Summary

This draft PR adds the initial Moore Threads MUSA platform plumbing to RL-Kernel.

MUSA devices are detected through torch_musa and routed through a dedicated
musa platform entry in KernelRegistry. At this stage, all MUSA operators
use the existing PyTorch implementations as correctness-first fallbacks.

No native MUSA kernel is introduced in this PR.

Why RL-Kernel

RL-Kernel provides a clear hardware-aware dispatch architecture and maintains
well-defined PyTorch reference implementations alongside optimized backends.
Its correctness-first approach to RL operators makes it suitable for extending
to additional accelerator platforms.

The separation between platform detection, backend priority, portable
fallbacks, and vendor-specific kernels allows MUSA support to be introduced
incrementally without changing the existing CUDA or ROCm behavior.

Changes

  • Add DeviceType.MUSA and BackendLib.MUSA.
  • Detect MUSA availability through:
    • torch_musa
    • torch.musa.is_available()
  • Expose MUSA platform metadata through DeviceContext:
    • device_type == "musa"
    • is_musa
    • torch.version.musa
    • BF16 as the preferred dtype
  • Add an explicit musa priority map to KernelRegistry.
  • Route explicit torch.device("musa") requests to the MUSA platform.
  • Route MUSA operators directly to existing PyTorch backends.
  • Reserve rl_engine/kernels/ops/musa/ for future native MUSA kernels.

The existing CUDA and ROCm dispatch priorities are unchanged.

Current Scope

This PR provides platform detection and fallback dispatch only.

It does not include:

  • Native .mu kernels
  • MUSAExtension or mcc build integration
  • Triton-MUSA backends
  • MUSA-specific attention or sampling kernels
  • MUSA IPC/VMM transports
  • Performance claims against CUDA or ROCm

Future optimized implementations can be added under:

rl_engine/kernels/ops/musa/

Follow-up Plan

Future work will be submitted in separate PRs:

  • Validate suitable operators on Triton-MUSA.
  • Add native MUSA kernels under rl_engine/kernels/ops/musa/.
  • Add correctness tests and performance benchmarks on Moore Threads hardware.
  • Enable optimized MUSA backends only after validation against PyTorch references.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for Moore Threads MUSA GPUs.
    • The application now detects available MUSA hardware and can select it automatically.
    • Added MUSA-aware device identification and preferred bfloat16 precision.
    • Added operator fallbacks for MUSA devices to maintain compatibility.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds MUSA platform detection and device state, defines MUSA platform constants, and routes MUSA operators to PyTorch-native kernel fallbacks.

Changes

MUSA backend support

Layer / File(s) Summary
MUSA platform detection and device state
rl_engine/platforms/constants.py, rl_engine/platforms/device.py, rl_engine/kernels/ops/musa/.gitkeep
Adds MUSA device and backend enums. Detects torch_musa, selects MUSA devices, records backend state, and returns bfloat16 for MUSA devices.
MUSA kernel routing
rl_engine/kernels/registry.py
Adds MUSA operator mappings to PyTorch-native backends and resolves MUSA devices as the musa platform.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8dfbc

MUSA deterministic GEMM requests would currently use a non-deterministic implementation, producing results that do not satisfy the operator’s documented contract. The PR should not merge until a deterministic backend is available or unsupported requests fail explicitly.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Preserve the det_gemm determinism contract.

OpBackend.PYTORCH_GEMM is documented on Lines 64-66 as the non-deterministic torch.matmul reference and is intentionally excluded from det_gemm dispatch. Making it the only MUSA candidate causes every MUSA det_gemm request to violate the operator’s deterministic, batch-invariant semantics. Add a deterministic MUSA-capable backend before routing this operator, or fail explicitly instead of selecting OpBackend.PYTORCH_GEMM.
