# Skill: kernel-optimization

# Kernel Optimization

Unified reference for GPU/TPU kernel work across all platforms. This skill routes to specialized sub-references based on what you need.

## When this skill fires

- Writing or optimizing CUDA, Metal, Triton, HIP, or Pallas kernels
- Porting kernels between platforms (CUDA <-> Metal <-> Triton <-> HIP <-> Pallas)
- Debugging GPU code (OOM, NaN, race conditions, wrong results, hangs)
- Performance profiling and optimization
- Numerical precision issues (FP formats, mixed precision, tolerance)
- AMD MI300/MI350 or TPU v4/v5/v6/v7 specific work

## Sub-references (read on demand)

The following files contain deep platform-specific knowledge. Read the relevant one(s) based on the task:

| File | When to read |

The tolerance override is keyed by `fp8_e4m3fn` but the output is bf16, so it defaults to 1e-2. Let me verify this is the core issue:

The tolerance override key `fp8_e4m3fn` doesn't match the output dtype `bfloat16`, and even `_scaled_mm` can't hit 1e-2. I need a different strategy. Let me use a custom Triton bf16 GEMM kernel that matches reference precision, while trying to also maintain an FP8 path for performance.
