Motivation
A fast Hadamard implementation using blocked GEMM. To be used in conjunction with MXFP4 for better generation quality of quantized LLMs.
Technical Details
Even though FWHT is O(nlog(n)), the batched GEMM is faster for small hadamard sizes because we can materialize the entire hadamard matrix in register and avoid loading from main memory. We create a triton.jit function to construct the hadamard without having to tl.load a pre-existing hadamard matrix.
Test Plan
We compare with the reference torch implementation and a triton-based FWHT implementation.
Test Result
An MSE below 1e^-14 for both baselines:
