Matrix Multiplication
======================
In this tutorial, you will write a 25-lines high-performance FP16 matrix multiplication kernel that achieves performance on par with cuBLAS.
You will specifically learn about:
- Block-level matrix multiplications
- Multi-dimensional pointer arithmetic
- Program re-ordering for improved L2 cache hit rate
- Automatic performance tuning

Motivations
-------------
Matrix multiplications are a key building block of most modern high-performance computing systems.
They are notoriously hard to optimize, hence their implementation is generally done by hardware vendors themselves as part of so-called "kernel libraries" (e.g., cuBLAS).
Unfortunately, these libraries are often proprietary and cannot be easily customized to accomodate the needs of modern deep learning workloads (e.g., fused activation functions).
In this tutorial, you will learn how to implement efficient matrix multiplications by yourself with Triton, in a way that is easy to customize and extend.
Roughly speaking, the kernel that we will write will implement the following blocked algorithm:
.. code-block:: python
# do in parallel
for m in range(0, M, BLOCK_M):
# do in parallel
for n in range(0, N, BLOCK_N):
acc = zeros((BLOCK_M, BLOCK_N), dtype=float32)
for k in range(0, K, BLOCK_K):
a = A[m : m+BLOCK_M, k : k+BLOCK_K]
b = B[k : k+BLOCK_K, n : n+BLOCK_N]
acc += dot(a, b)
C[m : m+BLOCK_M, n : n+BLOCK_N] = acc;
where each iteration of the doubly-nested for-loop corresponds to a Triton program instance.

Compute Kernel
----------------
The above algorithm is, actually, fairly straightforward to implement in Triton.
The main difficulty comes from the computation of the memory locations at which blocks of :code:`A` and :code:`B` must be read in the inner loop. For that, we need multi-dimensional pointer arithmetics.
Pointer Arithmetics
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For a row-major 2D tensor :code:`X`, the memory location of :code:`X[i, j]` is given by :code:`&X[i, j] = X + i*stride_x_0 + j*stride_x_1`.
Therefore, blocks of pointers for :code:`A[m : m+BLOCK_M, k:k+BLOCK_K]` and :code:`B[k : k+BLOCK_K, n : n+BLOCK_N]` can be defined in pseudo-code as:
.. code-block:: python
&A[m : m+BLOCK_M, k:k+BLOCK_K] = A + (m : m+BLOCK_M)[:, None]*A.stride(0) + (k : k+BLOCK_K)[None, :]*A.stride(1);
&B[k : k+BLOCK_K, n:n+BLOCK_N] = B + (k : k+BLOCK_K)[:, None]*B.stride(0) + (n : n+BLOCK_N)[None, :]*B.stride(1);
Which means that pointers for blocks of A and B can be initialized (i.e., :code:`k=0`) in Triton as:
.. code-block:: python
pid_m = triton.program_id(0)
pid_n = triton.program_id(1)
rm = pid_m * BLOCK_M + triton.arange(0, BLOCK_M)
rn = pid_n * BLOCK_N + triton.arange(0, BLOCK_N)
rk = triton.arange(0, BLOCK_K)
// pointer for A operand
pa = A + (rm[:, None] * stride_a_0 + rk[None, :] * stride_a_1);
// pointer for B operand
pb = B + (rk[:, None] * stride_b_0 + rn[None, :] * stride_b_1);
And then updated in the inner loop as follows:
.. code-block:: python
pa += BLOCK_K * stride_a_1;
pb += BLOCK_K * stride_b_0;
L2 Cache Optimizations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As mentioned above, each program instance computes an :code:`[BLOCK_M, BLOCK_N]` block of :code:`C`.
It is important to remember that the order in which these blocks are computed does matter, since it affects the L2 cache hit rate of our program.
And unfortunately, a simple row-major ordering
.. code-block:: Python
pid = triton.program_id(0);
grid_m = (M + BLOCK_M - 1) // BLOCK_M;
grid_n = (N + BLOCK_N - 1) // BLOCK_N;
pid_m = pid / grid_n;
pid_n = pid % grid_n;
is just not going to cut it.
One possible solution is to launch blocks in an order that promotes data reuse.
This can be done by 'super-grouping' blocks in groups of :code:`GROUP_M` rows before switching to the next column:
.. code-block:: python
pid = triton.program_id(0);
width = GROUP_M * grid_n;
group_id = pid // width;
# we need to handle the case where M % (GROUP_M*BLOCK_M) != 0
group_size = min(grid_m - group_id * GROUP_M, GROUP_M);
pid_m = group_id * GROUP_M + (pid % group_size);
pid_n = (pid % width) // (group_size);
In practice, this can improve the performance of our matrix multiplication kernel by >10\% on some hardware architecture (e.g., 220 to 245 TFLOPS on A100).
