# hopper_tensor_core_bf16_perf
Hopper BF16 baseline perf lane at 4096^3 with reference disabled to isolate steady-state Tensor Core throughput.
This repository contains the standalone CUDA source for the `hopper_tensor_core_bf16_perf` lane from
the PyC kernel lab. It is a source artifact for inspection and benchmarking;
it is not a precompiled binary and the result below is not a universal ranking.
## Performance
| Kernel | GPU / architecture | Shape | Best recorded result | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `hopper_tensor_core_bf16_perf` | sm90 | 4096x4096x4096 | 5.118 ms / 26.855 TFLOPS | Measured on sm90, shape 4096x4096x4096; evidence `hopper-sm90-80-120-async-candidates-20260421T201129Z.json`. |
The result is reported with the original campaign's timing and correctness
context. Compare kernels only when GPU, CUDA version, matrix shape, warmup,
repeats, and reference/correctness mode match.
## Source
- `kernel.cu` — copied from `kernels/prototypes/hopper/tensor_core/kernel.cu`.
- Original lane tags: `cuda, matmul, hopper, sm90, prototype, tensor-core, bf16, perf, next-loop`.
