TurboQuant's performance and quality across different GPU backends (CUDA vs. Metal).

Achieving state-of-the-art performance (prefill, decode) and quality (PPL) for TurboQuant across diverse hardware platforms (NVIDIA CUDA, Apple Metal, AMD RDNA).

This issue outlines a critical competitive analysis and optimization strategy for TurboQuant. A CUDA fork has achieved superior performance and quality (lower PPL, higher prefill/decode ratios) compared to the existing Metal implementation. The task is to systematically port these CUDA optimizati...
