Description

I would like some clarity on this:

https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/130359

it appears that Cutlass does not support row-wise scaling on Ada Lovelace cards....

Is there a time-table to get this resolved?

We purchased a bunch of these cards ($$$$$$$$) and this is very disappointing.

Research direction

Start with the linked PyTorch issue 130359 and investigate CUTLASS support for FP8 row-wise scaling on Ada-Lovelace cards. Done would require a clear determination of the support status and an agreed resolution path or timetable; the issue names no files or tests.
