Add SPDX license headers to python source files
This commit adds SPDX license headers to python source files as
recommended to
the project by the Linux Foundation. These headers provide a concise way
that is
both human and machine readable for communicating license information
for each
source file. It helps avoid any ambiguity about the license of the code
and can
also be easily used by tools to help manage license compliance.
The Linux Foundation runs license scans against the codebase to help
ensure
we are in compliance with the licenses of the code we use, including
dependencies. Having these headers in place helps that tool do its job.

Inspired by #5146, this PR improves FP8 quantize kernel by vectorizing data transfer to better utilize memory bandwidth. Microbenchmark shows that this improved kernel can achieve 1.0x-1.5x speedup (especially when hidden size is large).
In details, we applied 3 optimizations:
- Use inverted scale so that most divisions are changed to multiplications.
- Unroll the loop by 4 times to improve ILP.
- Use vectorized 4 to transfer data between HBM and SRAM.
Provide an initial support to FP8 computation. This PR is inspired by HuggingFace TGI: huggingface/text-generation-inference#1726
This feature can be enabled with --quantization fp8 or -q fp8 when launching an engine.
Algorithm:
We still load a model checkpoint in FP16/BF16. After the weights are loaded, Fp8LinearMethod calculates the per-tensor scaling factor of weights and quantizes the weights accordingly. The scaling factor will then be stored for future use. Meanwhile, the per-tensor scaling factor for activations is calculated in every forward pass.
Initial Results:
Currently tested Mistral-7B on 1xH100. With prompt length ~5 and decoding length 128:
BF16: 1.47s
FP8: 1.66s
I'll try to use larger models and try to find more performance bottleneck. Meanwhile, you're welcome to try this code.
