📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR expands Metal support with BF16-aware code generation and vectorization, local and fragment reductions, simdgroup synchronization tracking, host-driven multi-kernel execution, explicit capacity dimensions, conditional cast masks, and MPS regression tests. ChangesMetal backend and runtime
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The PR changes Metal synchronization and conditional staging, but the current implementation can omit required barriers for overlapping tiled accesses or change branch predicates before conditional writes. Either issue could produce incorrect kernel results, so the PR is not merge-ready until these correctness risks are fixed and covered by regression tests. Possibly related issues

Add Metal T.reduce lowering, tile-aware synchronization, legal bf16 code generation and vectorization, and a host-call-driven eager adapter. Harden multi-kernel launch ordering, packed runtime-scalar ABI handling, dynamic output/workspace allocation, capacity-dimension validation, and asynchronous tensor lifetime. Add real-MPS regressions for reduction domains, argument binding, multi-runtime scalars, bf16 GEMM, simdgroup tile synchronization, and DecoupleTypeCast conditional staging.

- Around line 920-928: Restrict the bfloat16 broadcast branch in the
type-printing logic to lanes equal to 4 or 8, replacing the broader even-lane
condition. Preserve the existing generated representation for supported widths
and ensure unsupported widths such as bf16x6 fall through instead of emitting a
mismatched uint vector type.
In `@src/metal/op/reduce.cc`:
- Around line 250-302: Guard the reduction validation block before power-of-two
testing and any modulo or division by adding an explicit nt > 0 condition based
on thread_step.extent and thread_step.scale. Ensure zero or negative nt enters
the existing fatal diagnostic without evaluating N % nt or nt / 2, while
preserving the current checks for valid positive widths.
In `@src/transform/thread_storage_sync.cc`:
- Around line 1336-1346: Update the tile-access metadata flow around
pending_tile_rows_ and pending_tile_cols_ to also retain the operation’s row
stride from the simdgroup_store/simdgroup_load arguments, such as in a
pending_tile_stride_ member. In the touched-range calculation, compute the
linear span as (rows minus one) times the stride plus columns instead of rows
times columns, so the bounding interval covers padded-stride tiles.
- Around line 1815-1821: Update FindConflict’s tile-to-tile write-after-write
handling so overlapping tile footprints still report a conflict, while
preserving the no-conflict result for provably disjoint tiles; alternatively,
add an overlapping T.simdgroup_store regression case in
test_metal_threadsync_simdgroup_store.py that verifies a barrier is required.
In `@testing/python/metal/test_metal_adapter_codex_p1b.py`:
- Around line 41-51: Gate both Metal test modules on MPS availability using the
repository’s established module-level skip convention: add the skip next to the
MPS device binding in testing/python/metal/test_metal_adapter_codex_p1b.py at
lines 41-51, and after imports in testing/python/metal/test_metal_arg_binding.py
at lines 20-25. Ensure both modules skip cleanly on hosts without an MPS
backend.
Apply the same fix in
`@testing/python/metal/test_metal_threadsync_simdgroup_store.py` around lines 197
- 207: The fourth static test has the same collection-time MPS dependency.
In `@testing/python/metal/test_metal_bf16_gemm_qwen.py`:
- Around line 74-78: Update the np.load call that opens pack_path in the fixture
setup to disable pickle deserialization by using the safe default loader, while
preserving the existing numeric-array loading behavior and skip handling.
In `@testing/python/metal/test_metal_threadsync_simdgroup_store.py`:
- Line 298: Rename the unused block-index binding from bx to an underscore in
both T.Kernel context-manager unpacking sites, including the occurrences near
the affected lines, to satisfy Ruff RUF059.
- Around line 252-253: Relax the fp32 reference comparison in the test around
_dense_gemm_frag from torch.equal to the existing MAX_ERR-based tolerance check,
since accumulation order may produce small rounding differences from MPS matmul.
Preserve the barrier-count assertion and use the staged tests’ tolerance
pattern; do not add unrelated changes.
In `@tilelang/jit/adapter/torch/metal.py`:
- Around line 1053-1068: The call-site collection in _walk_host currently stores
the shared bind_map, allowing later loop iterations to overwrite bindings used
by earlier sites. Snapshot the bindings when appending each call site by storing
a shallow copy of bind_map, while preserving the existing bind updates and later
_launch_plan resolution.
- Around line 377-390: Update the substitution map in the PrimExpr resolution
block to construct each integer replacement using the corresponding variable’s
declared dtype via str(var.dtype), for both symtab values and scalar_vars
values. Preserve the existing integer conversion and simplify/return flow while
avoiding hardcoded int32 replacements.
In `@tilelang/language/eager/builder.py`:
- Around line 1152-1158: Update annotate_capacity_dims to validate each key in
dims against the builder’s declared tensor parameter names before storing
capacity dimensions, rejecting unknown names with a clear error. Preserve the
existing phase1 early return and valid-name conversion/storage behavior, using
the imported Sequence or the builder’s existing declaration metadata as
appropriate.

TVM tir PrimFunc Python __name__ attribute global_symbol attrs
💡 Result:
In Apache TVM, the global_symbol, name, and attrs components serve distinct roles in the lifecycle and metadata management of a PrimFunc [1][2][3]. 1. global_symbol: This attribute (defined by tvm::attr::kGlobalSymbol = "global_symbol") acts as the global linker symbol for a function in the generated code [1]. It allows the code generator to name the function specifically so that it can be referenced by name in a generated DLL or runtime module [1]. By default, T.prim_func often assigns the function's name as its global_symbol unless it is explicitly marked as private [4][5]. Private functions do not have a global_symbol attribute, which permits the compiler to freely rename or optimize them without conflicting with external references [4][1][5]. 2. name attribute: This is a Python-side attribute added to PrimFunc and IRModule objects, primarily for improved user experience [6][7]. It is used to store the name of the function or module as a hint within the Python environment [6][7]. Crucially, this attribute does not affect the underlying Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) or the generated code; it is purely metadata for debugging and introspection in Python [6][7]. 3. attrs: The attrs field in a PrimFunc is an instance of DictAttrs (or tvm.ir.Attrs) that stores various function-level metadata [2][8][3]. This includes properties like calling_conv (calling convention), target (compilation target), and specialized TIR attributes (e.g., tir.noalias or global_symbol) [1][9]. You can manipulate these attributes programmatically using methods like with_attr or get_attr on the PrimFunc object [8]. In summary, global_symbol manages linker-level naming [1], name provides Python-level identification for user convenience [6], and attrs is the general-purpose container for all function-level metadata [2][3].

Rename the I parameters to satisfy Ruff E741.
Ruff flags I as an ambiguous variable name in all three kernels. Lint runs in pre-commit, so this blocks the checks. Rename the parameter and its uses.

Problem
This PR improves local Metal inference for recent open-source models that can run on current Apple silicon Macs, including Qwen dense, Qwen MoE, and DeepSeek V4 Flash. TileLang's CUDA and ROCm backends commonly serve multi-GPU deployments, while Mac usage is usually local and single-user. This work therefore focuses on the Metal kernels and runtime paths most important to these models: reductions, dense and quantized GEMM, MoE routing and fusion, bf16 code generation, synchronization, and argument binding.
T.reducehad no Metal lowering, so kernels containing fragment or local reductions could not compile for Apple GPUs.The Metal eager adapter had correctness gaps around
SplitHostDeviceargument order, multi-kernel modules, host call-site ordering, dynamically shaped outputs, generated workspaces, asynchronous tensor lifetime, and the packed ABI for multiple runtime scalar arguments.ThreadSyncPlannermodeledsimdgroup_storeandsimdgroup_loadpointer arguments as single-element accesses. It could therefore omit a required barrier between a staged tile write and a cross-simdgroup read.Wide bf16 vectors were represented as packed integer carriers. When such a carrier reached arithmetic, comparison, min/max, or a numeric cast, MSL could operate on the integer bits instead of bf16 values. MSL also cannot represent register bf16 vectors wider than
bfloat2.DecoupleTypeCastguarded conditional write-back by re-evaluating the original branch expression. An earlier write-back could mutate a buffer read by that expression, change its truth value, and copy an uninitialized cast local to memory.Root cause
Metal registered no target-specific
ReduceImpl, and its synchronization model cannot directly reuse CUDA named-barrier behavior.The adapter bound arguments from surface parameter order instead of the lowered host call sites and packed-ABI slot chain. PyTorch binds each positional shader argument at a separate Metal buffer index, while TileLang's generated MSL places every runtime scalar in one 8-byte-slot
args_tbuffer; passing two Python scalars separately therefore lost the second scalar without an error.ThreadSync consumed the base pointer without preserving the enclosing simdgroup tile descriptor, access direction, or complete tile footprint.
Packed bf16 was treated as a general vector representation instead of a bit carrier restricted to pure memory movement, while vectorization planning did not enforce Metal's two-lane bf16 register limit.
Conditional stores preserved an expression describing the path rather than state recording whether the compute-stage store actually executed.

Mac14,2, Apple M2, 16 GB, macOS 15.6.1 (24G90), PyTorch 2.13.0, MPS available.Scope
The correctness and performance work in this PR targets the direct MSL/simdgroup execution path used on Apple M1 through M4 GPUs. Apple maps M1, M2, and M3/M4 to GPU families Apple7, Apple8, and Apple9 respectively in the Metal feature set tables.
M5 introduces a Neural Accelerator in each GPU shader core. Apple's TensorOps path can use that accelerator and supports quantized tensor formats including 4-bit and 8-bit floating point. This PR does not implement or benchmark the M5 Neural Accelerator/TensorOps/FP8 path, so its performance results should not be generalized to M5. See Apple's Metal tensors and TensorOps session.
The reduce implementation supports
T.reduceplans that satisfy the enforced Metal execution-domain checks. It does not add a MetalFinalizeReducerOpimplementation for deferred Reducer v2 epochs, cross-simdgroup butterfly exchange, non-power-of-two participation widths, or misaligned threadgroup extents.Adapter changes are limited to the Metal torch execution path.
T.annotate_capacity_dimsis an explicit contract for the eager DSL.Vectorization restrictions are gated on the Metal target. CUDA, ROCm, and CPU code generation are not intentionally changed.
