AI as a Compiler: Compiling Triton kernels without the Triton compiler

The paper explores using large language models (LLMs) to replace traditional compiler backends, a process termed AI lowering. An LLM agent translates Triton kernels directly into NVIDIA PTX, achieving 0.83x–3.34x the performance of autotuned Triton on a variety of GPUs and ML kernels. The study also extends a PTX verifier to support modern GPU features, highlighting the potential for AI compilers to reduce engineering effort for new hardware.

FluxBin: Flexible LUT-based Ultra-low-bit LLM Inference by Algorithm-Kernel Synergy

arXiv:2608. 15602v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While binary quantization theoretically promises extreme compression and acceleration for Large Language Models (LLMs), existing research often overlooks the necessity of specialized hardware kernels, thus failing to unleash the full acceleration potential due to persistent reliance on expensive floating-point arithmetic or runtime dequantization overheads.
