On the potential advantages of making model-specific GPU kernels and their software to optimizing the usage of dynamically formed tensors
This publish continues an extended series of posts on the subject of analyzing and optimizing the runtime efficiency of coaching AI/ML fashions. The publish may simply have been titled “PyTorch Mannequin Efficiency Evaluation and Optimization — Half 7”, however because of the weight of the subject at hand, we determined {that a} devoted publish (or sequence of posts) was warranted. In our earlier posts, we now have spoken at size in regards to the significance of analyzing and optimizing your AI/ML workloads and the doubtless vital affect it might have on the velocity and prices of AI/ML mannequin improvement. We have now advocated for having a number of instruments and strategies for profiling and optimizing coaching efficiency and have demonstrated many of those in observe. On this publish we are going to focus on one of many extra superior optimization strategies — one which units aside the true rock stars from the easy amateurs — making a customized PyTorch operator in C++ and CUDA.
Standard ML frameworks, equivalent to PyTorch, TensorFlow, and JAX are usually constructed utilizing SW parts which can be optimized for the underlying {hardware} that the AI/ML workload is run on, be it a CPU, a GPU, or an AI-specific ASIC equivalent to a Google TPU. Nonetheless, inevitably, you could discover the efficiency of sure computation blocks that comprise your mannequin to be unsatisfactory or in-optimal. Oftentimes, by tuning the low-level code blocks — sometimes called kernels — to the particular wants of the AI/ML mannequin, can lead to vital speed-ups to the runtime efficiency of mannequin coaching and inference. Such speed-ups could be completed by implementing functionalities that had been beforehand unsupported (e.g., a complicated consideration block), fusing collectively particular person operations (e.g., as in PyTorch’s tutorial on multiply-add fusion), and/or optimizing present kernels primarily based on the particular properties of the mannequin at hand. Importantly, the power to carry out such customization is determined by the assist of each the AI HW and the ML framework. Though our deal with this publish will probably be on NVIDIA GPUs and the PyTorch framework, it needs to be famous that different AI ASICs and ML frameworks allow related capabilities for customized kernel customization. NVIDIA allows the event of customized kernels for its GPUs by means of its CUDA toolkit. And PyTorch consists of devoted APIs and tutorials for exposing this performance and integrating it into the design of your mannequin.
Our intention on this publish is to attract consideration to the ability and potential of kernel customization and display its software to the distinctive problem of coaching fashions with dynamically formed tensors. Our intention is just not — by any means — to interchange the official documentation on creating customized operations. Moreover, the examples we are going to share had been chosen for demonstrative functions, solely. We have now made no effort to optimize these or confirm their robustness, sturdiness, or accuracy. If, primarily based on this publish, you select to spend money on AI/ML optimization through customized CUDA kernel improvement, it’s best to make sure to bear the suitable coaching.
The prevalence of tensors with dynamic shapes in AI fashions can pose distinctive and thrilling challenges close to efficiency optimization. We have now already seen one instance of this in a previous post through which we demonstrated how the usage of boolean masks can set off a undesired CPU-GPU sync occasion and advocated in opposition to their use. Typically talking, AI accelerators are likely to favor tensors with mounted shapes over ones with dynamic shapes. Not solely does it simplify the administration of reminiscence assets, nevertheless it additionally allows better alternative for efficiency optimization (e.g., utilizing torch.compile). The toy instance that follows demonstrates this problem.
Suppose we’re tasked with making a face detection mannequin for a next-generation digital digital camera. To coach, this mannequin, we’re supplied with a dataset of 1 million 256x256 grayscale pictures and related ground-truth bounding bins for every picture. Naturally, the variety of faces in every picture can differ significantly, with the overwhelming majority of pictures containing 5 or fewer faces, and only a few containing dozens and even a whole bunch. The requirement from our mannequin is to assist all variations. Particularly, our mannequin must assist the detection of as much as 256 faces in a picture.
To deal with this problem, we outline the next naïve mannequin that generates bounding bins and an accompanying loss operate. Specifically, we naïvely truncate the mannequin outputs primarily based on the variety of goal bins reasonably than carry out some type of assignment algorithm for matching between the bounding field predictions and floor reality targets. We (considerably arbitrarily) select the Generalized Intersection Over Union (GIOU) loss. An actual-world resolution would doubtless be much more refined (e.g., it will embody a loss element that features a penalizes for false positives).

total_boxes += num_targets
loss_sum += generalized_box_iou(sample_preds, targets).sum()
return loss_sum / max(total_boxes, 1)
Due the various variety of faces per picture, the loss is calculated individually for every particular person pattern reasonably than a single time (for your entire batch). Specifically, the CPU will launch every of the GPU kernels related to the loss operate B instances, the place B is the chosen batch dimension. Relying on the dimensions of the batch, this might entail a major overhead, as we are going to see beneath.
Within the following block we outline a dataset that generates random pictures and related bounding bins. For the reason that variety of faces varies per picture, we require a custom collate function for grouping samples into batches:
from torch.utils.information import Dataset, DataLoader
import numpy as np# A dataset with random pictures and gt bins
class FakeDataset(Dataset):
def __init__(self):
tremendous().__init__()
self.dimension = 256
self.img_size = [256, 256]
def __len__(self):
return 1000000
def __getitem__(self, index):
rand_image = torch.randint(low=0, excessive=256,
dimension=[1]+self.img_size,
dtype=torch.uint8)
# set the distribution over the variety of bins to replicate the very fact
# that the overwhelming majority of pictures have fewer than 10 faces
n_boxes = np.clip(np.ground(np.abs(np.random.regular(0, 3)))
.astype(np.int32), 0, 255)
box_sizes = torch.randint(low=1, excessive=self.dimension, dimension=(n_boxes,2))
top_left = torch.randint(low=0, excessive=self.size-1, dimension=(n_boxes, 2))
bottom_right = torch.clamp(top_left + box_sizes, 0, self.dimension -1)
rand_boxes = torch.concat((top_left,bottom_right), dim = 1)
return rand_image, rand_boxes.to(torch.uint8)
def collate_fn(batch):
pictures = torch.stack([b[0] for b in batch],dim=0)
bins = [b[1] for b in batch]
return pictures, bins
train_loader = DataLoader(
dataset = FakeDataset(),
batch_size=1024,
pin_memory=True,
num_workers=16,
collate_fn=collate_fn
)
Sometimes, every coaching step begins with copying the coaching batch from the host (CPU) to the machine (GPU). When our information samples are of mounted sized, they’re copied in batches. Nonetheless, one of many implications of the various variety of faces per picture is that the bounding field targets of every pattern is copied individually requiring many extra particular person copy operations.
def data_to_device(information, machine):
if isinstance(information, (checklist, tuple)):
return kind(information)(
data_to_device(val, machine) for val in information
)
elif isinstance(information, torch.Tensor):
return information.to(machine=machine, non_blocking=True)
Lastly, we outline our coaching/analysis loop. For the needs of our dialogue, we now have chosen to focus simply on the ahead cross of our coaching loop. Be aware the inclusion of a PyTorch profiler object and our use of specific synchronization events (to facilitate efficiency analysis of various parts of the ahead cross).
machine = torch.machine("cuda:0")
mannequin = torch.compile(Web()).to(machine).prepare()# ahead portion of coaching loop wrapped with profiler object
with torch.profiler.profile(
schedule=torch.profiler.schedule(wait=5, warmup=5, lively=10, repeat=1),
on_trace_ready=torch.profiler.tensorboard_trace_handler('/tmp/perf/'),
profile_memory=True
) as prof:
for step, information in enumerate(train_loader):
with torch.profiler.record_function('copy information'):
pictures, bins = data_to_device(information, machine)
torch.cuda.synchronize(machine)
with torch.profiler.record_function('ahead'):
with torch.autocast(device_type='cuda', dtype=torch.bfloat16):
outputs = mannequin(pictures)
torch.cuda.synchronize(machine)
with torch.profiler.record_function('calc loss'):
loss = loss_fn(outputs, bins)
torch.cuda.synchronize(machine)
prof.step()
if step > 30:
break
# filter and print profiler outcomes
event_list = prof.key_averages()
for i in vary(len(event_list) - 1, -1, -1):

Efficiency Evaluation
Operating our script on a Google Cloud g2-standard-16 VM (with a single L4 GPU), a devoted deep learning VM image, and PyTorch 2.4.0, generates the output beneath (which we trimmed for readability).
------------- ------------ ------------
Identify CPU whole CPU time avg
------------- ------------ ------------
copy information 288.164ms 28.816ms

calc loss 9.381s 938.067ms
------------- ------------ ------------
Self CPU time whole: 4.018s
Self CUDA time whole: 10.107s
Even though the loss operate accommodates far fewer operations, it fully dominates the general step time. The overhead of the repeated invocations of the underlying GPU kernels (for every pattern within the batch) is clearly evident within the Hint view in TensorBoard:
Optimization By way of Concatenation
One option to cut back the variety of calls to the loss operate is to mix collectively the entire legitimate bins every batch utilizing concatenation, as proven within the following block.
def loss_with_concat(pred, targets_list):
bs = len(targets_list)
all_targets = torch.concat(targets_list, dim = 0)
num_boxes = [targets_list[i].form[0] for i in vary(bs)]
all_preds = torch.concat([pred[i,: num_boxes[i]] for i in vary(bs)],
dim=0)
total_boxes = sum(num_boxes)
loss_sum = generalized_box_iou(all_targets, all_preds).sum()
return loss_sum/max(total_boxes, 1)
The outcomes of this optimization are captured beneath.

calc loss 254.047ms 25.405ms
------------- ------------ ------------
Self CPU time whole: 396.674ms
Self CUDA time whole: 1.871s
The concatenation optimization resulted in a 37X (!!) speed-up of the loss operate. Be aware, nonetheless, that it didn’t tackle the overhead of the person host-to-device copies of the pattern ground-truth information. This overhead is captured within the screenshot beneath from TensorBoard’s Hint view:
Optimization By way of Padding
A typical strategy to avoiding the usage of dynamically formed tensors is padding. Within the following code block, we modify the collate operate to pad (with zeros) the ground-truth bounding-boxes of every information pattern to the utmost variety of supported bins, 256. (Be aware, that the padding may even have been carried out within the Dataset class.)
def collate_with_padding(batch):
pictures = torch.stack([b[0] for b in batch],dim=0)
padded_boxes = []
for b in batch:
p = torch.nn.useful.pad(
b[1], (0, 0, 0, 256 - b[1].form[0]), worth = 0)
padded_boxes.append(p)
bins = torch.stack(padded_boxes,dim=0)
return pictures, bins
Padding the samples to mounted sized tensors allows us to repeat the bottom reality of the batch with a single name. It additionally permits us to compute the loss with a single invocation of the loss operate. Be aware, that this technique requires masking the resultant loss, as proven beneath, in order that solely the legitimate bins are considered.
def loss_with_padding(pred, targets):
masks = (targets[...,3] > 0).to(pred.dtype)
total_boxes = masks.sum()
loss = generalized_box_iou(targets, pred)
masked_loss = loss*masks
loss_sum = masked_loss.sum()
return loss_sum/torch.clamp(total_boxes, 1)
The resultant runtime efficiency is captured beneath:
------------- ------------ ------------
Identify CPU whole CPU time avg
------------- ------------ ------------
copy information 57.125ms 5.713ms
ahead 1.315s 131.503ms
calc loss 18.438ms 1.844ms
------------- ------------ ------------
Self CPU time whole: 11.723ms
Self CUDA time whole: 1.378s
Be aware the practically 10X enhance within the information copy and the extra 14X enhance within the loss operate efficiency. Needless to say padding could improve the usage of the GPU reminiscence. In our case, this improve is lower than 1%.
Whereas the runtime of our loss operate has improved dramatically, we word that the overwhelming majority of the calculations which can be carried out within the loss features are instantly masked away. We will’t assist however wonder if there’s a option to additional enhance the efficiency by avoiding these redundant operations. Within the subsequent part, we are going to discover the alternatives offered through the use of customized CUDA kernels.
Many tutorials will spotlight the problem of making CUDA kernels and the excessive entrance barrier. Whereas mastering CUDA improvement and tuning kernels to maximise the utilization of the GPU may, certainly, require years of expertise in addition to an intimate understanding of the GPU structure, we strongly imagine that even a novice (however formidable) CUDA fanatic/ML developer can succeed at — and significantly profit from — constructing customized CUDA kernels. On this part we are going to take PyTorch’s (comparatively easy) instance of a C++/CUDA extension for PyTorch and improve it with a GIOU kernel. We’ll do that in two phases: First we are going to naïvely carry over the entire GIOU logic to C++/CUDA to evaluate the efficiency affect of kernel fusion. Then, we are going to make the most of our new-found low-level management so as to add conditional logic and cut back unneeded arithmetic operations.
Creating CUDA kernels lets you decide the core logic that’s carried out in every of the GPU threads and the way these are distributed onto the underlying GPU streaming multiprocessors (SMs). Doing this in essentially the most optimum method requires an knowledgeable understanding of the GPU structure together with the totally different ranges of GPU reminiscence, reminiscence bandwidth, the on-chip acceleration engines (e.g., TensorCores), the supported variety of concurrent threads per SM and the way they’re scheduled, and far far more. What makes issues much more sophisticated is that these properties can differ between GPU generations and flavors. See this blog for a really fundamental, however very simple, introduction to CUDA.
Step 1 — Kernel Fusion
Trying again on the Hint view of our final experiment, you could discover that the ahead cross of our loss calculation consists of roughly thirty unbiased arithmetic operations which of which translate to launching and working an unbiased CUDA kernel (as could be seen by merely counting the variety of cudaLaunchKernel occasions). This may negatively affect efficiency in plenty of methods. For instance:
- Every kernel launch requires devoted communication between the CPU and GPU — one thing we all the time attempt to decrease.
- Every kernel wants to attend for the earlier kernel to be accomplished earlier than working. Typically, this may’t be prevented, however in some instances, equivalent to ours — the place a lot of the operations are carried out “per-pixel”, it might.
- Using many unbiased kernels can have implications on how the GPU reminiscence is used.
Optimization by means of kernel fusion makes an attempt to scale back this overhead by combining these operations right into a decrease variety of kernels in order to scale back the overhead of a number of kernels.
Within the code block beneath, we outline a kernel that performs our GIOU on a single bounding-box prediction-target pair. We use a 1-D grid to allocate thread blocks of dimension 256 every the place every block corresponds one pattern within the coaching batch and every thread corresponds to at least one bounding field within the pattern. Thus, every thread — uniquely recognized by a mixture of the block and thread IDs — receives the predictions (boxes1) and targets(boxes2) and performs the GIOU calculation on the one bounding field decided by the IDs. As earlier than, the “validity” of the bounding field is managed by the worth of the goal bins. Specifically, the GIOU is explicitly zeroed wherever the corresponding field is invalid.

m.impl("giou_loss", &giou_loss_cuda);
}
}
To finish the kernel creation, we have to add the suitable C++ and Python operator definitions (see muladd.cpp and ops.py)
// Add the C++ definition
m.def(“giou_loss(Tensor a, Tensor b) -> Tensor”);
# outline the Python operator
def giou_loss(a: Tensor, b: Tensor) -> Tensor:
return torch.ops.extension_cpp.giou_loss.default(a, b)
To compile our kernel run the set up script (pip set up .) from the bottom listing.
The next block makes use of our newly outlined GIOU CUDA kernel:
def loss_with_kernel(pred, targets):
pred = pred.to(torch.float32)
targets = targets.to(torch.float32)
import extension_cpp
return extension_cpp.ops.giou_loss(pred, targets)
Be aware the express casting to torch.float32. It is a reasonably costly operation that may very well be simply prevented by enhancing our CUDA kernel assist. We depart this as an train to the reader :).
The outcomes of working our script with our customized kernel are displayed beneath.

------------- ------------ ------------
Self CPU time whole: 6.907ms
Self CUDA time whole: 1.380s
Regardless of the naïveté of our kernel (and our inexperience at CUDA), we now have boosted the loss operate efficiency by a further ~3X over our earlier experiment (628 microseconds examine to 1.8 milliseconds). With some extra. As famous above, this may be improved even additional with out a lot effort.
Step 2 — Conditional Execution
The thread-level management that CUDA gives us permits us so as to add a conditional assertion that avoids computation on the invalid bounding bins:
__global__ void giou_kernel(const float* boxes1,
const float* boxes2,
float* giou,
bool* masks) {
int idx = blockIdx.x * blockDim.x + threadIdx.x;
bool legitimate = boxes2[4*idx+3] != 0;
masks[idx] = legitimate;
if (legitimate)
{
const float* box1 = &boxes1[idx * 4];
const float* box2 = &boxes2[idx * 4];
giou[idx] = compute_giou(box1, box2);
}
else
{
giou[idx] = 0;
}
}
Within the case of our kernel, the affect on runtime efficiency is negligible. The explanation for this (presumably) is that our kernel is comparatively small to the purpose that its runtime is negligible in comparison with the time require to load and instantiate it. The affect of our conditional execution would possibly solely grow to be obvious for bigger kernels. (The affect, as a operate of the kernel dimension could be assessed by making our GIOU output depending on a for loop that we run for a various variety of mounted steps. This, too, we depart as an train :).) Additionally it is necessary to consider how a conditional execution flows behave on CUDA’s SIMT architecture, significantly, the potential efficiency penalty when threads belonging to the identical warp diverge.

We summarize the outcomes of our experiments within the desk beneath.
Importantly, our work is just not achieved. Admittedly, we now have taken some shortcuts within the instance we now have shared:
- So as to use our customized kernel for coaching, we would want to implement the backward cross. Sometimes, this is usually a bit extra sophisticated than the ahead cross.
- We have now mounted each the tensor sorts (to float32) and tensor shapes (to 256 bins per pattern). Ideally, a extra strong resolution is desired that helps various enter sorts and shapes.
- We restricted our experiments to a single GPU kind. In actuality, we’d need our implementation to assist (and be examined on) a number of GPUs.
- We have now fully uncared for alternatives for kernel optimization — a few of which can require better CUDA experience than we now have demonstrated right here.
On this publish we demonstrated the potential of the usage of a customized CUDA kernel on the runtime efficiency of AI/ML functions. We tried, particularly, to make the most of the low-level management enabled by CUDA to introduce a conditional movement to restrict the variety of redundant arithmetic operations within the case of dynamically formed inputs. Whereas the efficiency enhance ensuing from the fusion of a number of kernel operations was vital, we discovered the dimensions of our kernel to be too small to profit from the conditional execution movement.
All through lots of our posts we now have emphasised the significance of getting a number of instruments and strategies for optimizing ML and lowering its prices. Customized kernel improvement is without doubt one of the strongest strategies at our disposal. Nonetheless, for a lot of AI/ML engineers, it’s also one of the vital intimidating strategies. We hope that we now have succeeded in convincing you that this chance is inside attain of any ML developer and that it doesn’t require main specialization in CUDA.
Lately, new frameworks have been launched with the objective of constructing customized kernel improvement and optimization extra accessible to AI/ML builders. One of the crucial fashionable of those frameworks is Triton. In our subsequent publish we are going to proceed our exploration of the subject of customized kernel improvement by assessing the capabilities and potential affect of creating Triton kernels.
