MMA Virus

Overview

The mma_virus leverages physical Warp Matrix Multiply and Accumulate (WMMA) instructions to push hardware Matrix Cores to their absolute thermal limits.

Execution Mechanics

Instead of relying on standard FP16 instructions which may be mapped to vector ALUs, this kernel explicitly calls physical matrix math intrinsics.

  • It initializes discrete memory fragments and forces synchronous matrix multiplication across the warp.
  • This achieves massive power density, as matrix cores perform orders of magnitude more calculations per clock cycle than standard vector cores.

Target Subsystems

  • Primary Target: Physical Matrix/Tensor Cores.
