Dev Engineer Review

The PR reorganizes the 16 MoE Torch operation sources into backend- and role-specific directories. CMake adds discovered .cpp files to the existing th_common target with CONFIGURE_DEPENDS; no new target is introduced.

The PR updates include paths, documented source paths, and casebook references. Torch registration and target membership remain unchanged. The main risk is an incorrect moved-source or include path. A full wheel build was reported as locally verified.

QA Engineer Review

tests/unittest/_torch/moe/test_moe_module.py changes source-reference comments only. Existing tests cover single-GPU, multi-GPU, routing-bias, and EPLB behavior. No test-list changes or test results were supplied. CI-list membership cannot be confirmed from the supplied results. Coverage verdict: needs follow-up.

Per-File QA Perspective

  • .claude/skills/perf-optimization-casebook/references/communication/low-precision-dispatch.md: Updates communication prior-art paths. Verify that the referenced files exist.
  • .claude/skills/perf-optimization-casebook/references/kernel-and-fusion/fold-scale-swizzle-into-kernel.md: Updates CUTLASS prior-art paths. Verify the references.
  • .claude/skills/perf-optimization-casebook/references/kernel-and-fusion/hw-matched-lowprec-moe-gemm.md: Updates Hopper and CUTLASS paths. Verify the references.
  • .claude/skills/perf-optimization-casebook/references/kernel-and-fusion/trtllm-gen-fp4-moe-backend.md: Updates TRTLLM-Gen paths. Verify the references.
  • cpp/tensorrt_llm/nanobind/thop/bindings.cpp: Updates the all-to-all metadata include. Verify nanobind compilation.
  • cpp/tensorrt_llm/thop/CMakeLists.txt: Delegates MoE source collection to the moe subdirectory. Verify that each source enters th_common once.
  • cpp/tensorrt_llm/thop/moe/CMakeLists.txt: Recursively adds MoE .cpp files to th_common. Verify source discovery and reconfiguration behavior.
  • cpp/tensorrt_llm/thop/moe/communication/: Relocates communication operations and metadata. Verify multi-GPU communication compilation and behavior.
  • cpp/tensorrt_llm/thop/moe/cuteDsl/cuteDslMoeUtilsOp.cpp: Relocates the CuTe DSL utility operation. Verify registration and execution.
  • cpp/tensorrt_llm/thop/moe/cutlass/moeOp.cpp: Relocates the primary CUTLASS registration block. Verify registration and dispatch.
  • cpp/tensorrt_llm/thop/moe/loadBalance/moeLoadBalanceOp.cpp: Relocates load-balancing operations. Verify EPLB behavior.
  • cpp/tensorrt_llm/thop/moe/marlin/marlinNvfp4MoeMM.cpp: Relocates the Marlin operation. Verify Marlin dispatch.
  • cpp/tensorrt_llm/thop/moe/routing/: Relocates routing operations. Verify routing outputs and error paths.
  • cpp/tensorrt_llm/thop/moe/trtllmGen/: Relocates quantized TRTLLM-Gen operations. Verify backend dispatch.
  • cpp/tensorrt_llm/thop/moe/utils/: Relocates shared utility operations. Verify alignment and utility registration.
  • tensorrt_llm/_torch/auto_deploy/custom_ops/fused_moe/load_moe_align.py: Updates a documented AOT binding path. No runtime behavior change is expected.
  • tensorrt_llm/_torch/moe/fused_moe/MOE_DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md: Updates the C++ file map. Verify that documented paths match the source tree.
  • tests/unittest/_torch/moe/test_moe_module.py: Updates routing source comments only. Existing MoE behavior coverage remains unchanged.

Description

Follow-up to #19061: group the 16 files of cpp/tensorrt_llm/thop/moe/ into
sub-directories named after kernels/moe/ (cutlass/ trtllmGen/ cuteDsl/ communication/ loadBalance/ routing/ utils/) plus marlin/ for the MoE-only
Marlin op. Position changes only: 15 × R100, 1 × R099 (one include line),
15 th_common source paths, 2 includes, 7 path literals and the developer
guide. No per-directory CMake target; torch.ops.trtllm registration table,
th_common membership and CODEOWNERS owners are unchanged.

Not in this PR: the thop communication ops have never been in the multi-GPU CI
trigger list (relatedFileList); left as is, same class as the gap fixed for
kernels/moe/communication/ in #19061.

Test Coverage

Pure move; existing tests/unittest/_torch/thop/{parallel,serial}/*moe* and
tests/unittest/bindings/test_bindings_moe.py cover the ops. Full wheel build
verified locally (th_common relinks).

Move moeOp.cpp to thop/moe/cutlass/, the four TRTLLM-Gen block-scale ops to
trtllmGen/, cuteDslMoeUtilsOp.cpp to cuteDsl/ and marlinNvfp4MoeMM.cpp to
marlin/, mirroring kernels/moe/. Position changes only; th_common's source
list in thop/CMakeLists.txt follows.

Move the all-to-all, fused-comm and prepare ops (with moeAlltoAllMeta.h) to
thop/moe/communication/, the EPLB op to loadBalance/, the two routing ops to
routing/ and the align/permute helpers to utils/. Rewrites the two includes of
moeAlltoAllMeta.h and the eight th_common source paths; no other line changes.

…layout (3/3)

Seven path literals in comments and casebook notes, plus the thop/moe/ row of
the C++ file map in MOE_DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md. The SHA-pinned permalink in
trtllm_moe.py keeps its historical path.

Signed-off-by: Lori Ren <lorir@nvidia.com>
…ten casebook lines

The four casebook lines touched by 3/3 also named fused_moe_wide_ep.py and
_torch/modules/fused_moe.py, which left the tree before this move; point them
at the files that hold those symbols today, as NVIDIA#19061 review asked for its
equivalents.

Walkthrough

The change updates MoE source paths after directory reorganization. It adjusts CMake entries, C++ includes, developer documentation, performance casebook references, and test source comments.

Changes

MoE path reorganization

Layer / File(s) Summary
MoE build and include paths
cpp/tensorrt_llm/thop/CMakeLists.txt, cpp/tensorrt_llm/thop/moe/CMakeLists.txt, cpp/tensorrt_llm/nanobind/thop/bindings.cpp, cpp/tensorrt_llm/thop/moe/communication/moeAlltoAllOp.cpp
CMake now discovers MoE sources through the moe subdirectory. All-to-all metadata includes use the categorized communication directory.
Developer path documentation
tensorrt_llm/_torch/moe/fused_moe/MOE_DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md, tensorrt_llm/_torch/auto_deploy/custom_ops/fused_moe/load_moe_align.py
The file map and documented torch binding path now match the reorganized source layout.
Casebook and test source references
.claude/skills/perf-optimization-casebook/references/..., tests/unittest/_torch/moe/test_moe_module.py
Prior-art references and DeepSeekV3 routing-logit source comments now point to the current CUTLASS, TRTLLM-Gen, communication, and utility paths.
