# hadamard_transform_kernels

Forward Hadamard transform CUDA kernel, packaged for the
[`kernels`](https://huggingface.co/docs/kernels/index) library.

`fp32` / `fp16` / `bf16`, last dim from `1` up to `32768` (zero-padded to the
next power of two internally).

## Use

```python
import torch
from kernels import get_kernel

hadamard = get_kernel("galqiwi/hadamard_transform_kernels", version=1)

x = torch.randn(4, 4096, device="cuda", dtype=torch.float16)
y = hadamard.hadamard_transform(x, scale=1.0)
```

## API

```python
hadamard_transform(x: torch.Tensor, scale: float = 1.0) -> torch.Tensor
```

`x` is a CUDA tensor of shape `(..., dim)`. The output has the same shape and
dtype.
