[CK Tile] Rule-based configuration generation in CK
 Dispatcher codegen (#8157)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Motivation

The CK Tile Dispatcher code generation for CK Tile Profiler relies on
flat JSON files to list the generated configurations. This approach has
the following problems

- The JSON files are verbose
- The JSON files get easily out of sync with the CK Builder .config
files from which they were generated from.
- The JSON file based configuration make it hard to list explicitly the
rules that govern the instance generation.

## Technical Details

Replaced the JSON files with a rule based configuration. To preserve the
existing functionality, the `profiler` and the `tests` instance sets are
generated directly from the CK Builder config files. The JSON config
files are removed from source control, and the "on-the-fly" generation
guarantees that the Dispatcher codegen uses up to date configurations.

This is PR introduces six different rule sets for the CK Tile Dispatcher
code generation

1. `profiler`: matches with the old JSON set of profiler configurations.
2. `tests`: matches with the old JSON set of tests configurations.
3. `full`: full configuration set created from a rule-based config
selection
4. `full-tests`: a subset of `full` for generating configurations for
convolution integration tests.
5. `tiny`: a subset of `full-tests` to produce the minimal set of
configurations to test the Dispatcher codegen.
6. `default`: the default rules, which corresponds to the existing
heuristic rules for configuration selection. This ensures that ML based
kernel selection doesn't get broken.

The main use of the `full` rule set is to define a reasonable solution
space for the possible implicit GEMM configurations. We start from the
configurations that allowed by the device architecture. The `full` rule
set defines the relevant tile sizes for each convolution direction. From
the tile size we have a curated mapping to the number of waves over the
different GEMM axes, i.e., we describe how many waves each GEMM
dimensions corresponds to. The GEMM-K wave tile dimension can be
computed from the other parameters and does not need to be listed
explicitly.

An orthogonal axis to the tiling strategy is the vectorization strategy.
This mainly defined by the data type and hardware as in general, we want
to use the maximum possible load widths. The maximum sizes for each
convolution direction variant are defined by the implicit GEMM matrix
dimensions. For cases where have a low number of channels per
convolution group, we need smaller vector load sizes. These are captured
by the `VecStrategy` enumeration in the codegen rules.

The problem with the rule based configuration selection is that we "over
generate" configurations. The old JSON configurations compose
approximately 25% of all configuration that the `full` rule set creates.
The additional configurations are valid, but they many not provide any
performance benefits. Hence, we keep the `profiler` and `tests` rule set
for now to avoid building an excessive amount configurations by default.
The `full` rule set can be taken into use by specifying CMake
configuration flag `-D DISPATCHER_RULE_SET=full`. By default, the
`tests` rule set is used, i.e., we don't change the existing bahaviour.

## Test Plan

Added a new stage in the CI/CD pipeline that ensures the Dispatcher
codegen rules are up to date. Otherwise the functionality is covered by
the existing CI/CD tests. There are no functional changes to the
convolution kernels. Only how the different instances are generated.

## Test Result

If the CK Tile conv instances build without errors, the Dispatcher
codegen is generating valid code. If all tests in CI/CD pipeline are
passing, the Dispatcher codegen generates valid instances.

[CK][CK TILE] Dispatcher kernel selection heuristic for grouped conv (#6327)

## Motivation
The ML heuristic in dispatcher does not support grouped-conv operator
yet. In this PR, the support for fwd, bdw-data, and bwd-weight
grouped-conv kernels have been added. A tile_engine utility has also
been added to compile and run any selected kernel configuration through
dispatcher infrastructure.

## Technical Details

1. Tile engine utility is added to benchmark each shape with all the
possible kernel+tile_size combinations here -
[https://github.com/ROCm/rocm-libraries/blob/users/yraparti/ck/dispatcher-grouped-conv-heuristics/projects/composablekernel/tile_engine/ops/grouped_conv/grouped_conv_full_benchmark.py](url)
2. New LGBM regressor models for grouped conv are added to models
directory. We have 3 separate models for fwd, bwd-data, and bwd-weights
[https://github.com/ROCm/rocm-libraries/tree/users/yraparti/ck/dispatcher-grouped-conv-heuristics/projects/composablekernel/dispatcher/heuristics/models](url)
3. Implemented lazy GPU initialization (dispatcher/python)
- **Issue**: ProcessPoolExecutor fork() + GPU context caused memory
access faults
- **Solution**: Mirror FMHA pattern - defer GPU initialization until
first run()
  - **Changes**:
- setup_multiple_grouped_conv_dispatchers() returns List[Path], not
loaded libs
    - GpuGroupedConvRunner.__init__() no longer calls ctypes.CDLL
    - Added _ensure_initialized() method for lazy GPU loading
    - GPU context created only on first run() call
  - **Benefit**: Parallel compilation now works without GPU conflicts
4. Addressed few miscellaneous issues such as:
  - Fixed BF16->FP16 naming bug in the dispatcher wrapper
- Added new tile sizes, and comp_v5 pipeline to the arch spec to expand
the kernel selection
- Added automatic padding support for unsupported shapes in dispatcher
runner
- Created a single source of truth between tile_engine and dispatcher
about the architecture and tile_size details
- Build a validation scripts to compare oracle_best vs ml_heuristic
comparison

## Test Plan

1. Validated fwd, bwd-data, and bwd-weight kernels with both known and
unseen data sets with up to 300 problems.
2. Ensured that test cases are added in both dispatcher and tile_engine
to validate the heuristic.

## Test Result
Results on Unseen shapes validated on gfx950
#### Forward Pass Model
- **Training Data**: 48,845 measurements across 1,372 unique problem
shapes
- **Validation Set**: 300 unseen problems from model crawler

shapes
- **Validation Set**: 300 unseen problems from model crawler
- **Validation Performance** (vs. oracle):
  - Mean Efficiency: **93.8%**
  - Median Efficiency: **96.5%**
  - P10 Efficiency: **82.9%**

#### Backward Weight Gradient (bwd_weight) Model

shapes
- **Validation Set**: 300 unseen problems from model crawler
- **Validation Performance** (vs. oracle):
  - Mean Efficiency: **96.1%**
  - Median Efficiency: **99.2%**
  - P10 Efficiency: **89.4%**

[CK] [CK_Tile] Add GroupConv to Kernel Dispatcher (#5168)

## Motivation

This PR adds CK Tile group convolution (forward, backward-data,
backward-weight) support to the kernel dispatcher, matching and unifying
with the existing dispatcher GEMM infrastructure in architecture and
usability. The dispatcher provides a unified kernel dispatch system with
both C++ and Python frontends, and until now only supported GEMM
operations. This PR enables framework integrators to use the same
declarative kernel workflow for convolutions as they do for GEMM:
declare kernels, build a registry JIT, select kernels within the
registry at runtime, and dispatch to GPU. Future PRs will include
runtime kernel selection heuristics for autotuning of kernel parameters
based on (problem, hardware arch).

## Technical Details

Grouped convolution support has been added to the CK Tile Dispatcher
with generated_conv_backend.hpp enabling dispatcher.run(in, wei, out,
problem) for all 6 conv variants (fwd/bwdd/bwdw x 2D/3D), runtime
heuristic kernel selection, and GroupedConvKernelKey with full
ConvConfigBase fields. Python side adds parallel JIT via
registry.build(max_workers) and heuristic registry.select(). Includes 7
C++ and 6 Python examples covering all directions with CPU reference
validation, and shared infrastructure improvements (BaseRegistry CRTP,
structured exceptions). As a sanity check, JIT compile times for a
single kernel remains the same and for multiple kernels there is better
parallelism:
Kernels | 1 worker | 8 workers
1 | 7.7 s | 7.7 s
2 | 15.9 s | 8.2 s
4 | 33.4 s | 9.7 s
6 | 52.3 s | 10.2 s

## Test Plan

145 ephemeral unit tests have been added to test basic functionality.
All 30 examples/integration tests run end-to-end on gfx950 (MI350): 7
C++ conv, 7 C++ GEMM, 6 Python conv, 10 Python GEMM. CPU reference
validation for forward, backward-data, and backward-weight (2D) in both
C++ and Python examples pass.

## Test Result

30 examples pass. Peak performance: 132 TFLOPS (Batch-32 forward 56x56),
53 TFLOPS (pointwise 1x1). CPU reference accuracy: max_abs_diff < 0.002
for all directions (fp16 vs fp32 reference).
