  """
- MXFP4 GEMM v8: Ultimate combined submission.
+ MXFP4 GEMM v13: Custom constexpr kernel + hw FP4 quant + inplace dot_scaled.
   
- Combines ALL proven improvements:
-   - v7: Hardware FP4 quant via v_cvt_scalef32_pk_fp4_f32 (USE_HW_QUANT=True)
-   - v7+: Direct exponent extraction (no log2/floor -- exact integer arithmetic)
-   - v6: In-place dot_scaled accumulation (7-arg form)
-   - v6: Cached queue handle (_cached_q) -- no per-call get_q(get_dev())
-   - v6: Precomputed Bs strides -- no .stride() calls in hot path
-   - v6: OPTIMIZE_EPILOGUE=1 env var
-   - v6: Direct data[0]/data[3]/data[4] indexing
-   - v6: Cached _cached_dev = torch.device("cuda")
-   - submission.py: Proven optimal kernel configs (BSM/BSN/BSK/nst/wpe/etc.)
+ All shape parameters (M, N, K, strides, K_ITERS, NUM_PID_M, NUM_PID_N, GRID_MN)
+ are tl.constexpr, enabling the Triton compiler to fully unroll the K loop and
+ bake in pointer arithmetic as immediates. Only 4 tensor pointers are runtime
+ arguments, minimizing kernel-arg overhead.
   
- Bypass launchers with cached queue + precomputed strides for zero-overhead dispatch.
+ Combines:
+   - Constexpr shape specialization (from pro/_xcd_direct_kernel pattern)
+   - Hardware FP4 quant via v_cvt_scalef32_pk_fp4_f32 (v8/v11)
+   - In-place dot_scaled accumulation (7-arg form)
+   - Bypass launcher with warmup (only tensor ptrs at dispatch)
+   - Split-K for large-K shapes (16x2112x7168)
+   - Precomputed strides, cached queue handle
