Exploring the Role of LLMs in HPC Programming: A Survey

The survey reviews how Large Language Models (LLMs) are being used in High‑Performance Computing (HPC) programming, covering code generation, parallelization, frameworks, evaluation, and broader challenges. It finds that general‑purpose LLMs perform adequately on serial and OpenMP‑style tasks but struggle with distributed MPI workloads, while domain‑specialized models achieve higher accuracy yet are limited in scope and evaluation. The authors argue that LLMs will not replace HPC experts soon but can act as powerful collaborators, provided richer datasets, integration with performance tools, rigorous evaluation, and governance are developed.

Performance, Efficiency and Collapse -- Advantages and Challenges in Offline Post-training of Code LLMs

The paper investigates whether reinforcement‑learning post‑training of code‑generating large language models can be done entirely offline using existing datasets, avoiding costly online code generation and GPU‑CPU communication. Experiments show that a few hours of offline RL can substantially boost zero‑shot code generation performance across models from 0.5 B to 7 B parameters, though the magnitude of improvement differs by model family.
