GPU-CFR compiles a fixed game into static dataflow, eliminating per-iteration kernel launches and reducing framework operations by up to 18.1×. On an A100 GPU it achieves 29.8–80.4× speedups over the fastest prior GPU CFR and 14–258× over the LiteEFG CPU implementation for large games. The compiled representation alone delivers 2.2–51.1× acceleration on eight CPU threads, while the CUDA Graph Replay enables a single graph launch per iteration.

The paper addresses the problem of non‑deterministic outputs from large language models (LLMs) when run on different GPU architectures, caused by floating‑point non‑associativity and hardware‑dependent kernel choices. It proposes a set of fixed‑configuration fused‑upcast GEMM kernels that load 16‑bit weights, upcast to FP32, and perform IEEE‑754 compliant reductions in a problem‑shape‑dependent order, ensuring identical linear‑layer outputs across NVIDIA Ampere, Ada, and Hopper GPUs. The new approach achieves 1.17–3.1× faster end‑to‑end performance than existing solutions and halves weight‑memory traffic while maintaining cross‑architecture reproducibility.
