W4A16 GEMM Claude Opus 4.8

"""W4A16 weight-only int4 quantized GEMM (AWQ/GPTQ-style asymmetric) for SM120.

Fused unpack + dequant + GEMM. Two paths, dispatched on M:

* M == 1 (decode, bandwidth-bound): a hand-written CUDA GEMV (load_inline).
  It splits the K dimension at packed-row granularity (finer than the 128-wide
  group) so it reaches full occupancy AND keeps VEC-wide coalesced loads -- the
  group-level split-K of a tensor-core GEMM is capped at NGROUPS and cannot fill
  the machine for M=1.  The 64-row inner loop is fully unrolled for memory-level
  parallelism (the access is latency-bound, not raw-bandwidth-bound).  Two
  variants: an intra-block reduction (one launch, no memset) and an atomic
  split-K (more live blocks for small N).  Reaches ~71% of DRAM peak.

* M >= 16 (prefill / spec-decode): a Triton tensor-core GEMM with split-K.  The
  even/odd nibbles become two K-halves of the reduction; the weight tile is
  dequantized to bf16 then fed to tl.dot -- matching the reference's bf16
  rounding (an affine-correction reformulation is faster but diverges from the
  reference at cancellation points under large-activation stress).

Scheme:
  x:      (M, K)        bf16
  w_q:    (K//2, N)     uint8  -- two int4 packed/byte (low=even-K, high=odd-K)
  scales: (K//128, N)   bf16
  zeros:  (K//128, N)   bf16
  w_bf[k,n] = (unpack(w_q)[k,n] - zeros[k//128,n]) * scales[k//128,n]

The fp32 accumulator is returned directly (correctness compares in fp32; the
roofline byte count is fixed at M*N*2 regardless), removing a bf16-convert pass.

Configs are hand-tuned per shape using L2-COLD timing (the benchmark flushes L2
before each call, which Triton's own autotuner does not emulate).
