Description
Some kernels have been observed to use blockIdx.x while others use the templated blocksize. We should do a pass to ensure consistency and consider different "tuning" versions if we want to consider different options.

Research direction
Inspect the GPU kernels to identify where blockIdx.x and the templated blocksize are used inconsistently. Determine the intended consistent approach, including whether separate tuning variants are needed, then validate that the affected kernels retain correct behavior and performance.
