arXiv:2607. 20466v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Rigorous benchmarks have driven progress in autonomous GPU kernel performance optimization by establishing a shared target to hillclimb on, but no equivalent exists for TPUs.
arXiv:2605. 25645v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present the first end-to-end demonstration of fine-tuning and serving Google's Gemma 4 31B model on TPU hardware, providing an empirical comparison of TPU and GPU platforms for large language model adaptation.
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.
arXiv:2607. 20518v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents are now capable of writing, compiling, and iteratively optimizing low-level operator kernels on different hardware platforms.
KernelGenBench is a unified benchmark that evaluates large language models and agentic systems for generating efficient Triton kernels across diverse operator sources and hardware platforms. It covers 210 operators from PyTorch ATen, vLLM, and cuBLAS, and tests a 110‑operator subset on six different chips, consuming over 15 billion tokens in evaluation. The study finds that no single method dominates across all sources and platforms, with significant variations in correctness and performance depending on the operator source and hardware, and that agentic approaches require millions of tokens per successful operator.
arXiv:2608. 00029v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The performance of deep learning models at scale relies heavily on how effectively high-level mathematical operations are mapped to underlying physical hardware.
