[CK_TILE] Add CShuffleLds microbenchmark suite
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
## Summary
Microbenchmarks isolating LDS store/load operations in CShuffleEpilogue
for bank conflict analysis.
## Motivation
CShuffleEpilogue performs LDS store (MFMA registers → LDS) and load (LDS
→ registers for coalesced global writes). This suite isolates each
operation to:
- Identify which operation causes bank conflicts
- Measure pure LDS bandwidth per access pattern
- Validate access patterns across MFMA tile sizes and wave layouts
## Components
- **Microkernels** (`tile_load_store_microkernels.hpp`):
`StoreTile<Setup>`, `LoadTile<Setup>`
- **Setup Adapters** (`benchmark_cshuffle_lds.hpp`): Wire
CShuffleEpilogue to microkernels
- **Template** (`benchmark_template.cpp.in`): Generated benchmarks with
timing
## Build
```bash
cmake -G Ninja -B build -S . \
-DGPU_TARGETS=gfx950 \
-DBUILD_CK_EXAMPLES=ON \
-DBUILD_CK_TILE_CSHUFFLE_LDS_BENCHMARKS=ON
ninja -C build bench_lds_fp8_16x16x128_2x2_fp8
```
## New CMake Options
| Option | Default | Description |
|--------|---------|-------------|
| `BUILD_CK_TILE_CSHUFFLE_LDS_BENCHMARKS` | OFF | LDS microbenchmarks |
| `BUILD_CK_TILE_FMHA_TESTS` | ON | FMHA tests |
| `BUILD_CK_TILE_ENGINE` | ON | Tile engine |
| `BUILD_CK_TILE_ENGINE_TESTS` | ON | Tile engine tests |
| `BUILD_CK_EXAMPLES` | ON | Examples |
| `BUILD_CK_TUTORIALS` | ON | Tutorials |
| `BUILD_CK_DEVICE_INSTANCES` | ON | Device instances |
| `BUILD_CK_PROFILER` | ON | Profiler |
Setting guards to OFF reduces cmake configure from ~150s to ~5s.
CK Tile Example Suite
This directory contains a comprehensive suite of examples demonstrating the CK Tile programming model for high-performance GPU kernels. Each example illustrates a key deep learning or HPC operation, implemented using tile-based parallelism, modular pipelines, and data movement policy.
What is CK Tile?
CK Tile is a composable GPU programming API that expresses kernels as a composition of "tiles"—rectangular blocks of computation and data movement. The pipeline & policy orchestrates data movement (global <-> LDS <-> registers), computation, and synchronization, enabling high efficiency and flexibility.

Technical Highlights
- Tile Distribution: See
include/ck_tile/tile_program/tile_distribution/for mapping tiles to thread blocks. - Block Tile Pipelines: See
include/ck_tile/tile_program/block_tile_pipeline/for memory/computation pipelines. - Policies and Utilities: Many examples use custom policies for tile/block size and memory access.
How to Build & Run
mkdir build && cd build
sh ../script/cmake-ck-dev.sh ../ <arch>
make -j
Each example produces its own executable in build/bin/.
Learning and Extending
- Start Simple: Try 03_gemm or 36_copy to learn tile basics.
- Explore Fusion: See 11_add_rmsnorm2d_rdquant, 15_fused_moe, or 14_moe_smoothquant for advanced fusion.
- Experiment: Modify tile sizes, layouts, or pipelines to explore performance and flexibility.
