# CUTLASS Epilogues
## Introduction
This document describes the various CUTLASS epilogues implemented for fusing de-quantization operations onto GEMMs.
This document describes the various CUTLASS epilogues implemented for fusing de-quantization operations onto GEMMs.
Currently, we only support symmetric quantization for weights,
and symmetric and asymmetric quantization for activations.
Both can be quantized per-tensor or per-channel (weights) / per-token (activations).
There are 4 epilogues:
1. ScaledEpilogue: symmetric quantization for activations, no bias.
1. ScaledEpilogueBias: symmetric quantization for activations, supports bias.
1. ScaledEpilogueAzp: asymmetric per-tensor quantization for activations, supports bias.
1. ScaledEpilogueAzpPerToken: asymmetric per-token quantization for activations, supports bias.
1. `ScaledEpilogue`: symmetric quantization for activations, no bias.
1. `ScaledEpilogueBias`: symmetric quantization for activations, supports bias.
1. `ScaledEpilogueAzp`: asymmetric per-tensor quantization for activations, supports bias.
1. `ScaledEpilogueAzpPerToken`: asymmetric per-token quantization for activations, supports bias.
We do not have epilogues for asymmetric quantization of activations without bias in order to reduce final binary size.
Instead, if no bias is passed, the epilogue will use 0 as the bias.

Because $` z_a `$ is a scalar, the zero-point term $` z_a J_a \widehat B `$ has every row equal to $` z_a \mathbf 1 B `$.
Because $` z_a `$ is a scalar, the zero-point term $` z_a J_a \widehat B `$ has every row equal to $` z_a \mathbf 1 B `$.
That is precomputed and stored in `azp_with_adj` as a row-vector.
Epilogue parameters:
- `scale_a` is the scale for activations, can be per-tensor (scalar) or per-token (column-vector).
- Generally this will be per-tensor as the zero-points are per-tensor.

This epilogue computes the asymmetric per-token quantization for activations with bias.
The output of the GEMM is the same as above, but the $` z_a `$ is a column-vector.
That means the zero-point term $` z_a J_a \widehat B `$ becomes an outer product of $` z_a `$ and $` \mathbf 1 \widehat B `$.
