EvoKernel
CUDA kernel optimization agent powered by OpenEvolve.
Quick Start
# Install as CLI tool (requires Python 3.10-3.13)
pipx install evokernel
# or with uv
uv tool install evokernel
# Setup Modal (GPU evaluator)
modal setup
# Configure OpenRouter API key
evokernel setup
# Run in any project directory
evokernel
Development Install
git clone https://github.com/haladir-ai/EvoKernel.git
cd EvoKernel
uv tool install .
Usage
Just run evokernel in a directory with CUDA kernels and chat with the agent:
> optimize my_kernel.cu
> check status
> show the best result
> apply changes
Current Features
- Speedup optimization: Maximizes kernel throughput via evolutionary search
- EVOLVE markers: Define which code regions to optimize
- Modal GPU evaluation: Compile and benchmark on cloud A100 (default)
- Local GPU evaluation: Run benchmarks on your own GPU (for codebases with dependencies)
- LLM ensemble: Uses Gemini, Claude, GPT via OpenRouter
Evaluator Modes
| Mode | Use Case |
|---|---|
modal (default) |
Self-contained kernels, no local GPU needed |
local |
Kernels with custom headers/dependencies |
Roadmap (Not Yet Implemented)
- Memory optimization goal: Minimize memory usage instead of speedup
- Target hardware selection: Optimize for specific GPUs (A100, H100, V100)
- Energy efficiency goal: Minimize power consumption
