EngineX CI 56fd68e7dd [INFRA] Import NVIDIA/CCCL upstream as optimization reference library
CCCL (CUDA C++ Core Libraries) provides:
- CUB: device/block/warp-level GPU primitives (reduce, scan, sort, topk)
- Thrust: high-level parallel algorithms (transform_reduce, sort, scan)
- libcudacxx: CUDA C++ standard library (atomics, barriers, memory)
- cudax: experimental features (memory resources, allocators)
- Tuning policies: per-SM hardware-specific algorithm parameters

Competition optimization vectors mapped to CCCL:
- Output TPS (83% weight): warp_reduce, block_reduce, device_topk
- Input TPS (14% weight): device_scan, block_load, prefetch
- Cache TPS (3% weight): prefix caching strategy patterns
- Memory (0.9 util): pooled/cached/buddy allocators

// This example illustrates several methods for computing a
// histogram [1] with Thrust. We consider standard "dense"
// histograms, where some bins may have zero entries, as well
// as "sparse" histograms, where only the nonzero bins are
// stored. For example, histograms for the data set
// [2 1 0 0 2 2 1 1 1 1 4]
// which contains 2 zeros, 5 ones, and 3 twos and 1 four, is
// [2 5 3 0 1]
// using the dense method and
// [(0,2), (1,5), (2,3), (4,1)]
// using the sparse method. Since there are no threes, the
// sparse histogram representation does not contain a bin
// for that value.
//
// Note that we choose to store the sparse histogram in two
// separate arrays, one array of keys and one array of bin counts,
// [0 1 2 4] - keys
// [2 5 3 1] - bin counts
// This "structure of arrays" format is generally faster and
// more convenient to process than the alternative "array
// of structures" layout.
//
// The best histogramming methods depends on the application.
// If the number of bins is relatively small compared to the
// input size, then the binary search-based dense histogram
// method is probably best. If the number of bins is comparable
// to the input size, then the reduce_by_key-based sparse method
// ought to be faster. When in doubt, try both and see which
// is fastest.
