    Hi @Flink-ddd , I’ve made some contributions toward the NVIDIA/B200 onboarding part of this issue in PR #547. The PR has been rebased onto main, and I’d appreciate your review and suggestions.
    The contributions include:

    • A B200 onboarding guide covering environment isolation, driver/compiler checks, SM100 kernel compilation, backend verification, and a reproducible single-GPU synthetic GRPO example.
    • Deterministic CUDA LogP training support, including explicit FP64, indexed/out interfaces, recursive differentiation, and torch.func transforms, reusing the existing deterministic CUDA kernels.
    • Validation reports and figures with actual backend traces, numerical errors, and reproduction commands.
      On a single B200, the main acceptance suite recorded 701 passes and 30 skips—15 SM90-only and 15 Ascend-only cases, counted separately from passes. Additional FP64 and layout checks passed separately. Derivative validation covers orders 1–8 across four precisions, with additional FP64 reverse-mode/mixed checks through order 10; this is finite validation.
      This contributes to the NVIDIA/B200 portion; AMD onboarding remains open. Feedback on the setup instructions and validation scope would be especially helpful. Thank you for your time!
