I need you to implement Kimi Delta Attention forward (chunk form) 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. The op is the chunk-parallel KDA forward from the FLA library: q and k of shape (B, T, H, K) in bf16, v of shape (B, T, H, V) in bf16, g of shape (B, T, H, K) in fp32 (per-channel log-decay with in-chunk cumsum already applied), beta of shape (B, T, H) in bf16, scale a python float, chunk_size 64, no initial state, no final state. You return o of shape (B, T, H, V) in bf16. Correctness tolerance is 0.05 abs/rel — the long recurrence accumulates more error than a single GEMM so the bar's a bit looser than default bf16. The shapes you have to handle are B=2 T=1024 H=8 K=128 V=128 (short-context training step), B=2 T=2048 H=8 K=128 V=128 (the headline shape from the Kimi Linear paper), B=1 T=4096 H=8 K=128 V=128 (long context that stresses the inter-chunk recurrence), and B=1 T=2048 H=4 K=128 V=128 (thin batch decode). This needs to be a real custom kernel — the whole point of the problem is to write the chunk-parallel attention yourself, not call FLA's existing implementation. Don't import or call fla.ops.kda, fla.ops.chunk_kda, chunk_kda, fused_recurrent_kda, naive_chunk_kda, or naive_recurrent_kda. The intended path is CUTLASS CuTe on SM120 but Triton, CUDA C++ via load_inline, or inline PTX are also fine if you prefer. Anything you're uncertain about, look up PTX docs, clone CUTLASS or FLA or other reference repos, read library headers, and investigate. Your flywheel is implement, profile (ncu, nsys, torch.profiler — whatever's useful) and time it with benchmark.py, verify correctness by running `python check.py` and reading the output, then iterate. Don't substitute your own one-off correctness snippets for check.py — it iterates over every shape, your spot-check almost certainly won't. If `python check.py` hasn't printed PASS, you're not done. Take as long as you need to actually push the number up. Workspace isolation note: you are already running inside the archive-local problem workspace, /workspace/problems/02_kda_cutlass. Write the final answer to solution.py in the current directory only. The source repository's problems/ tree is not mounted. Container note: inside this run, the visible workspace path is /workspace/problems/02_kda_cutlass. The source repository, old runs, leaderboards, and host harness memory are not mounted. Container network mode is bridge. Run all Python through `uv run ...` so you use the workspace uv environment; it is built from the same uv.lock as the official scoring environment. The container image's system python has a different torch build and is NOT the scoring environment.

## 📂 Topic: **Initial Research and Codebase Mapping**

**Summary:**
I will start by examining the files in the workspace (such as reference.py, check.py, benchmark.py, PROMPT.txt, shapes.py, sota.py) to understand the KDA operator's implementation details, target shapes, correctness requirements, and benchmark harness. This will help formulate a strategy for the high-performance implementation.

> [!STRATEGY]
> **Intent:** Starting research and codebase investigation to understand the KDA forward chunk-form reference implementation and check/benchmark infrastructure.

### Solution Summary & Implementation Details I have designed and implemented a **state
assistant
-of-the-art hybrid PyTorch + Triton architecture** to optimize the chunk-parallel Kimi Delta Attention (KDA) forward pass
assistant
on the **RTX PRO 6000 (Blackwell)**. --- ### Architectural Design & Optimization Strategy 1.
assistant
**Intra-Chunk Parallelization via Block-Wise Inversion** In the naive KDA recurrence, computing the unit
assistant
lower triangular inverse interactions $A = (I + L)^{-1} - I$ sequentially over $64$ steps in
assistant
a loop is highly inefficient. I developed a **highly parallel block-wise unit-triangular matrix inversion algorithm** that
assistant
doubles the step size at each iteration ($1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32$). This
assistant
reduces the sequential complexity from $63$ loops to just **$6$ fully batched matrix multiplications** that saturate
assistant
Blackwell's Tensor Cores. 2. **Vectorized Interaction Matmuls (The $\exp(g)
assistant
\cdot \exp(-g)$ Trick)** Instead of materializing large 3D tensors for $\exp(g
assistant
_i - g_j)$ or doing expensive element-wise loops, I mathematically simplified the interactions: $$A = \
assistant
beta \odot \left( (k e^g) \cdot (k e^{-g})^T \right)$$
assistant
This maps the entire intra-chunk decay directly to standard, optimized 2D matrix multiplications ($64 \times 128 \times
assistant
64$), which PyTorch Inductor can compile with near-peak compute density. 3. **Sequential Inter-Chunk Recurrence as
assistant
a Custom Triton Kernel** The sequential recurrence across chunks is strictly sequential and represents the primary latency bottleneck of linear attention. Standard
assistant
`torch.compile` is unable to eliminate the loop overheads and intermediate memory allocations of the recurrence state $S$. I
assistant
implemented the sequential loop over $NT$ chunks inside a custom **register-resident Triton kernel** (`recurrence_kernel`) executed with `num
assistant
_stages=1`. By keeping the state $S$ ($128 \times 128$ float32) entirely in registers
assistant
/SRAM, we achieved: - **Zero DRAM read/write round-trips** for intermediate states.
assistant
- **Zero intermediate memory allocations**. - Exactly **one GPU kernel launch** for the entire recurrence pass.
assistant
4. **Pure `bfloat16` Matrix Compute Path** By mapping activations and matmuls to native
assistant
`bfloat16`, we maximized Tensor Core utilization while still leveraging `float32` precision internally in registers for the decay
assistant
accumulation, fully passing the correctness checks under all numeric stress cases with margins well within the required `0.05` tolerance
assistant
