triton-ascend-basics

triton-ascend-basics is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mindspore-ai/akg. It costs 66 tokens per session (1,522 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A beginner's guide to the main building blocks of Triton Ascend programming, including program IDs, blocks, grids, kernel functions, and boundary masks. Triton is a language for writing GPU- or accelerator-focused numerical kernels.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when generating a first Triton Ascend kernel or explaining how kernel launch settings, offsets, masks, and core-based loops fit together.
Why use it?
It gives a consistent starting structure for dividing tensor work into blocks and safely ignoring elements outside the input.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

triton-ascend-basics scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Triton Ascend 编程基础

标准内核结构(交错循环)

@triton.jit
def kernel(
    output_ptr, input_ptr, n_elements,
    BLOCK_SIZE: tl.constexpr, CORE_NUM: tl.constexpr,
):
    pid = tl.program_id(0)
    num_blocks = tl.cdiv(n_elements, BLOCK_SIZE)
    for block_id in range(pid, num_blocks, CORE_NUM):
        offsets = block_id * BLOCK_SIZE + tl.arange(0, BLOCK_SIZE)
        mask = offsets < n_elements
        data = tl.load(input_ptr + offsets, mask=mask, other=0.0)
        result = compute(data)
        tl.store(output_ptr + offsets, result, mask=mask)

内核启动模板

class ModelNew(torch.nn.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        try:
            self.VEC_CORE_NUM = torch_npu.npu.npu_config.get_device_limit(0).get("vector_core_num", 40)
        except:
            self.VEC_CORE_NUM = 40

    def forward(self, x):
        out = torch.empty_like(x)
        BLOCK_SIZE = 1024
        grid = (self.VEC_CORE_NUM,)  # Ascend: 固定为核心数
        kernel[grid](out, x, x.numel(), BLOCK_SIZE=BLOCK_SIZE, CORE_NUM=self.VEC_CORE_NUM)
        return out

边界处理

offsets = block_id * BLOCK_SIZE + tl.arange(0, BLOCK_SIZE)
mask = offsets < n_elements
data = tl.load(ptr + offsets, mask=mask, other=0.0)
result = tl.where(condition, true_val, false_val)

Autotune 用法(仅限静态 shape)

Autotune 通过自动 benchmark 多组配置参数,找到当前硬件和数据规模下的最优配置并缓存,免去手动调参。

适用场景

  • 推荐使用:输入 shape 固定或变化范围有限(静态 shape),如固定 batch size 的 MatMul、固定序列长度的 Attention 等
  • 禁止使用:输入 shape 频繁变化(动态 shape)。autotune 根据 key 参数缓存最佳 config,动态 shape 下每组新 shape 都会触发一次完整 benchmark,反而严重拖慢性能

强制规则

  1. 必须写 restore_value:列出 kernel 的所有输出指针参数名。autotune benchmark 会对每个 config 反复执行 kernel,restore_value 在每次迭代前保存输出张量副本、迭代后恢复原值,防止不同 config 之间的结果互相污染。不写 restore_value 会导致验证失败。
  2. 调用时不传 configs 参数:autotune 自动传入。
  3. configs 参数必须是 constexpr:在 kernel 中声明为 PARAM: tl.constexpr
  4. key 参数:指定哪些输入维度变化时重新 autotune。
  5. Ascend 不支持调优:不要对 num_warps、num_ctas、num_stages 等参数进行修改调优,当前 Ascend 后端不支持。

triton-ascend-basics is a skill published in the GitHub repository mindspore-ai/akg (259 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 1,522 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
