Mojo function

quantize_dynamic_block_scaled_mxfp4_kernel

def quantize_dynamic_block_scaled_mxfp4_kernel[in_dtype: DType, *, elements_per_thread: Int](output_ptr: Pointer[UInt8, MutAnyOrigin, _safe=False], output_scales_ptr: Pointer[Float8_e8m0fnu, MutAnyOrigin, _safe=False], input_ptr: Pointer[Scalar[in_dtype], ImmutAnyOrigin, _safe=False], num_elements: Int)

GPU kernel that quantizes BF16 elements to packed MXFP4 with E8M0 block scales on AMD CDNA4.

Each thread processes elements_per_thread elements, cooperatively reduces the per-group maximum via warp shuffle, and uses the V_CVT_SCALEF32_PK_FP4_BF16 intrinsic for hardware FP4 packing.

Parameters:

• ​in_dtype (DType): Element type of the input activation tensor (inferred). Must be bfloat16.
• ​elements_per_thread (Int): Number of input elements each thread loads and quantizes per iteration.
