it looks like a cool optimization but I'd like to understand the underlying principle. Just a comment

Sure, I've added some more colour to what is happening in this optimization to the PR summary and put some more explanation in the comments to what is going on at each stage. Instead of a thread processing a whole leaf node's stats, we map a 32-thread warp to each leaf node. This cooperative reduction lets us increase occupancy and coalesce memory reads done by the warp (instead of each thread in a warp reading stats from different nodes). The core inspiration was chapter 10 from the Programming Massively Parallel Processors book.
