optimize-triton-ascend-discrete-loads

Optimize bounded discrete reads in Triton-Ascend by staging a contiguous source vector in UB and selecting elements with tl.gather. Use when an agent implements out = x[idx], ports arbitrary global-memory gathers from GPU, or sees scalarized indirect loads and the complete source domain is small enough to fit on chip.

# Optimize Triton-Ascend Discrete Loads

## Goal

Replace repeated indirect global reads with one contiguous global-to-UB transfer followed by on-chip gather.

## Workflow

1. Confirm the source domain length M is bounded and fits the UB budget.
2. Load x[0:M] contiguously into an on-chip vector.
3. Load the N indices and validate both lower and upper bounds.
4. Replace invalid indices with a safe value before tl.gather.
5. Gather along the source axis and store only valid outputs.
