I have observed that quite a few Reduction.Outer kernels have potential for performance improvement by reducing register pressure. This is due to our current register pressure reduction logics, which only reduces RBLOCK, doesn't work for outer reductions. While we can tighten up there, which will likely increase compile time, I found a better workaround to tune down XBLOCK in the first place.
Perf job: main 9efbb4e (11/16) vs hoy/autotune/reduction
Slight compile time and perf improvement seen.
I also saw perf improvement locally for the few kernels being investigated.
