"""Custom fp32-accumulated softmax for RTX PRO 6000 (SM120 Blackwell).
Strategy:
- Small / medium vocab (V <= 16384): single-pass single-program-per-row
fused kernel. Whole row lives in registers; one global read, one global
write.
- Large vocab (V > 16384): two-pass online-softmax with multi-program-per-row
for SM saturation.
Pass 1 (`stats_kernel`): compute per-chunk (m_local, log-sum-exp)
base, write to small stats buffers.
Pass 2 (`normalize_kernel`):reduce stats to the row's global m and s
(parallel tree across chunks), reload x,
emit y = exp(x - m_global) / s_global.
Numerical notes:
- All reductions accumulate in fp32 with Triton's tree-reduce, which gives
O(log N * eps) error -- well below the 1e-5 tolerance even at V = 262144.
- Subtract the row max before exp on every block, then rescale block sums
by exp(m_local - m_global) when combining. This keeps any logit, however
large (e.g. 30.0 spike), from overflowing fp32.
- We never re-exp the input on pass 1 to write intermediates; pass 2
recomputes exp(x - m_global) from a re-loaded x. The second read hits L2
in practice (rows are <= 1MB and L2 on Blackwell consumer is 96 MB).
CUDAGraph capture in `forward()` removes per-call launch overhead; if the
input pointer changes (different x each call), we re-capture lazily.

1 I need you to write a numerically tight softmax 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 The op is softmax along the last dim of a 2D fp32 tensor. The reference computes ground truth in fp64 and casts back to fp32, and you have to match it within atol=rtol=1e-5 — that's a tighter bar than default fp32 (1e-4) on purpose. With long reductions naive fp16 accumulation drifts past this; fp32 accumulation with subtract-max stability is enough on most shapes; on the largest vocabs you may need compensated (Kahan-style) summation to stay under the bar. The shapes you have to handle are batch=32 vocab=4096 (sanity), batch=16 vocab=32768 (GPT-2 class), batch=8 vocab=131072 (Llama-3 vocab), batch=4 vocab=262144 (256K, DeepSeek-V3 / Gemma-3 class — naive fp16 sum drifts past 1e-5 here), and batch=8 vocab=131072 with extreme logits (a few very large positives per row to stress max-subtract — exping before subtracting overflows). The check and benchmark scripts handle the extreme-flag input generation; you just need to read x and return y.

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

1 """Custom fp32-accumulated softmax for RTX PRO 6000 (SM120 Blackwell).
2
3 Strategy:
4 - Small / medium vocab (V <= 16384): single-pass single-program-per-row
5 fused kernel. Whole row lives in registers; one global read, one global
6 write.
7 - Large vocab (V > 16384): two-pass online-softmax with multi-program-per-row
8 for SM saturation.
9 Pass 1 (`stats_kernel`): compute per-chunk (m_local, log-sum-exp)
10 base, write to small stats buffers.
11 Pass 2 (`normalize_kernel`):reduce stats to the row's global m and s
12 (parallel tree across chunks), reload x,
13 emit y = exp(x - m_global) / s_global.
14
15 Numerical notes:
16 - All reductions accumulate in fp32 with Triton's tree-reduce, which gives
17 O(log N * eps) error -- well below the 1e-5 tolerance even at V = 262144.
18 - Subtract the row max before exp on every block, then rescale block sums
19 by exp(m_local - m_global) when combining. This keeps any logit, however
20 large (e.g. 30.0 spike), from overflowing fp32.
21 - We never re-exp the input on pass 1 to write intermediates; pass 2
22 recomputes exp(x - m_global) from a re-loaded x. The second read hits L2
23 in practice (rows are <= 1MB and L2 on Blackwell consumer is 96 MB).
24
25 CUDAGraph capture in `forward()` removes per-call launch overhead; if the
26 input pointer changes (different x each call), we re-capture lazily.

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. The op is softmax along the last dim of a 2D fp32 tensor. The reference computes ground truth in fp64 and casts back to fp32, and you have to match it within atol=rtol=1e-5 — that's a tighter bar than default fp32 (1e-4) on purpo

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. The op is softmax along the last dim of a 2D fp32 tensor. The reference computes ground truth in fp64 and casts back to fp32, and you have to match it within atol=rtol=1e-5 — that's a tighter bar than default fp32 (1e-4) on purpo

1 """Custom fp32-accumulated softmax for RTX PRO 6000 (SM120 Blackwell).
2
3 Strategy:
4 - Small / medium vocab (V <= 16384): single-pass single-program-per-row
5 fused kernel. Whole row lives in registers; one global read, one global
6 write.
7 - Large vocab (V > 16384): two-pass online-softmax with multi-program-per-row
8 for SM saturation.
9 Pass 1 (`stats_kernel`): compute per-chunk (m_local, log-sum-exp)
10 base, write to small stats buffers.
11 Pass 2 (`normalize_kernel`):reduce stats to the row's global m and s
12 (parallel tree across chunks), reload x,
13 emit y = exp(x - m_global) / s_global.
14
15 Numerical notes:
16 - All reductions accumulate in fp32 with Triton's tree-reduce, which gives
17 O(log N * eps) error -- well below the 1e-5 tolerance even at V = 262144.
18 - Subtract the row max before exp on every block, then rescale block sums
19 by exp(m_local - m_global) when combining. This keeps any logit, however
20 large (e.g. 30.0 spike), from overflowing fp32.
21 - We never re-exp the input on pass 1 to write intermediates; pass 2
22 recomputes exp(x - m_global) from a re-loaded x. The second read hits L2
23 in practice (rows are <= 1MB and L2 on Blackwell consumer is 96 MB).
24
25 CUDAGraph capture in `forward()` removes per-call launch overhead; if the
26 input pointer changes (different x each call), we re-capture lazily.
