chris-tsiaousis-hpc 89c5e67028 [CK Tile] Unification work - mma transformations pipeline (#5508)
## Motivation

In this PR we showcase how the amdgcn structs could be used in a pipeline that does some extra pre/post processing.
For the sparse intrinsics, so far we compressed the A vector "on the fly" right before the execution of the builtin. This might introduce performance issues down the line if, for example, the user decided to chain multiple sparse builtins. We tackle this problem by creating a specific SparseCompressTransform.

A MmaPipelineBase is also created to facilitate those kind of higher level compositions of the amdgcn structs and is integrated to the existing WaveWiseMma prototype. There is an effort to facilitate future operations, like swizzle A/B, C transpose or double/quad attr num access through the MmaPipelineOptionFlags, but those are not yet defined and should do so in a future PR.
The pipeline base class is basically at the RFC stage.

We also create a runtime test for the existing WaveWiseMma, as well as one for the SparseMma pipeline.

## Technical Details

The goal should be to have the pipeline easily expandable. May the CRTP of the base class or the interface in general be insufficient or unable to handle all of our needs, then a design modification should be discussed.

## Test Plan

New tests are added.

## Test Result

Tests should 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)
