- fp8_linear_forward: cast + cublasLt GEMM + transpose + bias in one call - fp8_linear_backward: scale-free, dtype derived from input tensor - drops per-op Python dispatch (was ~6-8 launches per linear) and amax syncs - 1024x1024 linear: 6.8x slow -> 0.67x (36.7us vs 24.8us bf16) - small-model e2e still 1.71x slow; 15bt estimate ~0.78x (linear-heavy)

// FP8 e4m3 matrix multiply via cuBLASLt (sm89 TN layout).
|
|
//
|
|
// cuBLASLt exposes fp8 kernels only for op(A)=T, op(B)=N on Ada; we exploit
|
|
// the identity: row-major a[M,K] == A^T as col-major [K,M] (zero copy), and
|
|
// row-major wT[N,K] == B as col-major [K,N] (zero copy). The col-major
|
|
// result D[M,N] is C^T in row-major terms, so we transpose the output once.
|
|
//
|
|
// Inputs arrive pre-scaled fp8 e4m3 tensors; output is unscaled fp32.
