Don't Regenerate, Debug: A Domain-Specific Agent for Repairing Near-Miss Hardware Operators

arXiv:2608. 02712v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Kernel generation for hardware accelerators such as GPUs and NPUs has become a proving ground for large language models (LLMs), and state-of-the-art systems raise correctness through pipelines that couple LLMs with agentic reinforcement learning and evolutionary search.

Protean Compiler: An Agile Framework to Drive Fine-grain Phase Ordering

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.
