matches SDPA with attn_mask, and replaces it with grouped SDPA. Registers dummy_args_3 and scalar_workaround for n_rep. Emits a warning if no grouped-attention patterns are found. No public API changes.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Grouped Attention pattern addition
tensorrt_llm/_torch/auto_deploy/transform/library/attention.py
Adds pattern_5 (uses torch_attention_repeat_kv to expand K/V by n_rep, then torch_attention_sdpa.default(q,k,v,attn_mask)) and replacement_5 (routes to torch_attention_grouped_sdpa.default(q,k,v,attn_mask)). Registers dummy_args_3 = [q, k1, v1, n_rep, attn_mask], wires n_rep via scalar_workaround, registers the new matcher alongside patterns 1–4, and adds a warning when no grouped-attention patterns are found. No exported signatures changed.

1-1: Missing NVIDIA copyright header

Per the repository guidelines, prepend the current-year NVIDIA copyright header.

Example header to add at the very top:

# Copyright (c) 2025, NVIDIA CORPORATION. All rights reserved.
🧹 Nitpick comments (4)
tensorrt_llm/_torch/auto_deploy/transform/library/attention.py (4)

327-331: Use keyword argument for attn_mask in SDPA call to avoid schema/positional drift

Prefer passing attn_mask as a keyword to align with the rest of the file and avoid accidental breakage if the op schema or arg ordering changes.

Apply this diff:

-    return torch.ops.auto_deploy.torch_attention_sdpa.default(q, k, v, attn_mask)
+    return torch.ops.auto_deploy.torch_attention_sdpa.default(q, k, v, attn_mask=attn_mask)

333-335: Use keyword argument for attn_mask in grouped SDPA replacement

Same nit as above: use a keyword for clarity and resilience to schema changes.

-    return torch.ops.auto_deploy.torch_attention_grouped_sdpa.default(q, k, v, attn_mask)
+    return torch.ops.auto_deploy.torch_attention_grouped_sdpa.default(q, k, v, attn_mask=attn_mask)

436-436: Heads mismatch risk in dummy_args_3 (q=8 heads vs. repeated k/v to 7): hard error if executed

q has 8 heads while k1/v1 have 1 head and you repeat with n_rep=7 → k/v end up with 7 heads. If the pattern function is ever executed instead of traced symbolically, SDPA will see q_heads != kv_heads and crash. Even if it works today via FX tracing, tightening this avoids fragile behavior.

Consider computing n_rep from q and k1 to keep heads consistent for this pattern only:

-            dummy_args_3 = [q, k1, v1, n_rep, attn_mask]
+            dummy_args_3 = [q, k1, v1, q.shape[1] // k1.shape[1], attn_mask]

If you prefer to keep n_rep as a shared constant for the earlier patterns, this keeps them unchanged while hardening just pattern_5.


472-478: Make pattern_5 registration more robust; also align scalar_workaround with computed n_rep

  • Add op_ignore_types to tolerate common dtype casts around masks in the wild (mirrors how SFDP patterns ignore aten.to(dtype)).
  • If you adopt the computed n_rep in dummy_args_3 above, mirror that here for scalar_workaround to ensure a stable scalar bind.
             register_ad_pattern(
                 search_fn=_grouped_attn_pattern_5,
                 replace_fn=_grouped_attn_replacement_5,
                 patterns=patterns,
-                dummy_args=dummy_args_3,
-                scalar_workaround={"n_rep": n_rep},
+                dummy_args=dummy_args_3,
+                scalar_workaround={"n_rep": q.shape[1] // k1.shape[1]},
+                op_ignore_types={torch.ops.aten.to.dtype: (torch.dtype,)},
             )

If you’d like, I can follow up with a lightweight unit test that constructs a minimal FX graph exhibiting this pattern and verifies the rewrite hits.

Python indentation: 4 spaces, no tabs
Maintain module namespace in imports (from package.subpackage import foo; then use foo.SomeClass())
Python file names use snake_case
Python class names use PascalCase

Constants use UPPER_SNAKE_CASE in Python
Avoid shadowing variables from outer scopes in Python
Initialize all externally visible members of a Python class in init
Prefer docstrings for interfaces used outside a file; comments for local code
Use Google-style docstrings for classes and functions (Sphinx-parsable)
Document attributes/variables inline with short docstrings
Avoid reflection when simple alternatives exist (e.g., prefer explicit parameters over dict(**locals()))
In try/except, catch the narrowest exceptions possible
For duck-typing with try/except, keep try body minimal and put logic in else
