[CK_TILE] Update Stream-K Reduction Strategy Enum
## Motivation
Currently, Stream-K has 3 reduction options: 1) atomics, 2) The
reduction described in the Stream-K paper, and 3) a tree reduction. The
reduction strategy described in the original Stream-K paper has the
starting workgroup of each tile sequentially accumulating partial
results of other contributing workgroups in the tile, which requires a
linear number of steps. Hence, for clarity, this works updates the
naming of the `StreamKReductionStrategy` enum members to better describe
the existing reduction strategy options.
## Technical Details
Prior to this change, the enum is as follows:
```cpp
enum StreamKReductionStrategy : uint32_t
{
Atomic = 0u,
Reduction = 1u,
TreeReduction = 2u
};
```
But, the distinction between `Reduction` and `TreeReduction` is not very
clear and has some redundancy.
Hence, the updated enum is as follows:
```cpp
enum StreamKReductionStrategy : uint32_t
{
Atomic = 0u,
Linear = 1u,
Tree = 2u
};
```
All references to `StreamKReductionStrategy` were updated to reflect
this change.
## Test Plan
No new functionality was added, so no new tests were added; I just
validated existing tests and examples.
## Test Result
All tests passed locally.

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.
