Halving barrier count reduces barrier stall time significantly +for compute-bound tiles. + +The LDS budget exactly fits: `(64×128 + 128×64) × 2 bytes × 2 stages = 65,536 bytes = 64 KB` — at the MI300X limit, allowing 1 block/CU. Despite lower occupancy than BLK\_K=64/stages=2 (which allows 2 blocks/CU), the halved synchronisation cost is a net win. + +### Finding 2: num\_warps=4 beats 8 for BLK\_K=128 + +With BLK\_K=128 and mfma=16, num\_warps=4 outperforms num\_warps=8 for M=512: +219.3 vs 208.7 TFLOPS (+5%). With BLK\_K=128, the A-tile is 64×128 fp16 = 16 KB per +wavefront. Allocating fewer wavefronts per CU reduces register file pressure, allowing +the compiler to keep more data in VGPRs without spills. + +### Finding 3: mfma=32 helps at M=256 with BLK\_K=128, but not at M=512 + +`mfma=32` selects the 32×32×8 MFMA instruction (4× more MACs per instruction vs +16×16×16). For BLK\_K=128 at M=256, mfma=32 reaches 112.9 TFLOPS vs 102.1 for +mfma=16 (+11%). However at M=512, mfma=16 (219.3 T) beats mfma=32 (193.8 T). + +The likely reason: at M=256 there are only `ceil(256/64)×ceil(512/64)=4×8=32 tiles` +— fewer than 304 SMs, so the "tiles" num\_sms mode matters. With mfma=32, each tile +does 4 MFMA instructions per K-slice (instead of 16 for mfma=16), reducing MFMA +instruction-dispatch overhead. At M=512 (64 tiles, still below 304 SMs), the longer +occupancy from mfma=32's larger register footprint hurts more. + +### Finding 4: "tiles" num\_sms mode helps at small M (256) + +Setting `num_sms = total_tiles` (32 at M=256, 64 at M=512) launches exactly as many +threadblocks as there is work. This avoids scheduling 272 zero-work threadblocks +(for M=256 with default num\_sms=304), reducing kernel dispatch overhead and allowing +the driver to place all threadblocks on the first 32 CUs immediately. + +Benefit: +11% at M=256 with BLK\_K=128/mfma=32 (tiles→112.9 vs full→103.3 TFLOPS). +At M=512 (64 tiles / 304 SMs) the benefit is smaller and sometimes negative. +At M=1024 (128 tiles / 304 SMs), nearly neutral (354.7 tiles vs 352.4 full TFLOPS). + +### Finding 5: mfma=16 consistently beats mfma=32 for larger M + +At M≥512, mfma=16 is universally better. The 32×32 MFMA requires a 1024-element +fp32 accumulator per wavefront (4 KB of VGPRs per thread-tile), vs 256 elements for +mfma=16 (1 KB).
