**Optimizing cublas usage**
I think I need to optimize my cublas setup; it seems direct enough for what I’m aiming for. But then, I’m unsure about the timing — do I need to know more about that? It seems like I should just submit my final results or reveals without overthinking them. Hmm, profiling could be useful here. Maybe I should consider profiling to see if there's room for improvement?

-> Global load coalescing=4.0x (ideal=1.0) -> 4x wasted DRAM BW. Make per-warp accesses contiguous.
-> Low occupancy (12%) limited by registers (254/thread), shared memory (68608B/block). Consider __launch_bounds__ or reducing register pressure.
-> Compute-bound but NOT using tensor cores. If applicable, use FP16/BF16 with torch.matmul or WMMA intrinsics.

**Evaluating PyTorch performance**
I'm profiling some performance metrics and it looks like there's a significant runtime. I'm wondering if I should use cublasLt or TF32 tensor cores for better speed, but it seems TF32 might not be enabled in my environment. The performance figures for FP32 operations on the H100 are decent, but I’m curious if a custom kernel could outperform cublas – it seems unlikely. There are details around overhead in PyTorch I need to consider too. I think I'll run some final checks on this!

-> 21% stalls: shared memory / L1 / MIO dependency. Check smem layout for bank conflicts, double-buffer, or async copies.
-> Global load coalescing=4.0x (ideal=1.0) -> 4x wasted DRAM BW. Make per-warp accesses contiguous.
-> Low occupancy (12%) limited by registers (254/thread), shared memory (68608B/block). Consider __launch_bounds__ or reducing register pressure.
-> Compute-bound but NOT using tensor cores. If applicable, use FP16/BF16 with torch.matmul or WMMA intrinsics.
