description = "Every serving stack does append-then-attend as two kernels, because a kernel boundary is a free device-wide fence. Fuse them and you have to rebuild that guarantee yourself: a release fence after a scattered page write, a grid-wide barrier, an acquire on the other side -- for a store whose address came out of a shuffled page table and whose reader is a different block. This task allows ONE launch, so the boundary genuinely has to go."

# Without it ncu exits with ERR_NVGPUCTRPERM. `nsys` works without any extra capability.
