CANN Bench: Benchmarking Agent Generated Kernels against Real NPU and Algorithmic Limits
Xue-Jian Gao, Deng Pan, Yueming Su, Jiasheng Li, Bin Du, Fengming Zhu, et al.
AI agents are now capable of writing, compiling, and iteratively optimizing low-level operator kernels on different hardware platforms. Existing benchmarks, however, focus almost exclusively on CUDA and Triton, leaving hardware ecosystems with less-exposed programming models with…
