# Customizable Python Interface Examples
This directory contains examples of using the CUTLASS Python interface with a variety of configurations for kernels.

For all the tests, add `--print_cuda` to print the underlying CUDA kernel. Use `-h` or `--help` to display the help message.

## GEMM Examples
The GEMM examples use numpy to create input tensors and verify the results.
