Adds fp-cuda, a CUDA backend for F₂ (GF(2)) matrix multiplication on Hopper
(H200/H100), and wires it into fp behind an optional gpu feature so large
p = 2 matrix products dispatch to binary tensor cores.

What's here

  • A wgmma.b1 (binary AND+popcount tensor-core) GEMM kernel, both operands
    pre-arranged on the host as K-major tiles and loaded via TMA with 128B
    swizzle into the layout the swizzled wgmma descriptors expect.
  • Progressive kernel optimization, one commit per phase: K-pipelining
    (TMA + double-buffering + producer/consumer warpgroup specialization),
    128B swizzle, m64n256k256, per-warpgroup register reallocation, deeper
    K-pipeline, TMA bulk output store, persistent kernel + grouped tile
    rasterization, thread-block clusters + TMA multicast of B, output-tile
    register-blocking, store/compute overlap, and fence hoisting.
  • Host layer on cudarc (stable Rust).
  • fp integration (gpu feature): fp-cuda's library API is fp-agnostic
    (raw limbs), breaking the dependency cycle; fp dispatches large p=2
    products to the device. The fp-cudabuild.rs emits a stub PTX when nvcc
    is absent, so --workspace CI stays green on runners without a GPU.

Testing

  • cargo test -p fp --features gpu --test cuda_dispatchgpu_dispatch_matches_cpu
    passes on an H200 (bit-exact vs the CPU path).
  • cargo build -p fp (default, no GPU) and --features gpu both compile.

Base for the follow-up device-resident row-reduction PR, which rebases on top
of this.

Steps (a)-(d): hoist the A TMA load out of the column-group loop,
double-buffer A in the K pipeline, load B via TMA, and split into
producer/consumer warpgroups.

Both b1 operands are K-major; move them to CU_TENSOR_MAP_SWIZZLE_128B so
wgmma operand reads avoid bank conflicts. The TMA applies the swizzle on
load, so the host now emits plain row-major K-major tiles (the hand-rolled
cm() interleave is gone) and the wgmma matrix descriptors carry the matching
layout bits (layout=1, LBO=16B, SBO=1024B), derived from CUTLASS
make_gmma_desc<Major::K> / LayoutType::B128.
The SMEM K-tile grows to 1024 bits (one full 128B K-major swizzle atom =
4 k256 sub-chunks) and moves to dynamic shared memory (~82KB, opt-in via
CU_FUNC_ATTRIBUTE_MAX_DYNAMIC_SHARED_SIZE_BYTES).
Per-stage wgmmas now run behind a single commit_group/wait_group and
accumulate popcounts in-hardware (scale-D=1) into one resident accumulator
per column group, replacing the previous one-wgmma-per-commit/wait
serialization.
Compile-verified only (nvcc + rustc); not yet validated on H100. Validate
with a 64x256x64 identity product first, then matmul_b1_demo, then the bench.

Replace the four m64n64k256 wgmmas per k-step (one per output limb) with a
single m64n256k256 covering all NG=4 limbs at once. Binary wgmma is k256-only,
so N is the throughput lever; n256 is the max. Same accumulator register count
(128 s32/thread) and same SMEM as the 4x n64 version, but 1/4 the wgmma
instructions, B descriptors, and fence/commit churn.
B is now arranged as one contiguous 256-column tile per CTA (host transpose_b
packs 4 limbs side by side; the B TMA box is 256 rows tall) instead of four
separate 64-column tiles, and is zero-padded to whole 256-column groups. A and
the K tiling are unchanged. The output bit-pack splits the single acc[128] into
the 4 output limbs: the m64n256 fragment is the m64n64 layout tiled along N, so
register group gi in 0..32 maps to columns [gi*8, gi*8+8).
Compile-verified (PTX emits m64n256k256); fragment->limb bit-pack still needs
the 64x256x64 identity check on H100.

The producer warpgroup needs few registers; the consumer holds the 128-reg
m64n256 accumulator. Issue setmaxnreg.dec(40) in the producer and
setmaxnreg.inc(216) in the consumer so the consumer claims the producer's
surplus. 128*(40+216)=32768 regs/CTA, leaving room for 2 CTAs/SM.
Both are warpgroup-aligned and executed by all 128 threads of their warpgroup
(the wg branch splits at warpgroup granularity). Compile-verified; PTX emits
the dec/inc. Also fixes a stale m64n64k256 mention in the lib doc comment.

Bump the producer-consumer pipeline depth from 2 to 3 so the producer can run
two K-chunks ahead, hiding more TMA latency. SMEM grows to ~122 KB/CTA (one
CTA/SM vs two at STAGES=2); the host smem_bytes/cuFuncSetAttribute track it
automatically. STAGES is the latency-vs-occupancy knob to sweep on hardware.
Phase-array inits made depth-agnostic ({0}).

Replace the per-thread global stores with a single
cp.async.bulk.tensor.2d.global.shared::cta per CTA. sC is now packed row-major
([row][limb]) so the 64×NG tile is contiguous for the store; thread 0 issues it
after a __syncthreads + fence.proxy.async (making the atomicXor writes visible
to the async proxy), then cp.async.bulk.commit_group/wait_group, then a final
__syncthreads keeps sC alive until the store lands.
The kernel now takes a C tensor map instead of a raw pointer (nlim/C* params
dropped). C is padded on the host to whole NG-limb column groups
(n_padded_lim = n_groups*NG) so every stored tile is complete; padded columns
carry zeros from the zero-padded B and are trimmed on readback. README roadmap
updated to reflect Phases 4-7.
Compile-verified (PTX emits the bulk store + fence.proxy.async); store path and
n256 bit-pack still need the H100 identity check.

Replace the cuda-oxide `cuda-core` dependency with `cudarc`. cuda-core pulled in
nightly via an incidental `#![feature(f16)]` (a DeviceCopy impl for the unstable
f16 primitive we never use); cudarc is stable Rust, mainstream/maintained, and
dynamically loads the driver at runtime — so the crate builds with no CUDA
present and the whole crate (lib + examples + benches) now compiles AND links
locally without libcuda (previously examples failed at link with -lcuda).
Host glue rewritten against cudarc: CudaContext/load_module(Ptx)/load_function,
clone_htod/alloc_zeros/clone_dtoh, device_ptr for the TMA descriptor addresses,
CudaFunction::set_attribute for the >48 KB dynamic-SMEM opt-in, and the typed
launch builder. The three CUtensorMaps are passed by value as grid-constant args
via a #[repr(transparent)] TmaArg: DeviceRepr wrapper. cuTensorMapEncodeTiled is
called through cudarc::driver::sys. Kernel (.cu/PTX) and build.rs are unchanged.
cudarc features: driver + nvrtc (for Ptx) + cuda-12080 + dynamic-loading; the
version only selects pre-generated bindings, the real driver (12.8+/13.x) is
resolved at runtime.
Also delete examples/bench_breakdown.rs: it was stale (called the pre-TMA
7-pointer kernel signature with the old cm() transpose) and the only remaining
cuda-core user; bench_kernel_only supersedes it.
Compile + link verified locally (lib, examples, benches). Stable-toolchain build
to be confirmed on the server (dev box only has Nix nightly).

The >16384 throughput cliff is L2-residency bound on B: with the old
(grid_x=n_groups, grid_y=m_tiles) launch (N fastest), every B column-panel
is re-touched only once per full sweep of B, so its reuse distance is the
whole matrix and it spills from L2 once K*N/8 > ~50 MB, getting re-streamed
from HBM per M-tile.
Convert to a persistent 1-D grid of ~SM-count CTAs that sweep all output
tiles in a grouped-along-M order (bi fastest within a GROUP_M-row band, bj
slowest). This shortens each B-panel's reuse distance to <= GROUP_M, cutting
B's HBM re-reads by a factor of GROUP_M while A still streams once.
Kernel: take n_groups as an arg (no longer gridDim.x), add GROUP_M=8, wrap
the per-tile body in a persistent `for (tile = blockIdx.x; ...)` loop, and
re-init the mbarriers per tile (fresh phase-0 bookkeeping) so barrier parity
isn't carried across iterations. setmaxnreg stays a one-time per-warpgroup
action before the loop. Per-tile compute is byte-identical to Phase 7.
Host: query CU_DEVICE_ATTRIBUTE_MULTIPROCESSOR_COUNT, launch
(num_ctas = min(SMs, total_tiles), 1, 1), and pass n_groups. TMA descriptors,
padding, and readback are unchanged.
GROUP_M is a tuning knob (8/16/32) to sweep on the H100. Code-only on the dev
box; validate on the server.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Phase 8 shortened each B-panel's reuse distance via rasterization; this shares
the remaining HBM read of a B-panel across CTAs. CLUSTER (=2) CTAs along M form
a thread-block cluster: each computes a different M-tile (its own n256
accumulator) but receives the same B-panel via one multicast HBM read
(cp.async.bulk.tensor.2d...multicast::cluster), cutting B's HBM traffic by a
further factor of CLUSTER on top of Phase 8's GROUP_M. (A second per-CTA
accumulator can't fit the 256-reg budget, so cross-M B-reuse must be cross-CTA,
i.e. clusters — not single-CTA SMEM reuse.)
Kernel: __cluster_dims__(CLUSTER,1,1); the schedule walks M-super-rows of
CLUSTER tiles (bi = sbi*CLUSTER + rank, shared bj). A is loaded per-CTA; B is
multicast by rank 0 with an all-ranks mask into every member's sB and counted
against every member's full barrier. The empty barrier is cluster-wide
(init count CLUSTER; each consumer arrives on every member via mapa). Pipeline
barriers are initialized once and flow continuously across tiles (single
qidx/p) rather than re-init per tile, which would race the cross-CTA arrivals.
One barrier.cluster after init. Mirrors pranjalssh/fast.cu matmul_9.
Host: pad m_tiles to a multiple of CLUSTER (every rank gets a valid M-tile),
round the persistent grid down to a whole number of clusters. CLUSTER must
match the kernel constant (like STAGES).
GROUP_M and CLUSTER are tuning knobs to sweep on the H100. Multicast/cluster
ordering is the highest-risk, hardware-unverifiable part — see HANDOFF.md.
Code-only on the dev box; validate on the server.

Diagnosis on H200: the kernel was L2-refill-bandwidth bound, not compute
bound. Microbenchmarks put the single-warpgroup wgmma.b1 ceiling at
~12,468 TOPS while sustained L2->SMEM refill tops out at ~8 TB/s (full
tensor rate needs ~14.6). Each CTA computed a 64x256 tile, so it reloaded
8KB A + 32KB B per k-chunk -- B was 80% of the traffic because the tile
was 4x wider than tall, and the tensor core starved waiting for it.
Fix: register-block the output. Each CTA now computes a TM x NB block as
MSTRIPS m64n128 wgmma strips (wgmma_n128, acc[MSTRIPS][64]) that all reuse
one loaded B sub-tile, so a single L2->SMEM read of B feeds every strip.
Winning config MSTRIPS=3 (192x128 block), NB=128, STAGES=4, GROUP_M=16,
CLUSTER=2 cuts refill bytes/MAC by 33%.
Also validates the previously-unvalidated Phase 8-9 batch on hardware
(bit-exact) and lands the STAGES 3->4 / GROUP_M 8->16 tuning.
Kernel-only, bit-exact (32768 cube): 8,585 -> 9,344 TOPS (+8.9%); 16384
7,636 -> 8,301; now ~75% of the tensor-core ceiling. Constants MSTRIPS in
the kernel and TILE_M(=64*MSTRIPS)/NG in src/lib.rs must match. NB must be
a multiple of 128 (NG even) or the C-store TMA box breaks 16B alignment;
MSTRIPS=4 would exceed the 255-reg/thread cap.
Adds examples/tune.rs, a fast no-CPU-check sweep harness.

The per-tile epilogue drained its C store inline (cp.async.bulk.wait_group
0 between two __syncthreads), stalling the whole CTA for the store latency
every output tile -- a bubble that grows as a fraction of tile time at
smaller K.
Double-buffer sC and defer the wait: each tile packs into sC[titer&1],
issues its store, then does cp.async.bulk.wait_group.read 1, which blocks
only until every store but the newest has finished *reading* its SMEM
source. So tile T's store drains during tile T+1's compute, and the buffer
freed (two tiles back) is safe to reuse. A final wait_group 0 after the
persistent loop drains the last store before the CTA exits.
Kernel-only, bit-exact: 32768 9,344 -> 9,426; 16384 8,301 -> 8,420; 8192
6,425 -> 6,591; 4096 3,835 -> 3,948 (smaller K gains more, as the epilogue
is a larger share of tile time there).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
wgmma.fence.sync.aligned is a warpgroup-wide (128-thread) sync; the
consumer was issuing two per k-chunk (one before the wgmma group, one
after the wait), i.e. 64 warpgroup syncs per output tile. But the fence is
only needed to order non-wgmma writes to the accumulators before a wgmma
reads them -- in steady state the accumulators are touched only by wgmma,
so one fence before the whole K-loop (ordering the accumulator zeroing)
suffices, matching CUTLASS's warpgroup_arrive-once pattern. The per-chunk
wgmma.wait_group 0 still makes results readable for the epilogue.
Kernel-only, bit-exact: 32768 9,426 -> 9,605; 16384 8,420 -> 8,618; 8192
6,591 -> 6,744.

Launch (occupancy × SM-count) CTAs instead of hard-coding SM-count, so the
persistent grid exactly fills the machine for whatever the resource
footprint allows. No change at the shipping config (occ=1/SM), but it's the
correct, self-adapting launch and it drove the 2-CTA/SM experiment.
That experiment is a documented dead end (H200, 2026-07-07): 2 CTAs/SM
needs the compiled register count <=128/thread (2*256*128 = the 64K reg
file), but the resident accumulator that gives the kernel its arithmetic
intensity is 192 regs/thread at MSTRIPS=3. The only way to reach occ=2 is
MSTRIPS=1 (64-reg acc), which collapses AI and drops 16384 from ~8,600 to
~5,500 TOPS. High AI (big accumulator) and high occupancy compete for the
same register file and AI wins -- so 1 CTA/SM with the largest accumulator
under the 255-reg cap is optimal. This confirms on-device that the ~10-13k
TOPS bandwidth wall cannot be moved by raising occupancy.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk:🟠 High · up to c81d2

The PR adds optional Hopper GPU dispatch, but the current CUDA output-store synchronization can race with consumer writes and return incorrect matrix products, so it is not merge-ready until that ordering is corrected. Remaining documentation and benchmark follow-ups are bounded.

While packed bits began to flow.
TMA hopped and wgmma spun,
CPU fallback stayed close by for fun.

Wire the Hopper GPU backend into `fp` behind an optional `gpu` feature and
keep the workspace CI green: `--workspace` builds `fp-cuda`, whose build.rs
emits a stub PTX when nvcc is absent (every ubuntu-latest runner) instead of
panicking. fp-cuda's library API is fp-agnostic (raw limbs), breaking the
dependency cycle so `fp` can dispatch large p=2 products to the device.

- Around line 61-68: Update the nvcc command-status error handling in the build
script so the stub PTX fallback occurs only when the error has
ErrorKind::NotFound. Propagate or fail fast for all other errors instead of
emitting the unavailable-backend warning and writing STUB_PTX.
In `@ext/crates/fp-cuda/examples/bench_kernel.rs`:
- Around line 14-15: Update the benchmark output in main to remove obsolete
claims about scalar B transposition, wgmma starvation, and pending optimization

the current verified bottleneck, including the corresponding messages in the
additional affected section.
In `@ext/crates/fp-cuda/examples/bench_shapes.rs`:
- Around line 23-25: Update the benchmark setup around GpuContext::new and l2_mb
so the L2 capacity is obtained from the selected device’s attributes or supplied
through explicit configuration; do not hardcode 50 MB as a device fact. Ensure
the output labels any configured value as an assumption and uses the actual
capacity for fit/spill calculations.
In `@ext/crates/fp-cuda/README.md`:
- Around line 195-196: Use the consistent Cargo feature name “gpu” in both
documentation references: update the optional feature wording in
ext/crates/fp-cuda/README.md lines 195-196 and the fp feature wording in
ext/Cargo.toml line 79 from “cuda” to “gpu”.
- Around line 26-28: Update the runtime GPU requirement in the fp-cuda README to
remove sm_100 and state that Hopper (sm_90/sm_90a) is required. Keep the
existing explanation about PTX instructions and pre-Hopper incompatibility
unchanged.
In `@ext/crates/fp/src/blas/cuda.rs`:
- Around line 3-4: Replace the stale cuda feature name with gpu in the
documentation for the dispatch module at ext/crates/fp/src/blas/cuda.rs lines
3-4 and the integration test at ext/crates/fp/tests/cuda_dispatch.rs lines 1-2;
update only these feature references and preserve the surrounding dispatch

- Line 22: Add non-tile-aligned matrix shapes to the dimension list in the CUDA
dispatch test loop, such as (2049, 2051, 2053), while retaining the existing
aligned cases. Ensure the added cases exercise edge masking, partial limbs, and
raster-tail handling.
- Around line 26-29: Update the CUDA dispatch test around the dispatched and
reference computations to require a successfully initialized, usable GpuContext
before executing. Obtain the expected value through a direct raw GPU
kernel/result rather than fast_mul_concurrent, and fail or skip explicitly when
CUDA context or launch setup is unavailable so fallback execution cannot make
the test pass.
In `@ext/flake.nix`:
- Around line 47-75: Update the flake’s devShell definitions so
devShells.default uses only commonPackages and does not reference cudaPackages

- build.rs: fall back to the stub PTX only when nvcc is genuinely absent
(io::ErrorKind::NotFound); fail fast on other spawn errors (permissions,
broken exec) instead of silently building the stub.
- flake.nix: move the CUDA toolkit out of the default dev shell into a
dedicated `devShells.gpu` (`nix develop .#gpu`), matching the sibling GPU
PR, so contributors/CI don't fetch the multi-GB unfree CUDA closure for the
opt-in backend. Drop the obsolete cuda-oxide/libclang/bindgen env (the crate
uses cudarc, which dlopens libcuda).
- README/Cargo.toml/cuda.rs: call the Cargo feature `gpu` consistently; note
the kernel is sm_90a-only (architecture-specific, not forward-compatible —
no Blackwell/sm_100).
- cuda_dispatch test: add non-tile-aligned shapes (2049x2051x2053, 3000x2112x4097)
to exercise edge masks, partial limbs, and raster tails.
- bench examples: drop obsolete pre-optimization diagnosis prose; label the
bench_shapes L2 size as an assumption rather than a device fact.

The matmul dispatch serialized every submission behind one Mutex<GpuContext> on the
context's single default stream, so concurrent `&Matrix * &Matrix` from rayon workers
ran one at a time. Add GpuContext::stream() (a lazily-created per-thread CudaStream)
and drop the mutex: GpuContext is Send+Sync (its cudarc handles are), matmul_b1_inner
allocates its device buffers per call and launches non-cooperatively, so concurrent
matmuls run on independent streams — overlapping transfers with compute — with no
shared state to guard. context() now shares a &'static GpuContext; stream() falls back
to the context default stream if creation fails, so a poisoned context degrades to the
CPU path instead of panicking.
This is the foundation the row-reduce concurrency (blas3 PR, stacked on this one)
builds on: it inherits stream() + the lock-free context() and only swaps its own
reduce methods onto per-thread streams.
Validated: gpu_matmul_concurrent (new) runs 16 threads x 6 concurrent GPU matmuls,
each bit-identical to the CPU kernel; existing dispatch test unchanged.

57-69: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Measure the complete host packing path, or rename this metric.

This block times only Matrix::to_bytes, while common::to_limbs additionally converts the bytes into u64 limbs before matmul_b1 launches. Therefore this is not the full host-packing overhead used by the GPU path.

Suggested fix
- // Estimate host overhead: time just serialization + padding+ // Measure host packing used by matmul_b1
let t_host = Instant::now();
- let _a_ser = {- let mut v = Vec::new();- a.to_bytes(&mut v).unwrap();- v- };- let _b_ser = {- let mut v = Vec::new();- b.to_bytes(&mut v).unwrap();- v- };- let host_ser_ms = t_host.elapsed().as_secs_f64() * 1e3;+ let _a_limbs = common::to_limbs(&a);+ let _b_limbs = common::to_limbs(&b);+ let host_pack_ms = t_host.elapsed().as_secs_f64() * 1e3;

Comment threadext/crates/fp-cuda/src/lib.rs Outdated
GpuContext::stream() cached the per-thread stream in a thread-keyed slot with no
context key, so a thread that built two contexts (e.g. one per device) would reuse
the first context's stream for the second — wrong context/device. Move the cache
into the GpuContext itself (Mutex<HashMap<ThreadId, Arc<CudaStream>>>): streams are
now owned by and scoped to the context. The mutex guards only the map lookup, never
a GPU submission, so it does not serialize device work (unlike the whole-op lock
this stream design replaced).
Adds stream_is_scoped_per_context: two GpuContexts on one thread get distinct
streams; each context reuses its own.

… rustfmt
CI was red on three counts, all in the fp-cuda test/doc surface (no code-path
changes):
- test: `stream_is_scoped_per_context` aborted the run on GPU-less CI.
`GpuContext::new` reaches the CUDA driver via cudarc, which *panics* (not
`Err`) when no driver library is present. Add a cached `gpu_available()` probe
(silences the panic hook + catches the unwind, once per test binary); every
device-touching test gates on it and skips cleanly when there is no device, so
the GPU suite is disabled rather than failing off-device.
- docs: public doc on `stream()` linked the private `GpuContext::streams` field
(`-D warnings` + private-intra-doc-links). Reword to a plain code span.
- lint: `cargo fmt --all --check` diffs (long assert!/closure reflows from the
prior commit). Apply rustfmt.

293-305: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Measure GPU kernel time with CUDA events.

The documented return value is average kernel-only time, but Instant records the queued asynchronous launches, so host launch overhead is included; with time_iters == 1, earlier HtoD work is also included until the final clone_dtoh. Use CudaContext::new_event, record before/after the timed launches, synchronize, and return elapsed_ms instead of the host interval.

JoeyBFand others added 3 commits August 14, 2026 23:16
Verbose comments are useful scaffolding while writing a kernel; this is the trim
pass, against the style now written down in ext/CLAUDE.md.
Module docs drop to one line, with the explanation moved onto the item it
describes. Restatements of the code, of what the caller does with a return value,
and of preconditions the caller already checks are gone. Every function in
matmul_b1.cu is documented, including the one-line PTX wrappers, and every unsafe
block in src/lib.rs carries a SAFETY comment naming its obligations.
Development history leaves the code and the README: the "Phase N" numbering meant
something only against a commit sequence a reader does not have. What was tried,
what it gained, and why the alternatives were rejected now lives in
EXPERIMENTS.md, and the README describes the crate as it is -- including why a
binary tensor-core kernel is the right tool here, and why cuBLAS (whose
`cudaDataType` has no 1-bit member) and CUTLASS (whose b1 support stops at SM80's
warp-level mma) cannot supply one.
Comments refer to constants by name rather than by value, which turned up four
stale claims: a tile described as 64x128 bytes that is TILE_M x 128, two "256"
figures that are NB = 128, and a wgmma shape advertised as m64n64k256 and
m64n256k256 where the kernel emits m64n128k256 -- checked against the PTX.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01EFfXYt9zvAvHWhNHnULe6r
Seven constants had to be kept in sync by hand between the kernel and the host,
guarded only by `// must match the kernel` comments. They now live once, in
cuda_kernels/params.h: the kernel includes that header, and build.rs parses it to
generate the Rust mirror, so a tile size cannot drift between the two.
A regex cannot evaluate the C preprocessor, so the parse is checked rather than
trusted: build.rs hands every value it read back to nvcc as -DFP_CUDA_VERIFY_<NAME>,
and params.h static_asserts each one against the macro it came from. A misread
value fails the assert; a knob the parser skipped leaves its verify macro undefined
and fails to compile. Either way the build stops with the constant named, instead
of shipping a host that disagrees with the kernel. The block is inert without
-DFP_CUDA_VERIFY, so the kernel still compiles standalone with a plain nvcc
invocation.
Verified by fault injection: feeding a wrong MSTRIPS fails the static_assert,
dropping GROUP_M fails on the undefined macro, and the correct values produce
byte-identical PTX.

Every fallible function returned Result<_, Box<dyn std::error::Error>>. anyhow is
already a dependency of the workspace root and of `algebra`, so use it here too:
the signatures get shorter and the errors gain context support.
No error site needed a manual conversion -- anyhow::Error converts from any
std::error::Error + Send + Sync, which covers the cudarc driver errors and the
FromUtf8Error from the PTX image. `fp`'s dispatch discards these with .ok()? and
is unaffected.

Phase 9 (264b411) added `__cluster_dims__(CLUSTER,1,1)`, TMA multicast of B
and a cluster-wide empty barrier reached via `mapa`. That makes a cluster's CTAs
co-resident by construction -- a hard placement constraint, so the launch does
not queue for SMs the way an ordinary grid does; when another runtime holds them
it fails outright with CUDA_ERROR_LAUNCH_FAILED. That is the fault compute-
sanitizer could never attribute (0 invalid accesses across a whole run: it was
never a memory bug).
The multicast is not worth that. bench_kernel_only on an idle H200, cluster-free
vs cluster, binary TOPS, correct=true idempotent=true throughout:
4096^3 4091 vs 4071
8192^3 6687 vs 6778
16384^3 8501 vs 8632
32768^3 9608 vs 9664
Within 1.5% everywhere, because GROUP_M rasterization already keeps B resident
in L2, so the second-order saving multicast adds does not show up at these
shapes.
Every cluster construct has an exact single-CTA counterpart, so what remains is
identical arithmetic on an identical tile schedule: rank is 0, cluster_sync
drops (the preceding __syncthreads already orders it), arrive_cluster becomes a
local arrive, multicast becomes a plain TMA load, and the empty barrier counts
1. There is one kernel, `matmul_b1_kernel`, with no cluster attribute and no
opt-in flag -- the CTAs are simply independent, so the grid size is a throughput
parameter only and the host no longer rounds it, or M's padding, to a whole
cluster.
CLUSTER leaves params.h, so build.rs stops mirroring it into the generated Rust
`params` module and its FP_CUDA_VERIFY cross-check goes with it; the parser is
generic, so no build.rs change was needed. STAGES stays 4, but its reason is now
only the measured absence of a large-N speedup at 5 -- the distributed-SMEM
reservation that also made 5 unstable was cluster-only. EXPERIMENTS.md records
the removal and re-words the STAGES entry accordingly.
Phase 8 (60b05cd) is NOT implicated: its persistent loop strides
(`tile += gridDim.x`) and was already work-capped, so grouped rasterization
composes at any grid size. Only the cluster layer goes.
Verified on an H200 (CUDA 12.4 toolkit): matmul_b1_demo bit-exact against the
CPU path for 64..8192, and bench_kernel_only 4104 / 6967 / 8454 / 9573 binary
TOPS at 4096^3..32768^3, correct=true idempotent=true. The generated PTX has
exactly one entry point and no cluster attribute, `mapa` or multicast.

The removal left three comments explaining the design that is gone rather than
the one that is there, which is what EXPERIMENTS.md is for. The kernel header
drops to a statement that the CTAs are independent plus a pointer; `arrive_local`
keeps the invariant that makes a local arrive sufficient and loses the
co-residency aside; the persistent-grid comment in the host keeps why the grid
size is free and loses the contrast with placement.
`tma_2d` gains a note that `.shared::cluster` is the PTX name of the state space
the bulk-copy family addresses, not a cluster requirement -- it is the one thing
in the file that still reads like a cluster dependency after the removal.
The README throughput table was measured with clusters on 2026-07-07, so it no
longer described the shipped kernel. Replaced with the cluster-free figures from
the removal commit (4104 / 6967 / 8454 / 9573 binary TOPS); the ms/launch column
is those TOPS converted, not a separate measurement.

Remove the stale Nix TODO.

The supplied ext/flake.nix already defines an opt-in devShells.gpu with cudatoolkit, CUDA_PATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This bullet incorrectly says that parent-flake nvcc support is still pending. Update or remove it.

391-425: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Reduce the cost of the host-side bit transpose.

The inner three loops run 64 * KL * 64 iterations for every real limb, so the total is k_chunks * n_lim * 65536 single-bit shifts. At k = n = 32768 that is about 1.07e9 iterations on one thread. This host cost is charged to every matmul_b1_raw call, while the kernel itself runs in milliseconds. It therefore sets the practical dispatch threshold in ext/crates/fp/src/blas/cuda.rs.

Two independent improvements apply:

  • Replace the per-bit gather with a blocked 64×64 bit-matrix transpose. The standard recursive delta-swap form uses about 6 * 64 word operations per 64×64 block instead of 64 * 64 bit operations.
  • Parallelize the outer kk/cg loops. Each (kk, cg) pair writes a disjoint tile-sized slice of out, so the work partitions without synchronization.

interleave_a is a plain copy, so transpose_b is the only marshalling hot spot.

Fence each writer before the CTA barrier.

fence.proxy.async.shared::cta orders only the executing thread’s prior generic-proxy shared-memory writes. The current post-barrier fence does not ensure that all consumer writes are fenced before thread t == 0 starts the TMA store. Move fence_async_shared() before __syncthreads() so the barrier follows every consumer’s fence.

The stub PTX declared `.version 7.8` alongside `.target sm_90a`, but sm_90a was
introduced in PTX ISA 8.0, so the pair was internally inconsistent; nvcc 12.9
emits `.version 8.8` for that target. Raised to 8.0, the lowest version that
admits sm_90a, so the stub stays loadable by older drivers.
Note this was not observed to break anything: ptxas 12.9 assembles the stub for
sm_90a under either version, so the documented failure path -- module loads, then
`load_function("matmul_b1_kernel")` fails and the caller degrades to CPU -- held
in practice.
Also: the benchmark's manual throughput line is labelled binary TOPS, not TFLOPS,
which is what the code actually reports; and the module docs of the two profiling
examples get the usual one-line summary before their body.

fence.proxy.async.shared::cta orders only the executing thread's prior
generic-proxy writes. With the fence after __syncthreads() only t == 0 ran
it, leaving the other consumers' atomicXor packing unfenced when the TMA
store read sC.
Verified on an H200: output stays bit-exact across matmul_b1_demo and the
kernel-only bench. The reorder costs ~0.96% at 4096 and ~0.73% at 8192, and
is at noise level at 16384/32768 where the kernel operates.
Also drops the stale Nix TODO from the README (flake.nix now has
devShells.gpu) and documents the opt-in shell in Building.

The column read "TOPS" while the values come from matmul_b1_timed, which
