Documents ENABLE_TILE=0 vs ENABLE_TILE=1 and the TileIR compilation pipeline available via nvtriton on B200 instances. Covers how to enable TileIR with Helion (ENABLE_TILE=1 + HELION_BACKEND=tileir), the different tunables (num_ctas/occupancy vs num_warps/maxnreg), and how to hardcode TileIR configs in submissions.

Group both sections under a single "Optional: Extra Performance Knobs" heading to emphasize neither is required. Streamline both into step 1 (autotune) / step 2 (hardcode) format. Add a "Which combination" section showing all 4 options to try. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Remove duplicate bash export block — the Python os.environ in the code example is sufficient for both local autotuning and submissions. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
