Research direction
Start with the SM90 MMA implementation and trace how its prologue and mainloop invoke cute::gemm. Compare the responsibilities and execution order of both entry points, then document the intended benefit, including whether and how work overlaps. Done means the explanation answers why GEMM appears in the prologue and clarifies the overlap model.
