Benchmark Almanac

ParallelKernelBench

Not in model cards

Models replace PyTorch and NCCL reference code with multi-GPU CUDA kernels for 87 problems from codebases such as Megatron-LM and DeepSpeed. Scored on correctness and speed over the baseline.

Default runs use 8 H100 GPUs. Best zero-shot model solved 28 of 87 at launch.
