arXiv:2608. 12004v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In modern AI frameworks, GPU kernels are key to overall system performance.
arXiv:2604. 01489v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: High-performance GPU kernels are critical to modern machine learning systems, yet developing them remains a manual, expert-driven process.
arXiv:2601. 15727v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The performance of modern AI systems is fundamentally constrained by the quality of their underlying GPU kernels, which translate high-level algorithmic semantics into low-level hardware operations.
Large language models (LLMs) can assist GPU kernel generation, but their practical effectiveness depends on whether generated code can be reliably constrained, validated, profiled, and selected. This paper presents a harness-centered system for LLM-driven GPU kernel optimization in the MLSys 2026 FlashInfer AI Kernel Generation Contest on NVIDIA Blackwell B200 GPUs.
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.
