# Kernel optimization

Kernel optimization is about making GPU kernels run faster and more efficiently
by improving how they use compute, memory bandwidth, and on-chip resources. For
LLM inference, this often means reducing memory movement, increasing hardware
utilization, and mapping workloads more carefully to the GPU.
