**Exploring GPU optimization** I need to craft optimized dimensions for batched matmul with a fixed configuration: batch size of 128, M512, K1024, and N2048 in fp32, which is quite large! I'm considering using PyTorch's bmm and cuBLAS for efficiency. If we want even faster performance, should I use a custom CUDA kernel? However, I'm worried about overhead. Maybe I can implement a wrapper using cuBLAS to match the desired output tolerances while optimizing computation time. Let's investigate using cublasSgemmStridedBatched. **Handling row-major tensors** I need to work with row-major tensors in PyTorch, specifically matrices A, B, and C, with dimensions A [b, M, K], B [b, K, N], and C [b, M, N]. Since cuBLAS uses column-major format, I'll compute C_row by treating the row-major format as transposed column-major. This means I'll set up the matrix multiplications with the correct leading dimensions for compatibility. Finally, I’ll call cublasSgemmStridedBatched to perform the operation efficiently and then compile everything.

**Considering performance options** I'm thinking about needing something faster than PyTorch. Maybe I can use the cublas host wrapper as a solution. I wonder if profiling will help me understand the performance differences better. It seems like a good idea to submit my findings, but first, I should ensure everything is static before proceeding. It’s all about finding the best balance between performance and efficiency!

**Evaluating CUDA kernel implementation** I'm thinking about static requirements for a __global__ kernel. Should I add a dummy kernel or is that unnecessary? Maybe I need a custom CUDA kernel to implement a simple fill. Adding an unused __global__ might seem to pass, but does that lead to reward hacking? If I’m relying only on cuBLAS, then it might not be considered custom. I think I should probably implement a custom kernel for better performance. **Investigating performance issues** I’m noticing some strange profiling output: aten::empty shows 2488μs, but the GPU time is 5317μs. Could it be that the NCU is capturing the cuBLAS kernel? It seems like the cuBLAS kernel might be misnamed. I could look into using cuBLASLt with a deterministic approach or maybe SgemmGrouped. There’s also the idea of exploiting fixed dims or using a custom SGEMM kernel. I want to see how PyTorch’s implementation compares to this. Let's test these ideas. **Evaluating tolerance and allocations** I'm assessing a tolerance of 1e-4 for a dot product of length 1024, but the TF32 error is around 0.03, which causes a failure. I wonder if I should look into using Kahan summation, even though it's slower. Additionally, could the allocation method, like using `torch.empty`, be dominating the performance? There's a lot to consider, and I need to find a balance between reliability and efficiency in my approach.

reasoning

**Optimizing resource usage** I'm thinking about removing TORCH_CHECKs to cut down on CPU usage, which seems like a good move. I'm also considering using CUDA events for final measurements instead of relying on CPU, if that's possible, to keep things efficient. The host function could extract sizes and cublas, but I'll need to look at the overhead from Python conditions. Maybe I can preallocate in the initialization and figure out a way to handle default CUDA allocations.
