H100, high bandwidth.
I need to implement a custom kernel.
I need to replace the forward computation of a PyTorch model with a custom CUDA kernel. The model adds a residual connection after each convolutional layer, chained together, involving normalization, GELU activation, convolution with dilations, and adding back the original input. To optimize, I can fuse operations like norm, GELU, conv, and add into a single kernel, using shared memory for efficiency, especially on high-bandwidth GPUs like H100. Since the conv is dilated with kernel size 3 and varying dilations per layer, I'll need to implement the convolution manually in CUDA, handling dilations correctly with proper padding.

Good, basic compiles.
Now, I need to implement the full logic.
