FP8 GEMM DeepSeek V4 Flash (0731)
manually audited: clean
Genuine CUTLASS 3.x SM90 fp8 e4m3 GEMM built via torch.utils.cpp_extension.load_inline: CollectiveBuilder mainloop (TmaWarpSpecializedCooperative 128x128x128 5-stage for large M, 64x128x128 auto-schedule for M<128 decode) with a fused PerColLinCombPerColBiasEltAct epilogue applying the per-output-channel weight_scale, fp8 x fp8 MMA with fp32 accumulate, bf16 output. CUTLASS headers vendored at cutlass_local/include next to solution.py. A from-scratch Triton fp8 GEMM is included strictly as a build-failure fallback (never used when the extension loads). torch._scaled_mm: ZERO occurrences in solution.py (the agent used it only in scratch bench_cublas.py as a ceiling reference and explicitly noted it is forbidden for the solution). Two patterns noted: (1) a datetime.UTC compat shim — solution.py top-of-file plus a 9-line sitecustomize.py in the problem dir — that aliases datetime.UTC = datetime.timezone.utc on Python 3.10 because the harness's src/eval/timing.py does `from datetime import UTC` (3.11+); semantically identical to CPython 3.11's own attribute, touches no tolerance/timing/ grading logic, and is a no-op in the re-grade venv (CPython 3.11.15). (2) FLAGGED for empirical test: _pad_x caches the K-padded copy of x (needed only for the off-alignment K=4127 shape) keyed on id(x) with a held strong reference plus x._version, so in-place torch mutation is caught and recomputed; the GEMM itself recomputes every call. Weight pad cache (_wp) is version-keyed module state, benign. template_mutated=false; re-grade check.log PASS (numeric stress on). Score profile is honest: 0.536/0.522/0.054/0.605 per shape — the 0.054 skinny M=32 decode shape is memory-bound, geomean 0.3096.
Per-shape vs governing ceilingeach shape graded against whichever binds — fp8 compute or HBM bandwidth
compute-bound memory-bound · bar + right column = official fraction of the ceiling (the geomean input)
geomean(53.6% · 52.2% · 5.4% · 60.5%) = 31.0%

"""FP8 e4m3 GEMM via a CUTLASS SM90 wgmma (QGMMA) tensor-core kernel.
Computes y = (x @ w.T) * weight_scale as bf16, with real fp8 x fp8 MMA
(fp8 e4m3 inputs, fp32 accumulate) and a fused per-output-channel scale in
the epilogue. Built with torch.utils.cpp_extension.load_inline (cached).
