CUDA MODE ▷ #bitnet (22 messages🔥):

• The new FPx kernel from FP6-LLM can perform FP16 operations with FPx for x ranging from 1 to 7, though FP1 and FP2 are less practical. Limitations include lack of support for group-wise quantization. Benchmarks for different quantization methods on wikitext show varied perplexity and token speeds. Ongoing work to develop an end-to-end test case for uint2 quantization and ongoing benchmarking tasks. Using FPx-LLM kernel, FP2 and FP4 multiplications show speedups ranging from 3.77x to 10.64x over FP16 multiplications, depending on matrix sizes. Discussion on challenges in implementing fp16 -> fp8 conversions, noting potential slowdowns despite hardware instructions availability.
