Overview
Our journey starts with kernels, low-level code that execute computations on hardware accelerators like GPUs and TPUs. Kernels power all modern AI workloads by efficiently running operations such as matrix multiplications (matmuls), convolutions, and attention mechanisms. Well-optimized kernels are critical to unlocking the full potential of hardware, yet currently kernel development is a long, tedious cycle of profiling, tuning, and low-level optimization that demands deep expertise.
