"""NSA-style block-select sparse attention — hand-written CUDA (SM100/SM120). Semantics (matches reference.nsa_attend): per query t: block importance = mean over causal keys j<=t in each 64-key block of (q·k)/sqrt(D); select top-8 blocks (ties -> larger block index, matching Python's descending tuple sort), union with the last-64-token sliding window, fp32 softmax over exactly that key set. Structural facts exploited: * Every non-diagonal causal block is FULL (64 keys), so its importance is exactly q · mean(k_block) * scale -> precompute block key-means once (stored transposed [D, NB] so importance loads coalesce across lanes). * The diagonal block's causal keys [64*(t//64), t] are always a subset of the sliding window [t-63, t], so selected blocks only contribute keys strictly below the window start; the window supplies the rest. Kernel shape (tuned on B200 via ncu + A/B sweeps; see run transcript): one warp per query, 8 warps/CTA. Scores: 8 (D=64) or 16 (D=128) lanes cooperate per key row -> 4 cache lines per load instruction instead of 32, with q hoisted to registers (the shared-mem q reads otherwise re-issue per iteration and bank-conflict). Scores + key indices live packed as float2 in shared memory, read back as float4 pairs in the P·V pass (halves the shared-load count). P·V keeps 4 independent coalesced V-row loads in flight per lane. __launch_bounds__ min-blocks 6 (D=64) / 4 (D=128) buys occupancy that the natural register allocation leaves on the table. The Python wrapper caches a CUDA graph per distinct (data_ptr, shape, stride) input set: the eval harness times individual model calls, and graph replay removes the pybind + double-launch dispatch overhead. Replay recomputes from live input memory (verified by in-place mutation tests); new/rescaled input tensors get their own capture.
