📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds sm120 support to Frost GEMM. It adds tile configurations, kernel registration, persistent execution, epilogue handling, host launch code, automatic strategy selection, comprehensive validation, and a multi-library benchmark.

Changes

sm120 GEMM support

Layer / File(s) Summary
sm120 strategy catalog and selection
python/cudnn/gemm/frost/__init__.py, python/cudnn/gemm/frost/tile_config.py, python/cudnn/gemm/frost/kernel_registry.py
The catalog defines sm120 geometry, fixed clustering, hardware limits, and 384-thread configurations. The registry adds sm120 capability checks, template routing, pipeline conversion, and preferred strategy selection.
Compiler strategy and epilogue integration
python/cudnn/gemm/frost/compiler.py
Epilogue vector sizing now applies pipeline-specific limits. TMA-store rendering remains enabled only for sm100, sm103, and sm107. Automatic planning uses preferred strategies and chain-aware validation.
sm120 kernel implementation
python/cudnn/gemm/frost/kernel_templates/sm120_matmul.py
The new template implements persistent execution, CLC scheduling, TMA operand transfers, warp MMA, TMA and transposed-STG epilogues, host launch, and cached compilation.
sm120 integration validation
test/python/gemm/frost/test_sm120_matmul.py
Tests cover registry wiring, tile configuration, routing, scope gates, rendering, GPU correctness, batching, broadcast inputs, fused bias/ReLU, rejection, and automatic selection.
sm120 GEMM benchmark
benchmark/gemm/frost/benchmark_matmul_sm120.py
The benchmark compares Frost with cuBLAS, CUTLASS, TensorRT, b12x, and FlashInfer across configurable shapes, timing modes, correctness checks, TFLOPS reporting, and CSV export.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 92c98

The SM120 matmul support can fail on zero-K inputs, produce inconsistent results under concurrent compilation, skip required layout validation, and report misleading benchmark timings. The PR is not merge-ready until these bounded correctness and measurement issues are addressed or explicitly accepted.

3385-3401: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the shared render-mode state.

_FORCE_STG_EPI is process-global. Concurrent JIT calls with different force_stg_epi values can change the mode between _store_modes, generate, and _render_template. One compilation can then generate snippets for one epilogue arm and render the other arm.

Pass the mode through the rendering calls, or use execution-local state.

Handle zero-K automatic swizzling.

When tile_swizzle_n == 0 and a nonempty GEMM reaches _kernel with k == 0, _auto_swizzle_w computes row_bytes == 0 and divides by zero while calculating cap. Reject zero-K shapes upstream or guard this denominator.
