MpFA: Hardware-Efficient Train-Free QK4V8 FlashAttention Kernels on Blackwell GPUs

Long-context LLM inference pushes modern GPU serving stacks into an attention-bound regime, where both compute and memory are dominated by the softmax-GEMM pipeline. On NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, FP4 Tensor Cores offer high matmul throughput, but we find that fully FP4 attention often fails to translate this throughput int...
