GEMM NVFP4 n2048 k2048

18 eligible runs
gemm

NVFP4 dense GEMM C = (A @ B.T) * alpha (N=2048, K=2048). Inputs are NVFP4-quantized: packed E2M1 data (2 values/byte, int8 storage) plus per-16 UE4M3 block scales (swizzled 128x4 layout, int8 storage), and a scalar global de-scale alpha = 1/(global_sf_a*global_sf_b). The reference dequantizes both operands and matmuls, so NVFP4 kernels are numerically exact against it.
