Standalone guide to optimizing AIE / Peano-compiled kernels (INT8 conv, matmul, attention, elementwise). Covers the measure-first methodology (baseline, bit-exact gate, ablation, verify-in-.o) AND the catalog of concrete levers in priority order — loop hints, compile-time constants, killing __divsi3, branch-splitting, vectorized epilogue, operand-layout pre-pack, explicit wide packing, wider mmul, DMA layout offload — each with the constraints to respect and a measured delta.
