Triton auto-tunes BLOCK_SIZE for hardware efficiency, optimizing memory access patterns and computational throughput
kernel fusion reduces memory bandwidth bottleneck
Kernel fusion reduces memory bandwidth bottleneck by combining multiple operations into a single kernel, minimizing data transfers
Matrix multiplication algorithm
Tiling divides matrices into smaller blocks, loading them into shared memory for efficient matrix multiplication
Flashbulb memory
Flashbulb memories are vivid but not always accurate
fused kernels do
Fused kernels combine multiple operations into one kernel to avoid memory round-trips
BLOCK_SIZE means in Triton: the tile size each program instance processes
BLOCK_SIZE in Triton refers to the size of the data chunk processed by each program instance
Triton differs from CUDA
Triton uses block-level programming, while CUDA uses thread-level programming
