The kernel uses TileLang, compiled to SM100 (Blackwell) CUBIN.
The kernel uses native NVFP4 block-scaled MMA via tcgen05.mma
kind::mxf8f6f4.block_scale on Blackwell (SM100).
Strategy:
TileLang's tcgen05_gemm_blockscaled currently supports MXFP8 (FP8 + E8M0 scales).
NVFP4 uses E2M1 packed weights + UE4M3 scales with group_size=16.
We use a dequantize-then-GEMM approach:
1. Load packed FP4 (int8) weights + UE4M3 (uint32) scales into shared memory
2. Dequantize to BF16 in shared memory (FP4 → BF16 using UE4M3 block scales)
3. Run regular BF16 GEMM via T.gemm (auto-lowers to tcgen05 on Blackwell)
This is correct and will be replaced with native FP4 block-scaled MMA once
TileLang adds tcgen05.mma kind::mxf8f6f4.block_scale support for E2M1+UE4M3.
Native NVFP4 path:
E2M1 (int8, 2 vals/byte) × E2M1 + UE4M3 block-16 scales
→ native hardware block-scaled MMA in tensor cores
→ float32 accumulator
This replaces the dequantize-then-BF16-GEMM approach. The native path
performs the E2M1 × E2M1 with UE4M3 block scaling entirely in hardware,
avoiding the costly dequantization step.

"""
Native NVFP4 Block-Scaled GEMM using tcgen05.mma kind::mxf8f6f4.block_scale.
This module provides the native NVFP4 tensor core GEMM for Blackwell (SM100).
It uses the mxf8f6f4.block_scale PTX instruction which natively performs
E2M1 × E2M1 multiplication with UE4M3 block-16 scaling in tensor cores.
Architecture:
- A: E2M1 packed (int8, 2 values per byte) in global → SMEM via TMA
- B: E2M1 packed (int8, 2 values per byte) in global → SMEM via TMA
- SFA: UE4M3 (float8_e4m3fn) in global → SMEM via TMA → TMEM via tcgen05.ld
- SFB: UE4M3 (float8_e4m3fn) in global → SMEM via TMA → TMEM via tcgen05.ld
- C: accumulated in TMEM, stored to global memory
The key PTX instruction:
tcgen05.mma.cta_group::1.kind::mxf8f6f4.block_scale [tmem_c],
desc_a, desc_b, idescE, [tsfa_addr], [tsfb_addr], pred;
This is the native hardware path for NVFP4 block-scaled MMA on Blackwell.
No dequantization is performed — the hardware does E2M1×E2M1 with UE4M3
block scaling natively in the tensor cores.
Implementation Strategy:
We compile the CUDA kernel at runtime using torch.utils.cpp_extension.load.
The CUDA kernel uses inline PTX for the mxf8f6f4.block_scale instruction
and TMA for efficient global→SMEM transfers.
For the MoE (Mixture of Experts) use case, we support grouped GEMM where
each expert has its own weight matrix and scale factors, and tokens are
routed to specific experts via top-k indices.
