[QST] Universal convolution supports for sm70/80 using Cute?

[Zxzzzzz]

What is your question?

I've read the example 59, it seems there is a easy and elegant way to assemble a conv kernel by using Cute, but the conv params are assumed to be known at complie time, and if I made these params determined during runtime, the tiling cannot work correctly when shape<n, p, q> cannot divisable by the tiler(E.g., npq are Shape<128, 14, 14>, while tiler is Shape<_128>(Actually, it should be qpn Shape<14, 14, 128> since the tiler always start tiling from the first dim)).

I would like to assemble a conv kernel using Cute to handle universal padding/stride, or in other words, R/S/P/Q is determined in runtime period. It seems only sm90 conv features can handle these universal cases, but I can't apply it on my workstation. I try to migrate it to sm70/80 but the TileCopy for im2col is complicated, I can't understand the parts that linearize the npq shape and strides, and seems it's related to sm90 hardware intrinsics.

I'm greatly appreciate if there's a approach to write a universal conv kernel using Cute while I can avoid using sm90 im2col intrinsics.

Thank you so much!

Pretty hard to handle dynamic shapes for conv performantly. You'll have to use all the tricks from our GTC2020 talk and the linearization performed for SM90 TMA based kernels. This is quite non trivial. Good luck!
