"""FlashDecoding-style split-K paged attention decode for RTX PRO 6000 (SM120).

Phase 1: per (batch, kv_head, partition) block, online-softmax over the
partition's tokens, writes partial (m, l, acc).

Phase 2: per (batch, query_head) block, combines partials across partitions.

Special path: when num_partitions == 1, the phase-1 kernel writes the
final bf16 output directly (skips phase 2 launch overhead — important on
short-runtime shapes like shape 4).

Memory-bound; KV cache is loaded exactly once. GQA: one Phase-1 block serves
all G query heads sharing a KV head, so each KV element is reused G times in
registers.

1	I need you to write a paged attention decode kernel for the RTX PRO 6000 (SM120 Blackwell, GDDR7, 1.8 TB/s). The reference implementation is in reference.py and your kernel goes in solution.py. You can make whatever mess you want in this directory — scratch files, intermediate kernels, build artifacts, profiling traces — but the final answer has to be in solution.py with the same Model, get_inputs, and get_init_inputs interface as reference.py.
2	
3	This is single-query decode: each batch element has a query of shape (num_heads, head_dim) and attends over a KV cache of seq_len[b] tokens stored as fixed-size pages in a global pool, with block_table[b] listing which pages belong to batch element b. The KV cache is laid out as (num_blocks, page_size, num_kv_heads, head_dim * 2) where the last dim packs [K | V] so a single gather pulls both. You return the bf16 output of shape (batch, num_heads, head_dim). Correctness tolerance is 0.02 abs/rel on bf16/fp16. The shapes you have to handle are batch=8 num_heads=32 num_kv_heads=8 head_dim=128 seq_len=1024 page_size=16 (Llama-3 8B-style decode), batch=32 num_heads=32 num_kv_heads=8 head_dim=128 seq_len=2048 page_size=16 (server-batched decode), batch=4 num_heads=64 num_kv_heads=8 head_dim=128 seq_len=4096 page_size=16 (Llama-3 70B GQA wide ratio with long context), batch=16 num_heads=32 num_kv_heads=8 head_dim=128 seq_len=1535 page_size=16 (non-power-of-two seq_len that forces predicated tails), and batch=8 num_heads=16 num_kv_heads

"""SOTA reference for paged-attention decode.

Tries, in order:
  1. FlashInfer's BatchDecodeWithPagedKVCacheWrapper (preferred -- portable,
     supports SM120, GQA, arbitrary head_dim).
  2. vLLM's paged_attention_v2 CUDA op (requires its KV-cache layout, more
     finicky; we adapt the layout on the fly when possible).

If neither is importable, is_available() returns False and the benchmark just
reports eager + compiled + solution.

Agents are FORBIDDEN from importing these in solution.py (see problem.yaml).
This file is only for the benchmark's reference line.

1	"""Centralized GPU timing for benchmark.py files.
2	
3	All problems' benchmark.py should call `time_fn` from here so we have one
4	implementation of warmup, L2 flush, and CUDA event capture to maintain.
5	
6	Methodology:
7	  - 10 warmup calls absorb Triton autotune (typical ~7 configs) and
8	    torch.compile reduce-overhead CUDA-graph capture.
9	  - Between each timed call, `_l2_flush()` writes 128 MB to evict L2
10	    (Blackwell L2 is 96 MB; we want any prior L2 contents flushed so
11	    we measure HBM-load bandwidth, not L2-cached bandwidth).
12	  - GPU timing via cuda.Event with synchronize() AFTER record() but
13	    BEFORE elapsed_time() — the canonical NVIDIA pattern.
14	  - Reported value is the median of `iters` trials, robust to outliers.
15	
16	Notes / known biases not addressed here:
17	  - torch.compile(mode="reduce-overhead") gets CUDA graphs which eliminate
18	    launch overhead. Custom Triton/CUDA kernels do NOT get this treatment.
19	    On small shapes where launch overhead matters, this gives compile an
20	    artificial advantage. We accept this as the cost of using the agreed
21	    "compiled" baseline policy.
22	  - cuBLAS / cuDNN allocate workspaces on first call. 10 warmup absorbs.
23	  - Median over a fairly small number of trials (default 30) is fine for
24	    headline numbers but won't catch bimodal distributions. Use --extra
25	    instrumentation if you ever care.

Now I'll write my Triton FlashDecoding split-K solution. The key wins over the prior best (0.4975): 1. Split-K across sequence (FlashDecoding) — fills the GPU on small B×Hkv shapes 2. Coalesced KV loads (load `(BLOCK_N, D)`, transpose via `tl.trans`) 3. Reduce kernel combines partition partials with running max trick

Let me check shared memory usage. With BLOCK_N=128, BLOCK_D=128 we likely use ~90 KB which limits to 1 block per SM. Let me try BLOCK_N=64 (which I had originally) and also check what Triton produces.
