Tensor Memory Depresses GPU Occupancy
bronzeagepapi · x · 2026-07-16
A forwarded post highlighted that HazyResearch found accessing tensor memory limits occupancy to 每个 SM 只有 1 个 CTA.
This points to a low-level performance bottleneck, illustrating a hard constraint on parallelism imposed by GPU kernel and memory access patterns.
