about

nx_blocked_matmul.nx -- attack the MEMORY-BANDWIDTH roof the AVX2 arc exposed: CACHE BLOCKING. Naive GEMM re-streams ALL of Bt (N*K*4) for EVERY row of A -> at 1024^3, Bt=4MB >> L2, so it re-reads from L3/DRAM M times = the bandwidth wall. i-BLOCKING keeps a panel of A rows (BI*K*4) resident in L2 and reuses each Bt row across the whole panel -> Bt DRAM traffic cut ~BI x. Same AVX2 __f32x8_dot kernel, same result (bit-exact) -- ONLY the loop order / memory-access pattern changes. This is the lever that makes AVX2's width actually pay off and lets multicore scale again. No hw writes (Rule 26). expect_exit: 0 license_tier: ORIGINAL
