Vijay Krishnan developed the CK_TILE kernel for GEMM operations in the StreamHPC/rocm-libraries repository, focusing on groupwise quantization of the B tensor to enhance low-precision matrix multiplication. He implemented a technical approach that loads scale tensors into registers for efficient dequantization and enables quantization from either A or B operands, increasing flexibility. His work introduced new pipelines using an Intrawave scheduler and block GEMM primitives, supporting data types such as fp8, bf8, and i4. Leveraging C++ and expertise in GPU programming and kernel development, Vijay delivered a deep, foundational feature that broadens quantization strategies for high-performance computing.

August 2025: Delivered the CK_TILE kernel for GEMM with groupwise quantization of the B tensor, enabling dequantization by loading scale tensors into registers and allowing quantization from either A or B operands. Implemented new pipelines with an Intrawave scheduler and block GEMM primitives to support multiple data-type combinations, including fp8/bf8 with i4. This work improves low-precision GEMM performance, enhances quantization flexibility, and lays the groundwork for broader quantization strategies in StreamHPC/rocm-libraries.
