""" corex_fa2.py — FlashAttention2 dispatch for BI-V100 Competitor 168's log shows THREE corex_fa2 dispatch paths: corex_fa2.py:333 → Using CoreX FA2 packed prefill: B=2 Hq=4 Hkv=1 D=256 max_q=2048 max_k=2048 corex_fa2.py:507 → Using CoreX paged FA2 chunked prefill: B=1 Hq=4 Hkv=1 D=256 max_q=17 cache_blocks=2 corex_fa2.py:225 → Using CoreX paged decode: B=1 Hq=4 Hkv=1 D=256 max_k=45455 partition=256 These replace the xformers SDPA backend for the 32 full-attention layers in Qwen3.5.
