feat(l3): Max/Min/Prod reduce ops for allreduce/reduce_scatter kernels

[georgebisbas]

Summary

• Wire ReduceOp (Sum/Max/Min/Prod) into simpler's hand-written collective kernels: onephase/twophase/ring allreduce and reduce_scatter now dispatch to TADD/TMAX/TMIN/TMUL from a new reduce_op scalar (kernel arg args[5]).
• New internal CollectiveReduceOp enum in simpler_setup/incore/collectives_reduce_op.hpp, mirroring pypto's ReduceOp without a cross-repo include dependency.
• bidirectional_ring and ibing reject non-Sum at kernel entry (TPUT<AtomicAdd> only — no AtomicMax/Min in the ISA).
• Orchestration entries and test helpers thread the scalar through; tests add P=2 Max/Min/Prod scene-test classes for onephase, ring, and reduce_scatter with golden dispatch.

Testing

• Pre-commit clean (16/16: clang-format, clang-tidy, cpplint, ruff, pyright, repo lint hooks)
• a2a3sim P=2 collectives 4/4 pass — Sum regression (TestAllreduceOnephaseP2) + TestAllreduceOnephaseP2MaxMinProd, TestAllreduceRingP2MaxMinProd, TestReduceScatterP2MaxMinProd
• Onboard (a2a3/a5) — the new Max/Min/Prod scene-test classes currently declare a2a3sim only; device coverage for the non-Sum paths is pending an onboard run.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

AllReduce and ReduceScatter now accept a reduction-operation scalar. A shared C++ enum mirrors the Python test enum. Supported operations are Sum, Max, Min, and Prod. Scene tests add non-Sum coverage for supported kernels.

Changes

Collective reduction operations

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Reduction contract and test helpers simpler_setup/incore/collectives_reduce_op.hpp, tests/st/worker/collectives/_helpers.py	Defines matching reduction enums. Helper orchestration forwards reduction scalars and computes Sum, Max, Min, and Prod golden outputs.
AllReduce execution and coverage tests/st/worker/collectives/allreduce/kernels/aiv/*, tests/st/worker/collectives/allreduce/kernels/orchestration/*, tests/st/worker/collectives/allreduce/test_allreduce.py	AllReduce shims forward reduce_op. One-phase, ring, and two-phase kernels select the matching tile operation. Bidirectional ring and ibing stop after a barrier for non-Sum operations. Tests add Max, Min, and Prod cases.
ReduceScatter execution and coverage tests/st/worker/collectives/reduce_scatter/kernels/aiv/reduce_scatter_kernel.cpp, tests/st/worker/collectives/reduce_scatter/kernels/orchestration/reduce_scatter_orch.cpp, tests/st/worker/collectives/reduce_scatter/test_reduce_scatter.py	ReduceScatter forwards reduce_op, applies the selected tile operation, and adds Max, Min, and Prod scene cases.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0d975

The PR adds a reduction-operation argument across collective kernels, but one orchestration path still declares the old argument count and may reject tasks, while unsupported operations can return without a clear failure and expose incorrect output. These issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Reviewed HEAD 243b283b09c9065bac359e076c868ada532773ef against merge-base 39ce891dbb3f665e72e99b4a1387b47012fb18bd, after refreshing upstream.

Verdict: needs discussion; please address the key test gaps before merging. Static review did not establish a computation bug for valid inputs. The argument is threaded correctly from the Python helper through orchestration to kernel args[5], all four reductions initialize from the local rank's input, and the implementation broadly matches the stated goal.

Please address the following:

1. Add Max/Min/Prod coverage for twophase. The kernel adds three branches, but the existing P2/P4 twophase cases still pass only reduce_op=0. The new non-Sum cases cover only onephase, ring, and reduce_scatter, so an incorrect twophase non-Sum branch would go undetected. Please add at least P2 end-to-end cases for all three operations. Test location

2. Include the new non-Sum cases in hardware validation and clarify platform support. All nine new cases specify only a2a3sim, so they do not run on a2a3, a5, or a5sim. The existing Sum paths already have hardware CI coverage: the P2 cases for all five allreduce algorithms are configured for a2a3/a5, and reduce-scatter P2 is configured for a2a3. The setting manual: ["a2a3sim", "a5sim"] restricts automatic simulation runs only; it does not exclude hardware runs. This PR preserves those Sum regressions, but they cannot verify hardware results for the new Max/Min/Prod operations. Please add cases for the platforms claimed as supported and provide execution results. The PR body does accurately disclose that hardware validation is still pending. New cases

3. Test rejection of unsupported operations in the Sum-only algorithms. bidirectional_ring and ibing add a pre-submission rt_report_fatal(SIMPLER_ERROR_INVALID_ARGS, ...) path, but there are no corresponding non-Sum negative cases. Please verify that unsupported operations report failure to the caller rather than completing successfully with unwritten output. Rejection logic

4. Update the collective READMEs. Both READMEs still describe only Sum in their algorithms, golden calculations, and test inventories. Please document the reduce_op values, supported algorithm/operation combinations, and new tests. Allreduce README, Reduce-scatter README

pto-isa advisory (nonblocking): pto_isa.pin is 5a4f74cbf627d4aac2e0ce10d5e0d8b118343265. This PR changes neither the pin nor pto-isa include paths, so there is no direct signal that a bump is required. If the pin needs updating, rebuild onboard a2a3 host_runtime.so with SIMPLER_PTO_ISA_BUILD_COMMIT=<sha>.

Validation limits: git diff --check passed. GitHub checks reported success at review time, but downloading detailed CI logs returned HTTP 403, so individual execution records were not verified. No local simulation or hardware tests were run for this review. The coverage findings come from inspecting case declarations and CI collection configuration; they are not claims of reproduced computation failures.

[georgebisbas]

@YunjiQin Thanks for the review. Addressed all four points:

1. Added TestAllreduceTwophaseP2MaxMinProd (twophase now has Max/Min/Prod P2 coverage, matching onephase/ring).
2. Extended platforms on the non-Sum test classes (onephase/twophase/ring/reduce_scatter) from a2a3sim-only to include a2a3/a5 (reduce_scatter: a2a3sim/a2a3/a5sim, matching its existing Sum coverage) so CI's onboard runners exercise them.
3. Added TestAllreduceBidirectionalRingRejectNonSum and TestAllreduceIbingRejectNonSum: negative scene tests that submit reduce_op=Max to bidirectional_ring/ibing and assert the run fails (RuntimeError from the existing rt_report_fatal guard) instead of completing with unwritten output.
4. Updated both READMEs: reduce_op contract (Sum/Max/Min/Prod, which modes support which), and the full test-class tables including the new coverage.

Note: I could not build/run this locally to verify end-to-end (this dev box's shared build/ cache is root-owned, blocking a local rebuild unrelated to this PR) — relying on CI (a2a3sim/a5sim/a2a3/a5) to validate the new cases.
