From cd5779ad3d43e3b3d55361c7a87ae4b494fa22b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roman Wu Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2025 22:35:52 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Add benchmarking and testing for blockwise fp8 GEMM using Triton and torch._scaled_mm - Introduced a new benchmarking script to compare performance between Triton kernels and torch._scaled_mm for blockwise fp8 GEMM operations. - Added tests for correctness and performance of scaled_mm implementations, including various matrix sizes commonly used in LLMs. - Implemented scaled_mm kernels to support blockwise fp8 GEMM operations, preserving scaling precision. - Enhanced the Float8BlockwiseLinear class to support both Triton and scaled_mm backends. - Included error handling and edge case tests for the new implementations. --- ...enchmark_blockwise_scaled_linear_triton.py | 174 ++++++++++- .../benchmark_triton_vs_scaled_mm.py | 248 +++++++++++++++ .../test_scaled_mm_kernels.py | 289 ++++++++++++++++++ .../blockwise_fp8_training/linear.py | 90 ++++-- .../scaled_mm_kernels.py | 251 +++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 1022 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-) create mode 100644 benchmarks/prototype/blockwise_fp8_training/benchmark_triton_vs_scaled_mm.py create mode 100644 test/prototype/blockwise_fp8_training/test_scaled_mm_kernels.py create mode 100644 torchao/prototype/blockwise_fp8_training/scaled_mm_kernels.py diff --git a/benchmarks/benchmark_blockwise_scaled_linear_triton.py b/benchmarks/benchmark_blockwise_scaled_linear_triton.py index ffdd63ec8d..1550a29b2e 100644 --- a/benchmarks/benchmark_blockwise_scaled_linear_triton.py +++ b/benchmarks/benchmark_blockwise_scaled_linear_triton.py @@ -18,6 +18,18 @@ fp8_blockwise_act_quant, fp8_blockwise_weight_quant, ) + #
