  # kernel.py
- # Complete Triton implementation of a blocked matrix multiplication C = A @ B for fp16 tensors.
- # The test harness imports and calls `kernel_function`, which launches the Triton kernel.
- #
- # Fusion note:
- # - The test requires only A @ B. There is no bias or activation to fuse, so we implement a single-pass
- #   matmul kernel with fp32 accumulation and fp16 store. If future requirements add bias, activation,
- #   or epilogues, they can be fused into the same kernel to minimize memory traffic and launch overhead.

+ What is implemented and why:
+ - A blocked GEMM C = A @ B for 2D tensors, using fp32 accumulation and fp16 output.
+ - The kernel follows Triton best practices:
+   - tl.load/tl.store with proper masks for boundary safety.
+   - Coalesced memory access along the contiguous dimension of each operand.
+   - 2D grid over (M, N) tiles and K-loop with BLOCK_K.
+   - Autotune over several tile shapes and pipeline stages/warps.
+ - Epilogue fusion: convert accumulator (fp32) to output dtype (fp16) in-kernel and store.
+   No additional ops (bias/activation) are fused because the input contract only provides (A, B, C).
+   If such parameters existed, we would fuse them here to minimize memory traffic.
+  
+ Runtime restrictions are respected:
+ - The Python wrapper only validates inputs, prepares output storage, computes the grid,
+   and launches the Triton kernel. It does not perform any math (no torch.matmul, etc.).
+ - All computation happens inside the Triton kernel via tl.dot and other Triton ops.
+  
+ The wrapper accepts both signatures used by the tests:
+ - kernel_function((a, b, c))
+ - kernel_function(a, b, c)
+ It returns the output tensor. If a third tensor c is provided, the kernel writes into it.

-     Python wrapper to launch the Triton matmul kernel C = A @ B.

-     - c: [M, N] fp16 CUDA tensor (output buffer). If provided, the kernel writes to it.
-       If not provided or mismatched, a new output tensor is allocated and returned.

-     Notes:
-     - All math is executed inside the Triton kernel. The wrapper performs validation,

-     - Fusion: Only matmul is required by the test. No additional ops to fuse. If epilogues
-       like bias or activation are needed later, they can be fused into the same kernel.

+  
+     Notes:
+       - All math is done inside the Triton kernel.
+       - The wrapper validates inputs, allocates output if needed, sets the grid, and launches.
