reasoning
**Considering GPU Optimization**
I'm contemplating whether we can finalize things without using TORCH_CHECK to reduce CPU overhead. I wonder if we can track timed GPU evaluations with CUDA elapsed, including extension calls and synchronization events.
Should I check if allocation is counted or if cuda malloc events are involved? I’m thinking about whether to use `cublasGemmEx` or `cublasSgemmStridedBatched` for handling rows efficiently. There are questions around B size and optimization since cuBLAS shows poor coalescing. Let's explore these ideas!
**Exploring Custom Compute Strategies**
I’m considering a custom computation approach that uses coalesced B and C values, where A values are reused for each row across N=768. The cuBLAS operation for C seems promising since N is small (768) and K is 256.
C is structured in column-major format, with A and B organized effectively too. It might make sense to implement a strategy where each block computes a row, but I'm concerned about the large read for B. I’m thinking of optimizing with 16 rows and 64 columns, targeting high throughput while managing the operations efficiently.
**Considering Performance Trade-offs**
I’m thinking we could potentially achieve 20-30 TF, which is less than cuBLAS. There might be an opportunity to work with a tolerance of 1e-4, but I wonder if random positive inputs could approximate effectively. The output size is a concern, especially regarding memory allocation and operations.
Using cuBLAS might yield similar results, but I’m considering if we can bypass einsum parsing and unsqueeze overhead for faster performance. However, I’m unsure if the final evaluator expects no cuBLAS—static might be acceptable. I should explore this!
