Reference Kernels

This repo holds reference kernels for the KernelBot which hosts regular competitions on discord.gg/gpumode.

You can see what's going on gpumode.com

Competitions

1. PMPP practice problems
2. AMD $100K kernel competition
3. BioML kernels
4. AMD $100K distributed kernel competition
5. NVIDIA Blackwell NVFP4 competition
6. AMD $1.1M competition
7. Helion IRL hackathon

We also work with universities on hosting the infrastructure for their classes:

• Stanford CS149 assignment 5 kernels
• Tri Dao's Princeton parallel programming class

Contributing New Problems

To add a new problem, create a new folder in the problems/glory directory where you need to add the following files:

• reference.py - This is the PyTorch reference implementation of the problem.
• task.yml - This is the problem specification that will be used to generate test cases for different shapes
• task.py - Specifies the schema of the inputs and outputs for the problem

You can evaluate problems with your own Modal account (they give you a free $30) by borrowing this neat script from @gau-nernst
