[OPT] BI-V100 Triton kernel tuning + computility-run.yaml optimization

After reading the full baseline (enginex-vllm-bi100-qwen36-main.zip):

KEY DISCOVERY: The competition optimization surface is Python/Triton,
not C++ CUDA. There is no csrc/ directory. All CUDA kernels are
precompiled in vllm._C and ixformer .so files. The muh C++ headers
have no injection point in this competition framework.

What CAN be optimized:

1. Triton kernel parameters (prefix_prefill.py):
   - BLOCK: stays at 64 (correct — BLOCK_N=128 overflows 48KB SMEM
     at head_dim=128: 128×128×2×2=64KB > 48KB)
   - NUM_WARPS: 8 → 4 (derived from occupancy analysis:
     at 8 warps + 32KB SMEM/block, only 1 block fits per SM;
     at 4 warps, potentially 2 blocks per SM = 2× occupancy;
     BI-V100 is bandwidth-limited (900GB/s), so more blocks
     hiding bandwidth latency matters more than more warps
     hiding instruction latency)

2. computility-run.yaml:
   - max-num-batched-tokens: 8192 → 16384 (larger prefill chunks
     reduce kernel launch overhead; with max-num-seqs=1, SMEM
     pressure is determined by BLOCK, not batch token count)
   - gpu-memory-utilization: 0.9 → 0.95 (model uses ~17.5GB/GPU,
     KV cache for 100K tokens ≈ 1.38GB, plenty of headroom)

3. Added Dockerfile with patch_triton_tuning.py step.

4. Analysis document in optimizations/prefix_prefill_patch.py
   with full SMEM/register/occupancy derivation.

patch_triton_tuning.py — BI-V100 Triton kernel parameter optimization
======================================================================
Patches prefix_prefill.py to use BI-V100-optimal BLOCK and NUM_WARPS values.
Hardware derivation:
BI-V100 SMEM = 48KB. Triton Flash Attention needs K+V tiles in SMEM:
SMEM = BLOCK_N × head_dim × sizeof(fp16) × 2
BLOCK_N=64, head_dim=128 → 32KB ≤ 48KB ✓ (current, correct)
BLOCK_N=128, head_dim=128 → 64KB > 48KB ✗ (would crash)
→ BLOCK must stay at 64.
NUM_WARPS derivation:
At BLOCK=64, each block does 64 query positions.
8 warps = 256 threads → each thread handles 32 elements from Q tile.
4 warps = 128 threads → each thread handles 64 elements.
With 50 SMs and typical grid of 37K+ blocks:
At 8 warps + 32KB SMEM: 1 block per SM (SMEM-limited)
At 4 warps + 32KB SMEM: potentially 2 blocks per SM
BI-V100 is bandwidth-limited (900 GB/s), not latency-limited.
Fewer warps hiding latency matters less; more blocks = better.
→ NUM_WARPS = 4
