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.

The paper introduces kernel‑managed shared memory, a system‑level abstraction that lets specialized agents write structured, tagged memories while the agent‑system kernel controls retrieval, privacy, and prompt injection. Implemented on AIOS, this design outperforms unmanaged external memory, standard retrieval‑augmented injection, and full context concatenation across GPT‑4o, Llama‑3.1:8B, and Qwen‑2.5:7B, improving personalization scores by 2.4‑4.0 points on a 5‑point scale and reducing latency and token usage by 15‑61%. The results show that centralizing memory management in the kernel delivers most personalization benefits at a fraction of the cost.

KernelFoundry is a hardware‑aware evolutionary framework that optimizes GPU kernels by combining MAP‑Elites quality‑diversity search, meta‑prompt evolution, and template‑based parameter tuning. It generates SYCL and CUDA kernels, outperforming baseline methods with an average 2.3× speedup on KernelBench. The system is distributed, supports remote hardware access, and offers a flexible user interface for diverse real‑world kernel generation tasks.
