9.7.14.5. Matrix Fragments for mma.m16n8k128

A warp executing mma.m16n8k128 will compute an MMA operation of shape .m16n8k128.

Elements of the matrix are distributed across the threads in a warp so each thread of the warp holds a fragment of the matrix.

Multiplicand A:

.atype Fragment Elements (low to high)
.b1 A vector expression containing two .b32 registers, with each register containing thirty two .b1 elements from the matrix A. a0, a1, …, a62, a63

The layout of the fragments held by different threads is shown in Figure 97.

The row and column of a matrix fragment can be computed as:

groupID = %laneid >> 2
threadID_in_group = %laneid % 4

row =      groupID                              for ai where i < 32
          groupID + 8                           for ai where i >= 32

col =  (threadID_in_group * 32) + (i & 0x1F)     for ai where i = {0, ...,63}

Multiplicand B:

.btype Fragment Elements (low to high)
.b1 A vector expression containing a single .b32 register containing thirty two .b1 elements from the matrix B. b0, b1, … , b30, b31

The layout of the fragments held by different threads is shown in Figure 98.

The row and column of a matrix fragment can be computed as:

groupID           = %laneid >> 2
threadID_in_group = %laneid % 4

row =  (threadID_in_group * 32) + i         for bi where i = {0,...,31}
col = groupID

Accumulators (C or D):

.ctype / .dtype Fragment Elements (low to high)
.s32 A vector expression containing four .s32 registers, containing four .s32 elements from the matrix C (or D). c0, c1, c2, c3

The layout of the fragments held by different threads is shown in Figure 99.

The row and column of a matrix fragment can be computed as:

threadID_in_group = %laneid % 4

row =      groupID                           for ci where i <  2
          groupID + 8                        for ci where i >= 2

col =  (threadID_in_group * 2) + (i & 0x1)    for ci where i = {0, 1, 2, 3}
