I know what you mean. I guess Triton might be one way people are actually trying that, and further than that there's a lot of people putting years of work into MLIR-based tech, trying to abstract in a retargetable way the algorithm from its 'scheduling'. Might be worth a look if you're into this :-)

Ah nice! I intentionally didn’t talk a lot about “scheduling” because 1) I’m personally heavily working on it, which potentially makes a conflict of interest, and 2) I don’t want to deviate a lot from the topic in this thread about “optimize matmuls”. Check out my google scholar for more details though! I love MLIR and Modular, so please do share more about it! If it’s potential distraction from this thread, I’m also open to email communication if you are interested! Oh btw, to clarify, I’m not saying Triton is an ideal abstraction. I love it and it’s super popular because it’s the most user-friendly option for ML researchers to write performant kernels on certain gpus, but from a MLSys researcher’s perspective, I’m personally more ambitious and wanted to target broader range of hardwares. Also I really appreciate Philippe’s work that makes Triton really performant and easy to use.
