**Exploring chunk sizes**
I'm thinking about chunk sizes and their impact on performance. If I use smaller chunks like C=64 instead of 256, I could have more parallel processing, but there might be a trade-off with overhead and the number of passes. With the kernel setup, if I go with chunk 64, I could see more blocks and potentially less work per thread, which might improve occupancy. Still, I need to profile both CHUNK 64 and 256 for correctness.
