The tutorial explores how NVIDIA Transformer Engine accelerates transformer workloads by combining fused GPU kernels, BF16 computation, and hardware-aware FP8 execution. It begins by installing Transformer Engine and detecting the active GPU architecture to determine whether the runtime supports TE kernels, FP8 tensor cores, or only the pure-PyTorch fallback path. Core fused components examined include te.Linear, te.LayerNorm, te.LayerNormLinear, te.LayerNormMLP, and te.TransformerLayer, while configuring a delayed-scaling FP8 recipe that manages tensor scaling, amax history, and hybrid E4M3/E5M2 formats. Using these components, the tutorial constructs a compact GPT-style causal language model, trains it on deterministic synthetic sequences, compares higher-precision and FP8 execution, measures runtime and peak GPU memory, inspects FP8 metadata, and validates the trained model through autoregressive generation. The code checks for CUDA availability, with DEVICE set to "cuda", and prints GPU name, compute capability, and total memory. TE_CAPABLE is set when compute capability is at least (8, 0), and FP8_CAPABLE when at least (8, 9). If TE import fails or GPU is pre-Ampere, it falls back to pure-PyTorch. The tutorial uses torch.manual_seed(1234) and demonstrates module shapes with H = 768, including te.Linear, te.LayerNorm, te.Layer
