Lessons From Training Composer At Cursor And Building Meta/Nvidia Compute Clusters | YC Paper Club
202677 분
At our latest YC Paper Club, researchers and builders presented on multi-GPU kernel optimization, intelligence per watt for local inference, AI-generated GPU kernels and benchmarking, heterogeneous inference infrastructure design, and GPU-accelerated game engines for reinforcement learning. Thanks to the following presenters:
Stuart Sul (Stanford / Cursor), John (Stanford), Mark (PyTorch / GPU Mode / CoreAuto), Misha (Marlo), and Brennan (Stanford)
