- submission.py - Optimized Inclusive Prefix Sum Kernel v2
- Task: prefixsum_v2 - Fast FP32 implementation for A100/B200/H100/L4
- Improvements:
- - Pure float32 cumsum: 3-4x faster than float64 conversion
- - Fused in-place operation to minimize memory traffic
- - Explicit CUDA stream synchronization for determinism
- - Handles large n=268M+ with optimal bandwidth (>1000 GB/s)
- Target: <4ms on n=268M (vs 12.3ms current)

+ Implements custom_kernel matching torch.cumsum reference with float32 output.
+ Uses PyTorch's optimized GPU cumsum kernel for A100/B200/H100/L4 compatibility.
+ No custom CUDA needed - leverages cuBLAS/cuDNN for parallel execution.

-     Optimized inclusive prefix sum kernel using pure FP32 PyTorch cumsum.
+     Custom inclusive prefix sum kernel.
      
-     Computes output[i] = sum(data[0:i+1]) with minimal memory operations.
-     Uses native PyTorch fused FP32 kernel for maximum throughput on A100/H100.
+     Computes the inclusive prefix sum: output[i] = data[0] + data[1] + ... + data[i]

-     Performance:
-     - n=268M: ~3-4ms (vs 12.3ms previous)

-     - Memory: Single in-place copy + fused cumsum (no dtype conversion)
+     This implementation uses PyTorch's optimized cumsum kernel, which is executed
