Claude 9cb7f9d037 [OPT] PagedAttention V2 implementation — fill the NotImplementedError hole
The single biggest performance bottleneck in the baseline:
paged_attention_v2 = raise NotImplementedError()
paged_attn.py: use_v1 = True (hardcoded to avoid calling V2)

V1 limitation: processes entire KV sequence in one kernel launch.
For seq_len=100K, this is a single massive attention computation.
V2: splits into PARTITION_SIZE=512 chunks, runs them in parallel,
then reduces with log-sum-exp. 195 parallel partitions vs 1.

Implementation (paged_attention_v2_pytorch.py):
  Phase 1: Per-partition attention
    - For each (seq, head, partition): compute QK^T, softmax, weighted V sum
    - Store partial: tmp_output, exp_sums, max_logits (per partition)
  Phase 2: Cross-partition reduction (log-sum-exp)
    - global_max = max(max_logits across partitions)
    - rescale = exp(partition_max - global_max) × partition_exp_sum
    - output = Σ (rescale / total_sum) × partition_output

This is the same algorithm as vllm's paged_attention_v2_kernel.cu:
  - The reduction pattern is identical to CCCL's block_reduce_warp_reductions
    (combine partial statistics from independent segments)
  - The online softmax tiling is the same as Flash Attention's partitioning

Integration:
  - patch_paged_attention_v2.py patches _custom_ops.py and paged_attn.py
  - Removes use_v1=True hardcode → V2 used for seq_len > 8192
  - Dockerfile adds the patch step

This is a PyTorch implementation (no CUDA compilation needed).
Next step: if /usr/local/corex/ has ixcc or nvcc-compatible compiler,
replace with compiled CUDA kernel for further speedup.

paged_attention_v2_pytorch.py — BI-V100 PagedAttention V2 implementation
=========================================================================
Fills the `raise NotImplementedError()` hole in vllm/_custom_ops.py.
Algorithm: Partitioned attention with log-sum-exp reduction.
Phase 1: Each partition independently computes attention over its KV range.
Outputs per-partition: partial_output, exp_sum, max_logit.
Phase 2: Reduce across partitions using numerically stable log-sum-exp.
Combines partial outputs weighted by their softmax denominators.
This is the same algorithm as vllm's paged_attention_v2_kernel.cu,
implemented in PyTorch. It works on any backend (including BI-V100)
without requiring CUDA compilation.
Performance vs V1:
V1: O(seq_len) work per thread block, limited by SMEM for softmax buffer.
When seq_len > 8192, single block can't fit all logits in SMEM.
V2: O(PARTITION_SIZE) work per thread block, arbitrary seq_len.
More parallelism (partitions run concurrently).
For seq_len=100K, PARTITION_SIZE=512: 195 partitions per (seq, head).
Correctness: tested against V1 output for seq_len < 8192 (where both work).
The log-sum-exp reduction is numerically equivalent to full softmax.
Deploy:
1. Copy this file to the image
2. In _custom_ops.py, replace `raise NotImplementedError()` with the call
