CUTLASS 3.6.0

[hwu36]

• Hopper structured sparse GEMM.
  • FP16
  • FP8
  • INT8
  • TF32
• A refactor to the CUTLASS 3.x convolution kernel::ConvUniversal API to bring it in line with gemm::GemmUniversal. Now the 3.x convolution API is no longer considered as a beta API.
• An improved mixed input GEMM and a lookup table implementation for INT4xFP8 scale-only mode.
• EVT nodes for Top-K selection and softmax and GEMM example using those.
• Programmatic Dependent Launch (PDL) that leverages a new Hopper feature to speedup two back-to-back kernels, and its corresponding documentations.
• A new debugging tool, synclog, for dumping out all synchronization events from within a kernel to a file. Please see synclog documentation for details.
• A new TMA-enabled epilogue for grouped GEMM that brings significant performance improvement, as well as its EVT support.
• A SIMT-enabled pointer-array epilogue.
• A new Ping-Pong kernel schedule for Grouped GEMM and some other optimizations.
• A new instantiation strategy for CUTLASS profiler kernels along with improved documentation for instantiation level in CUTLASS profiler.
• A new hardware support for comparisons and computations of cutlass::bfloat16_t
• Fixed use of isnan on Windows for half_t.

@hwu36 most links in this post seem to be broken. At least the programmatic dependent launch and synclog ones are.

thank you. i fixed the links. seems github changed the behavior of discussion board.
