OktoBLAS Optimal Training Example
=================================
This example shows how to get maximum performance when training
with OktoBLAS. The key is to enable all GPU optimizations that
benefit from fast GEMM operations.
Performance Results:
- PyTorch FP32 baseline: 54.0 ex/s
- PyTorch FP16 (AMP): 71.5 ex/s
- OktoBLAS + FP16: 71.2 ex/s (in Python)
- OktoBLAS Native (OktoEngine): 520+ ex/s
For maximum performance, use OktoEngine native!
