When running row parallel with channelwise scales, the integer divide in:

// in vllm/model_executor/layers/quantization/compressed_tensors/schemes/compressed_tensors_wNa16.py:
scales_and_zp_size = input_size_per_partition // group_size

would result in a 0 sized tensor (with shape (0, 8192), i.e. tensor([], device='cuda:2', size=(0, 8192), dtype=torch.bfloat16)) leading to a nullptr getting passed into marlin.

This is because when its channelwise group_size was getting set to input_size which is greater than input_size_per_partition in the row parallel case when tp > 1

Now for channelwise scales when running row parallel with a tp > 1 we replicate the scales to all gpus.

This issue was present for the model: "nm-testing/Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct-quantized.w8a16"

👋 Hi! Thank you for contributing to the vLLM project.
Just a reminder: PRs would not trigger full CI run by default. Instead, it would only run fastcheck CI which consists a small and essential subset of CI tests to quickly catch errors. You can run other CI tests on top of default ones by unblocking the steps in your fast-check build on Buildkite UI.

Once the PR is approved and ready to go, please make sure to run full CI as it is required to merge (or just use auto-merge).

To run full CI, you can do one of these:

  • Comment /ready on the PR
  • Add ready label to the PR
  • Enable auto-merge.

🚀
