vllm.v1.attention.backends.triton_attn_diffkv ¶
Triton attention backend with different K/V head dimensions (DiffKV).
The KV cache layout is identical to FlashAttentionDiffKVBackend — K and V are packed along the last dim:
[num_blocks, block_size, num_kv_heads, head_size_qk + head_size_v]
so existing helpers (triton_reshape_and_cache_flash_diffkv) are reused.
Classes:
-
TritonAttentionDiffKVImpl–Triton attention impl for the DiffKV packed KV cache layout.
-
TritonAttentionDiffKVMetadataBuilder–Override the parent's softmax buffer last-dim to head_size_v.
TritonAttentionDiffKVImpl ¶
Bases: TritonAttentionImpl

TritonAttentionDiffKVMetadataBuilder ¶
Bases: TritonAttentionMetadataBuilder
Override the parent's softmax buffer last-dim to head_size_v.
The parent allocates softmax_segm_output with last-dim sized to next_power_of_2(head_size) (== Q/K head size). For DiffKV the accumulator and per-segment partial outputs are V-shaped, so we re-allocate with next_power_of_2(head_size_v) instead.
