Performance:

  • 52.1 TFLOPS on NVIDIA L4 (Ada, SM 8.9)
  • 1.74× faster than CUTLASS 4.3.0 baseline (~30 TFLOPS)
  • 63× faster than cuSPARSE (0.87 TFLOPS)
  • 83% efficiency vs dense cuBLAS (62.5 TFLOPS)

Technical approach:

  • WMMA tensor cores (16×16×16 FP16)
  • 2-stage pipeline with cp.async
  • Optimized tile sizes (BM=256, BN=128, BK=32)
  • Zero branch divergence (100% efficiency)
  • 99.22% of theoretical occupancy

Validation:

  • Full Nsight Compute profiling
  • 100-iteration benchmarks
  • Correctness verified vs cuSPARSE
