Adds compile-time levers, all guarded and bit-identical to production when
unset, used to characterise why prefill_d128 fp8 fits KV tile 64 but not 128
under the 256-VGPR/wave ceiling (see ua-test-scripts/kv128_vgpr_findings.md):
- UA_PREFILL_D128_BLOCKSIZE (default 64): KV-tile override for probing kv128.
- UA_FA4_INPLACE_DELTA (default 0): drop sp_delta, scale-shift/exp2 in place on
sp_compute (fmha_alu_D_upd reads only m/l/o_acc/rowsum_p, never raw scores, so
bit-identical). VGPR-neutral on its own (compiler already reclaims sp_delta).
- UA_FA4_SHARED_SPCOMPUTE (default 0): keep ONE shared fp32 sp_compute + a
2-slot fp8 P ping-pong instead of a 2-slot union{sp_compute,p}. The deferred
PV only needs one live fp32 score; this cuts kv128 spills 173 -> 126. (Forces
in-place delta; slightly regresses kv64 so it is a kv128-only lever.)
- UA_FA4_UNION_KV (default 0): union k_tile/v_tile (ASM-style). VGPR-neutral;
kept as a documented dead end (compiler already overlaps their live ranges).
P thread-buffer size exposed as a type-derived constexpr (kPThreadBufSize) so
the static_assert/static_for sites work when sp(idx) is the runtime proxy.

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.
