Stack from ghstack (oldest at bottom):

Materializing the full attention-weight matrix for Llama prefill is memory- and
bandwidth-heavy and does not scale to longer sequences. This adds a single-pass
online-softmax K16 causal-attention kernel for the exact Llama Hq32/Hkv8/G4/D64
geometry with fp16 KV, guarded by explicit adapter limits, so accepted prefill
shapes through S512 never materialize attention weights. S1 keeps the existing
FlashDecoding path, and unsupported geometry, storage, or capabilities fall back
to the materialized implementation. No Vulkan analogue (WebGPU-specific): the
Vulkan backend has only a materialized attention (compute the weights, then a
separate multi-pass softmax), with no online-softmax kernel.

Key changes:

  • runtime/ops/sdpa/streaming_attention_k16_causal_bound.wgsl (+ generated
    header): the online-softmax single-pass causal kernel.
  • Sdpa.cpp: exact Llama geometry and capability guards, S512 transition
    handling, and fallback to the materialized route.
