MMA-Sim: Bit-Accurate Reference Model of Tensor Cores and Matrix Cores
NeutralArtificial Intelligence
The paper presents MMA-Sim, a bit-accurate reference model that analyzes the arithmetic behaviors of matrix multiplication accelerators (MMAs) used in modern GPUs, specifically NVIDIA Tensor Cores and AMD Matrix Cores. With the increasing computational demands of deep neural networks (DNNs), the distinct arithmetic specifications of these MMAs can lead to numerical imprecision, affecting DNN training and inference stability. MMA-Sim reveals detailed arithmetic algorithms and confirms bitwise equivalence with real hardware through extensive validation.
