FlashAttention kernel generated from about 25 lines of SQL
Original: Show HN: Automatic deduction of FlashAttention kernel from ~25 lines of SQL
A developer has shared a project that automatically derives a FlashAttention GPU kernel from roughly 25 lines of SQL, published as a benchmark in the xarray-sql repository on GitHub. The demonstration suggests a high-level query language can express a complex attention computation and be compiled down to optimized hardware code, prompting discussion about whether SQL could serve as a concise way to specify machine learning kernels.
Why now: Readers are intrigued by the surprising claim that a complex GPU kernel can be expressed and deduced automatically from so little SQL.
