Efficient GPU kernels for block-sparse matrix multiplication
The blocksparse repository provides efficient GPU kernels (TensorFlow custom ops) for block-sparse matrix multiplication and convolution operations. The idea is to exploit block-level sparsity — i.e. treat matrices or weight tensors as composed of blocks, many of which may be zero or unused — to save compute and memory when sparsity patterns are structured. This is particularly useful in models like Sparse Transformers, where attention matrices or intermediate layers may adopt block-sparse...
