Summary
Adds PTX-only vector memory intrinsics for explicit
f32vector load/store code generation.This introduces:
PTXMemory.LoadF32x2/StoreF32x2PTXMemory.LoadF32x4/StoreF32x4Float2andFloat4helper structsArrayViewconvenience helpersThe main use case is CUDA kernels that need predictable vector memory instructions instead of relying on backend inference from ordinary scalar or struct access patterns.
Details
The new PTX intrinsics generate explicit PTX vector memory operations:
ld.v2.f32st.v2.f32ld.v4.f32st.v4.f32For
f32x4, ptxas can lower these to 128-bit global memory instructions such asLD.E.128andST.E.128when alignment and addressing are suitable.This is useful for performance-sensitive kernels that operate on adjacent float values.
