Description

• Extend isFusedMoeRoutingSupported in onnxruntime/contrib_ops/cuda/llm/moe_gemm/moe_kernels.cu to query onnxruntime::cuda::CanUseFusedRouteMaps(num_tokens, num_experts, experts_per_token) when (num_tokens == 1 && num_experts <= 32) does not apply.
• Update launchFusedRoutingBuildExpertMaps to dispatch to onnxruntime::cuda::LaunchFusedRouteMaps<T> (FusedSoftmaxTopKMapsKernel) for half and __nv_bfloat16 router logits when num_tokens > 1 or num_experts > 32, while preserving fusedRoutingBuildExpertMapsSingleTokenKernel for num_tokens == 1 && num_experts <= 32.

Motivation and Context

• FusedSoftmaxTopKMapsKernel (LaunchFusedRouteMaps in qmoe_fused_route.cuh) was already used by the INT2/INT3 fast path in moe_quantization.cc for 1 <= num_tokens <= 8, 64 <= num_experts <= 512, experts_per_token <= 16, but isFusedMoeRoutingSupported in moe_kernels.cu only allowed num_tokens == 1 && num_experts <= 32.
• Consequently, all INT4 QMoE layers with num_experts = 512 and speculative verification batches (S = 8) fell back to two separate kernel launches per layer (SoftmaxTopKMergeKernel + fusedBuildExpertMapsSortFirstToken, ~9.0 µs/layer).
• Wiring LaunchFusedRouteMaps into CutlassMoeFCRunner replaces both launches with a single-CTA FusedSoftmaxTopKMapsKernel (4.31 µs/layer on H200 at S = 8, E = 512, K = 10), eliminating 1 kernel launch and ~4.7 µs per INT4 MoE layer (48 launches / ~0.22 ms per 48-layer decode cycle).

🟡 Changes recommended

The eligibility helper is undefined, the launcher call is incompatible with the existing API, and the new path lacks regression coverage.

What changed in this PR

This PR aims to reduce CUDA INT4 QMoE routing overhead by integrating fused routing and expert-map generation into CutlassMoeFCRunner for small token batches and larger expert counts.

Changes:

• Extends fused-routing eligibility beyond the existing single-token, ≤32-expert path.
• Adds FP16/BF16 dispatch to LaunchFusedRouteMaps, while preserving the existing small-expert kernel.
• Passes the token count into the routing launcher.

🔵 Needs a closer look

Architecture-dependent CUDA dispatch and fallback behavior require confirmed build and GPU validation before final approval.
