Validate the hierarchical estimation approach for XAttention: - Test 1: Math equivalence (diff = 0.0) between hierarchical and direct - Test 2: Score + threshold selection strategy (replaces mask + voting) - Test 3: Performance benchmark (41x speedup) Uses pure torch + xattn kernels, independent of nanovllm framework.

Test: Hierarchical Block Sum Estimation for XAttention
|
|
|
|
Verify that hierarchical estimation (small estimate_block_size + aggregation)
|
|
produces equivalent results to direct estimation (large block_size), while
|
|
being significantly faster.
|
|
|
|
Key changes validated:
|
|
1. Hierarchical block sum: estimate_block_size=1024 → aggregate to cpu_block_size=4096
|
|
2. Selection strategy: score + threshold (NOT mask + majority voting)
|
|
|
|
This test uses pure torch + xattn kernels, independent of nanovllm framework.
