KERNELIZE PLATFORM

A Triton-based platform for portable AI inference

Kernelize provides a Triton-based platform for running inference across diverse hardware. Triton defines the kernel language, Triton Extensions handle chip-specific optimization, and the Kernelize platform manages how this works across devices.

Triton

By separating how kernels are written from how they are executed, Triton provides a stable interface that higher-level software can depend on as hardware evolves.

Kernel abstraction

Kernel abstraction

Triton defines how performance-critical kernels are expressed using tile-based semantics, independent of hardware implementation details.

Compiler-based optimization

Compiler-based optimization

Triton kernels are compiled into device-specific execution models rather than interpreted or dispatched at runtime.

Hardware-agnostic source

Hardware-agnostic source

Triton kernels remain hardware-agnostic at the source level, with execution details defined downstream.

chip-specific optimization

Triton Extensions

Each extension maps the Triton language onto a device’s execution model, controlling lowering, scheduling, and hardware-specific behavior.

By isolating this work in extensions, higher-level software remains unchanged as new hardware is introduced.

Chip-specific layer

Each Triton Extension targets a specific chip, mapping Triton kernels onto that device’s execution model.

Getting Started

Triton Extension bring-up

Some hardware platforms already have Triton support.
In those cases, teams can adopt the Kernelize platform directly to manage extensions, maintain portability, and support heterogeneous deployments.

For hardware without existing Triton support, Kernelize provides a short-term on-ramp to establish an open-source Triton Extension as the foundation for using the platform.
