//! PAR-036: Persistent Thread Execution Kernel
//!
//! Eliminates kernel launch overhead by keeping threads alive across tokens.
//!
//! ## Standard Approach (40+ kernel launches per token)
//!
//! ```text
//! For each token:
//!   Launch RMSNorm kernel → wait
//!   Launch Q_proj kernel → wait
//!   Launch K_proj kernel → wait
//!   ... (40+ launches per token for Qwen 3B)
//! ```
//!
//! ## Persistent Thread Approach (1 kernel launch for entire sequence)
//!
//! ```text
//! Launch once with work queue:
//!   Thread blocks poll global work queue
//!   Process layers as work becomes available
//!   Grid-wide barriers between layer computations
//! ```
//!
//! ## Performance Impact
//!
//! - Eliminates 40+ kernel launches per token
//! - Reduces launch overhead by 10-50µs per token
//! - Expected speedup: 1.3x for decode phase
