reasoning
**Evaluating linear computation** I'm contemplating whether a specific linear method is permitted, especially since it uses PyTorch. There's a suggestion of replacing the computation with a custom kernel, which might be allowed. I see that I can implement a final linear custom per output, but I'm concerned about the number of blocks. Maybe optimizing how I tile P per block with fewer threads per output would help manage performance better. I think I'll also explore the possibility of fusing operations cleverly to improve efficiency! **Analyzing bilinear computation** I’m looking at a formula involving sums that include weights and inputs. It seems like for each pair, I need to compute an HxH bilinear operation which totals a substantial number of operations, around 134 million, plus some reads for a and b. I'm considering whether I can use tensor cores for this computation, but it might be more challenging than it seems. I’ll need to think about the implications for performance and memory carefully!
