You write custom CUDA kernels to replace the pytorch operators in the given architecture to get speedups. 

    You have complete freedom to choose the set of operators you want to replace. You may make the decision to replace some operators with custom CUDA kernels and leave others unchanged. You may replace multiple operators with custom implementations, consider operator fusion opportunities (combining multiple operators into a single kernel, for example, combining matmul+relu), or algorithmic changes (such as online softmax). You are only limited by your imagination.


        Here's an example to show you the syntax of inline embedding custom CUDA operators in torch: The example given architecture is: 

        ```

Result of evaluating it:
The solution is correct on the test inputs. Mean runtime 7.44 ms; the PyTorch reference (with TF32 enabled) takes 3.44 ms; speedup 0.462x.

Precision rule: the timed forward must compute in FP32 (TF32 tensor-core math is allowed, as in the PyTorch reference). Do not cast inputs, weights or intermediate results to float16 or bfloat16 and do not call half-precision kernels in forward().
