# 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 Library call to execute device GEMM
//
cutlass::library::Handle handle;
//
// Launch GEMM on CUDA device.
//
cutlass::Status status = handle.gemm(
M,
N,
K,
cutlass::library::NumericTypeID::kF32, // data type of internal accumulation
cutlass::library::NumericTypeID::kF32, // data type of alpha/beta scalars
&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
lda, // leading dimension of A matrix
cutlass::library::NumericTypeID::kF32, // data type of B matrix
cutlass::library::LayoutTypeID::kColumnMajor, // layout of B matrix
ptrB, // pointer to B matrix in device memory
ldb, // leading dimension of B matrix
&beta, // pointer to beta scalar
cutlass::library::NumericTypeID::kF32, // data type of C and D matrix
ptrC, // pointer to C matrix in device memory
ldc, // leading dimension fo C matrix
ptrD, // pointer to D matrix in device memory
ldd // leading dimension of D matrix
);
if (status != cutlass::Status::kSuccess) {
return -1;
}
return 0;
}
```
Kernels can be selectively included in the CUTLASS Library by specifying filter strings when
executing CMake. For example, only single-precision GEMM kernels can be instantiated as follows.
```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS=75 -DCUTLASS_LIBRARY_KERNELS=sgemm
```
Compling only the kernels desired reduces compilation time.
To instantiate kernels of all tile sizes, data types, and alignment constraints, specify
`-DCUTLASS_LIBRARY_KERNELS=all` when running `cmake`.
Several recipes are defined below for convenience. They may be combined as a comma-delimited list.
**Example.** All kernels for Volta and Turing architectures.
```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS="70;75" -DCUTLASS_LIBRARY_KERNELS=all
```
**Example.** All GEMM kernels targeting Turing Tensor Cores.
```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS=75 -DCUTLASS_LIBRARY_KERNELS=tensorop*gemm
```
**Example.** All GEMM kernels with single-precision accumulation.
```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS="70;75" -DCUTLASS_LIBRARY_KERNELS=s*gemm
```
**Example.** All kernels which expect A and B to be column-major.
```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS="70;75" -DCUTLASS_LIBRARY_KERNELS=gemm*nn
```
**Example.** All planar complex GEMM variants.
```bash
$ cmake .. -DCUTLASS_NVCC_ARCHS="70;75" -DCUTLASS_LIBRARY_KERNELS=planar_complex
```
