DanLing NestedTensor is a PyTorch tensor abstraction that embeds multi‑ragged structure directly into the tensor, allowing packed values to carry partition information and logical dimension order. This design enables broadcasting, feature transformations, and reductions to automatically respect ragged axes while preserving the same representation through autograd and both eager and compiled execution. Benchmarks on an A100 show significant speedups—up to 3.39× over padding for BERT models and 2.40–4.32× for a Pairformer‑style workload—while dramatically reducing peak memory usage.

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.

arXiv:2602. 06142v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The phase ordering problem has been a long-standing challenge since the late 1970s, yet it remains an open problem due to having a vast optimization space and an unbounded nature, making it an open-ended problem without a finite solution, one can limit the scope by reducing the number and the length of optimizations.

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.
