New Waypoint model optimizes GEMM for faster LLM inference on CPUs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed Waypoint, an analytical model designed to optimize the performance of General Matrix Multiplication (GEMM) on CPUs. By considering architectural factors like memory hierarchy and multi-threading, Waypoint identifies optimal tile sizes for GEMM operations. This model has been integrated into the OPAM GEMM library, which demonstrates performance comparable to existing libraries and offers significant speedups, ranging from 1.36x to 1.98x, for accelerating Large Language Model (LLM) inference on CPUs.
