What does this PR do?

Type of change: new feature

Add a standalone operation dispatcher for supported non-4D layouts. Operator-specific handlers insert rank adapters and adjust axes, shapes, and initializers while preserving the surrounding interfaces. This compatibility pass is separate from the individually ordered rank stages and is not added as an extra pipeline transform.

Part 13/17. Depends on part 12; merge from the bottom of the stack upward.

Source size: 1775 added lines. A self-contained standalone dispatcher with its operator handlers; splitting the complete handler table requires a separate implementation refactor.

Usage

from modelopt.onnx.graph_surgery.dla_transforms.dla_convert_ops_to_4d import _apply_convert_ops_to_4d

# model is an onnx.ModelProto with the supported input pattern.
model = _apply_convert_ops_to_4d(model)

This is an internal pass; the public pipeline is registered in part 16.

Testing

  • Validated on this branch's current commit on Windows CPU with Python 3.10 and ONNX 1.21.0: 37 passed, 1 warning.
  • Operator-specific rank adapters, shared initializers, graph outputs, scalar/broadcast layouts, and supported numerical comparisons.
  • Repository pre-commit hooks passed for this slice; the commit is signed off and its SSH signature was verified.
python -m pytest tests/unit/onnx/graph_surgery/dla_transforms/test_dla_convert_ops_to_4d.py --noconftest -o addopts= -q --tb=short --durations=5

Tests ran with Hugging Face offline mode and without the repository-wide conftest/addopts; test-module fixtures still ran. GPU execution and DLA compilation were not run. The final stacked branch also passed the combined focused suite: 317 passed, 2 warnings.

Before your PR is "Ready for review"

  • Backward compatible: yes; this slice adds DLA-specific functionality.
  • Third-party code/new runtime dependencies: no new runtime dependency; contribution and security guidance reviewed.
  • Necessary tests: included for this slice, with focused synthetic fixtures.
  • Changelog: public feature entry follows in part 16.
  • Claude approval: pending for the current commit. Submitted as a draft.

Additional Information

Base branch: dla/review-12-dla-rank-conversion. Review this slice against that branch; subsequent slices are reviewed separately.

The new standalone 4D-conversion helper can produce invalid graphs or abort for some models: shared Cast indices, static DequantizeLinear, 5D Transpose without a singleton dimension, and Reshape targets containing 0. The helper is not wired into the public pipeline in this PR, so exposure is limited today. Fix these before it is registered in a later PR.

Skip 5D Transposes with no singleton dimension.

For an otherwise eligible 5D Transpose with a known input shape and explicit perm, the orchestrator skips neither the node nor its no-singleton shape. _handle_transpose then raises ValueError at .index(1), and _apply_convert_ops_to_4d does not catch it. Add a guard before modifying attr.ints. The index expression selects the rightmost singleton in output order, not the leftmost.

Guard zero entries before padding an unresolved Reshape target.

When resolve_reshape_shape fails or the input shape is unknown, the fallback keeps the raw target. Prepending 1s moves each 0 to a new index. The Reshape input keeps its original rank, so the 0 copies a different input dimension or refers to a dimension that does not exist. Skip the node when the unresolved target contains 0. Non-zero fallback targets stay unchanged.

Do not retarget a shared producer Cast to INT32.

When the Gather indices come from a Cast node, this code changes that node's to attribute in place. Consider a Cast(to=INT64) whose output also feeds other nodes, for example Concat/Reshape shape arithmetic, Equal, or a graph output. Those consumers then receive INT32, which causes ONNX type errors or ORT load failures. The value_info entry for that tensor also keeps the stale INT64 element type.

Reuse the Cast only when the Gather is its sole consumer and the tensor is not a graph output. Otherwise, insert a new Cast.

L1917: 
L1918:   * T1 in ( `tensor(float4e2m1)`, `tensor(float8e4m3fn)`, `tensor(float8e4m3fnuz)`, `tensor(float8e5m2)`, `tensor(float8e5m2fnuz)`, `tensor(int16)`, `tensor(int2)`, `tensor(int32)`, `tensor(int4)`, `tensor(int8)`, `tensor(uint16)`, `tensor(uint2)`, `tensor(uint4)`, `tensor(uint8)` ):
L1919: 
L1920: The type of the inputs ‘x_zero_point’ and ‘x’.
L1921: 
L1949: The linear dequantization operator. It consumes a quantized tensor, a scale, and a zero point to compute the full-precision tensor. The dequantization formula is `y = (x - x_zero_point) * x_scale`. `x_scale` and `x_zero_point` must have the same shape, determining the quantization’s granularity: a scalar for per-tensor/per-layer quantization, a 1-D tensor for per-axis quantization, or have a rank identical to the input for blocked quantization. See QuantizeLinear for details on quantization granularity.
L1950: `x_zero_point` and `x` must have the same type. `x` and `y` must have the same shape. In the case of dequantizing `int32`, there’s no zero point (zero point is supposed to be 0). `zero-point` is usually not used in the case of float8 and 4-bit types quantization, but the dequantization formula remains the same for consistency. The output type is determined by the attribute `output_dtype`. If `output_dtype` is not supplied then the output type is the same as `x_scale`.
L1951: The output type also determines the precision of the multiplication operation.

L1428: ### Summary【1407†¶】
L1429: 
L1430: The linear quantization operator consumes a high-precision tensor, a scale, and a zero point to compute the low-precision/quantized tensor. The scale factor and zero point must have the same shape, determining the quantization granularity. The quantization formula is `y = saturate((x / y_scale) + y_zero_point)`.
L1431: 
L1432: Saturation is done according to:
L1433: 
L1434:   * uint16: [0, 65535]
L1435: 
L1436:   * int16: [-32768, 32767]
L1437: 
L1438:   * uint8: [0, 255]
L1439: 
L1440:   * int8: [-128, 127]
L1441: 
L1442:   * uint4: [0, 15]
L1443: 
L1444:   * int4: [-8, 7]
L1456:   * Blocked quantization: The scale’s shape is identical to the input’s shape, except for one dimension, in which blocking is performed. Given `x` shape `(D0, ..., Di, ..., Dn)`, `axis=i`, and block size `B`: `y_scale` shape is `(D0, ..., ceil(Di/B), ..., Dn)`.
L1464: (Optional) The size of the quantization block (number of times every scale is replicated). Used only for blocked quantization. The block size is a positive integer. Given `x` shape `(D0, ..., Di, ..., Dn)`, `y_scale` shape `(S0, ... Si, ...Sn)` and `axis=i`, the accepted range is `[ceil(Di/Si), ceil(Di/(Si-1))-1]`

L2035: ### Summary【1429†¶】
L2036: 
L2037: The linear quantization operator consumes a high-precision tensor, a scale, and a zero point to compute the low-precision/quantized tensor. The scale factor and zero point must have the same shape, determining the quantization granularity. The quantization formula is `y = saturate((x / y_scale) + y_zero_point)`.
L2038: 
L2039: Saturation is done according to:
L2040: 
L2041:   * uint16: [0, 65535]
L2042:

L2047:   * int8: [-128, 127]
L2048: 
L2049:   * uint4: [0, 15]
L2050: 
L2051:   * int4: [-8, 7]
L2058: There are three supported quantization granularities, determined by the shape of `y_scale`. In all cases, `y_zero_point` must have the same shape as `y_scale`.
L2059: 
L2060:   * Per-tensor (per-layer) quantization: `y_scale` is a scalar.
L2061: 
L2062:   * Per-axis quantization: The scale must be a 1-D tensor, with the length of the quantization axis. For an input shape `(D0, ..., Di, ..., Dn)` and `axis=i`, `y_scale` is a 1-D tensor of length `Di`.
L2063:   * Blocked quantization: The scale’s shape is identical to the input’s shape, except for one dimension, in which blocking is performed. Given `x` shape `(D0, ..., Di, ..., Dn)`, `axis=i`, and block size `B`: `y_scale` shape is `(D0, ..., ceil(Di/B), ..., Dn)`.
L2064: ### Attributes【1430†¶】
L2065: 
L2066:   * axis - INT (default is `1`):
L2067: 
L2068: (Optional) The axis of the dequantizing dimension of the input tensor. Used only for per-axis and blocked quantization. Negative value means counting dimensions from the back. Accepted range is `[-r, r-1]` where `r = rank(input)`. When the rank of the input is 1, per-tensor quantization is applied, rendering the axis unnecessary in this scenario.
L2069: 
L2070:   * block_size - INT (default is `0`):
L2071: (Optional) The size of the quantization block (number of times every scale is replicated). Used only for blocked quantization. The block size is a positive integer.

Restore the DQ output rank and skip blocked quantization.

When this standalone helper expands a static DQ input below rank 4, the DQ output also becomes rank 4. If value_info retains the original rank, GraphCache still reports that rank and generic consumers can add another Unsqueeze. The Conv bias input is left untouched, so a 1-D DQ bias can reach Conv as rank 4. For nonzero block_size, expanding only the data also violates the blocked-quantization scale-rank requirement.

In the standalone DequantizeLinear handler, skip rank expansion when block_size
is nonzero so the data and scale ranks remain compatible. For expanded inputs,
restore the DQ output to its original rank with a squeeze, updating the node
output as needed so value_info and downstream consumers observe the original
rank.

Move the onnxruntime import to module level.

_run_ort imports onnxruntime inside the function, and no comment gives a reason. Line 66 already calls pytest.importorskip("onnxruntime"), so the in-function import is redundant. Bind the module once at the top of the file.

The SymbolicShapeInference import in _make_model (Lines 93-95) is also inside a function. If that import is optional, add a short comment that says so.
