<ul data-eligibleForWebStory="true">Large Language Models (LLMs) are being utilized for efficient CUDA kernel generation for GPUs.The challenge lies in creating deeply hardware-specific, performance-critical code for massively parallel GPUs.A novel framework called Feature Search and Reinforcement (FSR) is introduced for CUDA program optimization.FSR optimizes compilation, functional correctness, and runtime performance of CUDA programs.The framework is validated through extensive test cases and actual GPU kernel execution latency measurements.LLMs using FSR can generate syntactically and semantically correct CUDA code while refining it for efficiency.Evaluation of FSR on various CUDA kernels shows correctness rates and significantly improved execution speeds.Automatically generated kernels outperform human-written code by up to 179 times in execution speeds.The results indicate the potential of combining LLMs with performance reinforcement for GPU programming.LLMs empowered with FSR can streamline GPU programming for architecture-aware and performance-sensitive applications.
