During March 2025, Flam developed high-performance half-precision GEMM kernels for the ignaciosica/tinygrad repository, focusing on optimizing matrix multiplication on NVIDIA GPUs. Leveraging C++, CUDA, and low-level assembly (CUDA PTX), Flam implemented custom CUDA kernels that use 2-stage and 3-stage pipelines, swizzled memory access patterns, and direct accumulator-to-output writes. This approach maximized throughput and energy efficiency for FP16 matrix multiplication workloads, addressing the need for faster inference and training in deep learning applications. The work demonstrated depth in GPU optimization and low-level performance tuning, laying a robust foundation for improved cost-per-operation in future TinyGrad deployments.

March 2025 performance-focused update for ignaciosica/tinygrad. Implemented High-Performance Half-Precision GEMM Kernels using custom CUDA kernels for FP16 matrix multiplication on NVIDIA GPUs. The work features multi-stage pipelines (2-stage and 3-stage), swizzled memory access patterns, and direct accumulator-to-output writes to maximize throughput and energy efficiency for matrix multiply workloads. This foundational optimization sets the stage for faster inference and training with TinyGrad on modern GPUs and supports stronger cost-per-operation improvements in DL workloads.
