Large Language Models (LLM) show strong abilities in code generation, but their skill in creating efficient parallel programs is less studied. This paper explores how LLMs generate task-based parallel code from three kinds of input prompts: natural language problem descriptions, sequential reference implementations, and parallel pseudo code. We focus on three programming frameworks: OpenMP Tasking, […]

Context engineering has emerged as a pivotal paradigm for unlocking the potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) in Software Engineering (SE) tasks, enabling performance gains at test time without model fine-tuning. Despite its success, existing research lacks a systematic taxonomy of SE-specific context types and a dedicated benchmark to quantify the heterogeneous effects of different […]

Reinforcement Learning from Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has driven recent progress in code large language models by leveraging execution-based feedback from unit tests, but its scalability is fundamentally constrained by the availability and reliability of high-quality test cases. We propose CodeScaler, an execution-free reward model designed to scale both reinforcement learning training and test-time inference for […]

As large language models continue to scale, training demands on compute and system capacity grow rapidly, making single-vendor homogeneous clusters insufficient. This paper presents a technical solution for heterogeneous mixed training in AMD-NVIDIA environments. We first adopt a compatibility-oriented approach based on CPU-Forwarding Communication, with differentiated communication back-end selection across parallel groups and multi-NIC parallel […]

This survey discusses recent advancements in SYCL compiler implementations, one of the crucial aspects of compiler construction for heterogeneous computing systems. We explore the transition from traditional compiler construction, from Single-Source Multiple Compiler Passes (SMCP) to a more advanced approach to Single-Source Single Compiler Pass (SSCP). The survey analyzes multiple papers that researched the different […]

We present HPC++, an automatic parallelization framework that transforms sequential C++ programs into efficient parallel implementations targeting both multi-core CPUs and OpenCL-capable GPUs. Operating at the LLVM Intermediate Representation (IR) level, HPC++ performs pattern-driven analysis to detect seven distinct parallelization strategies—including reductions, elementwise maps, matrix multiplications, nested loops, search operations, histogram patterns, and independent function […]

Optimizing CUDA code across multiple generations of GPU architectures is challenging, as achieving peak performance requires an extensive exploration of an increasingly complex, hardware-specific optimization space. Traditional compilers are constrained by fixed heuristics, whereas finetuning Large Language Models (LLMs) can be expensive. However, agentic workflows for CUDA code optimization have limited ability to aggregate knowledge […]

Developing efficient GPU kernels is essential for scaling modern AI systems, yet it remains a complex task due to intricate hardware architectures and the need for specialized optimization expertise. Although Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate strong capabilities in general sequential code generation, they face significant challenges in GPU code generation because of the scarcity of […]

Generating high-performance CUDA kernels remains challenging due to the need to navigate a combinatorial space of low-level transformations under noisy and expensive hardware feedback. Although large language models can synthesize functionally correct CUDA code, achieving competitive performance requires systematic exploration and verification of optimization choices. We present OptiML, an end-to-end framework that maps either natural-language […]

The rapid evolution of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) has driven major gains in reasoning, perception, and generation across language and vision, yet whether these advances translate into comparable improvements in safety remains unclear, partly due to fragmented evaluations that focus on isolated modalities or threat models. In this report, […]

Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable capabilities in automated code generation. While effective for mainstream languages, they may underperform on less common or domain-specific languages, prompting companies to develop in-house code generators. While open-source models can be trained for this, only LLMs with tens of billions of parameters match the performance of commercial tools, […]

The AMD MI300A APU integrates CDNA3 GPUs with high-bandwidth memory and advanced accelerator features: FP8 matrix cores, asynchronous compute engines (ACE), and 2:4 structured sparsity. These capabilities are increasingly relied upon by modern HPC and HPC-AI workloads, yet their execution characteristics and system-level implications remain insufficiently understood. In this paper, we present an execution-centric characterization […]
