reasoning
**Considering PyTorch settings**
I'm thinking about the default setting for `torch.backends.cuda.matmul.allow_tf32` in PyTorch and whether it may be false since version 1.12. For Ampere architecture, it seems like the default for matmul could also be false. I wonder if a tolerance of 1e-4 for FP32 implies that it requires exact FP32 behavior. This brings up interesting points about precision in computations! I'll want to check the PyTorch documentation for further clarity.
**Considering numerical algorithms**
I’m thinking about using cublasLt and whether to choose an algorithm, but it seems complicated. SGEMM might be a good approach. When I check if PyTorch's torch.matmul has a transpose, it doesn’t. It appears that while cublas algorithms may not be bit-identical, the differences could be within 1e-4. If PyTorch uses cublasLt with a different algorithm, the difference might be even smaller. I also need to consider the environment for compiling extensions, and I won’t need to use try/except in this case.
