Add a CP implementation variant with KV all-gather.
Description
This is a CP implementation variant with KV all-gather. Currently, it can support:
- sliding window attention + causal + FlashAttention
- full window attention + causal + FlashAttention
- full window attention + causal + FusedAttention
Will add more functionality support later.
The KV all-gather communication is exposed, but the overheads should be small with GQA/MQA.
