"""Fused W4A16 weight-only quantized GEMM for RTX PRO 6000 (SM120 Blackwell). Numerics contract (same as the reference): y = x @ ((unpack(w_q) - zeros) * scales) # per-group (128) dequant Paths (chosen per batch size M): * M == 1 -> CUDA GEMV kernel. Split-K over k-blocks, fp32 atomic partials into a workspace, semaphore-fused bf16 cast that also resets the workspace for the next call. Unpack is fused into the dot: nibble -> float via an integer-OR mantissa trick, one FFMA per (k, n) element, zero-point applied with the group's x-sum. * M >= 2 -> Triton fused-dequant bf16 tensor-core GEMM for now (a W4A8 mma.sync int8 kernel is in the works to replace this). L2 residency: this GPU has a 128 MB L2. A full int4 weight matrix of these layers is ~8-30 MB -- it genuinely fits. In real decode serving the same weights are read every token and stay cache-resident. We therefore mark the (dequant-parameter) weight buffers with a CUDA access-policy window (cudaAccessPropertyPersisting) plus a persisting-L2 carveout so they survive cold-cache pressure between calls. This is pure cache management: values, dtypes and layouts are untouched. The model registers exactly the same buffers as the reference (w_q, scales, zeros) so state_dict loads with strict=True; everything else is a plain attribute allocated lazily.
