MegaQwen Decode Claude Opus 5

"""Fast multi-layer decode for Qwen3-0.6B geometry — CUDA megakernel (SM120).

Design
------
Batch-1 decode is pure GEMV: ~1 MAC per 2 bytes of weight, so every stage is
memory bound.  On this GPU (188 SMs, 128 MB L2, ~1.64 TB/s DRAM read, ~8.7 TB/s
L2 read) the 4-layer weight set is 125.8 MB — it *fits in L2*.  So the whole
decode (all layers, all steps) runs in ONE persistent kernel launch:

  * 188 blocks x 256 threads (one block per SM), resident for the whole call.
  * 5 stages per layer (qkv | attn | o+res | gate/up | down+res) separated by a
    hand-rolled release/acquire grid barrier (~0.6 us) — no cooperative launch,
    no cudaGraph, no per-stage launch overhead.
  * Attention is flash-decoding style: blocks split (kv_head x seq); the two
    sibling q heads that share a kv head live in the same block so K/V is read
    once for both.  K and V for a position are interleaved into one 512 B
    record, so each block walks the cache as a single sequential stream.
  * Softmax skips the running max: after RMSNorm+RoPE, |q| and |k| are bounded
    (<= sqrt(128)*max|q_norm|*max|k_norm|), so a *constant* shift keeps exp() in
    range.  That makes the KV pass single-shot streaming with no rescaling.
  * Per-head partials are accumulated with fp32 L2 atomics (only the ~24 blocks
    of one kv head touch a given address) and the softmax divide is deferred to
    the consumer, so no block ever waits on a serial cross-block gather.
  * GEMV weights are pre-permuted on the host so a lane's 16 B weight load pairs
    with a conflict-free stride-32 shared-memory read of the activation.

Numerics follow reference.py exactly: fp32 math, bf16 weights, bf16 hidden
between layers, bf16 KV cache round trip, fp32 residual inside a layer.

// Pin as much of the weight pack in L2 as the set-aside allows.  The pack is
// 125.8 MB and re-read in full every single decode step, so every byte that
// stays resident is a byte of DRAM traffic saved per step; the KV stream is
// loaded with .cs so it cannot evict what we pinned.
//
// Two details the standalone probe (dev/l2s.cu, the ctx-2048 byte mix) says
// matter, both of which the obvious spelling gets wrong:
//   * the window must be an 80 MB *subset* of the pack at hitRatio 1.0, not the
//     whole pack at hitRatio 80/126.  The ratio is a per-line lottery and the
//     losers stay evictable: 44.0 vs 46.8 us.
//   * missProp must be Normal.  Streaming marks the un-pinned remainder
//     evict-first, and it is still re-read every step: 49.4 vs 44.7 us.
// SM120 also refuses .L2::evict_last/evict_first on anything narrower than a
// 32 B load (.v8.b32/.v4.b64) and has no .L2::no_allocate for ld at all, so the
// stream policy window is the only lever available at this load width.
//
// And yet: correctly spelled, it does *nothing* for this kernel.  Sweeping the
// set-aside in situ is flat at every graded context (frac 0 vs 1, interleaved:
// 88.63/88.70 at ctx 2048, 155.30/155.37 at 8192, 417.64/417.75 at 32768), and
// so is the same window applied inside the dev harness over its own cudaMalloc,
// which rules out the plumbing (off/80/64/40 MB: 86.0/86.7/86.6/86.5 at 2048,
// 414.3/410.6/413.4/413.8 at 32768).  The probe only gains because its working
// set is 1.25x L2, where replacement policy decides everything; here ctx 2048 and
// 8192 are barrier-bound rather than DRAM-bound, and by ctx 32768 the 80 MB that
// can be pinned is only ~12% of the step's DRAM traffic.  So this is left off by
// default -- kept, documented, and not worth a global device limit.
