Kernels hand-written for a given generation of GPU architecture generally cannot run directly on the previous generation architecture, and porting requires rewriting the low-level kernels.

UnverifiedCustom kernels are usually hand-optimized for specific GPU architectures and can bring significant speedups, but they make methods difficult to migrate across hardware, raise the barrier to reproduction, and make it hard to separate performance gains from algorithmic contributions.75% similarUnverifiedIn the context of GPU programming, "kernel" specifically refers to the function unit executed in parallel on a GPU, and the forward inference of a deep learning model is often composed of dozens to hundreds of kernels chained together72% similarUnverifiedWith a general-purpose Helion kernel, adding support for a new quantization format only requires modifying the high-level descriptive logic rather than writing and validating a new low-level kernel from scratch.69% similar
