# GEMM Matrix Multiplication
# GEMM with CK Tile
This folder contains example for GEMM using ck_tile tile-programming implementation. Currently, it only supports the basic feature of the CK Tile GEMM, but creates the placeholders for the future support on different GEMM pipeline and different GEMM modules. In the near future, we will gradually migrate all the GEMM features from old CK to CK Tile.
This example demonstrates matrix multiplication (GEMM) using the CK Tile programming model, focusing on tile-based parallelism and modular kernel design.

## Algorithm and Math
GEMM computes:
$$
C = A \times B
$$
where $A$ is $[M, K]$, $B$ is $[N, K]$, and $C$ is $[M, N]$.
- **BlockTile GEMM**: Each Block Tile computes a tile of $C$ by loading tiles of $A$ and $B$, performing blockwise matrix multiply-accumulation, and writing results back with the epilogue.
---
## Tile Programming Model
- **Configuration**: The Configuration of how the kernel going to be initialized with Block Tile Dimension, Warps Layout, Warp Tile Dimension, and other improvements.
- **Block Tile**: Each block tile allocates in the compute unit of AMD GPU grabbing the .
- **Pipeline**: Modular design allows swapping different memory/computation pipelines (e.g., basic, memory-bound, compute).
- **Block GEMM**: Block Level implementation on how to coordinate the warps iteration and memory layout in block tile.
- **Warp GEMM**: Each Warp's GEMM Calculation
- **Epilogue**: Transferring the Accumulated result from register to global memory.
---
## Features
- **Flexible Layouts**: Supports row/column-major and custom strides for $A$, $B$, $C$.
- **Split K**: Split the Block Tile also on K Dimension and add it back after the matrix multiply-accumulation. Have a higher performance when M and N is small and K is large.
- **Preshuffled GEMM**: In inference task, shuffle the GEMM of B (weight) matrix in the warp layout and bypass the shared memory to do the GEMM calculation. Best performance solution for GEMM.
- **Precision**: Supports fp16, bf16, fp8, bf8, int4 (for B Matrix).
- **Validation**: CPU/GPU validation and error tolerance options.
