reasoning
The task is to replace the forward computation of a PyTorch model for causal grouped-query attention with a custom CUDA kernel. The reference implementation is inefficient, looping over batch, heads, ...I need to create a custom CUDA kernel for causal grouped-query attention in PyTorch, replacing the slow reference implementation.
