GEMM Kernel Optimization For AMD GPUs
- 06 February 2025
Matrix multiplication underlies critical computational pathways in AI, with General Matrix Multiplication (GEMM) operations serving as performance-critical kernels in neural network architectures. From fully connected layers to convolutions and transformer attention mechanisms, GEMMs consume substantial computational and memory resources in large language models (LLMs). This blog explores GEMM optimization techniques for AMD GPUs, demonstrating methodologies to significantly enhance computational efficiency and performance scaling.
