vllm.model_executor.kernels.linear.scaled_mm.zentorch

Zentorch dynamic-symmetric W8A8 int8 linear kernel for AMD Zen CPUs.

Selected by choose_scaled_mm_linear_kernel ahead of the generic oneDNN-backed CPUInt8ScaledMMLinearKernel. When is_supported or can_implement rejects a layer, the selector falls through to the next kernel in _POSSIBLE_INT8_KERNELS[PlatformEnum.CPU].

ZentorchInt8ScaledMMLinearKernel

Bases: Int8ScaledMMLinearKernel
