"""W4A16 weight-only quantized GEMM for H100 (SM90). AWQ/GPTQ asymmetric int4, group_size=128. x: (M, K) bf16 w_q: (K//2, N) uint8 — low nibble = even-K, high nibble = odd-K scales: (K//128, N) bf16 zeros: (K//128, N) bf16 out: (M, N) bf16 Decode (M=1): fused CUDA GEMV — unpack + dequant + accumulate in one pass while streaming the int4 weight matrix once. Prefill (M>1): high-bandwidth CUDA dequant of the packed int4 weights into a bf16 workspace, then a single bf16 tensor-core matmul (cublas). This is the practical high-performance path on Hopper when full mixed-input MMA packing is not available; dequant hits >1 TB/s so the int4 bandwidth win is preserved on the weight read.
