Have you been able to use the V100s' 16-bit tensor cores to speed up QCD at all?

I know some Gordon Bell finalists have used these tensor cores for a dramatic speedup. As far as I know, there isn't any QCD code yet. NVIDIA has a small team of developers who write libraries to make QCD screamingly fast https://github.com/lattice/quda/ ; I don't know if/where the tensor cores may be most effectively leveraged.
