FP8 Tensor Cores Can Run Full FP64 3-D FFTs on Blackwell Ultra, Paper Finds
A research paper demonstrates that NVIDIA's Blackwell Ultra B300, which trades sharply reduced FP64 vector throughput for much higher FP8 tensor performance, can still execute full double-precision 3-D FFTs by emulating FP64 arithmetic on FP8 tensor cores using the Ozaki Scheme II approach. The authors identify an 'integer-epilogue wall' that limits such emulation and outline minimal hardware changes that would eliminate it.
