- mm_fp8 accepts 3D operands through the same signature: grid.z slices by batch strides, size-1 batches broadcast (stride 0), inner .t() views fold into the layout tag at zero copy
- fix _LinearFp8 backward crash on 3D [B,L,d] training inputs (flatten before mm_fp8, reduce grad_b over leading dims)
- expose kRasterGroup/kStreamOut as template knobs; drop the 64x128 mid CTA and staged crosswise-B path from dispatch (direct wins everywhere re-measured, including DRAM-streamed B)
- dispatch thresholds grounded in fresh sweeps: m<=64 -> 64x64 CTA (+27% at 64x8192x2048), small-CTA crossover at SM*14/3 total tiles (+13% at 96 tiles), threshold counts batch x per-matrix tiles (+31% at 64x512^3 bmm, +25% at 8x1024x2048)
- remove scripts/tools/bench_fp8_gemm.py (superseded by csrc/tests/fp8_sweep.cu for kernel-level tuning)
Benchmark: NVIDIA L20, E4M3, NT pre-quantized, median of 100-200 iters
- 64x8192x2048: 29.1 -> 22.8 us (94 TF/s)
- 1024x1536x2048: 67.4 -> 59.6 us (108 TF/s)
- bmm 64x512^3: 139.8 -> 106.7 us; bmm 8x1024x2048: 186 TF/s
- regression-free: 4096^3 192 TF/s, 8192^3 200 TF/s, 512^3 unchanged
