Vulkan 1.3.300 Delivers New Cooperative Matrix Extension From NVIDIA


Vulkan 1.3.300 debuted on Friday with a handful of fixes and one new extension.

This extension adds several new features building on the cooperative matrix types added in VK_KHR_cooperative_matrix. The goal is to add and accelerate features beyond just simple GEMM kernels, including adding support for type/use conversions, reductions, per-element operations, and tensor addressing, and also to improve usability and out-of-the-box performance by adding support for more flexible matrix sizes, and workgroup scope matrices with compiler-managed staging through shared memory. Support for VK_NV_cooperative_matrix2 can already be found within the NVIDIA Vulkan driver beta update for Windows and Linux on Friday.
