Summary

pld.tensor.reduce_scatter on the InCore rail now supports all four reduce ops — ReduceOp.Sum, Max, Min, Prod — instead of Sum only.

What changes

  • Deducer (DeduceTensorReduceScatterType): accepts the full kSum..kProd bound instead of rejecting Max/Min/Prod.
  • Lowering (LowerTensorReduceScatterRule): the accumulate step routes through the shared Reduce() helper, mapping each op to the matching tile op (tile.add / tile.maximum / tile.minimum / tile.mul) — the same dispatch the allreduce rules use.
  • Tests
    • Composite UT: asserts each op lowers to its matching tile op and that the composite reduce_scatter call is fully removed.
    • ST (test_l3_tensor_reduce_scatter_intrinsic.py): parametrized over all four ops at P=2 and P=4 with per-op golden (prod uses dyadic-rational inputs so products stay exact in FP32).
  • Docs (EN + ZH): ReduceOp capability in 02-primitives.md, the LowerCompositeOps reduce_scatter section, and the op catalog — InCore accepts all four; the HOST builtin rail remains Sum-only.

Verification

  • sim Docker (a2a3sim):
    • tests/ut/ir/transforms/test_lower_composite_ops.py: 126 passed
    • related UTs (op_registry / convert_tensor_to_tile / host_orch_distributed): 449 passed
    • reduce_scatter intrinsic ST (Sum/Prod, P=2/P=4): 4 passed
    • signal-reuse ST (reduce_scatter): 2 passed
  • pre-commit --all-files: 21/21 green (ruff, pyright, clang-format, cpplint, markdownlint, docs parity)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

pld.tensor.reduce_scatter now supports Sum, Max, Min, and Prod for InCore lowering. Validation, lowering, documentation, unit tests, and L3 tests now cover operator-specific behavior.

Changes

Reduce-scatter operators

Layer / File(s) Summary
Operator contract and documentation
src/ir/op/distributed/collective.cpp, docs/en/user/..., docs/zh/user/...
Validation and public documentation now list Sum, Max, Min, and Prod for InCore reduce-scatter. HOST builtin remains Sum-only.
Operator-aware lowering
src/ir/transforms/lower_composite_ops_pass.cpp, docs/en/dev/..., docs/zh/dev/...
Lowering passes the selected ReduceOp to LoweringBuilder::Reduce, which emits the matching tile operation.
Operator coverage tests
tests/ut/ir/transforms/test_lower_composite_ops.py, tests/st/distributed/collectives/test_l3_tensor_reduce_scatter_intrinsic.py
Tests cover all four operators, expected results, matching tile operations, and product-safe inputs.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 684ee

InCore reduce_scatter now supports Sum, Max, Min, and Prod, while HOST remains Sum-only; non-Sum HOST requests may fail later in compilation, and stale API/developer text can mislead users about support. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up on the rail-specific validation and documentation updates.

Poem

A rabbit hops through Sum and Max,
Min and Prod join tile tracks.
Chunks meet peers in ordered flight,
Tests check each result just right.
Docs now mark the path clear and bright.

P2 Badge Update stale Sum-only API descriptions

Once this check accepts Max, Min, and Prod for InCore calls, both public Python entry points still tell callers those variants are unavailable: python/pypto/ir/op/distributed/tensor_ops.py:428 says only Sum is supported, while python/pypto/language/distributed/op/tensor_ops.py:926-927 marks the other operations as reserved. The generic pass documentation at docs/en/dev/passes/12-lower_composite_ops.md:239 and the lowering comment at src/ir/transforms/lower_composite_ops_pass.cpp:1835 retain the same stale assumption, so users inspecting these interfaces can incorrectly conclude that the new behavior is unsupported. Update these descriptions to explain the InCore-versus-HOST distinction. .claude/rules/documentation.mdL34-L49

Addressed in 71ba89a — the Python API docstring (python/pypto/ir/op/distributed/tensor_ops.py), the DSL docstring (python/pypto/language/distributed/op/tensor_ops.py), the pass doc (docs/en/dev/passes/12-lower_composite_ops.md), and the lowering comment (src/ir/transforms/lower_composite_ops_pass.cpp) now all state the InCore-all-four / HOST-Sum-only split.

| AllReduce | `pld.tensor.allreduce` | `mesh` (InCore + HOST), `ring` (InCore + HOST) | `Sum`, `Max`, `Min`, `Prod` (mesh); `Sum` only (HOST ring) | — | FP16, FP32 (mesh; hard compile-time check); HOST ring: FP32 only (4-byte) | Mesh: O(N) remote traffic per step. Ring: O(N/P) remote traffic per step, 2(P-1) steps. |
| AllGather | `pld.tensor.allgather` | — | — | — | FP32 only (HOST builtin); any GM dtype (InCore) | Push-based. Input and target must be different buffers. |
| ReduceScatter | `pld.tensor.reduce_scatter` | — | `Sum` only | — | FP32 only (HOST builtin); any GM dtype (InCore) | Every rank stages all NR chunks before the call. |

P2 Badge Synchronize the Chinese operation catalog

When readers use the Chinese operation catalog, docs/zh/user/ops/01-catalog.md:193 still states that ReduceScatter supports only Sum, contradicting this updated English row and the newly accepted InCore behavior. Update the corresponding Chinese row with the same four-op InCore and Sum-only HOST distinction. .claude/rules/documentation.mdL89-L98

supports Sum exclusively.

Comment thread docs/en/user/distributed/02-primitives.md
pld.tensor.reduce_scatter previously accepted ReduceOp.Sum only: the
composite deducer rejected Max/Min/Prod and the LowerCompositeOps rule
hard-coded a tile.add accumulate. Route the accumulate step through the
shared Reduce() helper (tile.add / tile.maximum / tile.minimum / tile.mul
- the same dispatch the allreduce rules use) and widen the deducer to the
kSum..kProd bound.

Add a composite-UT that asserts each op lowers to its matching tile op,
and parametrize the InCore reduce_scatter ST over Sum/Max/Min/Prod at
P=2 and P=4. Sum and Prod pass on sim; Max/Min hit a pre-existing
tile.maximum/tile.minimum sim SIGSEGV (reproduced on pristine main via
the allreduce Max/Min intrinsic STs), so those two ops are the NPU
developer gate.
… InCore rail

The InCore composite deducer and LowerCompositeOps rule now accept
ReduceOp.Sum/Max/Min/Prod (routed through the shared Reduce() helper); the
HOST builtin rail still lowers only Sum. Update the ReduceOp primitive table
and the LowerCompositeOps reduce_scatter section (en + zh).

… and docs

Address review feedback (Codex P2 + CodeRabbit): the InCore reduce_scatter
widening updated the C++ and EN docs but several surfaces still claimed
Sum-only support. Synchronize all of them to the InCore-all-four /
HOST-Sum-only split:

- python API docstrings (ir/op + language/distributed tensor_ops.py) and
  ir.pyi ReduceOp note — drop 'Sum only in first version' / 'reserved'
- ZH op catalog ReduceScatter row — Sum/Max/Min/Prod (InCore), Sum only (HOST)
- EN+ZH lower-composite-ops dev docs — 'element-wise sum' -> 'element-wise
  reduction (Sum/Max/Min/Prod by ReduceOp)'
- lowering rule comment — 'kSum only' -> all four ReduceOps dispatch
