ggml_cuda_should_use_mmq() selects MMQ purely from the quantization
type. The current MMQ configurations are designed and maintained against
a minimum of 48 KiB per-block shared memory, the limit provided by
NVIDIA Pascal GPUs and later. On devices that report less, no supported
MMQ tile fits and mul_mat_q_switch_J() aborts when every tile size
exceeds the device's per-block shared memory budget.
Disable MMQ when smpbo < 48 KiB so the caller falls back to the BLAS
path instead of hitting GGML_ABORT. Some current MUSA QY1 devices
report only 28 KiB and are covered by this guard.
Reproduced on a Moore Threads MTT S70 (arch mp_21, 28 KiB shared memory
per block) with an RWKV-7 0.1B Q8_0 model:
$ llama-bench -m rwkv7-g1d-0.1b-Q8_0.gguf -p 128 -n 0
J_best=0
ggml/src/ggml-cuda/template-instances/../mmq.cuh:1521: fatal error
(core dumped)
Only prefill (batch > 1) is affected; token generation is fine. After
the fix the same device falls back to the BLAS path:
Q8_0 pp128 1470.7 t/s, tg8 55.3 t/s (was: abort)
FP16 unchanged
Q4_K_M unchanged
This matches a -DGGML_CUDA_FORCE_CUBLAS=ON build (pp128 1464.2 t/s),
which confirms the fallback path is the one being taken.
This is not MUSA-specific: any device with less than 48 KiB per-block
shared memory is affected.

* compiler massaging to avoid unnecessary LDCs
* kvalues_mxfp4 -> kvalues_nvfp4 in quantize_mmq_nvfp4
* Always pass in src1_scale.ptr
* Extract ggml_cuda_is_aligned helper
* CUDA: dedup MoE gate/up activation quantization (fp4)
For MoE gate/up projections the src1 activation is broadcast across the
routed experts (ne11 == 1), so ids_src1 maps every one of a token's
n_expert_used slots to the same physical row. The MMQ path therefore
re-quantized each token's activation n_expert_used times.
For fp4 (NVFP4/MXFP4) src0, quantize each unique token row once instead of
once per expert. For NVFP4 a single quantize+scatter kernel
(quantize_scatter_mmq_nvfp4) quantizes each token once and writes the
resulting block_fp4_mmq straight to all n_expert_used slots, using an
inverse token->compact-row map (build_tok2c). MXFP4, and
GGML_CUDA_MOE_QUANT_GATHER=1, use a two-kernel variant: quantize unique
rows then gather into the expert-sorted layout (gather_mmq_fp4_blocks).
Both are bit-identical to the previous gather-then-quantize path (identical
source data, deterministic per-block quantization), verified by
test-backend-ops MUL_MAT_ID (type_a=nvfp4, broadcast b=1; 790/790 for the
default, gather, and per-expert paths) and by coherent end-to-end
generation. Set GGML_CUDA_NO_MOE_QUANT_DEDUP=1 to force the original
per-expert path.
Same-binary A/B on RTX 5090 (sm_120), Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-NVFP4 prefill @8192
(nsys, graphs-off; the unchanged mul_mat_q GEMM confirms stable clocks):
activation-quant GPU-busy drops 61% (78.2 -> 30.4 ms) with the fused
quantize+scatter, vs 33% (78.2 -> 52.8 ms) for the two-kernel gather. The
fused path avoids materializing and re-reading the 8x compact buffer,
writing the expert copies directly from registers.
* CUDA: bounds-check token ids in build_tok2c_kernel
Guard against malformed ids_src1: skip out-of-range token ids (t < 0 or
t >= n_tokens) and drop entries beyond n_expert_used per token instead of
writing past the token's tok2c region. No behavior change for valid MoE
routing data; test-backend-ops MUL_MAT_ID 790/790.
* Refactor the code based on review comments
- Removed previously added kernels that were not necessary anymore\
- Added an inverse mapping from (token, slot) to compact row. Each token is quantized once and scattered to its compact rows.
* Adding q8_1 support for dedup and addressing review comments
* Add pragma unrolls
* Remove redundant cudaMemsetAsync call
* Removing follow up redundancies

This reverts commit b39ed57c4529906466bd0bc7c2a86e08fc2f8bee.
This commit adds support for MFMA instructions to MMQ. CDNA1/GFX908 CDNA2/GFX90a and CDNA3/GFX942 are supported by the MFMA-enabled code path added by this commit. The code path and stream-k is only enabled on CDNA3 for now as it fails to outperform blas in all cases on the other devices.
Blas is currently only consistently outperformed on CDNA3 due to issues in the amd-provided blas libraries.
This commit also improves the awareness of MMQ towards different warp sizes and as a side effect improves the performance of all quant formats besides q4_0 and q4_1, which regress slightly, on GCN gpus.
