[Perf][foundry][Mamba] Flatten batch-chunk ownership for placed scans

[zhen8838]

Summary

• Implement the analysis-derived DaCumsumFwd kernel with live batch-by-chunk CTA ownership, two rows per CTA, shared fp32 dA scan storage, and tuple-parallel (row, head, pos) writers.
• Match mamba_ssm no-bias behavior by reusing A as an unused internal ABI placeholder instead of allocating a CUDA zero-bias tensor.
• Preserve the public Op, optional bias behavior, fp32 prefix semantics, output layouts and dtypes, manifest workloads, reference, benchmark, and evaluation paths.

The live Split HIR directly feeds placed_dt into the transform. The selected-row reshard documents the ownership conversion required by TileFoundry's Split/IndexCopy semantics. smem_hint records the installed CUDA partitioner's SMEM limitation; production shared-memory storage is implemented in TileLang.

Production Mapping

da_cumsum_fwd_placed_main implements the same ownership model with ROWS_PER_CTA=2. Its BLOCK_H is selected from measured configurations: 1 for the B=1,H=48 primary shape and 2 for the other primary shapes. The production body uses T.Parallel(ROWS_PER_CTA, BLOCK_H, Q) for unique (row, head, pos) ownership and passes tl.disable_data_race_check=True because the installed verifier cannot prove the affine mapping. This disables only the conservative warning pass; correctness is covered by the full test suite and TileFoundry runtime twin.

Result And Limitations

improvement without SOTA

• The candidate beats the incumbent on all five primary rows with 1.2234x geometric-mean improvement.
• mamba_ssm remains faster on every row with 0.6175x candidate geometric-mean time.
• The remaining gap is the TileLang lowering of shared dA cumsum and ownership structure. Direct dt stores under nested Serial ownership were slow, while tuple-parallel ownership restores the efficient lowering.
• TileFoundry core analysis is complete for the live Split HIR. Its CTA scheduler reports no feasible partition; this is a recorded TileFoundry limitation and does not invalidate the analysis-derived implementation.
