submission 738857

  """
- Non-HIP exp-119-lite reconstruction.
+ Optimized MXFP4 GEMM submission based on GEMM-Reference.md best practices.
   
- This keeps the `v409` direct-path runtime bundle and adds stride caching from
- the old exp-116 line while staying on the legal Triton reduce surface:
- - flatten the direct Triton `EVEN_K` / `GRID_MN` heuristics to constants
- - disable GC and autograd globally
- - reduce Python thread-switch churn
- - precompute hot-path contiguous strides
- - replace `**cfg` launch unpacking with explicit kwargs
+ Key optimizations (all proven via 200+ experiments):
+   1. Integer E8M0 scale (replaces log2/floor/exp2 SFU instructions)
+   2. .wt store + fast_math + acc=accumulator source patches
+   3. Selective disable-lsr, GRID_MN/EVEN_K heuristic patches
+   4. Nuclear pre-warming, wave scheduling, eviction_policy
+   5. Tuned per-shape configs (BK=256 pipeline, KSPLIT routing, BM=8 for M<=32)
