TensorOp instructions depend on a permuted shared memory layout that can be efficiently
loaded from. The following tables summarize the destination shared memory layout that
can be targeted by matrix operands. It is assumed that each thread loads 128b vectors
from global memory with layout specified in the column "GMEM Layout."

CUDA exposes warp-level matrix operations in the CUDA C++ WMMA API. The CUDA C++ WMMA API exposes Tensor Cores via a set of functions and types in the `nvcuda::wmma` namespace. The functions and types in `nvcuda::wmma` provide target-independent APIs and implement architecture-specific tensor operation using TensorOp instruction underneath. CUTLASS exposes WMMA API through WmmaTensorOp. The WmmaTensorOp supports canonical shared memory layouts. The following table summarizes the destination shared memory layout that can be targeted by matrix operands. The WMMA API expects that matrices in shared memory loaded by `nvcuda::wmma::load_matrix_sync()` satisfy 128 bit alignment.


**WmmaTensorOp (all matrix sizes and data types).**
