//! RMS Normalization implementation with GPU support.
//!
//! Root Mean Square Layer Normalization normalizes inputs using only the RMS
//! (root mean square) statistic, without centering (no mean subtraction).
//!
//! ## Why `RMSNorm`?
//!
//! Compared to `LayerNorm`:
//! - Simpler computation (no mean calculation needed)
//! - Empirically performs similarly in practice
//! - Used in modern LLMs like `LLaMA` for efficiency
//!
//! ## Implementation Notes
//!
//! - Formula: output = (x / RMS(x)) * weight
//! - RMS(x) = sqrt(mean(x^2) + eps)
//! - Epsilon (eps) prevents division by zero for numerical stability
//!
//! ## GPU Implementation
//!
//! The CUDA implementation uses a two-pass algorithm:
//! 1. **Reduction Pass**: Compute RMS across the last dimension (coalesced memory access)
//! 2. **Normalization Pass**: Apply scaling and weight multiplication
//!
//! For tensor shape [batch, seq_len, hidden_dim]:
//! - Block layout: (hidden_dim / 32 threads) × (batch × seq_len blocks)
//! - Each thread computes partial RMS, block reduces with shared memory
//! - Results stored in global memory for normalization pass
