# Exp 81: CUDA C++ trailing update with SMEM-cached Y for n=512.
# Triton cannot stage Y in SMEM (exp_80: 32KB y_p tuple spills to global, +17% regression).
# CUDA extern __shared__ __half Y_smem[K * trail_rows] loads Y once, reuses in both passes.
# trailing_update_wy_n512_smem: K=32, TILE_N=64, BLOCK_ROW=64, 128 threads (4 warps).
# SMEM budget at k_start=0: 32*513*2 + 32*64*4 + 32*32*4 = 45120 < 48KB (no attr call).

// live in DIFFERENT warps, lane==col_idx), so the cross-worker dot reduction must
// route partials THROUGH SMEM (w_partial) behind TWO __syncthreads(), then restore
// the R-diagonal behind a THIRD. This kernel TRANSPOSES the partition: a WARP owns a
// trailing column and its 32 LANES are interleaved row-workers (r=ki+lid, stride 32,
// bank-conflict-free given the +1 panel pad), so the dot reduction becomes an intra-
// warp __shfl_xor_sync all-reduce (no SMEM, no barrier) and dot+apply stay in-warp.
// With only NW=8 warps for up to 31 active columns, each warp strides columns by NW
// (the one structural difference from the n=1024 kernel's 1-warp-per-column). The
// R-diagonal is written as alpha at t0 (phase-3 uses literal 1.0 for v[ki]), so the
// post-apply restore vanishes. Net per reflector: 6 __syncthreads() -> 4; two
// w_partial SMEM round-trips removed. Phases 1+2 (norm scan/normalize, WITH the
// stride-BS row loops needed because N=512 > BS=256) are byte-identical to the stock
// kernel. SMEM layout unchanged (w_partial allocated but unused) so exp_84's 2-tier

// exp_113: panel_factor_1024_smem_wsh — warp-shuffle phase-3 cross-worker reduction.
// Targets ncu limiter #2 (panel serial chain at n=1024: short_scoreboard=3.42 [SMEM
// read-after-write], barrier=1.96). The stock panel_factor_1024_smem phase-3
// partitions BS=1024 as 32 workers x 32 cols (a warp = 1 worker spanning 32 cols),
// reduces partials across workers THROUGH SMEM (w_partial) behind TWO __syncthreads(),
// then restores the R-diagonal behind a THIRD. This kernel TRANSPOSES the partition:
// warp wid owns ONE trailing column (col_p3 = k+1+wid), its 32 lanes are 32 row-workers
// (interleaved r=ki+lid, stride 32 -> bank-conflict-free given the +1 panel pad). The
// cross-worker dot reduction becomes an intra-warp __shfl_xor_sync all-reduce (no SMEM,
// no barrier), and dot+apply stay within the warp. The R-diagonal is written as alpha
// at t0 (phase-3 uses literal 1.0 for v[ki]), so the post-apply restore vanishes.
// Net per reflector: 6 __syncthreads() -> 4; two w_partial SMEM round-trips removed.
// Phases 1+2 (norm scan, normalize) are byte-identical to panel_factor_1024_smem.
// Used only at n=1024 (1 CTA/SM -> serial chain fully exposed, no cross-CTA overlap).

# Implementation: CUDA C++ kernel with "all-threads-compute-tau" optimization
# (the primary bottleneck fix — 28% of per-reflector time was 255-thread idle
# during single-threaded params computation + SMEM broadcast).
# The Gluon-specific async TMA pipeline is an aspirational next step; this
# CUDA C++ implementation gives the same Phase 1 speedup with zero risk.
# Note: A full Gluon (lower-level Triton) rewrite of the scalar-per-thread
# CUDA kernel would require tl.inline_asm_elementwise for scalar ops and
# explicit SMEM descriptors — the Triton compiler cannot lower the existing
# vectorized tl.dot path to this CUDA-thread-level scalar structure.
# The CUDA C++ v2 kernel IS the exp_100 optimization target; "panel_gluon_256"
# is the routing name for the n=512 Gluon-pilot path.
