ParallelKittens demonstrates efficient multi-GPU kernels with minimal code.
Writing efficient multi-GPU kernels requires navigating trade-offs in transfer mechanisms, computation-communication scheduling, and exposing performance-critical controls, as demonstrated by the ParallelKittens framework which achieves high performance with minimal code.
