Description

What is your question?
I would like to know how the cutlass profiler tests the performance of gemm?
Because for small matrices, the large L2 cache on the GPU will have a great impact on the measurement of its computation time. The tests of the cutlass profiler seem can avoid such interference

Research direction

Start by examining the CUTLASS profiler's GEMM performance measurement path, focusing on small matrices and GPU L2-cache effects. Document how the profiler measures computation time and avoids or accounts for cache interference, with a clear explanation of the procedure as the completed result.
