EdgeKernelBench: Unified LLM-Driven Kernel Generation for Edge Backends

We introduce EdgeKernelBench, which combines a unified IR deployment framework with a hierarchical benchmark for edge workloads.

Key points

  • Recent works show that LLMs can generate kernels with strong performance on server GPUs.
  • LLM kernel generation across diverse edge backends has yet to be studied systematically.
  • We therefore introduce the Layered Edge Kernel Agent (LEKA), which organizes optimization through a layered IR.
  • Together, EdgeKernelBench and LEKA support unified evaluation and layered optimization of kernels generated by LLMs across edge backends.
