Helion 1.0: A High-Level DSL for Performance Portable Kernels - Oguz Ulgen, Meta

This talk features Oguz Ulgen from Meta discussing Helion 1.0, a high-level domain-specific language designed for performance portable kernels. The session highlights Helion's Python-embedded programming model, which combines the familiarity of PyTorch APIs with lower-level kernel control. The speaker explains how Helion integrates with TorchInductor to optimize host/device management and offers advanced features for tiling, memory movement, and synchronization. Additionally, attendees will learn about the language's high-dimensional configuration space and the autotuner that automates kernel tuning, making it suitable for both novice and experienced kernel authors.
