fix(ir): reject matmul dtype pairs the Cube writeback cannot produce - #2622
Conversation
An INT8 x INT8 `pl.matmul` with `out_dtype=pl.FP32` was accepted by the
parser and every IR pass, then broke in the backend: either a ccec type
error inside pto-isa's `TStoreAcc` ("the 2nd parameter maybe need a type
'__cc__ float *'"), or, where the shape let it compile, silently wrong
numbers.
The Cube accumulator dtype is fixed by the operand domain (FP32 for two
float operands, INT32 otherwise) and the result drains L0C through the
FIXPIPE, whose unscaled writeback performs exactly one conversion,
`f32 -> f16` / `f32 -> bf16` (pto-isa `GetCastPreQuantMode`, identical on
a2a3 and a5). There is no `int32 -> f32` mode: that is a dequantization,
and its scale has nowhere to live. `out_dtype` was never honoured
downstream either -- ConvertTensorToTileOps builds `tile.matmul` from the
operands alone -- so the request was simply dropped.
Two checks, because `out_dtype` is not the trigger but only what made the
assignment look type-correct: omitting it entirely produces the identical
illegal `pto.tstore`.
- `DeduceTensorMatMulType` validates an explicitly given `out_dtype`
against the accumulator and the writeback table, so the error lands on
the call the user wrote.
- `AccToGmStoreValid` becomes source-aware. It already whitelisted Acc->GM
*destinations* (i32/f32/f16/bf16) but said nothing about which
accumulator each one may come from, so `int32 -> f32` passed. It now
also requires the pair to be one the writeback can perform, which
catches the default-`out_dtype` spelling.
The shared rule is extracted into `MatmulAccumulatorDataType` and
`CubeWritebackSupportsDataType`; `tile.matmul` now reads the accumulator
rule from there instead of re-rolling it.
`test_sub_fractal_cube_tile_is_rejected_by_pypto[col_axis_int8]` built an
INT8 matmul into an FP32 output -- incidental, copied from the FP16 cases,
and illegal under the corrected rule. Its destination dtype is now
parametrized; the assertion under test is unchanged.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughMatmul type inference now exposes shared accumulator and FIXPIPE writeback rules. Tensor matmul validates explicit output dtypes. AccToGmStoreValid separately checks destination support and accumulator conversion support. Documentation and tests cover these rules. ChangesMatmul accumulator and writeback contracts
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR rejects unsupported matmul output conversions earlier and prevents backend failures or incorrect results on the normal compilation path. A lower-level compilation path may still skip the backend-dependent store validation if backend selection occurs after verification, so merge is reasonable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up for that ordering case.

- Around line 1031-1032: Update the conversion documentation near the integer
accumulator dtype handling to reserve “dequantization” for floating-point
destinations such as FP32; describe INT8/INT16 destinations as quantization or
narrowing, or use a neutral scale-bearing conversion description covering both
cases.
In `@src/ir/verifier/verify_acc_to_gm_store.cpp`:
- Around line 135-138: Update the diagnostic in the accumulator-to-global-memory
store verifier so the FP32-to-INT32 case is described as quantization requiring
quantization parameters, rather than dequantization from an integer accumulator.
Make the message depend on src_dtype and dtype as needed while preserving the
existing handling for other conversions.

Both new diagnostics called every rejected dtype pair a dequantization. That is right for `int32 -> f32` and wrong for the other two directions the same branch reports: `f32 -> int8` is a quantization, `int32 -> int8` a requantization. The verifier's message was the worse of the two — it also asserted "an integer accumulator comes from integer operands" on a path an FP32 accumulator reaches (`f32` acc into an `int32` tensor passes the destination whitelist and fails the writeback rule), so it named the wrong operand dtype as the cause. `DescribeCubeWritebackScaledConversion` picks the noun from the direction, mirroring FIXPIPE's own directional modes (DEQF16 / QF322B8_PRE / REQ8); both sites use it. The remedy sentence in the verifier is now direction-neutral. Also cover the spelling that omits `out_dtype`: the accumulator dtype is decided by the operands, so the illegal store is identical, and only the verifier catches it. That is the reason the check has two halves, and it had no test. Review feedback from PR hw-native-sys#2622.

What
An
INT8 x INT8pl.matmulwithout_dtype=pl.FP32was accepted by the parser and every IR pass, then broke in the backend. This adds the two front-end checks that reject it, at the call the user wrote.Why
The Cube accumulator dtype is fixed by the operand domain — FP32 for two float operands, INT32 otherwise — and the result drains L0C through the FIXPIPE, whose unscaled writeback performs exactly one conversion:
f32 -> f16/f32 -> bf16(pto-isaGetCastPreQuantMode, identical on a2a3 and a5). There is noint32 -> f32mode; that is a dequantization, and its scale has nowhere to live in apl.matmulcall.out_dtypewas also never honoured downstream —ConvertTensorToTileOpsbuildstile.matmulfrom the operands alone ((void)kwargs;) — so the request was simply dropped and the mismatch surfaced far away. From the generated artifact for the reported case:That dies in ccec inside pto-isa's
TStoreAcc(the 2nd parameter maybe need a type '__cc__ float *'); where the shape lets it compile, the kernel returns raw accumulator bits reinterpreted as float.How
out_dtypeis not the trigger, only what made the assignment look type-correct. Omitting it entirely produces the byte-identical illegal store (verified separately), so one check is not enough:DeduceTensorMatMulTypevalidates an explicitly givenout_dtypeagainst the accumulator and the writeback table. Float operands acceptFP32/FP16/BF16; int operands accept onlyINT32.AccToGmStoreValidbecomes source-aware. It already whitelisted Acc→GM destinations (i32/f32/f16/bf16) but said nothing about which accumulator each may come from, soint32 -> f32passed. It now also requires the pair to be one the writeback can perform — which catches the default-out_dtypespelling. The verifier is the right home for this half: legality depends on the tile's memory space, resolved only atInferTileMemorySpace.The shared rule is extracted into
MatmulAccumulatorDataType/CubeWritebackSupportsDataTypeintype_inference.h;tile.matmulnow reads the accumulator rule from there instead of re-rolling it.Notes for reviewers
test_sub_fractal_cube_tile_is_rejected_by_pypto[col_axis_int8]built an INT8 matmul into an FP32 output — incidental, copied from the FP16 cases, and illegal under the corrected rule. Its destination dtype is now parametrized (INT32for the int8 case). The assertion under test (sub-fractal box rejection) is untouched.examples/models/03_flash_attention.pyand its parser test useout_dtype=pl.FP16on FP16 operands; that is theF322F16writeback and still compiles. I confirmed the emittedpto.tstorefor an FP32 accumulator into an FP16 tensor.PYPTO_VERIFY_LEVEL=nonethe property verifier does not run, so the newtest_acc_to_gm_int_source_float_dest_rejectedjoins the three existingtest_split_kcases that fail there. Same known bug class (a pass-owned invariant enforced only by its paired verifier); not expanded on in this PR.out_dtype's default still promotes from the operands (INT8 operands default to INT8), which is inaccurate but inert now that the store is checked. Left as a separate question.Testing
