Abstract
A method for optimization of machine learning (ML) workloads on a graphics processor unit (GPU). The method includes identifying a computation having a generic pattern commonly observed in ML processes. Hierarchical aggregation spanning a memory hierarchy of the GPU for processing is performed for the identified computation including maintaining partial output vector results in shared memory of the GPU. Hierarchical aggregation for vectors is performed including performing intra-block aggregation for multiple thread blocks of a partial output vector results on GPU global memory.
