**Diagnosing GPU performance issues** I'm looking at our GPU performance, noticing it has a time of 14ms, but the linear operation takes about 551ms? That seems contradictory, especially with timing at 45ms for attention. I know PyTorch's reference might be 400ms, likely due to weight storage. Implementing H100 efficient attention could help—though the qkv linear operation might be costly due to memory. I think improving by fusing the x transpose with the QKV projection could optimize things too. Custom qkv projections might be worth exploring as well. **Optimizing efficient attention** For 16k length, efficient attention is running at 45ms, but I see our timing is only 14ms. That raises questions. I suspect that using MHA with need_weights=True could lead to allocating attention weights across multiple heads, which can be slow and use significant memory. I’ll need to ensure correctness while considering static checks. Before submitting, I think further optimizations are possible. Maybe I can address uncoalesced writes in our custom layer normalization and rethink the output layout for better performance. **Considering write coalescing** I'm thinking about how to coalesce writes efficiently. One approach could be to process a tile of L for one batch (b) and all channels (C). For instance, I could block sizes of 16 for l and 128 for C, then compute the mean for each l using the thread distribution of c/l. This way, I can focus on writing coalescing for each channel across the length, which might help improve performance overall. **Evaluating tensor views** I'm trying to check if the output after norm in the shape of [L,B,C] is contiguous. I think permuting it with (1,2,0) gives strides like (C,1,B*C). Then there's the question of viewing B,C,H,W — but I'm wondering if that might lead to a stride like (C,1,W*B*C), which probably means it’s not contiguous. I’m uncertain if the view would succeed in that case. This needs some thought!

**Exploring attention methods** I’m contemplating whether we can implement custom approximate attention using linearized Taylor. The immediate answer seems to be no, but maybe I can manage fixed weights. I think I can work on the correctness harness for state copying, which seems promising. It sounds like I should check parameter values from a new model if the random copy isn’t the same, but it passed the test. I definitely need to perform a static check to ensure everything’s in order.
