Researchers have developed AutoMegaKernel (AMK), a system that compiles Llama-family models into a single, cooperative CUDA kernel for efficient forward passes. AMK includes a validator to statically certify deadlock and race freedom in proposed schedules, rejecting unsafe ones before execution. The system supports retargeting across different NVIDIA GPUs and has demonstrated competitive performance, with an int8 megakernel outperforming cuBLAS bf16 at batch-1 decode on certain datacenter GPUs.
