/**
* Flash Attention Implementation for RuVector Intelligence System
*
* Implements block-wise attention computation for faster similarity calculations.
* Achieves O(N) memory instead of O(N^2) through tiling strategy.
*
* Key optimizations:
* - Block-wise computation to fit in L1 cache
* - Fused softmax-matmul operations
* - Float32Array for all operations
* - Online softmax for numerical stability
*
* Target: 2-5x speedup on CPU vs naive attention
*
* Created with love by ruv.io
