Optimizing CUDA code across multiple generations of GPU architectures is challenging, as achieving peak performance requires an extensive exploration of an increasingly complex, hardware-specific optimization space. Traditional compilers…

In high-performance computing, hotspot GPU kernels are primary bottlenecks, and expert manual tuning is costly and hard to port. Large language model methods often assume kernels can be compiled and executed cheaply, which fails in large…

Developing high-performance GPU kernels is critical for AI and scientific computing, but remains challenging due to its reliance on expert crafting and poor portability. While LLMs offer promise for automation, both general-purpose and…

LLM-based agents are increasingly used to generate GPU kernels, but they often know what optimizations to try without knowing when those optimizations are sound. We introduce KLineage, which learns this missing "when" knowledge from expert…

Kernel methods provide an elegant and principled approach to nonparametric learning, but so far could hardly be used in large scale problems, since na\"ive implementations scale poorly with data size. Recent advances have shown the benefits…

Writing GPU kernels is a challenging task and critical for AI systems' efficiency. It is also highly iterative: domain experts write code and improve performance through execution feedback. Moreover, it presents verifiable rewards like…

Optimizing GPU kernels manually is a challenging and time-consuming task. With the rapid development of LLMs, automated GPU kernel optimization is gradually becoming a tangible reality. However, current LLM-driven automated optimization…

Parallel accelerators, such as GPUs, are key enablers for large-scale Machine Learning (ML) applications. However, ML model developers often lack detailed knowledge of the underlying system architectures, while system programmers usually do…

A long-standing goal in both industry and academia is to develop an LLM inference platform that is portable across hardware architectures, eliminates the need for low-level hand-tuning, and still delivers best-in-class efficiency. In this…

GPU code optimization is a key performance bottleneck for HPC workloads as well as large-model training and inference. Although compiler optimizations and hand-written kernels can partially alleviate this issue, achieving…

Triton, a high-level Python-like language designed for building efficient GPU kernels, is widely adopted in deep learning frameworks due to its portability, flexibility, and accessibility. However, programming and parallel optimization…

Understanding the relationship between training data and model behavior during pretraining is crucial, but existing workflows make this process cumbersome, fragmented, and often inaccessible to researchers. We present TokenSmith, an…

Optimizing GPU kernels with LLM agents is an iterative process over a large design space. Every candidate must be generated, compiled, validated, and profiled, so fewer trials will save both runtime and cost. We make two key observations.…

LLM-based Triton kernel generation has attracted significant interest, yet a fundamental empirical question remains unanswered: where does this capability break down, and why? We present KernelBenchX, a benchmark designed to answer this…

Evolutionary prompt optimization has demonstrated effectiveness in refining prompts for LLMs. However, existing approaches lack robust operators and efficient evaluation mechanisms. In this work, we propose several key improvements to…

In order to fully utilize "big data", it is often required to use "big models". Such models tend to grow with the complexity and size of the training data, and do not make strong parametric assumptions upfront on the nature of the…

High-performance GPU kernels are essential for efficient LLM deployment, yet optimizing them remains expertise-intensive. Recent LLM-based code generation makes automatic GPU operator generation promising, but operator optimization remains…

Modern machine learning models are typically trained using Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) on massively parallel computing resources such as GPUs. Increasing mini-batch size is a simple and direct way to utilize the parallel computing…

General matrix multiplication (GEMM) operations are the fundamental building blocks of computational domains including artificial intelligence (AI). As GPU architectures evolve and high-performance AI becomes increasingly important,…

Iterative GPU kernel tuning is bottlenecked by the scale of the applications that host the kernels. Rapid iteration requires isolating the kernel so it can be edited, recompiled, and validated without rebuilding the full application -- but…
