SparseDitto: An Agentic Sparse Compilation Framework through Architecture-Aware Synthesis on GPUs

SparseDitto is an agentic sparse compilation framework that jointly synthesizes representation, execution schedule, and hardware mapping for sparse matrix computations on GPUs. It uses structural analysis, a learned template-ranking prior, and LLM-guided lowering to generate CUDA code, with target-GPU profiling refining the plan. The framework supports multiple operators such as SpMV, SpMM, and SpGEMM, adapts to different hardware, and achieves significant speedups over cuSPARSE, including up to 146.61× on certain matrices and 3.39× acceleration for full-batch GCN training.

Celty: SpMSpV GPU Kernel and SIMT Co-Design for Efficient Dual-Sparse LLM Inference

Celty introduces a co-designed sparse format, GPU kernel, and SIMT microarchitecture to efficiently handle Sparse Matrix‑Sparse Vector (SpMSpV) workloads in large language model inference. Its Run‑Length Compressed CSC (RLC‑CSC) format allows vectorized loading of compressed weight columns and skips memory accesses by exploiting both weight pruning and activation sparsity. The Celty Sparse SIMT Core adds a pipelined RLC decoder that eliminates software index reconstruction and uses local registers for conflict‑free accumulation, achieving up to 5.3× speedup over cuBLAS at 70% dual‑sparsity.

Kernel Forge: An Agent Harness for LLM-based Generation and Optimization of CUDA Kernels

arXiv:2607. 24762v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine learning models are increasingly embedded in everyday software, and most of their runtime is spent in a small set of compute kernels such as matrix multiplication, convolution, and normalization.
