MaxKernel: Agentic Kernel Generation for TPUs

MaxKernel is a multi‑agent system designed to generate high‑performance custom kernels for TPUs. It offers three paradigms: a Human‑in‑the‑Loop agent for collaborative design, an Autonomous agent that runs a fully automated optimization loop, and a Graph‑Based Autonomous Search for global exploration. All paradigms share specialized sub‑agents for planning, implementation, debugging, testing, and profiling, and the system consistently matches expert hand‑tuned baselines on the JaxBench suite and real‑world workloads.

Exploring the Role of LLMs in HPC Programming: A Survey

The survey reviews how Large Language Models (LLMs) are being used in High‑Performance Computing (HPC) programming, covering code generation, parallelization, frameworks, evaluation, and broader challenges. It finds that general‑purpose LLMs perform adequately on serial and OpenMP‑style tasks but struggle with distributed MPI workloads, while domain‑specialized models achieve higher accuracy yet are limited in scope and evaluation. The authors argue that LLMs will not replace HPC experts soon but can act as powerful collaborators, provided richer datasets, integration with performance tools, rigorous evaluation, and governance are developed.
