Title: Improving Efficiency of GPU Kernel Optimization Agents using a Domain-Specific Language and Speed-of-Light Guidance

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.29010v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Optimizing GPU kernels with LLM agents is an iterative process over a large design space. Every candidate must be generated, compiled, validated, and profiled, so fewer trials will save both runtime and cost. We make two key observations. First, the abstraction level that agents operate at is important. If it is too low, the LLM wastes reasoning on low-impact details. If it is too high, it may miss important optimization choices. Second, agents c
