+This is a script to estimate the benefit from converting a `torch.nn.Linear`
+layer to float8, by estimating the difference in e2e GPU kernel time between:
+1. bf16 gemms in fwd and bwd, and 
+2. float8 gemms in fwd and bwd, and float8 overhead
+
+The gemm times are estimated either from direct measurements via benchmarks,
+or with a roofline estimation based on TOPS and peak compute bandwidth of an 
+NVIDIA H100.
+
+The float8 overhead times are estimated by counting memory reads and writes
+based on the specified float8 scaling, and estimating that we can achieve
+a certain % of machine peak memory bandwidth when performing these reads and writes.
