// warp diag chain is untouched -- still n/64 links), but the trailing update
// runs ONCE per 128 columns at K=128 instead of twice at K=64. That halves the
// read-modify-write traffic over the trailing matrix and doubles the update's
// arithmetic intensity (~8 -> ~13 FLOP/byte at (640,512), past B200's ~9.4
// balance point). Round T measured the K=64 update at 2.5 TB/s AND 20 TF/s --
// 3x off both roofs -- so the aim here is to change that ratio, not to make
// either side individually cheaper.
//
// Per 128-column block J:
// 1. diag(J) factor [J,J+64)^2
// 2. panel_trsm(J) solve cols [J,J+64) for all rows below
// 3. syrk K=64, cols [J+64,J+128) only column-tile 0: preps the second
// diag block and the second half-panel
// 4. diag(J+64) factor [J+64,J+128)^2
// 5. panel_trsm(J+64) solve cols [J+64,J+128) for rows >=J+128
// 6. syrk K=128 from J one pass over the trailing [J+128,n)^2
// Step 6 is exact: sum over k in [J,J+128) of L[i,k]L[j,k] is precisely the
// two rank-64 updates summed, so it also rounds once instead of twice.
// First-touch map here: the J == 0 launches of diag(J), panel(J) and the
// narrow syrk read A. diag(J+64), panel(J+64) always read L (the narrow syrk
// at their own J just wrote their inputs); the wide syrk reads A only at

# Mode 2 is the previous all-WMMA FP16 winner for immediate fallback; mode 1
# retains the older TF32 kernel. Mode 3 keeps FP32 update math and fuses one-step diagonal
# lookahead for experiments; B200 run 879725 was flat after normalization
# because its register footprint offset the hidden launch. The update only ever
# computes update *contributions* subtracted from A/L, never reproduces an L

# elsewhere in this file -- but every test shape and every other benchmark
# shape must still fall through to 0 (exact FP32). Do not add (16,512),
# (4,1024) or (2,2048) here: low batch, panel-dominated, not measured this

# TF32 wide syrk wins ONLY at high batch (round AD: -5.0/-4.7/-3.5% on
# 640x512 / 60x1024 / 8x2048). Round AE extended it to the low-batch shapes
# (16,512)/(4,1024)/(2,2048): flat-to-worse (+0..+1.9%) -- their wide-syrk
# fraction is too small and the tf32 fragment conversion has nothing to hide
# behind. Do not re-add them.
# Mode 4's vendor-native rectangles are also dormant: B200 run 880459 was
# +1.0/+1.1/+40.1% normalized on shapes 6/8/10. Packing plus multiple skinny
# GEMM calls cannot amortize dispatch/geometry costs, especially at batch 8.
# Mode 5 isolates whether packing itself pays: it keeps mode 2's custom
# triangular grid and only replaces redundant per-CTA FP32 conversion. B200
# run 880479 was ~1% slower than mode 2: the standalone packing pass consumed
# the savings. Mode 6 writes the same FP16 panel as part of panel_trsm, removing
# that extra launch and FP32 read entirely, but run 880497 was still
# +1.6/+0.9/+1.3% on shapes 6/8/10. The conversion is hidden well enough that
# extra half writes and reads are a net loss. Keep both modes dormant. Mode 7
# is the native-geometry falsifier: pack once per 128-column step, issue one
# full-square vendor FP16-input GEMM (including the unused upper half), then
# restore the upper triangle once after factorization. The extra arithmetic
# trades triangular efficiency for a much fatter B200 tensor-core mainloop.
# B200 runs 880674/880679 reproduced large wins at (60,1024) and (8,2048):
# 1313 -> 1191/1183 us and 1779 -> 1476/1482 us versus the Round AW mode-2
