arXiv:2607.27231v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Modern AI systems depend on specialized accelerator kernels, whose development is complicated by increasingly diverse operators and hardware. LLMs and agentic systems promise to automate this work, but existing evaluations do not show whether their performance transfers across operator sources and hardware platforms, or what such transfer costs. We present KernelGenBench, the first unified multi-source and multi-chip infrastructure for evaluating LLM- and agent-generated Triton kernels. With a common Triton target spanning six hardware platforms, it provides the broadest cross-vendor hardware coverage among existing kernel-generation benchmarks. We report two controlled analytical views: KernelGenBench-MS (Multi-Source) covers 210 operators from PyTorch ATen, production vLLM operators, and proprietary cuBLAS routines, while KernelGenBench-MC (Multi-Chip) evaluates a semantically stable 110-operator subset across six hardware platforms. Our evaluation consumed over 15 billion tokens. Agentic execution improved correctness, but no method dominated across sources and platforms: vLLM posed the strongest correctness challenge, cuBLAS set the highest performance ceiling, and AutoKernel accuracy fell from 87% on NVIDIA to 25% on Iluvatar CoreX. These improvements were costly: specialized agents averaged 4.99 million tokens per successful operator, rising to 6.25 million for CUDA Optimized Skill. The results establish operator source, hardware platform, and agentic scaffold as distinct dimensions of kernel-generation capability, and show that success in a familiar source-hardware setting is not a reliable proxy for deployment readiness.

arXiv:2603.04135v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) effectively scales LLM reasoning but incurs prohibitive computational costs due to its extensive group-based sampling requirement. While recent selective data utilization methods can mitigate this overhead, they could induce estimation bias by altering the underlying sampling distribution, compromising theoretical rigor and convergence behavior. To address this limitation, we propose Dynamic Pruning Policy Optimization (DPPO), a framework that enables dynamic pruning while preserving unbiased gradient estimation through importance sampling-based correction. By incorporating mathematically derived rescaling factors, DPPO significantly accelerates GRPO training without altering the optimization objective of the full-batch baseline. Furthermore, to mitigate the data sparsity induced by pruning, we introduce Dense Prompt Packing, a window-based greedy strategy that maximizes valid token density and hardware utilization. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DPPO consistently accelerates training across diverse models and benchmarks. For instance, on Qwen3-4B trained on MATH, DPPO achieves 2.37$\times$ training speedup and outperforms GRPO by 3.36% in average accuracy across six mathematical reasoning benchmarks.

arXiv:2510.14686v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce xLLM, an intelligent and efficient Large Language Model (LLM) inference framework designed for high-performance, large-scale enterprise-grade serving, with deep optimizations for diverse AI accelerators. To address these challenges, xLLM builds a novel decoupled service-engine architecture. At the service layer, xLLM-Service features an intelligent scheduling module that efficiently processes multimodal requests and co-locates online and offline tasks through unified elastic scheduling to maximize cluster utilization. This module also relies on a workload-adaptive dynamic Prefill-Decode (PD) disaggregation policy and a novel Encode-Prefill-Decode (EPD) disaggregation policy designed for multimodal inputs. Furthermore, it incorporates a distributed architecture to provide global KV Cache management and robust fault-tolerant capabilities for high availability. At the engine layer, xLLM-Engine co-optimizes system and algorithm designs to fully saturate computing resources. This is achieved through comprehensive multi-layer execution pipeline optimizations, an adaptive graph mode and an xTensor memory management. xLLM-Engine also further integrates algorithmic enhancements such as optimized speculative decoding and dynamic EPLB, collectively serving to substantially boost throughput and inference efficiency. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that xLLM delivers significantly superior performance and resource efficiency. Under identical TPOT constraints, xLLM achieves throughput up to 1.7x that of MindIE and 2.2x that of vLLM-Ascend with Qwen-series models, while maintaining an average throughput of 1.7x that of MindIE with Deepseek-series models. xLLM framework is publicly available at https://github.com/jd-opensource/xllm and https://github.com/jd-opensource/xllm-service.
