test: Add umbrella test targets for CK Tile operations
 (#4301)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Proposed changes

Adds operation-specific umbrella test targets for CK Tile to enable
running all tests for a specific operation without running the entire
test suite. This improves the development workflow by allowing faster
iteration when working on specific operations.

## Motivation

Previously, developers working on CK Tile operations could only:
- Run individual test executables one at a time
- Run global labels (, , ) which test the entire codebase
- Build all tests for an operation but had no simple way to run them all

This made it cumbersome to validate changes to a specific operation
(e.g., GEMM quantization) without either running tests individually or
running the entire test suite.

### Documentation

- - Comprehensive testing guide with usage examples and implementation
details

## Usage Examples

# Run all GEMM tests with 256 parallel jobs
ninja -j256 ck_tile_gemm_tests

# Run all GEMM block scale (quantization) tests
ninja -j256 ck_tile_gemm_block_scale_tests

# Run all GEMM StreamK tests
ninja -j256 ck_tile_gemm_streamk_tests

## Checklist

Please put an into the boxes that apply. You can also fill these out
after creating the PR. If you're not sure, please don't hesitate to ask.

- [x] I have added tests relevant to the introduced functionality, and
the unit tests are passing locally
- [x] I have added the test to REGRESSION_TESTS list defined at the top
of CMakeLists.txt in tests/CMakeLists.txt, **IF** the test takes more
than 30 seconds to run.
- [x] I have added inline documentation which enables the maintainers
with understanding the motivation
- [x] I have removed the stale documentation which is no longer relevant
after this pull request
- [ ] (If this change is user-facing) I have added release notes which
provide the end users with a brief summary of the improvement from this
pull request
- [x] I have run  on all changed files
- [x] Any dependent changes have been merged

CK Tile Testing Guide

This document describes the test organization and available test targets for CK Tile operations.

Overview

CK Tile tests are organized with multiple levels of granularity to support different development workflows:

  1. Global test labels - Run tests across all operations
  2. Operation-specific umbrella targets - Run all tests for a specific operation
  3. Individual test executables - Run specific tests

Global Test Labels

These targets run tests across all CK operations (not just CK Tile):

ninja smoke

Run fast smoke tests (tests that complete within ~30 seconds on gfx90a).

ninja smoke

ninja regression

Run slower, more comprehensive regression tests.

ninja regression

ninja check

Run ALL available tests in the entire codebase.

ninja check

Operation-Specific Umbrella Targets

These targets allow you to run all tests for a specific CK Tile operation. This is useful when making changes to a particular operation and wanting to validate all related tests without running the entire test suite.

GEMM Operations

ck_tile_gemm_tests

Run all basic GEMM pipeline tests (memory, compute variants, persistent, etc.)

ninja ck_tile_gemm_tests

Test executables included:

  • test_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_mem
  • test_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_compv3
  • test_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_compv4
  • test_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_persistent
  • test_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_compv6
  • test_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_comp_async (gfx95 only)
  • test_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_*_wmma variants (gfx11/gfx12 only)

ck_tile_gemm_block_scale_tests

Run all GEMM tests with block-scale quantization (AQuant, BQuant, ABQuant, etc.)

ninja ck_tile_gemm_block_scale_tests

Test executables included: 29 test executables covering:

  • AQuant tests (memory pipelines, base layouts, prefill, preshuffle, transpose)
  • ABQuant tests (base, padding, preshuffle)
  • BQuant tests (1D/2D variants, transpose)
  • BQuant with PreshuffleB (decode/prefill, 1D/2D)
  • BQuant with PreshuffleQuant (decode/prefill, 1D/2D)
  • RowColQuant and TensorQuant tests

ck_tile_gemm_streamk_tests
