January 2025 (flashinfer-ai/flashinfer) monthly summary: Focused on correctness and performance improvements for NVIDIA Hopper (sm90) by introducing dynamic SM count retrieval for CTA scheduling. The change replaces a hardcoded SM count with a CUDA API query to determine the device's actual SM count, improving scheduling correctness, stability, and GPU utilization for Hopper-based inference workloads. The fix is isolated to GPU scheduling logic and completed with clear traceability for review.
