FlashAttention

An attention algorithm that reorganizes computation into tiles to reduce transfers between different levels of device memory. It computes exact attention in the algorithmic sense rather than replacing it with a sparse approximation. Floating-point rounding, supported masks, hardware and implementation details still matter; exact does not mean universally bit-for-bit identical.
