Client Example: Grouped GEMM with FastGELU Activation
Theory
This client example demonstrates grouped GEMM fused with FastGELU activation. Grouped GEMM performs multiple independent GEMM operations (with potentially different shapes) in a single kernel launch, and FastGELU is a fast approximation of the GELU activation used in transformers and MLPs.
Mathematical Formulation:
For G groups, each with its own A_g, B_g:
- GEMM:
Y_g = A_g \times B_g - FastGELU:
E_g = \text{FastGELU}(Y_g)
FastGELU is defined as:
\text{FastGELU}(x) = x \cdot \sigma(1.702 \cdot x)
where \sigma is the sigmoid function.
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.
- FastGELU is applied in the epilogue for each group.
How to Run
Prerequisites

Key Functions
- main() (in
grouped_gemm_fastgelu.cpp):
Sets up input matrices for each group, configures GEMM and epilogue parameters, launches the grouped kernel, and verifies the result. - Grouped GEMM kernel invocation:
Uses the Composable Kernel device API to launch grouped GEMM with FastGELU activation.
Additional Details
- Supports multiple groups with different matrix shapes.
- Example parameters can be adjusted in the source for different workloads.
