mukesh 1ddd1baa7a analytical-viz: 'Chip roofline & B*' tab — AI, B*, L*, cost curves
New tab surfaces the arithmetic-intensity story from LLM-serving
practice for the current sidebar chip + model. All derived from
MachineParams + ModelConfig; no new configuration.

chip_roofline module (pure functions):
- arithmetic_intensity      = C / W   (FLOPs per byte HBM BW)
- critical_batch (B*)       = C * b / (2 * W) * sparsity
- balance_context (L*)      = 2 * N_active * W / (C * kv_bpt)
- knee_batch (B_knee)       = B* / (1 - S_kv/L*)  (None past L*)
- per_token_latency_curve   = weight/B + compute + KV, per B
- bound_regime              = which term dominates now

Peak roofline convention (no compute_util factor) so weight_s ==
compute_s exactly at B*. Comm + TP/CP sharding intentionally
excluded — stage_latencies is the full latency model; this is the
back-of-envelope chip-vs-model view.

Tab shows:
- 4 KPI cards: AI, B*, L*, current regime at (B, S_kv)
- MoE hint when preset flags MoE ('300 x sparsity' rule)
- Plot 1: cost vs B at current S_kv (weight, compute floor, KV
  floor, total) with B* marker line
- Plot 2: cost curves at S_kv/L* = 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 5 — shows the
  no-knee regime past L*
- Plot 3: B_knee vs S_kv — knee slides right, diverges at L*
- Formulas + interpretation table

test_chip_roofline covers B* against H100 reference (295), sparsity
scaling, L* scaling with HBM BW, knee divergence at L*, per-token
curve monotonicity + asymptote to compute+KV floor, regime
classification. Smoke test guards the tab is wired in app.py.

"""Chip-level roofline math: AI, B*, L*, per-token latency curves.
Surfaces the arithmetic-intensity story from LLM-serving practice:
- **AI** = C / W (peak FLOPs per byte of HBM bandwidth).
- **B\*** = C * b / (2 * W) * sparsity — the critical batch size at
which weight-fetch time equals compute time for one decode step.
Sparsity = N_total / N_active (MoE factor; 1 for dense).
- **L\*** = 2 * N_active / (AI * kv_bytes_per_token) — the balance
context length at which KV-read time equals compute time.
- **B_knee(S_kv)** = B* / (1 - S_kv/L*) — the batch size where the
cost curve bends (weight-fetch drops below the compute+KV floor).
Diverges at S_kv = L* and no knee exists past it.
Per-token decode-step latency, per PE (dense-approx, no comm):
t(B, S_kv) = N_active * b / (W * B) <-- weight fetch, 1/B
+ 2 * N_active / C <-- compute (peak), flat
+ S_kv * kv_bpt / W <-- KV read, flat
All numbers per PE / per one forward pass. **Peak roofline — no
utilization factor.** Comm cost and TP/CP sharding are intentionally
NOT in the roofline — this is the back-of-envelope chip-vs-model view
the transcript talks about, not the full latency model that
stage_latencies.py builds. With this convention weight_s == compute_s
exactly at B*.
