Meekail Zain d931e8703d [rocm-libraries] ROCm/rocm-libraries#6867 (commit 3cb0219)
Added custom FMHA codegen receipt for TransformerEngine
 (#6867)

## Motivation

TE uses AITER to build static MHA libraries, which ultimately rely on CK
kernels. We use the `600` receipt which generates more kernels than TE
truly needs. This bespoke receipt allows us to minimize the kernel
count, compile time, and memory footprint of our MHA library.

## Technical Details

Extended the receipt mechanism to include a custom `700` receipt for
TE's needs

## Test Plan

Test by building TE using the same receipt profile

## Test Result

Build validated in TE using a custom feature branches of AITER/CK to
temporarily apply the patch

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.
