+# permute
+
+This folder contains example for permute kernel, which is similiar to [torch.permute](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.permute.html) (combined with [torch.contiguous](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.Tensor.contiguous.html)). Currently we implement a generic permute kernel that support up to rank 8 arbitrary permutation with a single kernel instance. Performance is not the first consideration, we prefer a simple and general kernel implementation using `ck_tile` in this example.

+```
+args:
+          -v    weather do CPU validation or not (default:1)
+       -prec    data type. fp16/bf16/fp32 (default:fp16)
+      -shape    the shape of the input tensor (default:2,3,4)
+       -perm    permute perm (default:2,1,0)
+```
+
+## build
+```
+# in the root of ck_tile
+mkdir build && cd build
+sh ../script/cmake-ck-dev.sh  ../ <arch>  # you can replace this <arch> to gfx90a, gfx942...
+make tile_example_permute -j
+```
+This will result in an executable `build/bin/tile_example_permute`
+
+
+## some examples
+```
+# torch
+x=torch.randn(2,3,4,6)
+y=x.permute(0,3,2,1).contiguous()
+
+# ck_tile
+./build/bin/tile_example_permute -shape=2,3,4,6 -perm=0,3,2,1
+```
+
+or you can try the smoke_test
+```
+# in the root of ck_tile, after you build this example
+sh example/ck_tile/06_permute/script/smoke_test.sh
+```
+
+### alternative implementation
+we have an alternative implementation under `alternative_impl/` folder, that can swizzle the tensor to be more friendly for data loading for matrix core layout. This can be enabled when dealing with a `rank-7` tensor, with a fixed pattern of either `0,1,4,2,5,3,6` or `0,1,2,4,5,3,6`. There are other shape limitation of this implementation, check the source code of `permute.cpp` for detail.
+```
+# example
+./build/bin/tile_example_permute -shape=3,6,4,32,16,2,8 -perm=0,1,4,2,5,3,6 # b_n0_k0_n1_k1_n2_k2
+./build/bin/tile_example_permute -shape=3,8,4,16,16,4,8 -perm=0,1,2,4,5,3,6 # b_n0_n1_k0_k1_n2_k2
+```
