New TME Model Term Accounts for Residue Deconstruction Cost

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

IMPACT Refines performance modeling for AI hardware, potentially impacting kernel optimization and hardware design choices.

    The Missing Fourth Term for the Emulation Tensor Memory Equilibrium (TME) Model: The Residue Deconstruction Cost

    arXiv:2610.10924v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The Tensor-Memory Equilibrium (TME) model of "FP8 is All You Need (Part 1)" calculates the execution time of Ozaki Scheme II emulation of fp64 as the maximum of a tensor-core term and a High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) traffic term, pl…
