Implements shared_expert_mlp_fwd/bwd per the P5-S0 contract: every valid token runs fc1 -> one-round SwiGLU -> fc2 on BF16 frozen weights, backward returns dX only (FP32 accumulator), and the shared output stays independent of the routed path. Both backends reproduce the FP32 oracle's numeric profile oracle-fp32-serial-v1 byte-for-byte on the same device: one lane owns one output element and reduces serially in ascending k, multiply and add rounded separately (__fmul_rn/__fadd_rn on CUDA, uncontracted IEEE fp32 in Triton), sigmoid computed as 1/(1+expf(-x)) to match torch.sigmoid on FP32 CUDA tensors. No cross-lane floating-point reduction exists anywhere, so results are batch/padding invariant by construction (fwd(x)[t] == fwd(x[t:t+1]) byte-equal). The one-round SwiGLU core runs in shared mode (p_s=None, no clamp, per S0 decision D6) and is the reuse point for P5-2 (#63). Providers subclass ReferenceProvider and override only the two shared-expert methods, so the full acceptance command runs unchanged; unsupported input (non-CUDA device, missing extension or triton, foreign numeric profile) raises instead of falling back (fail-closed). Provenance records split_k=1 / serial-ascending-k / no-FMA per the P5-5 provenance requirement.

Neither tl.exp (exp2-based) nor libdevice __nv_expf bit-matches the nvcc expf inside torch.sigmoid (~45% / ~10% of fp32 values differ by 1 ulp); the tiny fixtures passed only because the BF16 round absorbed the difference, and the T=256 benchmark cross-check caught the divergence. The Triton path now takes torch.sigmoid(gate) as a kernel input and fuses the remaining SwiGLU math; a (256, 1024, 512) cross-backend byte-equality test locks the regression in.

…ct path Adds two explicitly-selected performance providers that keep the P5-5 round positions (fc1 output and dX stay FP32; y/dh round once to BF16) and swap only the GEMM reduction order, per review feedback on #387: - shared-expert-cuda-det (p5-det-gemm-v1): reuses det_gemm_kernel.cu (fixed K-order, no split-K; TMA+mma.sync on SM90+, scalar K-tree fallback elsewhere) through two new FP32-output wrappers that expose the existing gemm_dispatch output_fp32 path. - shared-expert-triton-det (p5-triton-dot-v1): tl.dot with fixed 64x64x32 tiles, ascending-k, no autotune and no split-K. Both are deterministic and batch-invariant but not byte-equal to oracle-fp32-serial-v1; selecting them by provider name is the explicit opt-in, and the strict providers remain the oracle-parity gate. New tests pin repeat-run byte-equality, per-row batch invariance, and closeness to the oracle; the benchmark now reports all four backends. Signed-off-by: Yizheng Jiao <jyizheng@gmail.com>
det_gemm merges K with a BF16 mid-split tree (its TP-equivalence design), so its deviation from the FP32-serial oracle is BF16-tree-sized; the tl.dot path keeps FP32 accumulators and only carries reduction-order noise. Each provider now declares its own closeness tolerance instead of sharing one number. Signed-off-by: Yizheng Jiao <jyizheng@gmail.com>

Handle empty dimensions before CUDA dispatch.
The shared-batch contract permits T == 0. Both new entry points then call gemm_dispatch with M == 0, which launches a kernel with a zero-sized grid.
Return the allocated empty tensor before kernel selection. Also return a zero-filled tensor for K == 0; the SM90 path otherwise reaches its store with no initialized reduction value.

Require one CUDA device for every shared-expert operand.
SharedBatch.validate() checks shapes and dtypes, but not devices. Triton and deterministic CUDA receivers also do not enforce device equality. Therefore, mixed-device weights or backward dy can reach kernel pointer use and cause a CUDA launch or illegal-memory failure.
In _check_batch, require batch.x, batch.w_fc1, and batch.w_fc2 to use batch.x.device. In shared_expert_mlp_bwd, apply the same check to dy and saved z before dispatch.

…5 oracle
P5-1: MXFP8 activation quantization (OCP E4M3 elements, block-32 E8M0
shared scales) plus the straight-through backward, in both CUDA and Triton.
Both backends reproduce rl_engine.moe.mx_format.mx_quantize byte for byte, so
they keep the oracle numeric profile (oracle-fp32-serial-v1) instead of
registering a relaxed one:
the block amax is an integer max over |x| bit patterns, floor(log2) is read
off the FP32 exponent field after the FLT_MIN clamp (exact integer
equivalent of the oracle's frexp path), the scale is assembled from its bit
pattern so code 0 lands on the subnormal 2**-127, and the division is an
explicit non-.ftz div.rn.f32 / tl.fdiv(ieee_rounding=True). Nothing on the
subnormal-sensitive path can be flushed by --use_fast_math; a fast-math build
is a regression test. E4M3 encoding is clamp-then-RNE (start-kit decision
D1), which is what cvt.rn.satfinite.e4m3 does in hardware.
Determinism: the amax reduction is row-local over a fixed 32-element window and
every element is then transformed independently, so the bytes do not depend on
grid shape, block size, or how many rows are in flight.
Non-finite input is fail-closed in both backends and in the providers (P5-1 spec s4);
the STE backward accepts any floating dtype (P5-1 spec s2).
Providers live in rl_engine/moe/backends/mxfp8_act_quant.py, following the
backends package P5-5 introduced. scripts/check_p5.py --device cuda passes
byte-equal on every boundary for both {Cuda,Triton}MXFP8ActQuantProvider,
with act_quant1.*/act_quant2.* hashed and act_quant_bwd noted as "ste".
Two outside MX implementations are byte-identical to these kernels and are
asserted as tests when installed: torchao's to_mx (FLOOR) and the Triton repo's
triton_kernels.downcast_to_mxfp (ROUND_DOWN), the quantizer vLLM runs for its
MXFP4 path. The benchmark measures against both, against vLLM's production
per_token_group_quant_fp8 CUDA kernel (a different format: group 128, FP32
scale), and against a plain fp8 cast as the memory-bandwidth lower bound. On
H100 the kernels reach 2.99 TB/s at 16384x7168, at that bound.
The CUDA wrapper prefers the compiled rl_engine._C symbols and otherwise
JIT-builds the single .cu file, so the tests and the benchmark run in a source
tree without a full extension build (RL_KERNEL_P5_DISABLE_JIT=1 to require AOT).

…nd past 2**31 elements The benchmark shapes (4096x7168 and 16384x7168, bf16 and fp32, random exponents over 2**+-60) were only timed before; they are now asserted byte-equal against the oracle, at ~0.2 s each. A 2**31-element bf16 input (262144 x 8192) checks that the Triton kernel's int64 element offsets do not wrap: the oracle cannot run at that size, so rows at the start, middle and far end of the tensor are compared with their standalone quantization, which the row-local contract requires to be identical. Skipped when the device has less than ~7 GiB free. Signed-off-by: Ryan Huang <ryankert01@gmail.com>
…indings - Providers resolve their backend once in __init__ and raise NotImplementedError when it is unavailable, matching the other P5 providers and what scripts/check_p5.py renders as a FAIL row; the per-call import and the _Ops bag are gone, and the recorded linkage is the one that resolved. - The CUDA wrapper resolves rl_engine._C or the JIT module once per process and refuses the JIT fallback under RL_KERNEL_REQUIRE_EXT=1 (the repo's existing "extension must be present" switch, set by the GPU CI) instead of a new flag. - Input gates and the fail-closed read-back live in rl_engine/kernels/ops/moe_common.py, shared by both backends; rl_engine/moe/mx_format.py is back to defining only the format. - The non-finite check is derived from the block amax bit pattern (inf/NaN >= 0x7F800000) instead of a second full reduction, in both kernels; bytes are unchanged. - csrc/ops.cpp binds the _cuda entry points directly, as the sibling P5 ops do; the six load_vec specializations collapse to one template with a 16-bit converter; rl_engine.moe no longer re-exports the providers (the backends package is the registry). - Tests: the --use_fast_math build uses torch's build cache instead of a fresh tmp_path per session (~50 s saved per run); one _wide_range generator. - Benchmark: dead _speedup helper removed; one byte-equality check.

Document the staged status of this source. The P5 workflow allows a sub-issue to leave operators on the oracle until that sub-issue delivers the backend, and provider.py still marks P5-4 as a TODO. The missing build entry and binding are therefore not a current callable-backend defect.
However, the header documents KERNEL_ALIGN_MOE_SM90=1, while setup.py neither reads that flag nor includes this source. A developer following the header may expect that flag to enable the path, but it cannot. State in the header that this source is staged and not yet included or bound.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Add trailing WGMMA accumulator fences before the reads. Before integrating this staged path, add warpgroup_fence_operand(partial); after warpgroup_wait<0>(); in the forward kernel, and add warpgroup_fence_operand(accum); after warpgroup_wait<0>(); and before __syncthreads(); in the backward kernel. warpgroup_wait provides a memory clobber but no accumulator-register dependency. Without the operand fence, accumulator reads can be reordered relative to asynchronous WGMMA completion and produce incorrect results.

Skip only when the JIT toolchain is unavailable.
_HAS_CUDA_BACKEND can be true because the AOT symbols work. The separate torch.utils.cpp_extension.load call still requires nvcc and ninja. This can fail when those tools are absent, including under RL_KERNEL_REQUIRE_EXT=1.
Do not catch all RuntimeError or OSError values. That would hide genuine source compilation failures. Check for the required tools before calling load, and let compilation errors propagate.

the test with a clear message when either tool is unavailable, while allowing
genuine load compilation errors to propagate. Update the imports and setup

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
The memory gate under-counts the input construction.
need budgets 2 bytes per element for x, but torch.randn(...) * 3.0 holds the randn result and the product at the same time, so the peak is 8 GiB of bf16 instead of 4 GiB. The 1 GiB slack does not cover the extra 4 GiB, so the gate can pass and the test can then fail with an out-of-memory error. Multiply in place.
🧪 Proposed fix
- x = torch.randn(rows, cols, device=DEV, dtype=torch.bfloat16) * 3.0
+ x = torch.randn(rows, cols, device=DEV, dtype=torch.bfloat16).mul_(3.0)📝 Committable suggestion

What
P5-S0start kit for the P5 work package (MXFP4 Routed Expert + LoRA + Shared Expert).It ships the contract, the reference answers, and the checker — no GPU kernels. With this merged, all 9 sub-tasks (P5-1 … P5-9) can start in parallel: everyone codes against the same frozen math and the same golden bytes.

Every boundary must be byte-equal to the oracle on the same device. Any mismatch prints the first diverging boundary and exits 1. Put this output in your PR description.
4. If a contract decision changes (needs maintainer sign-off first):
