reasoning
**Considering CUDA integration** I’m thinking about how we can include C++ host code within `cuda_sources`. It seems like using `load_inline` with `cuda_sources` can help incorporate C++ definitions that are compiled by NVCC. This approach makes sense since I need those functions to be visible for binding. It feels like a neat way to handle things, and I'm curious what it will look like in practice when I put this together. **Considering memory allocation** I’m thinking about calling contiguous but wondering if it will copy something I don’t want. The input's shape is contiguous, so maybe I can check with x.contiguous? If it’s already contiguous, no need to create a copy. I’m also considering potential memory limits. If the output allocation is empty_like and set to 8.6GB, while the input is also 8.6GB, is it feasible to allocate around 24GB? This seems tricky!
