Together AI has released Parallel Kernel Builder (PKB), an open-source tool designed to optimize inference performance for large language models. PKB can identify and generate novel kernels, such as those for NeMo vocab-parallel log-probs and Hyena context parallelism, which are not publicly documented. The tool has demonstrated significant speedups, with one kernel achieving 87.9µs compared to the standard 320.6µs for NCCL, and the project encourages community contributions. AI
IMPACT Optimizes LLM inference performance, potentially leading to faster and more efficient AI deployments.
