From 33c80d830623e0bb9aac51e6bfbc15af58ecd136 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: root Date: Sat, 14 Feb 2026 20:10:09 -0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] Replace RMSNorm backward with Bastile persistent kernel, add comparison benchmark MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Forward kernels (gather + static persistent) remain unchanged except the persistent kernel now also stores rstd so backward works from both modes. Backward: replaced old one-row-per-block approach (M×N temp buffer) with Bastile's grid-stride persistent kernel (grid × TILE_N partial sums for dw). - Both forward modes now support backward (previously only gather did) - Removed unused ConstInt/ConstFloat/PAD_ZERO aliases, import math, experimental_kernel - Added bench_rmsnorm_tilegym_vs_bastile.py comparison benchmark - All 8 correctness tests pass, benchmark numbers unchanged --- src/tilegym/ops/cutile/rms_norm.py | 299 +++++++++--------- .../bench_rmsnorm_tilegym_vs_bastile.py | 296 +++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 451 insertions(+), 144 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/benchmark/bench_rmsnorm_tilegym_vs_bastile.py diff --git a/src/tilegym/ops/cutile/rms_norm.py b/src/tilegym/ops/cutile/rms_norm.py index e983d74..1993961 100644 --- a/src/tilegym/ops/cutile/rms_norm.py +++ b/src/tilegym/ops/cutile/rms_norm.py @@ -2,139 +2,15 @@ # # SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT -import math -
