CUDA-L2: Surpassing cuBLAS Performance for Matrix Multiplication through Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2512. 02551v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this paper, we propose CUDA-L2, a system that combines large language models (LLMs) and reinforcement learning (RL) to automatically optimize Half-precision General Matrix Multiply (HGEMM) CUDA kernels.

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.

Multi-turn RL with Structural and Performance Aware Rewards for CUDA Kernel Generation

Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has emerged as a powerful technique to enhance the reasoning capacity of LLMs for optimized code generation. However, existing RLVR approaches primarily rely on outcome-based signals such as correctness and speedup, overlooking performance-critical structural properties of programs that are essential for generating optimized code.

Optimizing CUDA like a Human: Micro-Profiling Tools as Expert Surrogates for LLM-Based GPU Kernel Optimization

arXiv:2606. 26453v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present KernelPro, a closed-loop multi-agent system that automatically generates, profiles, and iteratively optimizes GPU kernel code by integrating large language model (LLM) code generation with hardware profiler feedback and pluggable bottleneck detection tools.

DCC: Data-Centric Compilation of Machine Learning Kernels for Processing-In-Memory Architectures

arXiv:2511. 15503v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: High-performance Host processors can integrate Processing-In-Memory (PIM) devices, which can accelerate memory-intensive kernels of Machine Learning (ML) models, including Large Language Models (LLMs), by leveraging the large memory bandwidth available at PIM cores.

BluTrain: A C++/CUDA Framework for AI Systems

arXiv:2606. 24780v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Progress in deep learning is, at scale, more a matter of systems engineering than of modelling: the behaviour of a model in training (its throughput, its memory footprint, and the numerical fidelity of the result) is determined less by the architecture itself than by how that architecture is expressed on the hardware.
