  #!POPCORN leaderboard histogram_v2
  #!POPCORN gpu B200
   
- # Privatized histogram with per-warp shared-mem bins + float4 vectorized loads.
- # Kills atomic contention on high-concentration workloads (bot uses contention=10,90).
+ # Custom uint8 histogram with privatized-SMEM sub-histograms + uint4 vector loads.
+ # Bot benchmark (probed):
+ #   N = 10,485,760 uint8 samples, bins = 256, output int64, range = [0, 255]
+ # Floor: 10MB / 8 TB/s ≈ 1.25us. Top of leaderboard ~11us. Old CUB submission ~250us.
+ #
+ # Kernel design:
+ #   - Each thread issues uint4 (16-byte) loads -> 16 samples per memory transaction.
+ #   - Per-warp SMEM sub-histogram (8 warps x 256 bins x 4 bytes = 8 KB shared).
+ #     Each warp atomicAdds into its own sub-hist -> only 32-way contention per bin.
+ #   - At end, threads merge sub-hists + atomicAdd into the int64 global out.
+ #   - out is zeroed in Python before launch (graph-safe via cudaMemsetAsync).
