arXiv:2601. 15727v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The performance of modern AI systems is fundamentally constrained by the quality of their underlying GPU kernels, which translate high-level algorithmic semantics into low-level hardware operations.
arXiv:2606. 26758v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-performance GPU kernels are critical for reducing the exponentially growing computational costs of large language models (LLMs), but their development heavily relies on manual tuning by domain experts.
MaxKernel is a multi‑agent system designed to generate high‑performance custom kernels for TPUs. It offers three paradigms: a Human‑in‑the‑Loop agent for collaborative design, an Autonomous agent that runs a fully automated optimization loop, and a Graph‑Based Autonomous Search for global exploration. All paradigms share specialized sub‑agents for planning, implementation, debugging, testing, and profiling, and the system consistently matches expert hand‑tuned baselines on the JaxBench suite and real‑world workloads.

KernelFoundry is a hardware‑aware evolutionary framework that optimizes GPU kernels by combining MAP‑Elites quality‑diversity search, meta‑prompt evolution, and template‑based parameter tuning. It generates SYCL and CUDA kernels, outperforming baseline methods with an average 2.3× speedup on KernelBench. The system is distributed, supports remote hardware access, and offers a flexible user interface for diverse real‑world kernel generation tasks.
arXiv:2607. 14541v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing GPU kernel generation benchmarks draw problems from synthetic or curated sources that diverge from deployed workloads.
Large language models (LLMs) can assist GPU kernel generation, but their practical effectiveness depends on whether generated code can be reliably constrained, validated, profiled, and selected. This paper presents a harness-centered system for LLM-driven GPU kernel optimization in the MLSys 2026 FlashInfer AI Kernel Generation Contest on NVIDIA Blackwell B200 GPUs.
