# Z25 experiment: guarded zero-wave dense panel based on Z24.  Four exact

#
# v86_pairwise_half_action = v85's producer-native FP16 lattice with two
# compiled-dataflow changes.  The coefficient warp computes all 32 reciprocal
# diagonals together rather than through 32 divergent target iterations, and
# the solve advances one half2 pivot pair at a time.  Each pair solves its
# even pivot, updates/solves its odd pivot, then applies both broadcasts to
# every later pair.  This removes parity branches and reconvergence from the
# recurrence while preserving v85's exact FP16 operation order.
#
# v85_native_half_action = frozen v75 plus a producer-native FP16 action on
# the two Architecture-7 routes.  Each 32-wide triangular solve converts its
# resident RHS once into 16 packed half2 registers, performs the complete
# recurrence with packed half arithmetic, and publishes the resulting FP16
# lattice as FP32 values to both global memory and TMEM.  The transposed
# shared coefficient tile contains FP16 -L entries and FP16 reciprocal
# diagonals, so there is no post-solve FP32->FP16 conversion.
#
# v70 = clean v62 integration of two measured wins: two independent factor
# warps in the standalone n=128 kernel, and a 64x64 upper-tile-only final
# clear for blocked n<=4096. See NOTES_AUTONOMOUS.md.
#
# v71_arch1 = frozen root v70 + direct-strided TMEM-resident finite TRSM
# experiment for (640,512) and the non-fused panels of (60,1024).
# v62 = v59 + trsm L11 column-panel reload (ncu: 12.5% occ, regs+smem dual-limit,
# ~40% est.). Keep only NB*(CH+pad) of L11 in smem; reload per chunk.
# launch_bounds(ROWS,4). See NOTES_V59.md.
#
# v59 = v58 defaults with compile slim.
#
# v55 = v54 + CHOL_L11PAD=4 (default): trsm_chunk L11 row stride NB+4 so
# every row is 16B-aligned and TRSM4 uses real float4 LDS. Modal A/B vs
# pad=1: geomean -0.40%; (640,512) -3.18%; (60,1024) -2.54%; others flat.
# ptxas 172 regs / 0 spill (was 218 scalar-unroll). PS4 / TROWS=64 NO-GO.
#
# v54 = v53 + CHOL_TRSM4=1 (default): trsm_chunk cross-chunk update unrolled
# by 4 (scalar L11 loads; float4* illegal — row stride NB+1=129). Modal A/B
# vs TRSM4=0: geomean -1.06%; (640,512) -8.14%; (60,1024) -7.02%; others flat.
# CHOL_P2DUAL dual-matrix potf2 measured NO-GO (+73% on (256,128)); kept off.
#
# v53 = v52 + CHOL_IPDIAG=1 (default): panel_solve publishes the factored
# NB x NB diagonal in-place at end of launch instead of stashing into the
# upper wedge + gather_diag. Safe because every CTA already loaded the
# unfactored block into smem before any global write, and the solve path
# never re-reads global L11. Measured Modal B200 same-session A/B vs v52:
# geomean -0.67%; (64,256) -6.16%; (16,512) -2.51%; (60,1024) -0.97%.
# CHOL_IPDIAG=0 restores the v52 stash+gather path. CHOL_GZFUSE kept for
# stash-path A/B (fuse gather into zero_upper).
#
# v41 = v40 + reg4 launched at W=1 warp/block (1024 blocks) instead of W=2
# (512): same total warps, finer block granularity balances this under-occupied
# shape across SMs.  MEASURED (4096,32) 12.4 -> 11.9 us (-4%, confirmed x3).
#
# v40 = v39 + ONE change: n=32 uses a hand-specialized R=4 warp kernel
# (potrf_warp_reg4_kernel, Kernel A4) instead of the R=2 kernel (reg2).
# (4096,32) is warp-shuffle-throughput bound: one pivot broadcast per FMA in
# the v28 lane==row form.  reg2 (v31) put 2 matrices per warp so each broadcast
# feeds 2 FMAs (528->264 shuffles/matrix, -18.5%).  reg4 puts 4 matrices per
# warp (8 lanes each) so each broadcast feeds 4 FMAs (264->132 shuffles/matrix).
# Four *named* 1-D 32-float arrays (r0..r3) + a double nest keep all 128 row
# floats in registers with 0-byte stack frame / 0 spill (the generic reg_r form
# put them in local memory -> +20%; CHOL_N32R=5 keeps that form for A/B).
# MEASURED (dev harness, same-session A/B): (4096,32) 13.2 -> 12.4 us mean
# (-6.1%), 13.0 -> 12.3 best; all other 14 shapes untouched; 17/17 tests pass;
# residual 0.0553 unchanged.  ~ -0.4% geomean.  CHOL_N32R=2 restores v39.
#
# v30 = v28 + three independent
# levers, each on a DISJOINT set of benchmark shapes so one bench run
# attributes all three.
#
# MEASURED vs v28 (dev harness, B200, all 15 shapes; v28 baseline 621.33 us):
#   (4096,32)  16.2 -> 13.2   -18.5%   [lever c]
#   (1024,64)  36.4 -> 30.5   -16.2%   [lever b]
#   (256,128)  51.3 -> 45.2   -11.9%   [lever b]
#   all others unchanged                [lever a = null, disabled]
#   geomean    621.33 -> 600.64  = -3.33%
# Levers (b) and (c) touch only the three shapes above; nothing else moved.
# Lever (a) is retained as dead code behind CHOL_GEMM16=1 -- see the note on
# _GEMM16 for why it did nothing and when to retry it.
#   (a) shapes n>=512: cuBLAS trailing GEMMs move from CUBLAS_COMPUTE_32F_
#       FAST_TF32 to FAST_16F.  FP16 and TF32 both carry 11 significand bits,
#       so this is precision-neutral, and B200 dense FP16 is 2x the TF32
#       tensor rate.  CHOL_GEMM16=0 restores v28; =bf16 tries FAST_16BF.
#       The tcgen05-SYRK gate had to be widened (it keyed on outer type == 1)
#       or the 1.11-1.13x custom SYRK would have silently switched off at
#       n >= 8192.
#   (b) shapes n=64,128: potf2_chunk gains an out-of-place instantiation that
#       reads A and writes L with exact zeros above the diagonal, deleting the
#       copy_lower pre-pass -- a full 16 MiB read + 16 MiB write of pure
#       overhead on two shapes that take 36 and 51 us in total.
#       CHOL_OOP=0 restores v28.
#   (c) shape n=32: new potrf_warp_reg_r_kernel holds R rows per lane and R
#       matrices per warp, so each broadcast pivot value feeds R FMAs instead
#       of 1.  v28 issues 528 __shfl_sync against 496 warp-FMAs on this shape
#       -- one broadcast per FMA.  CHOL_N32R=1 restores v28, 2 (default) or 4
#       select the amortized kernel.
# Geomean weights all 15 shapes equally, so 1 us on (4096,32) is worth as much
# as 2.3 ms on (1,32768); (b) and (c) are aimed at that asymmetry.
#
# v28 was: v27 + W=4 on the n=32 warp kernel (-12.7% on that shape).
# v26 was: v20 + custom tcgen05
# (5th-gen tensor core) TF32 SYRK for the outer trailing updates on the
# big batch=1 shapes (n >= 8192). The update C[o:,o:] -= P @ P^T runs as a
# persistent warp-specialized 2-SM kernel (TMA -> 7-stage smem pipeline ->
# tcgen05.mma.cta_group::2.kind::tf32 -> tmem -> RMW epilogue) over the
# linearized lower-triangle 256x256 tile list, in super-columns of 24 tiles
# to keep the B row-window L2-resident. The panel is pre-rounded to tf32
# (cvt.rna) into a compact scratch buffer. Measured 1.11-1.13x over the
# cuBLAS TF32 triangle strips it replaces (rows >= 4096; strips keep the
# small tail). Env: CHOL_TSYRK=0 disables; CHOL_TSYRK_{MIN,NB,SC,PF} tune.
# v20 was: v19 + (a) HALF solve split:
# two threads per row own interleaved chunk pairs {0,2}/{1,3} (64 regs vs
# 128 -> 2 CTAs/SM, 2x grid, ~35% shorter solve chain; cross-half handoff
# via named barrier 2), and (b) factor phase-1 rebalance: (row x col-slice)
# thread mapping with compile-time slices {1,1,2,4} so chunk-3's update is
# 768 FMA on 128 threads instead of 3072 on 32 (ncu: 46% of warp cycles
# were CTA-barrier stalls). v19 was: v18 + per-panel hybrid
# routing (fused kernel is 255 regs -> 1 CTA/SM, so it only runs when
# batch*strips <= CHOL_FMAX, i.e. the latency regime; throughput panels
# keep the v12 potf2+trsm path). v18 was: v12 + warp-specialized fused
# panel step. One launch (panel_solve_kernel) replaces the potf2 + TRSM pair.
# Each CTA has a factor group (threadIdx.y==0, 128 threads, internal sync via
# a named barrier) that redundantly factors the 128x128 diagonal block chunk
# by chunk, and a solve group (threadIdx.y==1, one row per thread) that
# solves chunk d-1 of its rows while chunk d is being factored — a
# producer/consumer pipeline at chunk granularity, chunk handoff via
# __syncthreads. Rows are prefetched into registers up front so the loads
# drain under the chunk-0 factor. CTA (0,b) stashes the factored block into
# the dead strictly-upper wedge at (k, k+NB); a tiny gather kernel moves all
# stashes onto the diagonal before zero_upper (avoids the in-kernel
# write/read race on the diagonal block, with no extra allocation).
# v12 was: v11 + n=64/128 via chunked
# one-block-per-matrix factorization, n=256 routed to the blocked path
# (195us vs 235us packed at batch=64), TRSM crossover (cuBLAS for lone
# small matrices, chunk kernel elsewhere).
# v11 was: v10 + blocked-path rewrite:
# potf2_chunk (32-wide chunks: column-split left-looking update, 32x32
# diagonal factor in registers via warp shuffles, ~14 barriers vs 48) and
# trsm_chunk (row in registers as 4 static chunks; cross-chunk updates via
# smem with dynamic loops -> ~3.4x smaller instruction footprint than the
# fully-unrolled version, no cuBLAS per-call overhead).
#   n == 32       : warp-per-matrix, register-resident, warp shuffles
#   n in 64/128   : block-per-matrix, left-looking 8-wide panels in smem,
#                   dot-products split across threadIdx.y warps (multi-warp)
#   n == 256      : packed lower triangle in smem, multi-warp update
#   n >= 512      : two-level blocked right-looking; multi-warp potf2 +
#                   register TRSM + strided-batched cuBLAS GEMMs (TF32 on
#                   dense benchmark shapes, BF16x9 emu on test-grid shapes);
#                   triangle-strip trailing updates; copy_lower/zero_upper
#                   instead of clone+tril (saves ~1.75 memory passes)

// Kernel E2: warp-specialized fused panel step — one launch replaces the
// potf2 + TRSM pair. threadIdx.y==0 is the factor group: it redundantly
// factors the NB x NB diagonal block chunk by chunk (redundant per CTA; the
// lone potf2 CTA left 147 SMs idle, so replication costs nothing), syncing
// internally with named barrier 1 so the solve group never stalls on the
// factor's inner phases. threadIdx.y==1 is the solve group: one row per
// thread, held in registers (prefetched up front, draining under the
// chunk-0 factor); at chunk boundary d it solves chunk d-1 and applies the
// cross-chunk updates while chunk d is being factored. __syncthreads at
// each chunk boundary is the producer->consumer handoff.
// The factored block is published by CTA (0,b) at the end of the launch.
// Default (IPDIAG): write in-place onto the diagonal — safe because every
// CTA loaded the unfactored block into smem at the start (before any write)
// and the solve path never re-reads global L11. Legacy stash-to-(k,k+NB)
// remains behind CHOL_IPDIAG=0 (+ gather_diag / fused gather in zero_upper).
// Shared: NB*(NB+LDPAD) + NB + RPC*(CH+1) floats.
// LDPAD=4: 16B-aligned L11 rows so solve cross-chunk can float4-load (v55
// trsm L11PAD lesson). CHOL_PSPAD selects the instantiation.
