Curated high-performance TIRx GPU kernels, with support for tirx-harness.

Native kernels are grouped by workload under tirx_kernels/<workload>/. External ports live under tirx_kernels/ported/<upstream>/, with subpackages for upstream entry points. Unless annotated, a kernel runs on sm_100a, sm_103a and sm_107a, and its performance was measured and tuned on sm_100a; every listed architecture is gated by the registry correctness tests. Annotations mark the exceptions: ⟨sm_103a⟩ runs only on that architecture and was tuned there, and ⟨+sm_110a⟩ runs on that architecture in addition to the default three. Annotations follow KERNEL_META["runtime_cuda_archs"] and tests/lint/check_readme_kernels.py keeps them in sync.

Per-workload numbers — our kernel time, every reference impl, and the ref/ours ratio (>1 means ours is faster) — are pinned in tirx_kernels/bench_suite/baseline.md, regenerated on every baseline promotion. See the bench-suite README for how the sweep runs and how to refresh the baseline.

pip install tirx-kernels
# or, from a checkout:
pip install -e .

The kcoral client for remote benchmarking is installed automatically.

Correctness uses the original upstream implementations. Install the exact, mutually compatible revisions from the repository lock:

python scripts/install_reference_dependencies.py

reference-dependencies.json is the single source of truth for reference revisions and the shared CUTLASS DSL version. The same command installs the pinned pytest/xdist runner. torch and tvm.tirx remain externally managed runtime/compiler dependencies.

Correctness tests import and run these upstream implementations. The bench suite does not launch or time benchmark reference implementations by default (kernel data-preparation helpers may still import their upstream package). Pass --with-references to enable reference launches; a missing enabled reference fails its workload. See tirx_kernels/bench_suite/README.md for the prerequisites and workarounds.

# List discovered kernels (with their config labels)

Every kernel module exposes a small, uniform interface (see tirx_kernels/_protocol.py):

from tirx_kernels.registry import discover_kernels

kernels = discover_kernels()          # {name: module}
mod = kernels["fp16_bf16_gemm"]

mod.run_test(M=1024, N=1024, K=1024)  # compile + run + correctness check
mod.run_bench(M=1024, N=1024, K=1024) # profile (needs a GPU)

func = mod.get_kernel(M=1024, N=1024, K=1024)  # the TIRx PrimFunc

A native module uses its workload as KERNEL_META["category"] (e.g. kda); a port uses ported.<upstream> (e.g. ported.flashinfer). Registry category filters use those same names. CLI kernel names are independent of module paths.

Each module also provides KERNEL_META: its name, category, exact runtime_cuda_archs, and optional correctness-only reference_requirements. The registry and test harness reject unsupported architectures before compile, and skip correctness before GPU work when a declared reference package, version, or Git source identity is unavailable. CONFIGS contains the test parameter sweep.
