# Composable Kernel GEMM
# Client Example: Basic GEMM
## Theory
This client example demonstrates a basic **GEMM (General Matrix Multiplication)** operation using the Composable Kernel library. GEMM is a core operation in linear algebra and deep learning, computing the product of two matrices and optionally adding a bias or scaling.
**Mathematical Formulation:**
$$
C = \alpha (A \times B) + \beta D
$$
- $A$: [M, K] input matrix
- $B$: [K, N] weight matrix
- $D$: [M, N] optional bias or residual
- $C$: [M, N] output
- $\alpha, \beta$: scalars (often 1.0, 0.0)
**Algorithmic Background:**
- The operation is implemented using a tiled/blocking strategy for memory efficiency.
- GEMM is the computational backbone for transformer attention, MLPs, and CNNs (via im2col).
## GEMM
General matrix multiplications operation. In CK GEMM operation is called as `DeviceGemm` and requires following types as template parameters:

## How to Run
### Prerequisites
Please follow the instructions in the main [Build Guide](../../README.md#building-ck) section as a prerequisite to building and running this example.
### Build and run
```bash
cd composable_kernel/client_example/01_gemm
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/opt/rocm/bin/hipcc ..
make -j
# Example run
./gemm
```
## Source Code Structure
### Directory Layout
```
client_example/01_gemm/
├── gemm.cpp # Main client example: sets up, runs, and verifies GEMM
├── CMakeLists.txt # Build configuration for the example
```
### Key Functions
- **main()** (in `gemm.cpp`):
Sets up input matrices, configures GEMM parameters, launches the GEMM kernel, and verifies the result.
- **GEMM kernel invocation**:
Uses the Composable Kernel device API to launch the GEMM operation.
This client example provides a minimal, end-to-end demonstration of using Composable Kernel for matrix multiplication in a user application.
