AsmEvo: Agentic Assembly-Level Optimization of AMD GPU Kernels with Functional Equivalence Verification

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

AsmEvo is an agentic assembly-level optimizer that targets compiled AMDGPU code objects, reconstructing a reassemblable representation and applying low-level edits guided by a long-horizon agent. It rebuilds ABI-preserving optimized objects and verifies functional equivalence through differential testing against the original binary. Experiments show significant speedups—up to 1.35× geometric mean on MI308X and 1.18× on MI300X—while maintaining correctness.

KernelGenBench: Can LLMs and Agents Write Efficient Kernels Across Operator Sources and Hardware Platforms?

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.

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.
