- * @name STORE_BLOCK_BOUNDARY_AWARE
- * This macro assumes the following schemes to achieve boundary-awareness:
- *  - Overlapping load in Y axis from lhs tensor. This implies lhs has no padding along y dim.
- *  - Non-Overlapping(normal) load from rhs tensor. This imples rhs can have paddings.
- *  - Overlapping load in Y axis from bias tensor. This implies rhs has no padding along y dim.
- * The macro then ensures that the dst tensor can be stored without any paddings in both x and y dim.
- *
- * In the y dimension, we place the partial blocks **at the beginning** while in the x dimension, we place the partial
- * blocks **at the end**.
- * Say, the dst tensor is of shape MxN and we have M0 and N0 as the block size, this is how we define "partial blocks"/
- * "boundary block" (we use the 2 terms "partial blocks" and "boundary blocks" interchangeably) and its various parameters:

+/** Boundary-aware GEMM block store
+ * @name STORE_BLOCK_BOUNDARY_AWARE
+ * This macro assumes the following schemes to achieve boundary-awareness:
+ *  - Overlapping load in Y axis from lhs tensor. This implies lhs has no padding along y dim.
+ *  - Non-Overlapping(normal) load from rhs tensor. This imples rhs can have paddings.
+ *  - Overlapping load in Y axis from bias tensor. This implies rhs has no padding along y dim.
+ * The macro then ensures that the dst tensor can be stored without any paddings in both x and y dim.
+ *
+ * In the y dimension, we place the partial blocks **at the beginning** while in the x dimension, we place the partial
+ * blocks **at the end**.
+ * Say, the dst tensor is of shape MxN and we have M0 and N0 as the block size, this is how we define "partial blocks"/
+ * "boundary block" (we use the 2 terms "partial blocks" and "boundary blocks" interchangeably) and its various parameters:
+ *
+ *  *--x-->                         x == 0                        x == 1

+ * It automatically detects if a giving M,N,M0,N0 combination can yield partial blocks in either X and Y dimension,
+ * and select corresponding store methods such that the boundary detection logic is only added when needed.
