What does this PR do?

Type of change: new feature

Add separately ordered indexing, reduction and attention rank preparation to the internal DLA sequence. Part 11/17 depends on part 10; merge the series from the bottom upward. Public registration follows in part 16.

Gather validates all index layouts before mutation. It preserves scalar/vector ranks, including symbolic vector lengths, and permits flattening leading singleton dimensions only when the padded native output layout is unchanged. Unsupported matrices, layout-changing intermediate squeezes and captured multidimensional layouts refuse explicitly. Higher-rank integer indices without singleton dimensions retain their native views. Shared ancestry and prepared views are reused; malformed cycles fail quickly.

GatherElements prepares matching index ranks and remaps positive/default axes while retaining negative-axis semantics. Generated values and controls use the existing allocator, including unnamed reductions and chained attention adapters. Only dead converted controls are removed. Original runtime defaults, public integer aliases and shared/captured Cast contracts are preserved. Native rank recovery handles allocated input-adapter names. Existing batch replacement retains untouched Constant payloads, and legacy graphs declare generated initializer inputs.

Attention adapters cover query/key/value and the attention output. Past/present caches keep their native four-dimensional layouts, and public queries retain their declared ranks. The established public attention implementation is unchanged.

GatherElements reads known index rank independently of symbolic dimension values. Symbolic public outputs receive an explicit native-rank view after already-promoted data; downstream public readers retain that native view. Symbolic data left native by the earlier boundary stage retains matching native indices.

Multidimensional intermediate Gather indices are prevalidated against native rank-two/rank-three data layouts before any graph mutation. Incompatible layouts refuse rather than leak an extra output rank after data promotion.

Usage

from modelopt.onnx.graph_surgery.make_dla_compatible import _transform_make_dla_compatible

model = _transform_make_dla_compatible(model)

This slice extends the internal sequence; the public entry point follows in part 16.

Testing

Windows CPU: Python 3.10.11, ONNX 1.23.2 and ONNX Runtime 1.22.0. 1,280 tests pass across the complete restacked graph-surgery and public-compatibility suite. All 112 indexing tests pass. Two new executable rank-two/rank-three Identity-index regressions fail against the preceding source and now refuse with byte-identical caller state, including an earlier eligible Gather.

Repository hooks and signed linear histories verify. Tests ran offline; GPU execution, DLA compilation and the complete Linux suite were not run locally. GitHub CI runs separately.

Walkthrough

The change adds DLA transforms for Gather, GatherElements, standalone reductions, and GroupQueryAttention. It registers the transforms in the DLA pipeline, updates shape recovery for promoted graph inputs, and adds tests for output equivalence, graph boundaries, and refusal behavior.

Changes: DLA indexing transforms

Layer / File(s) Summary
Gather index preparation and layout checks
modelopt/onnx/graph_surgery/dla_transforms/dla_indexing.py, modelopt/onnx/graph_surgery/make_dla_compatible.py, tests/unit/onnx/graph_surgery/dla_transforms/test_dla_indexing.py
Gather prepares supported constant and dynamic indices, adjusts axes, and rejects unsupported layouts. The DLA pipeline registers the transform. Tests cover supported layouts, output equivalence, and refusal before model mutation.
GatherElements index conversion
modelopt/onnx/graph_surgery/dla_transforms/dla_indexing.py, modelopt/onnx/graph_surgery/make_dla_compatible.py, tests/unit/onnx/graph_surgery/dla_transforms/test_dla_indexing.py
The transform converts indices to INT32, promotes supported index shapes, adjusts axes, and restores graph-output rank when needed. Tests cover shared indices, index producers, custom-domain functions, and output equivalence.
Standalone reduction handling
modelopt/onnx/graph_surgery/dla_transforms/dla_indexing.py, modelopt/onnx/graph_surgery/make_dla_compatible.py, modelopt/onnx/graph_surgery/utils/graph_utils.py, tests/unit/onnx/graph_surgery/dla_transforms/test_dla_indexing.py
The transform adjusts axes and keepdims, and reshapes outputs when the original reduction removed dimensions. It rejects dynamic axes. Shape recovery checks generated Unsqueeze nodes and axes. Tests cover output equivalence, name collisions, and legacy IR inputs.
GroupQueryAttention boundary handling
modelopt/onnx/graph_surgery/dla_transforms/dla_indexing.py, modelopt/onnx/graph_surgery/make_dla_compatible.py, tests/unit/onnx/graph_surgery/dla_transforms/test_dla_indexing.py
The transform squeezes eligible inputs and unsqueezes the first output when it is not a graph output. Tests cover graph boundaries and chained attention.

collide with names generated by the input path.
- Around line 161-166: Update the dynamic GatherElements Cast handling to cache
the cast output by the original indices tensor and reuse it for nodes sharing
that tensor. Generate each new Cast output name with cache.unique_name so every
output is unique, while emitting only one Cast per indices tensor.
- Around line 168-170: Update the rank-3 GatherElements axis adjustment so
missing axis uses the ONNX default of 0 and is materialized before adjustment;
increment only nonnegative axis values, leaving negative axes unchanged. Add

- Line 224: Use cache.unique_name for the generated initializer names in the
reduction-axes and reshape-shape paths before passing them to add_initializer.
Build the axes name from node.name or node.output[0] so unnamed reductions
receive distinct names, and reserve each reshape_shape name to avoid collisions
with existing initializers.

are promoted with a leading-axis `Unsqueeze` after the existing `Cast`, matching

matches the rank-4 data input; leave other index ranks unchanged.

Promote dynamic rank-3 indices before GatherElements.

When the data input is a rank-3 graph input, _apply_non4d_model_inputs promotes it to rank 4. A rank-3 dynamic indices input is not promoted because the boundary pass only selects consumers where the value is input[0]. _apply_gather_elements then adds only a Cast, so GatherElements receives rank-4 data and rank-3 indices. This violates the ONNX same-rank contract and can make the converted graph invalid. Add a leading-axis Unsqueeze for dynamic rank-3 indices, matching the existing constant-index path.

@mgohil-png I checked 50558003c8. The code addresses this finding:

  • Direct rank-2/rank-3 runtime indices receive the required leading dimensions after Cast.
  • Intermediate indices retain their scheduled promotion.
  • Regression tests compare full-pipeline outputs for direct inputs, Cast/Identity producers, axis variants, and caller-supplied overrides.

I inspected the code and tests but did not run the tests. AGENTS.md reserves thread resolution for reviewers, so I will leave this thread open for human resolution.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Fix the axis update for GatherElements with rank-3 indices.

The code prepends one dimension to rank-3 indices (Line 148). The axis update then has two defects:

  • A negative axis already points to the same dimension after a leading dimension is prepended. The code adds 1 to every negative value except -1. For example, axis=-2 becomes -1 and gathers along the wrong dimension.
  • The ONNX default for a missing axis is 0. The axis is not None check skips this case. The default then points at the new leading dimension instead of the original dimension 0.

Both cases return wrong values with no error. The Gather transform already handles both cases (Lines 121-127).

Addressed in 5055800. Missing axes are materialized at the native default before promotion. Nonnegative axes shift by the added leading dimensions, while negative axes retain their meaning. The checked rank-three matrix covers every positive/negative axis and the omitted default for fixed, dynamic and overridable controls; rank-two cases are covered too.

@mgohil-png Source inspection confirms the fix in 50558003c8. Missing axes become 0 before promotion. Only nonnegative axes shift by 4 - rank; negative axes remain unchanged.

The tests cover all rank-three axes and the omitted default for constant, dynamic, and overridable indices. Rank-two cases are also present. I did not run the tests.

This addresses the finding. Per AGENTS.md, I will leave thread resolution to a human.

The whole indexing diff now validates layouts before mutation, preserves proven singleton-index paths, retains symbolic vector ranks, caches shared ancestry, protects public/captured owners and uses allocated boundary ranks. All focused and branch tests pass, and the complete signed stack passes 935 integration tests. Before/after and memory evidence is summarized in the updated description. Separate final-cleanup corrections remain in part 16. Requesting a fresh full review.

Use _known_rank for GatherElements indices with symbolic dimensions.

GraphCache.get_shape(original) returns None when an index has a symbolic dimension. _known_rank correctly recovers the rank from ValueInfoProto, but _apply_gather_elements does not use it.

Non4dModelInputs promotes the static rank-3 data input to rank 4. It does not promote the symbolic index input because its shape is unavailable and it is consumed as GatherElements input 1. The index therefore remains rank 3, while the current code skips both its Unsqueeze and axis adjustment. GatherElements then receives inputs with different ranks and can fail shape inference or model validation.

Reused _known_rank for runtime indices. The same fix preserves symbolic public output rank after data promotion and retains native matching layouts when symbolic data was not promoted. Eight actual-pipeline cases cover lengths 1/3, symbolic/concrete data and a downstream GatherElements reader. Four fail against the preceding source; all eight now preserve exact output shapes and values. The full restacked suite includes all 110 indexing cases.

@mgohil-png Source inspection confirms that _apply_gather_elements now uses _known_rank for runtime indices. It also preserves native layouts when symbolic data remains unpromoted and restores the public output rank after data promotion.

The regression test covers all eight combinations through the actual pipeline, including the downstream GatherElements reader. It compares output shapes and values. I did not run the tests here.

This addresses the finding. Per AGENTS.md, I will leave thread resolution to a human.

GatherElements reads known index rank independently of symbolic dimension values. Symbolic public outputs receive an explicit native-rank view after already-promoted data; downstream public readers retain that native view. Symbolic data left native by the earlier boundary stage retains matching native indices.

All 110 indexing cases pass in the complete restacked suite. The eight new symbolic cases give four failures and four passes against the preceding source, with candidate bytes restored exactly. They check runtime index lengths 1/3, native symbolic data, promoted concrete data and a second GatherElements reading the public output. Full restacked validation: 1214 passed; required hooks and signed histories verify.

Multidimensional intermediate Gather indices are prevalidated against native rank-two/rank-three data layouts before any graph mutation. Incompatible layouts refuse rather than leak an extra output rank after data promotion.

All 112 indexing tests pass. Two new executable rank-two/rank-three Identity-index regressions fail against the preceding source and now refuse with byte-identical caller state, including an earlier eligible Gather. Full restacked validation: 1,280 tests pass; hooks and signed histories verify.

Preserve the reduction input’s original rank.

When input promotion removes an existing Unsqueeze, it rewires the reduction to the generated graph-input Unsqueeze. _shape_before_boundary_promotion then returns the rank-2 graph-input shape. The reduction pass shifts axis 2 by 2 and emits axis 4 for a 4D tensor, which is invalid. Preserve the original 4D reduction-input rank when promotion removes the existing Unsqueeze.
