    """Allows the model to jointly attend to information from different

    `Attention Is All You Need <https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762>`_.

    .. note::

        Argument :attr:`attention_mask` in the `forward` call is only used when
        :attr:`attn_mask_type` includes '"padding"' or `"arbitrary"`.

    .. warning::

        FlashAttention uses a non-deterministic algorithm for optimal performance. To observe
        deterministic behavior at the cost of performance, use FlashAttention version >= `2.4.1`
        and set the environment variable :attr:`NVTE_ALLOW_NONDETERMINISTIC_ALGO=0`. In order
        to disable`flash-attn` entirely, set :attr:`NVTE_FLASH_ATTN=0`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    num_attention_heads : int
                         number of attention heads in the transformer layer.
    kv_channels : int
                number of key-value channels.
    num_gqa_groups : Optional[int] = None
                    number of GQA groups in the transformer layer.
                    Grouped Query Attention is described in
                    `this paper <https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.13245.pdf>`_.
                    This only affects the keys and values, not the queries.
                    GQA-1 is equivalent to Multi-Query Attention
                    (`MQA <https://arxiv.org/pdf/1911.02150.pdf>`_), while GQA-H
                    is equivalent to MHA, i.e. `num_gqa_groups = num_attention_heads`.
    attention_dropout: float, default = 0.0
                      dropout probability for the dropout op during multi-head attention.
    attn_mask_type: str, default = `causal`
                   type of attention mask passed into softmax operation, options are "`no_mask`",
                   "`padding`", "`causal`", "`padding,causal`", "`causal,padding`", and
                   "`arbitrary`", where "`padding,causal`" and "`causal,padding`" are equivalent.
                   This arg can be overridden by :attr:`attn_mask_type` in the `forward` method.
                   It is useful for cases involving compilation/tracing, e.g. ONNX export, and the
                   forward arg is useful for dynamically changing mask types, e.g. a different mask
                   for training and inference. For "`no_mask`", no attention mask is applied. For
                   "`causal`" or the causal mask in "`padding,causal`", TransformerEngine calculates
                   and applies an upper triangular mask to the softmax input. No user input is
                   needed. For "`padding`" or the padding mask in "`padding,causal`", users need to
                   provide the locations of padded tokens either via :attr:`cu_seqlens_q` and
                   :attr:`cu_seqlens_kv` in the shape of [batch_size + 1] or :attr:`attention_mask`
                   in the shape [batch_size, 1, 1, max_seq_len]. For the "`arbitrary`" mask, users
                   need to provide a mask that is broadcastable to the shape of softmax input.
    window_size: Optional[Tuple[int, int]], default = `None`
                sliding window size for local attention, where query at position i attends to keys
                in [i + seqlen_k - seqlen_q - window_size[0], i + seqlen_k - seqlen_q
                + window_size[1]] inclusive. Special cases (-1, -1) and (-1, 0) mean no sliding
                window and causal mask specifically. Similar to :attr:`attn_mask_type`, it can
                be overridden by :attr:`window_size` in `forward` as well.
    attention_type: str, default = `self`
                   type of attention, either "`self`" and "`cross`".
    layer_number: int, default = `None`
                 layer number of the current `DotProductAttention` when multiple such modules
                 are concatenated, for instance in consecutive transformer blocks.
    qkv_format: str, default = `sbhd`
               dimension format for `query_layer`, `key_layer` and `value_layer`,
               {`sbhd`, `bshd`, `thd`}. `s` stands for the sequence length, `b` batch size,
               `h` the number of heads, `d` head size, and `t` the total number of sequences
               in a batch, with `t = sum(s_i), for i = 0...b-1`. `sbhd` and `bshd` formats
               are used for when sequences in a batch are of equal length or padded to
               equal length, and the `thd` format is used for when sequences in a batch
               have different lengths. Please note that these formats do not reflect how
               tensors `query_layer`, `key_layer`, `value_layer` are laid out in memory.
               For that, please use `_get_qkv_layout` to gain the layout information.

    Parallelism parameters
    ----------------------
    sequence_parallel : bool, default = `False`
                       if set to `True`, uses sequence parallelism.
    tp_size : int, default = 1
             tensor parallel world size.
    tp_group : ProcessGroup, default = `None`
              tensor parallel process group.
    cp_group : ProcessGroup, default = `None`
              context parallel process group.
    cp_global_ranks : list of global rank IDs, default = `None`
                     global rank IDs of GPUs that are in cp_group.
    cp_stream : CUDA stream, default = `None`
               context parallelism splits flash attention into multiple steps for
               compute and communication overlapping. To address the wave quantization
               issue of each split step, we add an additional CUDA stream so that we
               can overlap two flash attention kernels.

            Argument :attr:`attention_mask` is only used when :attr:`attn_mask_type`

        .. note::

            Input tensors :attr:`query_layer`, :attr:`key_layer`, and :attr:`value_layer`
            must each be of shape (:attr:`sequence_length`, :attr:`batch_size`,

            PyTorch API, 2) FusedAttention which has multiple fused attention implementations
            based on `cuDNN Graph API
            <https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/cudnn/developer-guide/index.html#op-fusion>`_
            (see :attr:`FusedAttention` for more details on FusedAttention backends), and 3)
            UnfusedDotProductAttention which is the native PyTorch implementation
            with fused scaled masked softmax.

        .. note::

            Users can use environment variables :attr:`NVTE_FLASH_ATTN`, :attr:`NVTE_FUSED_ATTN`,
            and :attr:`NVTE_FUSED_ATTN_BACKEND` to control which DotProductAttention backend,
            and FusedAttention backend if applicable, to use. TransformerEngine prioritizes
            FlashAttention over FusedAttention and over UnfusedDotProductAttention.
            If FusedAttention is being used, users can also choose to switch to flash-attn's
            implementation for backward by setting :attr:`NVTE_FUSED_ATTN_USE_FAv2_BWD=1`
            (default: 0), because of the performance differences between various versions of
            flash-attn and FusedAttention. Further, :attr:`NVTE_FUSED_ATTN_FORCE_WORKSPACE_OPT`
            can be used to enable (:attr:`1`) or disable (:attr:`0`) the workspace related
            optimizations in FusedAttention. When unset, TransformerEngine determines the code path
            based on its internal logic. These optimizations trade memory for performance
            and should be used with care.

        Parameters
        ----------
        query_layer : torch.Tensor
                     Query tensor.
        key_layer : torch.Tensor
                   Key tensor.
        value_layer : torch.Tensor
                     Value tensor.
        attention_mask: Optional[Union[torch.Tensor, Tuple[torch.Tensor, torch.Tensor]]],
             default = `None`. Boolean tensor(s) used to mask out attention softmax input.
             It should be 'None' for 'causal' and 'no_mask' types. For 'padding' masks, it should be
             a single tensor of [batch_size, 1, 1, seqlen_q] for self-attention, and a tuple of
             two tensors in shapes [batch_size, 1, 1, seqlen_q] and [batch_size, 1, 1, seqlen_kv]
             for cross-attention. For the 'arbitrary' mask type, it should be in a shape that is
             broadcastable to [batch_size, num_heads, max_seqlen_q, max_seqlen_kv].
        qkv_format: str, default = `None`
                   If provided, overrides :attr:`qkv_format` from initialization.
        cu_seqlens_q: Optional[torch.Tensor], default = `None`
                   Cumulative sum of sequence lengths in a batch for `query_layer`,
                   with shape [batch_size + 1] and dtype torch.int32.
        cu_seqlens_kv: Optional[torch.Tensor], default = `None`
                   Cumulative sum of sequence lengths in a batch for `key_layer` and `value_layer`,
                   with shape [batch_size + 1] and dtype torch.int32.
        max_seqlen_q: Optional[int], default = `None`
                      Maximum sequence length in `query_layer`.
                      Calculated from `cu_seqlens_q` if not provided.
        max_seqlen_kv: Optional[int], default = `None`
                       Maximum sequence length in `key_layer` and `value_layer`.
                       Calculated from `cu_seqlens_kv` if not provided.
        attn_mask_type: {`no_mask`, `padding`, `causal`, `padding,causal`, `causal,padding`,
                       `arbitrary`}, default = `None`. Type of attention mask passed into
                       softmax operation. 'padding,causal' and 'causal,padding' are equivalent.
        window_size: Optional[Tuple[int, int]], default = `None`
                    Sliding window size for local attention.
        checkpoint_core_attention : bool, default = `False`
                                   If true, forward activations for attention are recomputed
                                   during the backward pass in order to save memory that would
                                   otherwise be occupied to store the forward activations until
                                   backprop.
        core_attention_bias_type: str, default = `no_bias`
                    Bias type, {`no_bias`, `pre_scale_bias`, `post_scale_bias`, `alibi`}
        core_attention_bias: Optional[torch.Tensor], default = `None`
                    Bias tensor for Q * K.T, shape [1, num_head, max_seqlen_q, max_seqlen_kv].
                    It should be 'None' for 'no_bias' and 'alibi' bias types.
        alibi_slopes: Optional[torch.Tensor], default = `None`
                     ALiBi slopes in FP32 and shape [nheads] or [batch_size, nheads].
                     It adds a bias of (-alibi_slope * (i + seqlen_k - seqlen_q - j))
                     to the attention score of query i and key j.
        fast_zero_fill: bool, default = `True`
                    Whether to use the fast path to set output tensors to 0 or not.
        inference_params: Optional[InferenceParams], default = `None`
            Optimizes execution performance during inference by caching Keys and Values of the
            current decoding iteration. These cached values are appended to the K and V values
            computed in previous iterations, eliminating the need to recalculate them for the
            entire sequence.
            Initialization of `inference_params` is required prior to use to ensure sufficient
            memory allocation.
            Adjustments of the sequence_len_offset should be done after a complete forward pass.
            If rotary positional embeddings (RoPE) are utilized, they must be prepared beforehand.
            Supports "sbhd" and "bshd" layouts, with the "sbhd" layout being more efficient.
        is_first_microbatch : {True, False, None}, default = None
                             During training using either gradient accumulation or
                             pipeline parallelism a minibatch of data is further split
                             into microbatches. Between the microbatches of the same minibatch
                             the model weights are not updated. Setting this parameter indicates
                             whether the current microbatch is the first in a minibatch or not.
                             When set, this parameter enables additional optimizations:

                             * during FP8 training, it allows caching of the FP8 versions of
                               the weights
                             * it also allows skipping gradient accumulation during the
                               first microbatch (since it is the first gradient being
                               produced)

class MultiheadAttention(torch.nn.Module):
    r"""
    Multi-head Attention (MHA), including Query,
    Key, Value and Output projection.

    .. note::

        Argument :attr:`attention_mask` in the `forward` call is only used when
        :attr:`attn_mask_type` includes '"padding"' or `"arbitrary"`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    hidden_size : int
                 size of each input sample.
    num_attention_heads : int
                         number of attention heads in the transformer layer.
    kv_channels: int, default = `None`
                number of key-value channels. defaults to
                :attr:`hidden_size` / :attr:`num_attention_heads` if `None`.
    attention_dropout: float, default = 0.1
                      dropout probability for the dropout op during multi-head attention.
    layernorm_epsilon : float, default = 1e-5
                       a value added to the denominator of layer normalization
                       for numerical stability.
    init_method : Callable, default = `None`
                 used for initializing weights of QKV and FC1 weights in the following way:
                 `init_method(weight)`. When set to `None`, defaults to
                 `torch.nn.init.normal_(mean=0.0, std=0.023)`.
    output_layer_init_method : Callable, default = `None`
                              used for initializing weights of PROJ and FC2 in the following way:
                              `output_layer_init_method(weight)`. When set to `None`, defaults to
                              `torch.nn.init.normal_(mean=0.0, std=0.023)`.
    layer_number: int, default = `None`
                 layer number of the current `TransformerLayer` when multiple such modules are
                 concatenated to form a transformer block.
    attn_mask_type: {'no_mask', 'padding', 'causal', 'padding_causal' 'arbitrary'},
                   default = `causal`
                   type of attention mask passed into softmax operation. Overridden by
                   :attr:`attn_mask_type` in the `forward` method. The forward
                   arg is useful for dynamically changing mask types, e.g. a different
                   mask for training and inference. The init arg is useful for cases
                   involving compilation/tracing, e.g. ONNX export.
    window_size: Optional[Tuple[int, int]], default = `None`
                sliding window size for local attention, where query at position i attends to keys
                in [i + seqlen_k - seqlen_q - window_size[0], i + seqlen_k - seqlen_q
                + window_size[1]] inclusive. Special cases (-1, -1) and (-1, 0) mean no sliding
                window and causal mask specifically. Similar to :attr:`attn_mask_type`, it can
                be overridden by :attr:`window_size` in `forward` as well.
    num_gqa_groups : int, default = `None`
                         number of GQA groups in the transformer layer.
                         Grouped Query Attention is described in
                         `this paper <https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.13245.pdf>`_.
                         This only affects the keys and values, not the querys.
                         GQA-1 is equivalent to Multi-Query Attention
                         (`MQA <https://arxiv.org/pdf/1911.02150.pdf>`_), while GQA-H
                         is equivalent to MHA, i.e. `num_gqa_groups = num_attention_heads`.
    return_layernorm_output : bool, default = `False`
                             if set to `True`, output of layernorm is returned from the forward
                             together with the output of the linear transformation.
                             Example use case: residual connection for transformer module is
                             taken post layernorm.
    input_layernorm: bool, default = `False`
                     if set to `True`, layer normalization to the input is applied.
    attention_type: { 'self', 'cross' }, default = 'self'
                   type of attention applied.
    zero_centered_gamma : bool, default = 'False'
                         if set to 'True', gamma parameter in LayerNorm is initialized to 0 and
                         the LayerNorm formula changes to

                         .. math::
                            y = \frac{x - \mathrm{E}[x]}{ \sqrt{\mathrm{Var}[x] + \varepsilon}} *
                            (1 + \gamma) + \beta
    normalization : { 'LayerNorm', 'RMSNorm' }, default = 'LayerNorm'
                   type of normalization applied.
    qkv_weight_interleaved : bool, default = `True`
                            if set to `False`, the QKV weight is interpreted as a concatenation of
                            query, key, and value weights along the `0th` dimension. The default
                            interpretation is that the individual `q`, `k`, and `v` weights for each
                            attention head are interleaved. This parameter is set to `False` when
                            using :attr:`fuse_qkv_params=False`.
    bias : bool, default = `True`
          if set to `False`, the transformer layer will not learn any additive biases.
    device : Union[torch.device, str], default = "cuda"
          The device on which the parameters of the model will allocated. It is the user's
          responsibility to ensure all parameters are moved to the GPU before running the
          forward pass.
    qkv_format: str, default = `sbhd`
            dimension format for `query_layer`, `key_layer` and `value_layer`,
            {`sbhd`, `bshd`}. `s` stands for the sequence length, `b` batch size,
            `h` the number of heads and `d` head size. `sbhd` and `bshd` formats
            are used for when sequences in a batch are of equal length or padded to
            equal length. Please note that these formats do not reflect how
            tensors `query_layer`, `key_layer`, `value_layer` are laid out in memory.
            For that, please use `_get_qkv_layout` to gain the layout information.

    Parallelism parameters
    ----------------------
    set_parallel_mode : bool, default = `False`
                      if set to `True`, QKV and FC1 layers are used as Column Parallel
                      whereas PROJ and FC2 is used as Row Parallel as described
                      `here <https://arxiv.org/pdf/1909.08053.pdf>`_.
    sequence_parallel : bool, default = `False`
                       if set to `True`, uses sequence parallelism.
    tp_group : ProcessGroup, default = `None`
              tensor parallel process group.
    tp_size : int, default = 1
             used as TP (tensor parallel) world size when TP groups are not formed during
             initialization. In this case, users must call the
             `set_tensor_parallel_group(tp_group)` method on the initialized module before the
             forward pass to supply the tensor parallel group needed for tensor and sequence
             parallel collectives.

    Optimization parameters
    -----------------------
    fuse_wgrad_accumulation : bool, default = 'False'
                             if set to `True`, enables fusing of creation and accumulation of
                             the weight gradient. When enabled, it is assumed that the weights
                             have an additional `main_grad` attribute (used instead of the
                             regular `grad`) which is a pre-allocated buffer of the correct
                             size to accumulate gradients in.
    params_dtype : torch.dtype, default = `torch.get_default_dtype()`
                  it controls the type used to allocate the initial parameters. Useful when
                  the model is trained with lower precision and the original FP32 parameters
                  would not fit in GPU memory.
    return_bias : bool, default = `False`
                 when set to `True`, this module will not apply the additive bias itself, but
                 instead return the bias value during the forward pass together with the
                 output of the linear transformation :math:`y = xA^T`. This is useful when
                 the bias addition can be fused to subsequent operations.
    fuse_qkv_params: bool, default = 'False'
                    if set to `True`, `TransformerLayer` module exposes a single fused
                    parameter for query-key-value. This enables optimizations such as QKV
                    fusion without concatentations/splits and also enables the argument
                    `fuse_wgrad_accumulation`.

             default = `None`. Boolean tensor(s) used to mask out attention softmax input.
             It should be 'None' for 'causal' and 'no_mask' types. For 'padding' masks, it should be
             a single tensor of [batch_size, 1, 1, seqlen_q] for self-attention, and a tuple of
             two tensors in shapes [batch_size, 1, 1, seqlen_q] and [batch_size, 1, 1, seqlen_kv]
             for cross-attention. For the 'arbitrary' mask type, it should be in a shape that is
             broadcastable to [batch_size, num_heads, max_seqlen_q, max_seqlen_kv].
        attn_mask_type: {'no_mask', 'padding', 'causal', 'padding_causal', 'arbitrary'},
                       default = `None`
                       type of attention mask passed into softmax operation.
        window_size: Optional[Tuple[int, int]], default = `None`
                    sliding window size for local attention.
        encoder_output : Optional[torch.Tensor], default = `None`
             Output of the encoder block to be fed into the decoder block if using
             `layer_type="decoder"`.

                             into microbatches. Between the microbatches of the same minibatch
                             the model weights are not updated. Setting this parameter indicates
                             whether the current microbatch is the first in a minibatch or not.
                             When set, this parameter enables additional optimizations:

                             * during FP8 training, it allows caching of the FP8 versions of
                               the weights
                             * it also allows skipping gradient accumulation during the
                               first microbatch (since it is the first gradient being
                               produced)
        checkpoint_core_attention: bool, default = `False`
                                  If true, forward activations for core attention are recomputed
                                  during the backward pass in order to save memory that would
                                  otherwise be occupied to store the forward activations until
                                  backprop.
        rotary_pos_emb: Union[torch.Tensor, Tuple[torch.Tensor, torch.Tensor]], default = `None`
                       Embeddings for query and key tensors for applying rotary position
                       embedding. By default no input embedding is applied.
