 This folder contains example for the pooling operator using ck_tile tile-programming implementation. Currently the pooling kernel only supports 2D and 3D pooling.
 
+## Tensor Descriptor Transformations
+
+The pooling kernel transforms the input tensor into 2D format suitable for reduction. This section explains the transformation pipeline for both 2D and 3D pooling operations.
+
+### 3D Pooling Transformations
+
+For 3D pooling, the input tensor has shape `(N, D, H, W, C)` where:
+- `N`: batch size
+- `D`: depth dimension  
+- `H`: height dimension
+- `W`: width dimension
+- `C`: channel dimension
+
+The transformations convert this 5D tensor into a 2D tensor where rows represent output positions (M) and columns represent pooling window elements (K).

+
+**Transformation Steps:**
+1. **Padding**: Apply left and right padding to spatial dimensions (D, H, W) to handle boundary conditions
+2. **Sliding Windows**: Use embed transforms to create sliding windows across each spatial dimension, expanding each dimension into (window_size, output_positions)
+3. **Reshaping**: Merge all dimensions into a 2D matrix where:
+   - M dimension = N × Dₒ × Hₒ × Wₒ × C (total output positions)
+   - K dimension = Z × Y × X (elements per pooling window)
+4. **Block Alignment**: Apply right padding to ensure M and K dimensions are aligned to block size
+
+### 2D Pooling Transformations
+
+2D pooling follows the same transformation pipeline but operates on 4D tensors with shape `(N, H, W, C)`. The process is identical except:
+- Only H and W dimensions are padded and embedded
+- K dimension merges only (Y, X) window elements
+- M dimension merges (N, Hₒ, Wₒ, C)
+
+### Output Tensor Transformations
+
+The output tensor transformations are simpler:
+- Merge all output dimensions (N, Dₒ/Hₒ, Wₒ, C) into a single M dimension
+- Apply right padding for block alignment
+- The result is a 1D tensor that maps directly to the M dimension of the computation matrix
