[TRTLLM-16598][feat] Sol-Attn: optional Morton (Z-order) token ordering for Wan - #20787
Adds an opt-in token_order knob (morton or hilbert) to SolAttentionConfig. Sol-Attn routes per 64-token block over the flattened video sequence; in Wan's native T-H-W raster order a block is a run along width (on the 720p grid a 64-token block spans 73 tokens along W and 1 row along H), so routing decisions have weak 3D locality. With Morton (Z-order) ordering each block covers a compact ~4x4x4 neighborhood (mean per-block extent 3.0 x 3.4 x 3.9 on the (21, 45, 80) grid); Hilbert ordering is a continuous curve with no octant jumps (3.0 x 3.2 x 3.4). The permutation is applied once to the token sequence and both RoPE tables after patch embedding and before sequence sharding, and inverted after the sequence gather; everything in between is per-token or permutation-equivariant, so dense math is unchanged and only block routing sees a different order. This mirrors upstream NVlabs/Sana's install_wan_morton_forward, which its Wan2.1 Sol-Attn recipes enable by default; upstream does not apply it to Wan2.2 A14B, and the Sol-Attn paper does not describe token reordering.
tensorrt_llm/_torch/visual_gen/token_order.py: cached Morton and Hilbert (Skilling's AxesToTranspose) permutation/inverse for a (frames, height, width) grid, dispatched by name, and a TokenReorder helper (identity for native; keeps the index tensors of every prepared grid and device, so captured CUDA graphs never point at freed indices); require_native_token_order, which BaseDiffusionModel.__init__ applies to every model that does not declare _supports_token_order (same pattern as _supports_token_sharded_tp).
SolAttentionConfig.token_order: TokenOrder = "native" with TokenOrder = Literal["native", "morton", "hilbert"].
WanTransformer3DModel permutes tokens, RoPE tables and the per-patch timestep embedding (TI2V-5B path; raises on a timestep/token count mismatch) and restores the raster order after the block stack, and declares _supports_token_order = True; every other model rejects token_order != native at construction, so the knob is never silently ignored. Pipelines carry nothing: the capability belongs to the transformer that implements it.
Docs: visualgen-sparse-attention.md SOL section.
Tests: sparse_attention/sol/test_sol_token_order.py (CPU, cpu_only-marked: config validation, the BaseDiffusionModel guard and the Wan declaration, Morton and Hilbert permutation round trips, 4x4x4 cube coverage, Hilbert continuity, reorder helper, index retention), Wan forward tests asserting morton == native under dense attention for 1D and per-patch timesteps on a (4, 16, 16) grid, a mismatched per-token timestep count raising ValueError, a routed-layer Morton test with a kernel census, and serve-schema cases; the CPU file registered in l0_cpu.yml, the Wan forward tests in l0_b200.yml.
Measurement
Verdict: on Wan2.2-T2V-A14B over the Sol-Attn paper's tau range (0.5 to 1.0), neither order improves the speed-vs-quality frontier. Morton ordering makes the block routing more accurate but pays for it in latency; Hilbert has a lower permutation floor but a smaller routing gain. Scored against a Morton-ordered dense baseline, its worst-prompt routing error is 18 to 28 % lower than native's at equal tau; the fused kernel keeps 3 to 13 % more block pairs exact for it, which is the 3 % slowdown. The reordering itself diverges from the native-order output (0.274 LPIPS with every layer dense: same math, attention sums in a different order, bf16 rounds differently, exact in fp32), so native dense is not a fair quality reference for Morton runs and the gate against it fails before any block is skipped. The knob stays opt-in and defaults to native; the docs say it is not recommended for this model. It is kept because it is the mechanism upstream Sana enables by default, so it needs to be available to compare against, and because other grids (TI2V-5B's finer latent grid, 2D image models if they adopt it) may behave differently.
Setup: Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-Diffusers, 1x B200 (580.82.07 driver, 1965 MHz max SM clock), 720x1280, 81 frames, 50 steps, seed 42, three prompts, CUTEDSL attention backend, torch_compile_config.enable: true, cuda_graph_config.enable: true for every row including the dense baseline. Sol-Attn recipe: thresh_type: diag, disabled_until_timestep: 0.909, dense_layers: [0], TRTLLM_SOL_ATTN_STRICT=1 on the routed rows. One 2-step warm-up per prompt, then one timed 50-step run per prompt; denoise time is the pipeline's metrics.denoise. LPIPS (AlexNet, mean over frames, worst of the three prompts) scores each order against its own all-dense baseline: native rows against the dense run, Morton rows against a control with all 40 layers in dense_layers in Morton order (no routing, permutation only). The Morton baseline itself is 0.274 LPIPS from native dense (same math, attention sums in a different order, bf16 rounds differently; exact in fp32), so native dense is not a usable quality reference for Morton runs. Speedup ratio S = T_dense / T_config; time reduction Δ = (1 − T_config / T_dense) × 100. Code under test: this branch at 5e6ab43fd5 (the later commits change docs and the index cache, not routing).

Dense times agree across prompts to 0.3 %, and a dense repeat in a second session reproduced the reference videos frame for frame (LPIPS exactly 0.0), so every non-zero LPIPS here is a real difference. Morton costs 2.8 to 3.0 % more time than native at each tau (most on the portrait prompt, +5 to 6 %); 0.4 % of that is the permutation itself (all-dense Morton vs all-dense native), the rest is the fused Sol-Attn kernel keeping more block pairs exact. Each against its own baseline, Morton's routing error is 18 to 28 % lower than native's at equal tau (0.141 vs 0.172 at tau 1.0; single seed, three prompts, within this prompt set's resolution). Against native dense, every Morton row scores 0.274 to 0.279, the permutation floor, so the 0.25 gate against native dense rejects Morton before any block is skipped. Neither view changes the recommendation. A single-step check on the real 75,600-token grid confirms the permutation is exact: in fp32 (SDPA backend, fusions and TF32 off) the Morton and native outputs of the high-noise expert agree to 3.9e-6 relative, and in bf16 the order change moves the output by 4.0e-3, less than switching the attention kernel does (4.9e-3), so the 0.27 is sampler amplification of bf16 rounding, not a plumbing error.
Hilbert order was measured in a second session (2026-10-29, another B200 and the Hilbert build 63c6ab11b5; same recipe, prompts and seed). Its all-dense control ran 1.9 to 2.0 % faster than the 2026-10-21 dense repeat on identical work, so only within-session ratios are comparable: against its own control Hilbert reaches S 1.034 / 1.096 / 1.167 at tau 0.5 / 0.75 / 1.0, below native (1.071 / 1.146 / 1.217) and Morton (1.044 / 1.116 / 1.184). Its permutation floor against native dense is 0.192 LPIPS (Morton 0.274), so it passes the 0.25 gate at every tau (0.213 / 0.217 / 0.219), but its routing error against its own baseline (0.154 / 0.162 / 0.170) is only 1 to 5 % below native's, where Morton's is 18 to 28 % below. Single seed; the floor difference between the two curves is worth confirming on more seeds.
An nsys capture of an earlier run at tau 2.0 (denoise steps 20 to 29 on the third prompt, cudaProfilerApi-gated, --cuda-graph-trace=node) attributes the gap to the fused Sol-Attn kernel: 3.0 % longer per call under Morton with the same call count, the permutation and its inverse 6 ms per step (0.1 %), every other kernel family unchanged within noise. Runs at tau 2.0 and 1.5 are outside the paper's range and are not part of the verdict; they showed the same direction.
Unit tests on the same B200 build: test_sol_token_order.py, TestWanUnit and the serve-schema cases, 57 passed after the second review round (12 + 7 + 38), generate_trtllm_serve_schemas.py --check clean; sol/test_sol_attention.py 62 passed on the measured build.

Explanation
The description contains the required summary, test coverage, measurements, and checklist sections. However, it materially conflicts with the supplied changes: it describes Hilbert ordering and transformer-level capability flags, while the changes add only native and Morton ordering and use pipeline-level support flags. This makes the implementation scope and validation results inaccurate.
Resolution
Update the description to match the actual diff. Remove Hilbert-related claims unless Hilbert support is included, describe only native and Morton ordering, correct the capability-flag ownership and API names, and align the listed tests and measurements with the implemented behavior.

Approving — the comments below are optional touch-ups, not blockers.
The Wan wiring checks out: tokens, both RoPE tables and the per-patch temb_proj move together before sharding, the inverse lands after the gather and before the output modulation (where temb is still raster), and TeaCache calls _original_forward so it sees the reordered path. Measurement section is unusually complete for a knob that ends up not recommended.
Two whole-PR points:
The description and docs say "other models ignore it", but the code now raises for FLUX, FLUX.2 and LTX-2, and the three guard calls are not listed in the description's change list. Please align the description with the raise-on-unsupported behavior (which is the right behavior) and mention the pipeline guards.
The description's test list omits test_morton_token_order_runs_sparse_sol_layer (kernel census through a routed Sol layer). Worth listing since it is the only test exercising morton with actual sparse routing.
Follow-up, not blocking: there is no multi-GPU coverage of morton with the sequence sharder (Ulysses/ring/token-sharded TP). The permutation is applied before sharder.shard, so it should be transparent, but multi_gpu/test_wan_transformer_parallel.py already exists and a morton==native row there would close the gap cheaply.

Nit: test_sol_token_order.py has no @pytest.mark.cpu_only, so the new l0_cpu.yml entry is ignored by tests/unittest/conftest.py and runs nothing on CPU stages; mark the CPU-only tests like the sibling sol tests do (_CPU_ONLY), or drop the l0_cpu entry.
@taianz-nv Thanks, fixed in 0299496: every test in test_sol_token_order.py now carries @_CPU_ONLY (pytest.mark.cpu_only) like the sibling sol tests, so the l0_cpu.yml entry collects it. pytest -m cpu_only on that file: 12 passed on NSC.

Adds an opt-in

Sol-Attn routes per 64-token block over the flattened video sequence; in Wan's native T-H-W raster order a block is a run along width (on the 720p grid a 64-token block spans 73 tokens along W and 1 row along H), so routing decisions have weak 3D locality. With Morton (Z-order) ordering each block covers a compact ~4x4x4 neighborhood (mean per-block extent 3.0 x 3.4 x 3.9 on the (21, 45, 80) grid); Hilbert ordering is a continuous curve with no octant jumps (3.0 x 3.2 x 3.4). The permutation is applied once to the token sequence and both RoPE tables after patch embedding and before sequence sharding, and inverted after the sequence gather; everything in between is per-token or permutation-equivariant, so dense math is unchanged and only block routing sees a different order.

A single-step check on the real 75,600-token grid confirms the permutation is exact: in fp32 (SDPA backend, fusions and TF32 off) the Morton and native outputs of the high-noise expert agree to 3.9e-6 relative, and in bf16 the order change moves the output by 4.0e-3, less than switching the attention kernel does (4.9e-3), so the 0.27 is sampler amplification of bf16 rounding, not a plumbing error.Hilbert order was measured in a second session (2026-10-29, another B200 and the Hilbert build 63c6ab11b5; same recipe, prompts and seed). Its all-dense control ran 1.9 to 2.0 % faster than the 2026-10-21 dense repeat on identical work, so only within-session ratios are comparable: against its own control Hilbert reaches S 1.034 / 1.096 / 1.167 at
tau0.5 / 0.75 / 1.0, below native (1.071 / 1.146 / 1.217) and Morton (1.044 / 1.116 / 1.184). Its permutation floor against native dense is 0.192 LPIPS (Morton 0.274), so it passes the 0.25 gate at everytau(0.213 / 0.217 / 0.219), but its routing error against its own baseline (0.154 / 0.162 / 0.170) is only 1 to 5 % below native's, where Morton's is 18 to 28 % below. Single seed; the floor difference between the two curves is worth confirming on more seeds.An nsys capture of an earlier run at
tau2.0 (denoise steps 20 to 29 on the third prompt,cudaProfilerApi-gated,--cuda-graph-trace=node) attributes the gap to the fused Sol-Attn kernel: 3.0 % longer per call under Morton with the same call count, the permutation and its inverse 6 ms per step (0.1 %), every other kernel family unchanged within noise. Runs attau2.0 and 1.5 are outside the paper's range and are not part of the verdict; they showed the same direction.Unit tests on the same B200 build:
