EGG: An Expert-Guided Agent Framework for Kernel Generation

arXiv:2606.26758v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-performance GPU kernels are critical for reducing the exponentially growing computational costs of large language models (LLMs), but their development heavily relies on manual tuning by domain experts. While recent advances in LLM-based approaches show promise for automating kernel generation, they still struggle to achieve both correctness and high performance. This limitation primarily arises from the lack of domain-specific optimization guidance, hindering effective exploration of the optimization space. We propose EGG, an Expert-Guided A
