@apaszke apaszke commented Aug 22, 2024

Hopper has very low throughput of conversion instructions that cause this operations to quickly become an ALU bottleneck. Restating it in terms of bitwise ops and SIMD bf16 instructions increases the throughput significantly and translates to meaningful speedups (e.g. 10% end-to-end on one matmul I was looking at).

When running
[convert_blocked1d_to_slice0](https://github.com/triton-lang/triton/blob/0ba5f0c3cd029d5c3d1f01b9bf29dac32c27345e/test/Conversion/tritongpu_to_llvm.mlir#L924)
Triton ends up computing a rank of a matrix with 0 columns during linear
layout lowering, which trips up f2reduce, and causes undefined behavior,
detectable through
[UBSAN](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer.html).

Fix this by returning the rank (0) early in these cases, without calling
f2reduce.

This should land upstream instead: triton-lang#4563
