KernelArc is a multi-agent framework designed to autonomously optimize GPU kernels across diverse workloads. It employs strategy-specialized agents that run concurrently, coordinating via conclusions-only shared memory, a deterministic benchmark guard, and read-only cross-agent state with plateau-triggered drafting. Evaluated on NVIDIA H100 and B200 GPUs with SOL-ExecBench workloads, KernelArc produced top-ranked implementations for tasks such as BF16 GEMM, cuBLASLt configuration tables, and various attention mechanisms, achieving first place on several leaderboard categories.

KernelOPT is a multi‑agent system that optimizes GPU kernels generated by compilers like PyTorch Inductor by treating compiled models as structured artifacts. It preserves vendor library calls and focuses on Triton sub‑kernels, using five profiling‑guided LLM agents and a four‑gate verification cascade to ensure correctness and performance before re‑stitching the model. On 250 KernelBench problems, KernelOPT achieves geometric mean speedups of 1.40×, 1.15×, and 1.07× over torch.compile at three optimization levels.

arXiv:2604. 01489v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: High-performance GPU kernels are critical to modern machine learning systems, yet developing them remains a manual, expert-driven process.
KernelOPT is a multi-agent system that optimizes GPU kernels generated by compilers like PyTorch Inductor by treating compiled models as structured artifacts. It preserves vendor library calls and focuses on Triton sub-kernels, using five profiling-guided LLM agents and a four-gate verification cascade to filter and validate candidates. On 250 KernelBench problems, KernelOPT achieves geometric mean speedups of 1.40×, 1.15×, and 1.07× over torch.compile at different optimization levels.
