Grouped GEMM
Theory
This example demonstrates grouped GEMM: performing multiple independent GEMM operations (with potentially different shapes) in a single kernel launch. Grouped GEMM is used in transformer models (e.g., multi-head attention), mixture-of-experts, and other architectures requiring heterogeneous batched matrix multiplications.
Mathematical Formulation:
For G groups, each with its own A_g, B_g, C_g:
C_g = A_g \times B_g \quad \text{for} \quad g = 1, 2, ..., G
A_g: [M_g, K_g] input matrix for groupgB_g: [K_g, N_g] weight matrix for groupgC_g: [M_g, N_g] output matrix for groupg
Algorithmic Background:
- Each group can have different matrix sizes and strides.
- The kernel launches a grid covering all groups, with each block assigned to a group.
- Useful for variable-length sequences, multi-head attention, and expert routing.
