## Motivation

This PR solves several issues:

#### More accurate tests for MmaPipelines

The current tests for the MmaPipelines (test_amdgcn_sparse_mma,
test_amdgcn_wavewise_mma) use explicit input fragment vectors filled
with 1s, and only check the output of a single lane. We should have
tests that actually use the MmaPipelines with non-trivial input matrices
and verify the complete output.
Some other aspects of the current MmaPipelines tests that I noticed and
deserve some attention:

1. There is sometimes iteration over K outside of the pipeline, which is
then included in WaveTileK or FragK, which is not correct. We should
remove it, move K iteration inside of the pipeline, or be more clear
about this outer-K loop size and how it propagates downwards.
2. There is very tight coupling between the kernel, gtest code, and
test_pipeline helper, requiring a lot of information and functions to be
passed back and forth.
3. The test_pipeline helper is doing a bunch of register-related logic
on the host (related to point 1)
4. Without this register logic the only thing it does is check the
device, call the kernel, and check the output, but with a lot of
boilerplate.

#### Test helper for detecting target arch at HOST runtime

There is a really apparent issue we faced while writing tests:

Scenario:
1. Compile a test that supports both gfx950 and gfx1201 for gfx950
2. Run the test on a server that only has gfx1201 GPU

Actual:
Segmentation fault

Expected:
The test can correctly detect from HOST runtime that the DEVICE
target_id was different and skips the test.

Notes:

The only way of detecting the COMPILER_TARGET_ID in the existing "arch"
framework is launching a kernel and calling `get_compiler_target()` (so,
from a DEVICE code). This will create a segmentation fault if the
current arch differs from the target arch. To cope with this issue, we
propose to export the compiler target(s) (note they can be many) through
`projects/composablekernel/test/ck_tile/core/arch/CMakeLists.txt` and
define a test helper to deal with such cases.

#### Add composition support to Transforms

We have a small number of Transforms which act on MmaOp input and output
data, before and after the MmaOp call respectively. These are currently
implemented to work on an MmaTile level, but in theory they are also
supposed to work at a WaveTile level, i.e. after composition of multiple
MmaTiles to create larger effective MNK dimensions. Currently the
composed MmaTiles look like 2D C-style arrays of the individual MmaTile
level register vectors (see WaveWiseMmaPipeline). The transforms should
be able to take these and perform the proper transforms to the whole
WaveTile at once. This might allow for better performing
transformations.

Note: This PR handles the SparseTransform case and if we don't end up
doing scale as a transformation, there isn't really much left to do. If
we end up having only the sparse transform as a non-trivial transform,
then we could also consider removing the Transform framework.

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)
