Review comment:
What’s the extent of threadidx.x? I think the test case in this PR
clearly shows rounding up to the warp size is needed. It is the same as softmax
failures I have seen. As there is no warp level allocation of size n, we
allocate n/32 elements in each thread. If n is not a multiple of 32, we need to
”over-allocate“ slightly and predict the access.
