Cool project! How do you think about targeting hardware-specific ISAs directly? There’s an interesting paper from Citadel (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.06826) that highlights inefficiencies in nvcc for the Volta architecture. Do you see Luminal’s search-based paradigm eventually extending beyond outperforming handwritten kernels, towards actually competing with NVIDIA’s compiler optimizations at the PTX level?
