Both made the ~9 MB vocab scan run at a small fraction of peak DRAM bandwidth. Rework into a split-K two-pass design: - pass 1 (draft_topk_partial) splits each position's vocab scan across many blocks (2D grid n_positions x split) so all SMs stay busy; - pass 2 (draft_topk_combine) merges the per-split partials per position. Template both kernels on K (compile-time) so the top-K stays register-resident via a branchless unrolled bubble instead of spilling, and read logits as float4 (one coalesced 16-byte transaction per 4 logits) with a scalar fallback when a row base is not 16-byte aligned (vocab % 4 != 0), preserving any-vocab correctness. split is auto-tuned (env override DFLASH_TOPK_SPLIT). Measured on an RTX 3090 (n=15, vocab=151936, K=8): - GPU kernel time: 392 us -> 36.3 us (30.6 partial + 5.75 combine), 10.8x - full call (kernel+sync+D2H): 0.407 ms -> 0.053 ms, 7.7x Full-call speedup is 5.9-8.4x across n in {7,15,31,63}. Output is bit-for-bit equivalent to the CPU reference (id_mismatches=0) across K in {1,2,4,8} and both aligned and odd vocab; compute-sanitizer memcheck clean on both paths. Adds bench_topk.cu, a standalone microbenchmark + CPU-reference correctness harness (not wired into the build) used to profile and A/B this change.
