A new paper introduces a missing fourth term, the residue deconstruction cost, to the Tensor-Memory Equilibrium (TME) model. This term accounts for the per-input deconstruction cost required before matrix multiplication can occur, particularly for streamed operands. The authors calibrate this term using the cuBLAS emulation path and establish an operational-intensity threshold below which emulation performance is limited compared to native fp64. AI
