Claude 10af71357b [CCCL-PORT] Two architecture-level optimizations from CCCL system design
Source CCCL files read as input:
  - cub/block/block_scan.cuh (RAKING algorithm concept)
  - cub/device/dispatch/dispatch_reduce.cuh (GridEvenShare, two-pass)
  - cub/agent/agent_reduce.cuh (vectorized vs scalar load paths)
  - thrust/examples/histogram.cu (sort + reduce_by_key pattern)
  - thrust/examples/scan_by_key.cu (keyed scan for state propagation)

Optimization 1: DeltaNet chunk kernel — solve_triangular replaces for-loop
  63 Python iterations → 1 CUDA kernel (lower-triangular system solve)

Optimization 2: MoE prefill — sort tokens by expert_id for contiguous gather
  CCCL histogram pattern: sort → segment → batched process

DeltaNet chunk kernel optimization — replacing O(chunk_size) Python loop
with batched matrix solve.
CCCL insight source: cub/block/block_scan.cuh (RAKING algorithm)
BlockScan computes prefix sums within a block using a raking reduction
+ exclusive scan on partial sums. The key insight: the sequential
dependency between rows of the lower-triangular "attn" matrix is
equivalent to solving a lower-triangular linear system.
The Python loop at qwen3_5.py:117-120:
for i in range(1, chunk_size):
row = attn[..., i, :i].clone()
sub = attn[..., :i, :i].clone()
attn[..., i, :i] = row + (row.unsqueeze(-1) * sub).sum(-2)
This computes (I - A)^{-1} where A is the strictly lower-triangular part
of -(k_beta @ key^T) * decay_mask. The loop builds the inverse row-by-row,
which is O(chunk_size^2) in Python with 63 kernel launches.
PyTorch equivalent: torch.linalg.solve_triangular on the batch.
This replaces 63 Python iterations with 1 CUDA kernel call.
CCCL pattern: scan_by_key.cu
The cross-chunk state propagation (initial_state → output_final_state)
is a keyed scan where each chunk is a "key" and the binary operator
merges the chunk's state output into the running state.
Current code: Python for-loop over chunks.
CCCL equivalent: DeviceScanByKey with a custom binary op.
PyTorch equivalent: The loop is inherently sequential (each chunk
depends on the previous chunk's state), BUT we can reduce per-chunk
overhead by fusing the intra-chunk computation.

"""Optimized DeltaNet chunk kernel.
Key optimization over qwen3_5.py version:
1. Replace the O(chunk_size) Python for-loop (lines 117-120) with
torch.linalg.solve_triangular — 1 CUDA kernel instead of 63.
2. Pre-allocate output tensors (CCCL agent_reduce pattern: explicit
memory management, no intermediate allocations in the hot loop).
3. Fuse decay_mask computation with the attention matrix construction.
The mathematical equivalence:
Original loop computes (I - A)^{-1} row by row where A is lower-triangular.
solve_triangular solves (I - A) @ X = RHS directly.
Since attn @ v_beta = (I-A)^{-1} @ v_beta = solve_triangular(I-A, v_beta),
we can skip building the full inverse matrix.
Memory analysis (CCCL dispatch_reduce GridEvenShare pattern):
chunk_size=64, batch=1, heads=48 (local=12), k_dim=128, v_dim=128
A matrix: (1, 12, num_chunks, 64, 64) × 4B = 12 × num_chunks × 16KB
For 4096 token sub-chunk: num_chunks=64, total A = 12 MB
solve_triangular operates in-place on RHS → no extra allocation.
