Ettore Di Giacinto 3c1ed67b4b feat(paged): qwen35 gated-DeltaNet decode occupancy/coalescing retune (patch 0022)
Bit-exact occupancy retune of gated_delta_net_cuda, the B=128 decode recurrence
kernel, carried as paged patch 0022. After the f32 verdict (vLLM carries the
gated-DeltaNet temporal state in float32 and moves the same ~805 MB/call as llama;
the gap was pure DRAM bandwidth efficiency on equal bytes - llama 73.4% vs vLLM
82.4% of the 273 GB/s GB10 peak), the lever is a latency-coverage retune that keeps
the per-column f32 reduction/FMA order byte-identical (md5-gateable). The
bf16-state plan stays shelved.

Column folding: each warp owns COLS_PER_WARP columns of the 128x128 recurrent state
instead of 1, looping the existing per-column body over col, col+NUM_WARPS, ...
within a per-block column tile; grid.z = S_v / (NUM_WARPS*COLS_PER_WARP). The
per-lane strided row sharding and the warp_reduce butterfly are unchanged, so only
the (warp,block)->column assignment differs and the result is bit-identical;
per-warp memory-level parallelism rises ~COLS_PER_WARP-fold, covering more DRAM
latency on this bandwidth-bound kernel. Default tile is the measured GB10 winner
(NUM_WARPS=16, COLS_PER_WARP=8), env-selectable via GDN_NW / GDN_CPW.

GB10: gated_delta_net decode 4.02 -> 3.49 ms/call, 73.4% -> 84.6% of peak (above
vLLM's 82.4%; 102.6% of vLLM recurrence BW). decode S_TG t/s: dense 27b npl128
335.9 -> 373.2 (+11.1%), MoE 35b-a3b npl128 688.4 -> 745.7 (+8.3%). Greedy md5
byte-identical to the 0021 baseline on both q36-27b-nvfp4 and q36-35b-a3b-nvfp4;
test-backend-ops -o GATED_DELTA_NET 36/36 PASS. Bench/method in
OCCUPANCY_RETUNE_RESULTS.md.
