AI Kernel Generation: What's working, what's not, what's next – Natalie Serrino, Gimlet Labs
This talk explores the use of AI for generating and optimizing low-level computational kernels, which are crucial for the performance of complex AI workloads. The core idea is to leverage AI to automatically port and optimize these kernels for diverse hardware, addressing the scarcity of human experts in this specialized field. While AI shows promise in tasks like kernel fusion and translating optimizations, it's not a replacement for human expertise in highly complex algorithmic advancements.
