## 📖 Introduction

Welcome to **Awesome LLM Kernel Agent** – a comprehensive collection of cutting-edge research on using Large Language Models (LLMs) for GPU kernel generation and optimization. This repository tracks the rapidly evolving field where AI meets high-performance computing.

### 🎯 What is LLM-Based Kernel Generation?

GPU kernel programming (CUDA, Triton, HIP, etc.) requires deep expertise in parallel computing, memory hierarchies, and hardware architectures. Recent advances in LLMs have opened new possibilities for **automating kernel development** through:

- 🤖 **Agentic Systems**: Multi-agent frameworks that iteratively design, optimize, and verify kernels
- 🎓 **Reinforcement Learning**: Training models to discover optimal kernel implementations
- 🔧 **Fine-tuning**: Specialized models trained on kernel code datasets
- 🔄 **Iterative Optimization**: Feedback-driven refinement using profiling and benchmarking

### 👥 Who Should Use This?

- **Researchers** exploring AI for systems and HPC
- **ML Engineers** optimizing deep learning workloads
- **GPU Developers** interested in automated kernel generation
- **Students** learning about the intersection of AI and computer architecture

### 📊 Repository Statistics

- **Total Papers**: 110+
- **Latest Addition**: August 2026
- **Coverage**: CUDA, Triton, HIP, Metal, NPU, TPU
- **Approaches**: Agent-based, RL, Fine-tuning, RAG, Prompt Engineering

## 🗺️ Landscape Map

GitHub **natively renders Mermaid** in README files. The landscape is maintained in [`llm_kernel_agent_landscape/`](llm_kernel_agent_landscape/): **edit YAML → generate Mermaid → sync to README**.

```bash
cd llm_kernel_agent_landscape && make all   # validate + render + sync README
```
