"""Optimized top-k over the last dim of a 2D fp32 tensor. Strategy (v6: radix-select in registers + split main/tail kernels) ------------------------------------------------------------------- * Keys: each element becomes a 64-bit key = (monotonic-float-bits << 32) | index. Key order == (value desc, index), all comparisons are unsigned. * Main kernel: each thread holds a small chunk of keys in registers (<= 8 elements loaded as float4) plus alive/won bitmasks. Radix passes (top byte of the value bits down) narrow the candidate set: shared-memory 256-bin histogram (smem atomics, double-buffered so zeroing overlaps with filtering), warp-0 scan picks the pivot digit and updates k, every thread classifies its elements (won / alive / dead) in registers. Passes stop early as soon as the alive set has exactly the demanded size (it then fully belongs to the top-k). Winners are compacted; for single-block rows a single warp bitonic-sorts the k winners via shuffles and writes the descending output; multi-block rows publish their K winners to scratch. * Tail kernel (multi-block rows only, separate launch so no cross-block fences/counters are needed -- stream ordering gives visibility): one block per row runs the same radix-select over the per-block candidate lists. * k == 1 uses a dedicated argmax-reduction kernel. * Overhead reduction: per Model instance we preallocate outputs/scratch and capture the kernel launch(es) into a CUDA graph keyed by the input pointer. Steady-state forwards are a single graph replay; first sighting of a new input pointer captures (and immediately replays) a graph for it.
