reasoning
**Calculating random logits**
I'm looking at the mean over many random uniform logits between 0 and 1, which appears to be stable. I notice that we can use one kernel block per row, possibly with either 256 or 512 threads. When C is set to 4096, each block seems to load the row twice: once for the max and a second time for the exponential sum, plus maybe a target. This structure could be effective for the calculations!
**Analyzing tensor operations**
I'm looking into using atomic 32k with no issue here. Each kernel block reads a row and it seems that occupancy is 32,768 blocks times 256. The shared memory is small, and for every row of 4,096, each thread performs 16 loads per pass—sounds good! I need to produce a scalar for the tensor shape in the format at::Tensor {}. I think I should apply AtomicAdd on the loss per batch.
