Compiling models to megakernels
blog.luminal.comThere are only 4 optimizations in computer science: inlining, partial evaluation, dead code elimination, & caching. It looks like AI researchers just discovered inlining & they already knew about caching so eventually they'll get to partial evaluation & dead code elimination.
Dead code elimination is already a technique in AI when someone takes an MoE model and removes an unused "E" from it.
AI actually has some optimizations unique to the field. You can in fact optimize a model to make it work; not a lot of other disciplines put as much emphasis on this as AI
Can you list these optimizations?
RLHF is one that comes to mind
