Description

@lvyufeng

Parent Issue

Part of #206 — Megatron Roadmap, Phase 4 (Advanced Features / Stretch): Task 4.3

Description

Implement FP8 compute path and TransformerEngine-style fused kernel loading for training performance.

Requirements

  • FP8 dtype support (E4M3, E5M2)
  • FP8 matmul kernels for NPU
  • Delayed scaling / per-tensor scaling
  • FP8 recipe configuration
  • Extension loading mechanism for TransformerEngine-style libraries
  • Fused LayerNorm + Linear kernels (stretch)

Blocked By

  • Phase 3 tasks

Blocks

  • Training performance parity with native frameworks
