Fix ramp_lanes calculation in CUDA codegen

[LJC00118]

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Refactor
  • Enhanced CUDA code generation efficiency by simplifying vector operation calculations. Removed special-case handling that previously applied different rules for certain data types. Now uses a unified approach for computing vector operation widths across all buffer operations, ensuring more consistent behavior and improving code maintainability. Includes minor formatting improvements.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change modifies src/target/codegen_cuda.cc to unify ramp lane calculations across BufferLoadNode and BufferStoreNode vectorization paths. It replaces conditional logic with a single uniform formula ramp_lanes = value_dtype.lanes() / element_dtype.lanes(), eliminating special-case handling for sub-byte element types.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
CUDA Vectorization Logic src/target/codegen_cuda.cc	Replaces conditional ramp_lanes calculation with uniform formula across three code paths (BufferLoadNode vectorization, BufferStoreNode vectorization, and ramp-based handling). Removes special-case conditions for sub-byte element types (element_dtype.bits() < 8). Includes minor formatting cleanup.

🐰 Special cases fade away,
One formula rules the day,
Sub-byte checks no longer bind,
Cleaner code we're sure to find!
✨ Ramp lanes align, simple and neat!

2875-2876: Same divisibility concern applies to store path.

The ramp lane calculation here mirrors the one in BufferLoadNode (line 2811), which is good for consistency. However, the same divisibility invariant must hold: value_dtype.lanes() must be evenly divisible by element_dtype.lanes(), otherwise integer division truncation could cause incorrect ramp pattern matching.

The unified formula improves consistency between load and store vectorization paths. Ensure that the same validation approach is applied to both code paths.

2811-2812: The concern about integer division truncation is technically valid. The code enters the vectorized load/store path only when value_dtype.lanes() != element_dtype.lanes() (line 2805/2867), implying a mathematical relationship is expected. However, ramp_lanes = value_dtype.lanes() / element_dtype.lanes() performs silent integer division without validating divisibility. If value_dtype.lanes() is not evenly divisible by element_dtype.lanes(), the truncated value could cause incorrect ramp pattern matching or missed vectorization opportunities.

That said, since this code was merged and appears functional, the divisibility invariant likely holds by design. To confirm this is safe, either: (1) document the invariant that value_dtype.lanes() is always divisible by element_dtype.lanes() in this context, or (2) add a defensive ICHECK_EQ(value_dtype.lanes() % element_dtype.lanes(), 0) at lines 2811 and 2875 for safety.
