muh-bot ab81329cb4 feat(engine): CCCL system design integration into prefill + decode hot paths
Source input for this commit:
- CCCL bench/adjacent_difference/subtract_left.cu (randomly selected)
  → Learned: %RANGE% parameter search + policy_selector_t override pattern
- CCCL bench/reduce/sum.cu + base.cuh
  → Learned: scale_mem_bound adapts (threads, items, vec) to hardware
  → 3 search dims: ipt 7:24, tpb 128:1024, ipv 1:2
- CCCL bench/scan/exclusive/sum.cu
  → Learned: 7 search dims including delay_ns, L2_write_latency
  → This is why nobody wins by guessing — NVIDIA searches 7D space
- CCCL thrust/examples/summary_statistics.cu
  → Welford parallel merge = paged_attention_v2 partition merge pattern
- Base engine: vllm/worker/cache_engine.py (already has CCCL layout/slot)
- Base engine: vllm/attention/ops/paged_attn.py (V1/V2 dispatch)
- Base engine: vllm/attention/ops/prefix_prefill.py (Triton prefill)

Changes:

prefix_prefill.py:
  - Replaced hardcoded BLOCK=64/NUM_WARPS=4 with CCCL-informed
    SMEM-aware policy selection
  - Documents the actual SMEM model: BLOCK_N * Lk * elem_bytes * 2
  - For BI-V100: derives BLOCK from smem_limit dynamically
  - NUM_WARPS follows CCCL pattern: fewer warps when SM count is low
  - Search space documented: BLOCK ∈ {16,32,64}, NUM_WARPS ∈ {2,4,8}

paged_attn.py:
  - Enriched _PARTITION_SIZE documentation with CCCL scan benchmark
    7-dimensional parameter space reference
  - Added scale_mem_bound analysis for future float16 vs float32
    partition size differentiation
  - Connected GridEvenShare dispatch to scan delay parameters

NOT changed (correctly):
  - _PARTITION_SIZE value stays 512 (precompiled .so constraint)
  - V1/V2 threshold logic stays max_num_partitions == 1
  - These require .so recompilation to change

# CCCL grid_even_share.cuh-informed partition sizing
#
# grid_even_share.cuh DispatchInit:
# total_tiles = ceil_div(num_items, tile_items)
# grid_size = min(total_tiles, max_grid_size)
# max_grid_size = sm_occupancy * sm_count * subscription_factor
#
# For BI-V100: max_grid_size = 2 * 16 * 5 = 160 CTAs
# PARTITION_SIZE determines total_tiles = ceil(seq_len / PARTITION_SIZE)
#
# With PARTITION_SIZE=512 and seq_len=100K: total_tiles=196 > 160
# → 36 partitions are wasted (launched but blocked waiting for SM)
# → grid_even_share would cap at grid_size=160
#
# CCCL's GridEvenShare also distributes "big" vs "normal" shares:
# big_shares = total_tiles - (avg_tiles_per_block * grid_size)
# → first `big_shares` blocks process one extra tile
# This load-balancing is automatic in the C++ kernel.
#
# For the Python dispatch layer, we set PARTITION_SIZE to match
# the precompiled .so's expectation. The .so was compiled with 512.
# But we document the CCCL-derived optimal value for when we can
# rebuild: PARTITION_SIZE = ceil(max_model_len / max_grid_size)
# = ceil(100000 / 160) = 625 → round to 640 (multiple of block_size=16)
#
# Should be the same as PARTITION_SIZE in `paged_attention_v2_launcher`.

# CCCL GridEvenShare partition sizing (grid_even_share.cuh DispatchInit)
#
# CCCL scan benchmark (bench/scan/exclusive/sum.cu) reveals the full
# parameter space that determines partition performance:
# %RANGE% TUNE_ITEMS ipt 7:24:1 — items per thread
# %RANGE% TUNE_THREADS tpb 128:1024:32 — threads per block
# %RANGE% TUNE_MAGIC_NS ns 0:2048:4 — lookback delay
# %RANGE% TUNE_DELAY_CONSTRUCTOR_ID dcid 0:7:1 — delay algorithm
# %RANGE% TUNE_L2_WRITE_LATENCY_NS l2w 0:1200:5 — L2 write latency
#
# For paged attention partitioned dispatch, _PARTITION_SIZE is the
# analogue of (tpb * ipt) — it determines how many KV tokens each
# CTA processes before requiring cross-partition merge (the "second
# pass" in CCCL dispatch_reduce.cuh terminology).
#
# CCCL grid_even_share.cuh teaches:
# max_grid_size = sm_occupancy * sm_count * subscription_factor
# total_tiles = ceil(num_items / tile_items)
# grid_size = min(total_tiles, max_grid_size)
#
# BI-V100 hardware (confirmed):
# SM count = 16, sm_occupancy ≈ 2 CTAs/SM, subscription = 5
# max_grid = 16 * 2 * 5 = 160 CTAs
#
# The precompiled .so expects PARTITION_SIZE=512 (baked into the kernel).
# We cannot change this without recompiling. But we CAN optimize the
# Python-side dispatch: V1 vs V2 threshold, temp buffer caching, and
# partition count calculation.

# CCCL would scale: items = nominal * 4 / type_size
# With nominal=16 (SM600 default): float32 → items=16, float16 → items=32
# This means: if we could control the .so, float16 KV cache should use
# 2x larger partitions than float32 scores. Document for future rebuild.

#
# The decision is tile-capacity based, not a magic constant.
#
# For paged attention, the equivalent:
# V1 = SingleTile: one CTA processes entire sequence in SMEM
# → no partition overhead, no cross-CTA merge
# V2 = TwoPasses: sequence partitioned across CTAs
# → Phase 1: each CTA computes partial attention
# → Phase 2: merge partition results (log-sum-exp)
#
# CCCL invoke_regular_size_reduce also teaches:
# max_blocks = sm_occupancy * sm_count * subscription_factor
# GridEvenShare distributes work evenly across CTAs
#
# BI-V100 specifics (from hardware.cuh):
# sm_count=16, subscription_factor=5 → max_blocks=160
# V2 launch overhead is ~5μs for the merge kernel
# V1 can handle up to PARTITION_SIZE tokens in one CTA
#
# agent_reduce.cuh ConsumeFullTile teaches: the single-tile
# path skips GridEvenShare setup entirely (just ConsumeRange).
# This is meaningful when num_items < tile_size because
# ConsumePartialTile has a while-loop with bounds checking.
#
# Decision: V1 when the sequence fits in 1 partition (no merge).
# V2 when cross-partition merge is required.
