GPU Performance & AI Infrastructure: A Hands-On Playground Guide
GPU performance is the single biggest lever in modern AI infrastructure, and the fastest way to master it is to stop reading theory and start building. This guide gives you a hands-on playground path: set up profiling tooling, measure before you optimize, build the canonical matrix multiplication kernel, and learn how micro-optimizations compound into real training and inference cost savings. By the end, you will know exactly how to profile a GPU, where your time actually goes, and when to hand-write a kernel versus trust a vendor library. ...
