#!POPCORN leaderboard qr_v2
#!POPCORN gpu B200
"""Size-dispatched batched Householder QR (torch.geqrf contract) -- single-file popcorn
submission consolidating the B200-validated wins (each benchmark size is 1/12 of the
geomean, so per-size specialization pays off uniformly):

  n <= 32         warp-per-matrix register QR (no smem / no __syncthreads; beats geqrf's
                  launch overhead on the geomean's smallest spec).  [+13.3% geomean]
  128 <= n <= 2048
                  flat right-looking blocked QR. Panel = custom one-block-per-matrix kernel
                  (warp-shuffle reduce + adaptive blockDim + parallel larft + odd-stride
                  bank-fix). Trailing update = ONE big cuBLAS tensor-core GEMM:
                    * A1: fused alpha=-1/beta=1 epilogue (bmm_lp_acc) -> kills aten::sub_.
                    * A3: fused single-pass unit-lower V-extract (vextract) -> kills tril+fill_.
                    * trailing GEMM precision = BF16x9-emulated fp32 (robust, ~2x native fp32).
                  n <= 512 only: band/rowscale detection + split-K recovery -- reorder the
                  batch (safe first, risky last) and split every trailing GEMM into a fast
                  half [:k] + a robust BF16x9 half [k:], NO second factorization. Keeps the
                  fast path robust under the leaderboard's seed reshuffles. n > 512 is
                  low-precision-safe with margin -> skip detection.
  n > 2048 (4096) plain torch.geqrf (custom batched panel paths floor ~1.7x behind cuSOLVER at b=2).

// ONE BLOCK PER MATRIX. Householder-factor the strided column panel H[b, r0:r0+m, c0:c0+nb]
// (an m x nb tall-skinny block of the B x n x n tensor H, ROW stride = n) IN PLACE, and build
// the compact-WY T (nb x nb, upper-tri). Output is geqrf-compatible: R in the upper triangle,
// reflectors below the diagonal, tau (B x nb), T (B x nb x nb). nb<=64 (larft has a 1-warp path
// for nb<=32 and a 2-warp path for 33..64).
//
// MEMORY MODEL (this kernel is smem-latency/occupancy-bound, NOT DRAM-bound — dram ~3%):
//   * Global: the panel is read once (load) and written once (store). m*nb floats each way.
//   * smem As is COLUMN-MAJOR with ld=m|1 (ODD leading dim). Two deliberate choices:
//       - column-major  -> a column's rows are contiguous in smem (stride 1), so the hot per-
//         column loops (norm, scale, apply over rows i) are fully coalesced / conflict-free.
//       - ld odd (m|1)  -> accessing different COLUMNS at the same row i differs by k*ld; since
//         gcd(ld,32)=1 the 32 lanes map to 32 distinct banks => ZERO bank conflicts. (With an
//         even ld and m a multiple of 32 this would be a 32-way conflict.)
//   * The real cost is smem RE-READING: the trailing-apply rereads the trailing columns over
//     all m rows once per earlier column (O(nb^2 * m)), and the Gram below rereads the panel
//     again (another O(nb^2 * m)). Plus the per-column `for j` loop is SERIAL with a syncthreads
//     each step -> latency-bound at low batch (the panel-occupancy wall).
// smem layout: As[(m|1)*nb] | red[nt] | G[nb*nb] | Tt[nb*nb].
