[CK_TILE] Prune Stream-K Tile Engine Tests

## Motivation

Stream-K tile engine tests are causing issues for build time. While we
work on a more permanent solution, these changes prune the Stream-K test
instances to help reduce the build time burden.

## Technical Details

The Stream-K team recently transitioned to using CK Tile's tile engine
infrastructure for our smoke tests. However, since tile engine creates
an individual target per kernel instance, we've found that the tile
engine tests are increasing build times. Our team is currently working
to convert our existing tile engine tests back to basic gtests. While
this work takes place, we are temporarily pruning the existing Stream-K
tile engine test instances to help reduce the build time burden.

## Test Plan

Ran the pruned test set on all gfx90a, gfx942, and gfx950.

## Test Result

All tests pass.

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

Run all GEMM StreamK tests (tile partitioner, reduction, smoke, extended)

ninja ck_tile_gemm_streamk_tests

Test executables included:

  • test_ck_tile_streamk_tile_partitioner
  • test_ck_tile_streamk_reduction
  • test_ck_tile_streamk_smoke
  • test_ck_tile_streamk_extended

ck_tile_grouped_gemm_quant_tests

Run all grouped GEMM quantization tests

ninja ck_tile_grouped_gemm_quant_tests

Test executables included:

  • test_ck_tile_grouped_gemm_quant_rowcol

  • test_ck_tile_grouped_gemm_quant_aquant
  • test_ck_tile_grouped_gemm_quant_bquant
  • test_ck_tile_grouped_gemm_quant_bquant_preshuffleb

Other Operations

ck_tile_fmha_tests

Run all FMHA (Flash Multi-Head Attention) tests

ninja ck_tile_fmha_tests

Test executables included: Forward and backward tests for fp16, bf16, fp8bf16, fp32

ck_tile_reduce_tests

Run all reduce operation tests

Individual Test Executables

You can also build and run individual test executables:

Build a specific test

ninja test_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_mem

Run a specific test directly

./build/bin/test_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_mem

Run a specific test through ctest

ctest -R test_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_mem --output-on-failure
