## Motivation
Currently, Stream-K has 3 reduction options: 1) atomics, 2) The
reduction described in the Stream-K paper, and 3) a tree reduction. The
reduction strategy described in the original Stream-K paper has the
starting workgroup of each tile sequentially accumulating partial
results of other contributing workgroups in the tile, which requires a
linear number of steps. Hence, for clarity, this works updates the
naming of the `StreamKReductionStrategy` enum members to better describe
the existing reduction strategy options.
## Technical Details
Prior to this change, the enum is as follows:
```cpp
enum StreamKReductionStrategy : uint32_t
{
Atomic = 0u,
Reduction = 1u,
TreeReduction = 2u
};
```
But, the distinction between `Reduction` and `TreeReduction` is not very
clear and has some redundancy.
Hence, the updated enum is as follows:
```cpp
enum StreamKReductionStrategy : uint32_t
{
Atomic = 0u,
Linear = 1u,
Tree = 2u
};
```
All references to `StreamKReductionStrategy` were updated to reflect
this change.
## Test Plan
No new functionality was added, so no new tests were added; I just
validated existing tests and examples.
## Test Result
All tests passed locally.
## Submission Checklist
- [x] Look over the contributing guidelines at
https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING.md#pull-requests.
* Introduces the new partitioner to implement the reduction StreamK kernel
* Add more doc text to functions
* Add persistent-dp option to streamk example
* Update example/ck_tile/40_streamk_gemm/README.md
[ROCm/composable_kernel commit: 5abe4109e0]
* Addition of streamk fp8 example for CK Tile
* Adding in bf8 streamk example in CK Tile
* Refactoring fp8/bf8 unit tests
Refactored the unit tests for fp8/bf8 to utilize the test harness.
Implemented smoke tests with layouts: CCR, CRR, RCR, RRR for fp8/bf8.
The tests are using 128x128x32 for the tile configuration, as other
configurations revealed implementation gaps that are currently being
documented.
[ROCm/composable_kernel commit: 715395bc86]
The following changes were made:
- Clean-up of variable namings
- Addition of README
- Removal of num_cu and occupancy args; such options are meant for
testing purposes and should not be exposed to the user
- Removal of CK_TILE_PIPELINE_MEMORY macro and PipelineTypeTraits class
since we only support one pipeline at the moment.
