UnverifiedThe main drawbacks of specialized GPU kernels include: the need to regenerate and validate kernels with every model architecture change or hardware upgrade, complex optimizations that can lead to compilation times ranging from several minutes to several hours, and kernels optimized for specific batch sizes that may perform poorly at other batch sizes.76% similarVerifiedIn high cache-hit-rate scenarios, blindly adding GPUs may yield little benefit; the bandwidth bottleneck should be identified before optimization.75% similarUnverifiedThe report documents an optimization the team tried and abandoned: overlapping communication with computation slows the overlapped kernels by more than the overhead it hides, because the two compete for the same batch of GPU resources.73% similarUnverifiedVRAM offloading refers to transferring weights or activations that are temporarily not involved in computation from GPU VRAM to system memory or disk during inference, at the cost of latency incurred when moving them back to the GPU, which results in reduced inference speed.72% similar
