 ## [3.7.0](https://github.com/NVIDIA/cutlass/releases/tag/v3.7.0) (2025-01-11)
 - [Hopper blockwise scaling FP8 GEMM](./examples/67_hopper_fp8_warp_specialized_gemm_with_blockwise_scaling/67_hopper_fp8_warp_specialized_gemm_with_blockwise_scaling.cu) uses 2D scaling tensor, assigning one value per threadblock.  This allows a finer-grained scaling to be applied for each output tile per gemm-k iteration. The operands and scaling tensors are loaded from global memory to shared memory using TMA and cp_async, respectively. The scaling is applied inside the mainloop.  Details with figures are [here](https://github.com/NVIDIA/cutlass/pull/1932#issue-2645398439).
 - [Distributed GEMM](./examples/65_distributed_gemm/65_distributed_gemm.cu) is a new (experimental) API which can turn existing CUTLASS GEMM kernels into pipelined Tensor Parallel GEMMs that run efficiently on NVLink-based network of GPUs. Its pipelining schedules can hide most of the communication behind computation, and relies on point-to-point communication, which can simply use CUDA runtime's peer device access feature. It also utilizes remote TMA loads and memcopies with CUDA graphs to handle communication primarily through the Copy Engine, leaving all SMs free for Hopper's persistent kernels.  For more details you can refer to the [DistGEMM blog post](https://blog.shi-labs.com/distributed-gemm-88be6a481e2b).
-- Improved persistent grid launch for Hopper kernels with large cluster sizes (>= size of 4) using the new `make_kernel_hardware_info` API as shown in [example 48](./examples/48_hopper_warp_specialized_gemm/48_hopper_warp_specialized_gemm.cu).

 - Enabled high precision accumulation for Hopper FP8 Sparse GEMM.
 - Potential API breaking changes:
   + Fix `cute::UniversalCopy` for type safety.

 - A refactor to the CUTLASS 3.x convolution `kernel::ConvUniversal` [API](./include/cutlass/conv/kernel/sm90_implicit_gemm_tma_warpspecialized.hpp) to bring it in line with `gemm::GemmUniversal`. Now the 3.x convolution API is no longer considered as a beta API.
-- Improve [mixed input GEMM](./examples/55_hopper_mixed_dtype_gemm/README.md).
-  + Added a [lookup table implementation](./examples/55_hopper_mixed_dtype_gemm/55_hopper_int4_fp8_gemm.cu) for `INT4`x`FP8` scale-only mode.
-  + Added [layout pre-shuffling](./examples/55_hopper_mixed_dtype_gemm/55_hopper_int4_fp8_gemm.cu#L50-55) to optimize memory loading.
-  + Added [interleaved conversion](./examples/55_hopper_mixed_dtype_gemm/55_hopper_int4_bf16_gemm.cu#L50-52) for `{INT4, UINT4, INT8}` x `{FP16, BF16}`.
-  + Other general optimizations.
-- The suffixes of the mixed input kernel schedules have been removed. Use `KernelTmaWarpSpecialized`, `KernelTmaWarpSpecializedPingpong` and `KernelTmaWarpSpecializedCooperative` instead.

 - [EVT nodes for Top-K selection and softmax](./include/cutlass/epilogue/fusion/sm90_visitor_topk_softmax.hpp) and [GEMM example using those](./examples/61_hopper_gemm_with_topk_and_softmax/61_hopper_gemm_with_topk_and_softmax.cu).
 - [Programmatic Dependent Launch](./include/cutlass/arch/grid_dependency_control.h) (PDL) that leverages a new Hopper feature to speedup two back-to-back kernels, and its corresponding [documentations](./media/docs/dependent_kernel_launch.md).
 - [A new debugging tool, synclog](./include/cutlass/arch/synclog.hpp), for dumping out all synchronization events from within a kernel to a file. Please see [synclog documentation](./media/docs/utilities.md#debugging-asynchronous-kernels-with-cutlasss-built-in-synclog-tool) for details.
