Summary
A compiler has been developed to transform LLM inference into a single megakernel, reducing latency significantly. The compiler fuses GPU kernel launches and communication into one launch, improving hardware utilization. It is easy to use with just a few lines of Python.

You can compile your LLM into a high-performance megakernel with just a few dozen lines of Python.
This end-to-end GPU fusion approach reduces LLM inference latency by 1.2-6.7x.
TL;DR: We developed a compiler that automatically transforms LLM inference into a single megakernel — a fused GPU kernel that performs all necessary computation and communication in one launch. This…
