Documentation

Dynamic Sparse Attention

Agora's dynamic_sparse_attention function allows the flexibility of choosing between the hash-sparse implementation and the qk-sparse implementation. This function's objective is to dynamically direct the sparse attention mechanism based on the selected sparsity_mode.

The function parameters are as follows:

q: Query tensor of shape (BATCH, N_CTX_Q, H, D_HEAD)
k: Key tensor of shape (BATCH, N_CTX_KV, H, D_HEAD)
v: Value tensor of shape (BATCH, N_CTX_KV, H, D_HEAD)
q_idx & k_idx: Represent either the bucket index if sparsity_mode is 'hash' or whether to keep a given head if sparsity_mode is 'qk'. The tensor shapes are (BATCH, N_CTX_Q, H) and (BATCH, N_CTX_KV, H) respectively.
sm_scale: Normalization constant, 1/sqrt(D_HEAD) unless specified.
sparsity_mode: 'hash' to select the hash-sparse implementation and 'qk' for the qk-sparse implementation.

The sm_scale is calculated by default if not provided, and if an unknown sparsity_mode is given, it throws a KeyError.

The function then checks the sparsity_mode and based on its value, it calls either hash_sparse_attention or qk_sparse_attention.

Compact Function

The compact function builds a compact representation of the input tensor x using the information from keep_tensor.

The function parameters are:

x: Input tensor to compact, with shape (BATCH, N_CTX, H, D_HEAD).
keep_tensor: Float tensor of shape (BATCH, N_CTX, H) containing a 1 when the head is kept and 0 otherwise.

The function first calculates the indices_per_head which computes the number of non-killed elements per head. It sorts the keep_tensor in a descending order while preserving the order of equal elements (stable=True). It then gathers the elements of x based on the index tensor. The result is a compact representation of x along with the index tensor and the tensor representing the number of non-killed elements per head.

Pad Index Function

The pad_index function pads the index tensor to comply with the kernel. It takes the following parameters:

index: Original index tensor given by compact, with shape (BATCH, buffer_size, H). For each batch and timestep, it represents the head index it's originating from.
indices_per_head: For each head, contains how many indices have not been dropped.

It creates a copy of the index tensor and creates a mask based on the size of indices_per_head. Then it modifies the indices in the copy that correspond to True in the mask to be equal to pad_idx.

QK Sparse Attention Function

The qk_sparse_attention function is part of the dynamic sparse attention mechanism. It is used when sparsity_mode is set to 'qk'. This function implements the qk-sparse attention mechanism and requires that the q_keep and k_keep parameters are of type float.

It first builds compact representations of the query, key, and value tensors using the compact function. It then pads the index tensors using the pad_index function. The tensors are then transposed for compatibility with the kernel. Finally, the function calls the qk_sparse_attention_kernel function and scatters the resulting tensor back into the original dimension space.

Hash Sparse Attention Function

The hash_sparse_attention function is part of the dynamic sparse attention mechanism. It is used when sparsity_mode is set to 'hash'. This function implements the hash-sparse attention mechanism.

The function takes the same input parameters as qk_sparse_attention. However, instead of q_keep and k_keep parameters, the hash_sparse_attention function requires q_bucket_idx and k_bucket_idx which represent bucket indices for queries and keys respectively.

The hash_sparse_attention function first sorts the query, key, and value tensors based on the bucket indices using the sort_bucketed_attention function. Then it builds compact representations of the sorted query, key, and value tensors using the compact function. It then pads the index tensors using the pad_index function.

The tensors are then transposed for compatibility with the kernel. The function then calls the hash_sparse_attention_kernel function and scatters the resulting tensor back into the original dimension space.

Sort Bucketed Attention Function

The sort_bucketed_attention function is a helper function used in hash_sparse_attention. It sorts the input tensors based on the given bucket indices.

The function parameters are:

qkv: Query, Key, Value tensors of shape (BATCH, N_CTX, H, D_HEAD)
qkv_bucket_idx: Bucket indices for queries, keys, and values of shape (BATCH, N_CTX, H)

The function first sorts the qkv_bucket_idx tensor and gets the sorted indices. Then it sorts the qkv tensors using the sorted indices. It also expands qkv_bucket_idx to be the same shape as qkv for compatibility.

QK Sparse Attention Kernel Function

The qk_sparse_attention_kernel function is a kernel function used in qk_sparse_attention. It calculates the weighted sum of values based on the softmax of the query and key product.

The function parameters are:

q: Query tensor of shape (BATCH, N_CTX_Q, H, D_HEAD)
k: Key tensor of shape (BATCH, N_CTX_KV, H, D_HEAD)
v: Value tensor of shape (BATCH, N_CTX_KV, H, D_HEAD)
sm_scale: Normalization constant, 1/sqrt(D_HEAD) unless specified.

Hash Sparse Attention Kernel Function

The hash_sparse_attention_kernel function is a kernel function used in hash_sparse_attention. It works similarly to qk_sparse_attention_kernel but handles bucketing for hash-sparse attention.

The function parameters are the same as those of qk_sparse_attention_kernel. However, q, k, and v have been sorted and compacted based on the bucket indices.

The kernel computes the product of the query and key, scales it by sm_scale, applies softmax to get the weights, and then calculates the weighted sum of the values.

Please note that this is a general interpretation of the documentation, and understanding and modifying these functions in practice may require in-depth knowledge of sparse attention mechanisms and deep learning principles.

Example Usage

The following example demonstrates how to use the BlockwiseParallelJax class.

# Initialize

import jax.numpy as jnp
from agora_ai_transformer.models import BlockwiseParallelJax

# Initialize transformer block
block = BlockwiseParallelJax(
    q_chunk_size=64,
    k_chunk_size=64,
    hidden_size=768,
    num_heads=12,
    rotary_dim=64,
    intermediate_size=3072,
)

# Create a batch of input tensors
key = random.PRNGKey(0)
batch_size = 8
sequence_length = 128
hidden_states = random.normal(key, (batch_size, sequence_length, block.hidden_size))

# Create attention mask
attention_mask = jnp.ones((batch_size, 1, 1, sequence_length))

# Create position ids
position_ids = jnp.arange(sequence_length)[None, :]

# Forward pass
output = block.forward(hidden_states, attention_mask, position_ids)

print(output.shape)  # prints: (8, 128, 768)

Landmark Attention

Class `FusedLandmarkAttention`

This is a PyTorch Function class that encapsulates the forward and backward functions of the Fused Landmark Attention mechanism.

`forward(ctx, q, k, v, n_prefix_q, sm_scale, block_size)`

This function performs the forward pass of the Fused Landmark Attention.

Parameters:

ctx: An object to which we can save variables for use in the backward pass. Provided by PyTorch's autograd system.
q: The queries tensor. It is assumed to be contiguous, and its shape should be (batch, nheads, seqlen_q, d).
k: The keys tensor. It is assumed to be contiguous, and its shape should match q's shape, i.e., (batch, nheads, seqlen_k, d).
v: The values tensor. It is assumed to be contiguous, and its shape should match q's and k's shapes, i.e., (batch, nheads, seqlen_k, d).
n_prefix_q: The number of prefixes in the queries.
sm_scale: The scaling factor used in the softmax operation.
block_size: The block size for performing block-wise operations.

Returns:

o: The output tensor from the forward pass of the Fused Landmark Attention mechanism.

`backward(ctx, do)`

This function performs the backward pass of the Fused Landmark Attention, i.e., it calculates the gradients.

Parameters:

ctx: An object from which we can retrieve variables saved in the forward pass. Provided by PyTorch's autograd system.
do: The gradient of the loss with respect to the output of the forward function.

Returns:

A tuple containing the gradients of the loss with respect to the inputs to the forward function, in the same order as they were provided in. If a certain input does not require gradient, its corresponding gradient will be None.

Function `fused_landmark_attention(q, k, v, is_mem, sm_scale=None, block_size=64)`

This function is a convenient wrapper for the FusedLandmarkAttention class.

Parameters:

q: The queries tensor.
k: The keys tensor.
v: The values tensor.
is_mem: A boolean tensor indicating whether each key-value pair should be treated as memory. It should have the same length as the sequence length of the keys.
sm_scale: The scaling factor used in the softmax operation. If None, it will be set to 1.0 / sqrt(d).
block_size: The block size for performing block-wise operations.

Returns:

The output tensor from the forward pass of the Fused Landmark Attention mechanism.

Example:

Here is a basic example of how to use fused_landmark_attention function.

import torch
from your_module import fused_landmark_attention

# Initialize some tensors
batch = 8
nheads = 12
seqlen = 128
d = 64
q = torch.randn(batch, nheads, seqlen, d)
k = torch.randn(batch, nheads, seqlen, d)
v = torch.randn(batch, nheads, seqlen, d)
is_mem = torch.zeros(seqlen, dtype=torch.bool)

# Call the function
output = fused_landmark_attention(q, k, v, is_mem)

print(output.shape)  # prints: (8, 12, 128, 64)

This example first initializes some tensors to serve as the queries, keys

, and values. Then it calls the fused_landmark_attention function and prints the shape of the output tensor.
