6cc1c9332d docs: Phase 14 design doc + benchmark, fix Phase 11/12 honesty
Phase 14 (Flash Attention):
- Design doc: FA2 algorithm, SM120 hardware constraints (FA4 incompatible),
  kernel config (BR=BC=64, 32KB smem), GQA mapping, causal tile-skip,
  known limitations and optimization roadmap
- Benchmark doc: correctness (9/10 top-1 match, identical to pre-FA baseline),
  performance tracking (6.9→10.3→12.9 tok/s across phases), memory savings
  analysis, remaining bottleneck breakdown

Phase 11 doc: title corrected from "Paged Attention" to "GPU-Resident KV Cache"
with explicit note that paged allocation was not implemented.

Phase 12 doc: "当前状态" updated from "未实现" to reflect actual state —
iteration-level scheduling implemented + verified (6.0x concurrent speedup),
batched GPU forward explicitly marked as not yet implemented.

268e40d764 phase 10: add Qwen3-8B benchmark + performance fix
Benchmark infrastructure:
- bench-qwen3 binary: 50 prompts × 20 tokens with KV cache
- bench_compare_qwen3.py: comparison against HF transformers (BF16)

Performance fix:
- Precompute transposed weights at model load time (eliminated per-token
  weight transpose CPU round-trip: was 252 transposes × 32MB each = 8GB/token)
- Result: from "infinite" (>10 min/token) to 144ms/token

Results (50 prompts):
- Prefill top-1: 42/50 (84%), top-5: 50/50 (100%) vs HF transformers
- Greedy sequence: 0/50 exact match (BF16 precision drift over 36 layers)
- Performance: TTFT=138ms, TBT=144ms, 6.9 tok/s (HF: 21ms, 45.6 tok/s)
- All outputs are coherent English/Chinese

64084d3489 phase 9: KV cache + autoregressive generation
- KVCache: per-layer, per-head storage with append + reconstruct
- forward_with_cache: prefill (full prompt) + decode (single token) modes
- Fixed data layout bug: per-head vectors avoid cross-head interleaving
- CLI updated to use KV cache by default
- bench-gpt2 supports --no-cache flag for comparison

Benchmark results (50 prompts × 20 tokens):
- KV cache vs no-cache: 50/50 bit-identical (cache is correct)
- 18x speedup: TTFT 400→24ms, TBT 407→22ms, throughput 2.5→44 tok/s
- vs HF transformers: 40/50 match (10 are FP divergence, avg logit gap 0.20)

cb12250ef0 phase 8: add benchmark framework + baseline results
- bench-gpt2 binary: runs 50 prompts, measures TTFT/TBT per prompt, outputs JSON
- bench_compare.py: compares xserv vs transformers token-by-token + timing
- Baseline results: 50/50 correctness, 400ms TTFT / 407ms TBT (100x slower than PyTorch)
- Bottlenecks documented: no KV cache, CPU round-trips, cuBLAS handle churn
