Description
Unlock the power of GPU acceleration without writing CUDA code! This hands-on course guides you through creating custom high-performance kernels using Triton and PyTorch on Google Colab's T4 GPUs. Perfect for ML engineers and researchers who want to optimize their deep learning models.

You'll start with Triton fundamentals and progressively build toward implementing an efficient fused softmax kernel - a critical component in transformer models. Through detailed comparisons with PyTorch's native implementation, you'll gain insights into performance optimization principles and practical acceleration techniques.

This comprehensive course covers:

Triton programming model and core concepts

Modern GPU architecture fundamentals and memory hierarchy

PyTorch integration techniques and performance baselines

Step-by-step implementation of softmax in both PyTorch and Triton

Deep dive into the Triton compiler and its optimization passes

Memory access patterns and tiling strategies for maximum throughput

Register, shared memory, and L1/L2 cache utilization techniques

Performance profiling and bottleneck identification

Advanced optimization strategies for real-world deployment

Hands-on practice with Google Colab T4 GPUs

You'll not just learn to write kernels, but understand the underlying hardware interactions that make them fast. By comparing PyTorch's native operations with our custom Triton implementations, you'll develop intuition for when and how to optimize critical code paths in your own projects.

No CUDA experience required - just Python and basic PyTorch knowledge. Join now to add hardware acceleration skills to your deep learning toolkit and take your models to the next level of performance!

Who this course is for:
- Machine learning developers who wish to author their own kernels.
