What happened and what to do
Published on February 25, 2026, the post presents four CUDA kernel patterns: parallel reduction, 1D convolution, histograms, and numerically stable softmax. Techniques include tiling, halo regions, data reuse, atomics, and multi-stage reduction, addressing challenges in parallelization, memory use, and contention.
A company running GPU workloads can assess these patterns against its own algorithms, identify memory or contention bottlenecks, and compare implementations with reproducible tests. A practical response is to instrument performance and optimize relevant kernels, without assuming one technique fits every case.
How the consultancy can help
Wendelmaques can diagnose bottlenecks and opportunities in a company’s kernels and data flows, define an optimization scope, and implement and operate instrumentation, tests, and performance improvements.
