# Quickstart

## Prerequisites

CUTLASS requires:
- NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit (11.4 or later required, [12.0](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit) recommended)
- CMake 3.18+
- host compiler supporting C++17 or greater (minimum g++ 7.5.0)
- Python 3.6+

CUTLASS may be optionally compiled and linked with
- cuBLAS
- cuDNN v7.6 or later

## Initial build steps

Construct a build directory and run CMake.
```bash
$ export CUDACXX=${CUDA_INSTALL_PATH}/bin/nvcc

$ mkdir build && cd build

$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS=90a             # compiles for NVIDIA Hopper GPU architecture
```

If your goal is strictly to build only the CUTLASS Profiler and to minimize compilation time, we suggest
executing the following CMake command in an empty `build/` directory.
```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS=90a -DCUTLASS_ENABLE_TESTS=OFF -DCUTLASS_UNITY_BUILD_ENABLED=ON
```

This reduces overall compilation time by excluding unit tests and enabling the unity build.

You may reduce build times by compiling only certain operations by setting the `CUTLASS_LIBRARY_OPERATIONS` flag as shown below,
executed from an empty `build/` directory. This only compiles 2-D convolution kernels.

```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS=90a -DCUTLASS_LIBRARY_OPERATIONS=conv2d
```

You may also filter kernels by name by supplying a filter string with flag `CUTLASS_LIBRARY_KERNELS`. For example the below command selects only CUTLASS-3 kernels.

```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS=90a -DCUTLASS_LIBRARY_KERNELS=cutlass3x*
```
See more examples on selectively compiling CUTLASS GEMM and convolution kernels [here](quickstart.md#example-cmake-commands).

You may explicitly exclude cuBLAS and cuDNN as dependencies with the following CMake flags.
- `-DCUTLASS_ENABLE_CUBLAS=OFF`
- `-DCUTLASS_ENABLE_CUDNN=OFF`


## Build and run the CUTLASS Profiler

From the `build/` directory created above, compile the CUTLASS Profiler.
```bash
$ make cutlass_profiler -j12
```

Then execute the CUTLASS Profiler computing GEMM, execute the following command.
```bash
$ ./tools/profiler/cutlass_profiler --kernels=sgemm --m=4352 --n=4096 --k=4096

See [documentation for the CUTLASS Profiler](profiler.md) for more details.

## Build and run CUTLASS Unit Tests

From the `build/` directory created above, simply build the target `test_unit` to compile and run
all unit tests.

```bash
$ make test_unit -j
...
...
...
[----------] Global test environment tear-down
[==========] 946 tests from 57 test cases ran. (10812 ms total)
[  PASSED  ] 946 tests.
$
```
The exact number of tests run is subject to change as we add more functionality.

No tests should fail. Unit tests automatically construct the appropriate runtime filters
to avoid executing on architectures that do not support all features under test.

The unit tests are arranged hierarchically mirroring the CUTLASS Template Library. This enables
parallelism in building and running tests as well as reducing compilation times when a specific
set of tests are desired.

For example, the following executes strictly the warp-level GEMM tests.
```bash
$ make test_unit_gemm_warp -j
...
...
[----------] 3 tests from SM75_warp_gemm_tensor_op_congruous_f16
[ RUN      ] SM75_warp_gemm_tensor_op_congruous_f16.128x128x8_32x128x8_16x8x8

```

## Building for Multiple Architectures

To minimize compilation time, specific GPU architectures can be enabled via the CMake command,
selected by [CUDA Compute Capability.](https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-c-programming-guide/index.html#compute-capabilities)

**NVIDIA Hopper Architecture.**
```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS=90a              # compiles for NVIDIA Hopper GPU architecture
```

**NVIDIA Ampere Architecture.**

```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS=80               # compiles for NVIDIA Ampere GPU architecture
```

**NVIDIA Turing Architecture.**
```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS=75               # compiles for NVIDIA Turing GPU architecture
```

**NVIDIA Volta Architecture.**
```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS=70               # compiles for NVIDIA Volta GPU architecture
```

**NVIDIA Pascal Architecture.**
```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS="60;61"          # compiles for NVIDIA Pascal GPU architecture
```

**NVIDIA Maxwell Architecture.**
```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS="50;53"          # compiles for NVIDIA Maxwell GPU architecture
```

## Using CUTLASS within other applications

Applications should list [`/include`](/include) within their include paths. They must be
compiled as C++17 or greater.

**Example:** print the contents of a variable storing half-precision data.
```c++
#include <iostream>
#include <cutlass/cutlass.h>
#include <cutlass/numeric_types.h>
#include <cutlass/core_io.h>

int main() {

  cutlass::half_t x = 2.25_hf;

  std::cout << x << std::endl;

  return 0;
}
```

## Launching a GEMM kernel in CUDA

**Example:** launch a mixed-precision GEMM targeting Turing Tensor Cores.

_Note, this example uses CUTLASS Utilities. Be sure `tools/util/include` is listed as an include path._
```c++
#include <cutlass/numeric_types.h>
#include <cutlass/gemm/device/gemm.h>

#include <cutlass/util/host_tensor.h>

int main() {

  // Define the GEMM operation
  using Gemm = cutlass::gemm::device::Gemm<
    cutlass::half_t,                           // ElementA
    cutlass::layout::ColumnMajor,              // LayoutA
    cutlass::half_t,                           // ElementB
    cutlass::layout::ColumnMajor,              // LayoutB
    cutlass::half_t,                           // ElementOutput
    cutlass::layout::ColumnMajor,              // LayoutOutput
    float,                                     // ElementAccumulator
    cutlass::arch::OpClassTensorOp,            // tag indicating Tensor Cores
    cutlass::arch::Sm75                        // tag indicating target GPU compute architecture
  >;

  Gemm gemm_op;
  cutlass::Status status;

  //
  // Define the problem size
  //
  int M = 512;
  int N = 256;
  int K = 128;

  float alpha = 1.25f;
  float beta = -1.25f;

  //
  // Allocate device memory
  //

  cutlass::HostTensor<cutlass::half_t, cutlass::layout::ColumnMajor> A({M, K});
  cutlass::HostTensor<cutlass::half_t, cutlass::layout::ColumnMajor> B({K, N});
  cutlass::HostTensor<cutlass::half_t, cutlass::layout::ColumnMajor> C({M, N});

  cutlass::half_t const *ptrA = A.device_data();
  cutlass::half_t const *ptrB = B.device_data();
  cutlass::half_t const *ptrC = C.device_data();
  cutlass::half_t       *ptrD = C.device_data();

  int lda = A.device_ref().stride(0);
  int ldb = B.device_ref().stride(0);
  int ldc = C.device_ref().stride(0);
  int ldd = C.device_ref().stride(0);
  //
  // Launch GEMM on the device
  //

  status = gemm_op({
    {M, N, K},
    {ptrA, lda},            // TensorRef to A device tensor
    {ptrB, ldb},            // TensorRef to B device tensor
    {ptrC, ldc},            // TensorRef to C device tensor
    {ptrD, ldd},            // TensorRef to D device tensor - may be the same as C
    {alpha, beta}           // epilogue operation arguments
  });

  if (status != cutlass::Status::kSuccess) {
    return -1;
  }

  return 0;
}
```

Note, the above could be simplified as follows using helper methods defined in `HostTensor`.
```c++
  cutlass::HostTensor<cutlass::half_t, cutlass::layout::ColumnMajor> A({M, K});
  cutlass::HostTensor<cutlass::half_t, cutlass::layout::ColumnMajor> B({K, N});
  cutlass::HostTensor<cutlass::half_t, cutlass::layout::ColumnMajor> C({M, N});

  //
  // Use the TensorRef returned by HostTensor::device_ref().
  //

  status = gemm_op({
    {M, N, K},
    A.device_ref(),            // TensorRef to A device tensor
    B.device_ref(),            // TensorRef to B device tensor
    C.device_ref(),            // TensorRef to C device tensor
    C.device_ref(),            // TensorRef to D device tensor - may be the same as C
    {alpha, beta}              // epilogue operation arguments
  });
```

# CUTLASS Library

The [CUTLASS Library](/tools/library) defines an API for managing and executing collections of compiled
kernel instances and launching them from host code without template instantiations in client code.

The host-side launch API is designed to be analogous to BLAS implementations for convenience, though its
kernel selection procedure is intended only to be functionally sufficient. It may not launch the
optimal tile size for a given problem. It chooses the first available kernel whose data types,
layouts, and alignment constraints satisfy the given problem. Kernel instances and a data structure
describing them are completely available to client applications which may choose to implement their
own selection logic.

[cuBLAS](https://developer.nvidia.com/cublas) offers the best performance and functional coverage
for dense matrix computations on NVIDIA GPUs.

The CUTLASS Library is used by the CUTLASS Profiler to manage kernel instances, and it is also used
by several SDK examples.

* [10_planar_complex](/examples/10_planar_complex/planar_complex.cu)
* [11_planar_complex_array](/examples/11_planar_complex_array/planar_complex_array.cu)

The CUTLASS Library defines enumerated types describing numeric data types, matrix and tensor
layouts, math operation classes, complex transformations, and more.

Client applications should specify [`tools/library/include`](/tools/library/include) in their
include paths and link against libcutlas_lib.so.

The CUTLASS SDK example [10_planar_complex](/examples/10_planar_complex/CMakeLists.txt) specifies
its dependency on the CUTLASS Library with the following CMake command.
```
target_link_libraries(
  10_planar_complex
  PRIVATE
  cutlass_lib
  cutlass_tools_util_includes
)
```

A sample kernel launch from host-side C++ is shown as follows.

```c++
#include "cutlass/library/library.h"
#include "cutlass/library/handle.h"

int main() {

  //
  // Define the problem size
  //
  int M = 512;
  int N = 256;
  int K = 128;

  float alpha = 1.25f;
  float beta = -1.25f;

  //
  // Allocate device memory
  //

  cutlass::HostTensor<float, cutlass::layout::ColumnMajor> A({M, K});
  cutlass::HostTensor<float, cutlass::layout::ColumnMajor> B({K, N});
  cutlass::HostTensor<float, cutlass::layout::ColumnMajor> C({M, N});

  float const *ptrA = A.device_data();
  float const *ptrB = B.device_data();
  float const *ptrC = C.device_data();
  float       *ptrD = C.device_data();

  int lda = A.device_ref().stride(0);
  int ldb = B.device_ref().stride(0);
  int ldc = C.device_ref().stride(0);
  int ldd = D.device_ref().stride(0);

  cutlass::Status status = handle.gemm(
    M,
    N,
    K,

    cutlass::library::NumericTypeID::kF32,          // data type of internal accumulation

    &alpha,                                         // pointer to alpha scalar

    cutlass::library::NumericTypeID::kF32,          // data type of A matrix
    cutlass::library::LayoutTypeID::kColumnMajor,   // layout of A matrix
    ptrA,                                           // pointer to A matrix in device memory

# Example CMake Commands

To instantiate all operations supporting all tile sizes, data types, and alignment constraints, specify
`-DCUTLASS_LIBRARY_KERNELS=all` when running `cmake`.
```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS='70;75;80' -DCUTLASS_LIBRARY_KERNELS=all
```
The above command line generates about twenty thousand kernels targeting NVIDIA Ampere, Turing, and Volta architectures.
Compiling thousands of kernels for three different architectures is time-consuming. Additionally, this would also result
in a large binary size and on some platforms linker to fail on building the library.

Enabling the "unity build" instantiates multiple kernel instances in each compilation unit, thereby reducing binary size
and avoiding linker limitations on some platforms.
```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS="70;75;80" -DCUTLASS_LIBRARY_KERNELS=all -DCUTLASS_UNITY_BUILD_ENABLED=ON
```

It is advised to only compile CUTLASS kernels for NVIDIA architectures one plans on running. Furthermore, kernels
can be selectively included in the CUTLASS Library by specifying filter strings and wildcard characters when executing CMake.

Several examples are defined below for convenience. They may be combined as a comma-delimited list.
Compling only the kernels desired reduces compilation time.


## GEMM CMake Examples
**Example.** All GEMM kernels targeting NVIDIA Ampere Tensor Cores.
```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS=80 -DCUTLASS_LIBRARY_KERNELS=tensorop*gemm
```

**Example.** All GEMM kernels targeting NVIDIA Turing Tensor Cores.
```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS=75 -DCUTLASS_LIBRARY_KERNELS=tensorop*gemm
```

**Example.** All GEMM kernels with FP32 accumulation targeting NVIDIA Ampere, Turing, and Volta architectures.
```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS="70;75;80" -DCUTLASS_LIBRARY_KERNELS=s*gemm
```

**Example.** All kernels which expect A and B to be column-major or row-major targeting NVIDIA Ampere, Turing, and Volta architectures.
```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS="70;75;80" -DCUTLASS_LIBRARY_KERNELS=gemm*nn,gemm*tt
```

**Example.** All planar complex GEMM variants targeting NVIDIA Ampere, Turing, and Volta architectures.
```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS="70;75;80" -DCUTLASS_LIBRARY_KERNELS=planar_complex
```

## Convolution CMake Examples
**Example.** All convolution kernels targeting NVIDIA Ampere's 16816 Tensor Core operation
```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS='80' -DCUTLASS_LIBRARY_KERNELS=s16816fprop,s16816dgrad,s16816wgrad
```

**Example.** All forward propagation (fprop) convolution kernels targeting CUDA Cores for multiple NVIDIA architectures
```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS='50;60;61;70;75;80' -DCUTLASS_LIBRARY_KERNELS=sfprop
```

**Example.** All forward propagation (fprop) convolution kernels with FP32 accumulation and FP16 input targeting NVIDIA Ampere's 16816 Tensor Core operation
```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS='80' -DCUTLASS_LIBRARY_KERNELS=s16816fprop_*_f16
```

**Example.** All backward weight gradient (wgrad) convolution kernels with FP32 accumulation, FP16 input, and optimized global memory iterator
targeting NVIDIA Ampere, Turing, and Volta Tensor Core operations
```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS='70;75;80' -DCUTLASS_LIBRARY_KERNELS=tensorop*s*wgrad_optimized_f16
```
