LLM framework automates GPU kernel generation, outperforming PyTorch

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed CuTeGen, a new framework designed to automate the creation and optimization of high-performance GPU kernels. This agentic system employs a structured workflow of generating, testing, and refining kernels, specifically targeting the CuTe abstraction layer. By delaying low-level performance feedback until the kernel's high-level structure is stable, CuTeGen aims to overcome the limitations of previous LLM-based approaches. On the KernelBench benchmark, CuTeGen demonstrated an average speedup of 1.71x over PyTorch and surpassed a prior agentic baseline. AI

IMPACT Automates complex GPU kernel development, potentially accelerating ML system performance and reducing reliance on expert programmers.

    CuTeGen: An LLM-Based Agentic Framework for Generation and Optimization of High-Performance GPU Kernels using CuTe

    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. Recent work has explored using LLMs to automate kernel generation, but generated kernels …
