mukesh 694e0cc9b9 paper(gqa): add 6-case per-PE memory + comm summary chart
Analytical plot generator + PNG covering the 4 sharding cases from
slide 17 plus the 2 d_head-TP variants (Cases 4, 5). Three panels:
per-PE HBM budget breakdown (Wq + Wk + Wv + Wo + 4.24 GB KV
headroom), per-PE KV memory at S_kv=1M, and per-PE communication
per output token (decode). Numbers match slide 17 (max KV context
~7.1M for the 64-way sharded cases).

"""GQA 4-cases (+ 2 d_head-TP variants) — combined memory + comm summary.
Single PNG with two panels side-by-side:
(left) Per-PE KV memory at S_kv = 1 M tokens (across 80 layers).
(right) Per-PE communication per output token at S_kv = 1 M (decode).
================================================================
SYSTEM INPUTS (LLaMA-3.1-70B single-KV-head group)
================================================================
N_layers = 80 (transformer layers per token)
h_kv = 1 (per KV group)
h_q = 8 (query heads per KV group)
d_head = 128
d_model = 8192 (LLaMA-3.1-70B hidden dim — for Wo / FFN AR)
bytes = 2 (FP16)
C = 8 cubes per KV group P = 8 PEs per cube
HBM_per_PE = 6.0 GB
Attn weights = 1.76 GB → KV headroom = 4.24 GB / PE
B = 1 user S_q = 1 token (decode)
================================================================
(1) PER-PE KV MEMORY (left panel)
================================================================
KV bytes per token across all 80 layers, single KV group:
KV/tok = 2 (K+V) · h_kv · d_head · bytes · N_layers
= 2 · 1 · 128 · 2 · 80
= 40 KB / token
Per-PE share = KV/tok ÷ divisor, where divisor depends on the K/V
tensor placement (NOT on the compute-side label):
Case 1 Cube-SP × PE-replicate divisor = C = 8
Case 1' Cube-SP × PE-TP (on d_head) divisor = C·P = 64
Case 2 Cube-Repl × PE-replicate divisor = 1 = 1
Case 3 Cube-Repl × PE-SP divisor = P = 8
Case 3' Cube-TP × PE-SP divisor = C·P = 64
Case 4 Cube-SP × PE-SP ★ divisor = C·P = 64
Per-PE bytes @ S_kv = 1 M = KV/tok · 1 M / divisor:
Case 1 → 5.0 GB ✗ (exceeds 4.24 GB headroom)
Case 1' → 640 MB ✓
Case 2 → 40.0 GB ✗
Case 3 → 5.0 GB ✗
Case 3' → 640 MB ✓
Case 4 → 640 MB ✓
Max KV context per PE = 4.24 GB · 1024² / (KV/tok ÷ divisor):
Case 1, 3 : 889 K tokens
Case 1', 3', 4 : 7.11 M tokens ✓
Case 2 : 111 K tokens
================================================================
(2) PER-PE COMMUNICATION (right panel)
================================================================
(A) WEIGHT AllReduces (constant across all cases)
Wo AR ≈ 8 KB / layer / PE (Wq replicated → AR partial Y)
FFN AR ≈ 8 KB / layer / PE
× 80 layers = 1.25 MB / token / PE (the bottom blue stack on every bar)
(B) ATTENTION-TIME collective (the differentiator)
Cases that compute partial attention locally (PE-SP / PE-repl):
Q is replicated and each rank attends to its own complete KV slice
(full d_head) → only the small (m, , O) triple needs AllReducing.
Payload (h_q · S_q · d_head · 2) ≈ 4 KB per AR step, hierarchical ≈ 32 KB / layer.
CONSTANT in S_kv.
Case 1 : inter-cube AR on (m,,O) → ~32 KB / layer
Case 2 : nothing → 0
Case 3 : intra-cube AR on (m,,O) → ~32 KB / layer
Case 4 ★ : intra + inter-cube AR on (m,,O) → ~64 KB / layer
d_head-TP variants (1', 3'):
Each rank holds only d_head/divisor dims → Q·K^T produces only
partial sums → must AR PARTIAL SCORES before softmax. The score
tile per AR is (h_q · S_q · S_kv / slices_for_seq) · 2 bytes,
which SCALES with S_kv.
Case 1' : intra-cube partial-score AR
payload = h_q · S_q · (S_kv/C) · 2 = 2 MB / layer at 1 M
Case 3' : inter-cube partial-score AR (UCIe, slower than NoC)
payload = h_q · S_q · (S_kv/P) · 2 = 2 MB / layer at 1 M
Plus tiny (m,,O) AR for both 1' and 3' to combine partial attentions
across the remaining axis (~32 KB / layer).
(C) Total per output token per PE (sum over 80 layers, S_kv = 1 M):
Case 1 ≈ 4 MB (1.25 MB Wo+FFN + 2.5 MB inter-cube AR)
Case 1' ≈ 166 MB (1.25 MB + 160 MB partial-score AR + ~5 MB other)
Case 2 ≈ 1.2 MB (Wo+FFN only)
Case 3 ≈ 4 MB (1.25 MB + 2.5 MB intra-cube AR)
Case 3' ≈ 166 MB (1.25 MB + 160 MB partial-score AR + ~5 MB other)
Case 4 ★ ≈ 6 MB (1.25 MB + 5 MB 2-phase AR)
================================================================
KEY TAKEAWAYS
================================================================
- Memory winners (640 MB / PE @ 1M): Cases 1', 3', 4 (any 64-way sharding).
- Comm winner among those three: Case 4 (6 MB). Cases 1' and 3' both
pay ~160 MB because the d_head-sharded variant ARs a 2 MB partial-
score tile every layer — the score tensor scales with S_kv while
the (m, , O) triple does not.
- Cases 1 and 3 (8-way sharding) don't fit 1M context (5 GB vs 4.24 GB
headroom).
- Case 2 has the cheapest comm but the most memory (40 GB / PE).
- Case 4 ★ is the Pareto-best: fits 1M context AND lowest comm
among memory-feasible options.
