What problem does it solve? After swimlane analysis and graph-level tuning, PyPTO operators on Ascend NPU may still have individual tasks with excessive latency. This Skill guides in-kernel performance tuning by analyzing single-task instructions and operations to eliminate remaining bottlenecks. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Special Shape Handling: Reshape small or irregular matmul shapes (e.g., large M with tiny N) using Vector preprocessing, concat, and tile shape configuration. - L2 Cache Policy Tuning: Apply set_cache_policy with NONE_CACHEABLE to large read-once weight matrices, with guidance on batch setting for fused operators. - Pipeline & Memory Optimizations: Enable compute/data-movement overlap via submit_before_loop, fix non-contiguous operands, avoid tail-block zero padding with valid_shape, and optimize Gather/Scatter directions. - Use Case: A fused Pangu 7B layer operator stuck at 437us after prior tuning is reduced to 354us (-19.1%) by setting all five weight matrices to NONE_CACHEABLE, following the documented iteration and failure analysis. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to perform in-kernel performance tuning on your PyPTO operator after swimlane analysis, providing the latest profiling data and the slow task details.
