Compiler-Grounded Hierarchical Diagnosis for LLM-Based Triton Kernel Optimization
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have enabled automated kernel generation and optimization, but most existing approaches rely on surface signals such as compilation feedback and profiling metrics. These signals reveal that a kernel is slow, but not why the backend compiler fails to realize a profitable optimization, especially on emerging accelerators such as NPUs. We therefore formulate kernel optimization as a progressive cross-layer diagnosis problem that links runtime symptoms to IR structure and compiler behavior before rewriting source. Based on this insight, we present our system, a compiler-grounded and hierarchical optimization framework for Triton kernels. the sys...
