[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 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:
- Global test labels - Run tests across all operations
- Operation-specific umbrella targets - Run all tests for a specific operation
- 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_memtest_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_compv3test_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_compv4test_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_persistenttest_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_compv6test_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_comp_async(gfx95 only)test_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_*_wmmavariants (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)

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
ninja ck_tile_reduce_tests
Test executables included:

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
