reasoning
**Considering PyTorch settings** I'm thinking that the default setting for `matmul.allow_tf32` in recent PyTorch versions could be False. To be safe, I can set `cublasSetMathMode` to use CUBLAS_DEFAULT_MATH. With PyTorch 2, it seems like the default might be False too. Also, since large GEMM can be slower without tensor cores, I should consider the potential benefits of TF32. However, it looks like using `cublasGemmEx` might lead to output errors when comparing to the reference FP32. I need to ensure I have complete Python for this implementation. **Evaluating PyTorch settings** I'm diving into the complexities of PyTorch settings and its C++ wrappers, which seem a bit complicated. I'm concerned about comparing outputs of torch.matmul(A.T, B.T) with specific tolerances. I'm curious if cuBLAS handles operations differently based on dimensions. Also, I wonder if PyTorch recognizes it can utilize cuBLAS efficiently. There’s the potential to speed things up with cublasLt, but I'm pondering whether there are issues with memory allocation or if it could be addressed at compile time. Let's finalize this!
