Accelerating Transformer Training with NVIDIA Transformer Engine, Fused Kernels, BF16, FP8, and GPU Benchmarking
In this tutorial, we discover how NVIDIA Transformer Engine accelerates transformer workloads by combining fused GPU kernels, BF16 computation, and hardware-aware FP8 execution. We start by putting in Transformer Engine and detecting the lively GPU structure in order that we are able to decide whether or not the runtime helps TE kernels, FP8 tensor cores,…
