Let's study the NVCC behaviors first. I think reciprocal-math is a general optimization, and most the compilers enable it by default.

@EikanWang I believe --prec-div https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-compiler-driver-nvcc/index.html?highlight=reciprocal#prec-div-true-false-prec-div is the corresponding NVCC flag by default set to True unless --use_fast_math (https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-compiler-driver-nvcc/index.html?highlight=reciprocal#use-fast-math-use-fast-math) is set to True. I do not believe pytorch is built with --use_fast_math correct me if I'm wrong.
