自动调优在Triton-on-Ascend中的应用：从参数优化到性能极致挖掘

# 影响算子性能的关键因素
performance_factors = {
    'block_size': [64, 128, 256, 512, 1024],      # 块大小
    'num_warps': [1, 2, 4, 8, 16],                # warp数量
    'num_stages': [1, 2, 3, 4],                   # 流水线阶段
    'vector_size': [1, 2, 4, 8],                 # 向量化大小
    'prefetch_distance': [0, 1, 2, 4]            # 预取距离
}

个人实战洞察：经过大量项目实践，我发现自动调优最大的价值在于系统性解决参数组合爆炸问题。手动调优往往只能尝试有限组合，而自动调优可以系统探索整个参数空间。

8. 总结与最佳实践

8.1 自动调优核心原则

基于大量实战经验，总结出自动调优的黄金法则：

🎯 目标明确：明确调优目标（延迟、吞吐量、能效）
📊 数据驱动：基于实际性能数据进行决策
⚡ 分层调优：从算子级到系统级分层优化
🔄 持续学习：建立持续学习的调优系统
