Here you find a collection of CUDA related material (books, papers, blog-post, youtube videos, tweets, implementations etc.). We also collect information to higher level tools for performance optimization and kernel development like Triton and torch.compile() ... whatever makes the GPUs go brrrr.
You know a great resource we should add? Please see How to contribute.
