TileLang is a Pythonic domain-specific language and compiler (built on TVM) for writing high-performance GPU/CPU/accelerator kernels such as GEMM, FlashAttention, and linear attention. It lets developers express tiled compute kernels concisely while the compiler handles low-level optimizations across CUDA, Metal, and other backends.

Use cases

• write high-performance CUDA kernels in Python
• implement FlashAttention or FlashMLA efficiently
• generate optimized GEMM and dequant GEMM kernels
• compile kernels for NVIDIA, AMD, and Apple Metal GPUs
• autotune tile sizes and layouts for peak performance
• prototype deep learning operators without writing raw CUDA

When to choose

• you need near-SOTA kernel performance with Pythonic productivity
• you target multiple GPU backends (CUDA, Metal, ROCm) from one codebase
• you are building custom attention or matrix-multiply operators
• you want TVM-based compilation with autotuning

When to avoid

• you only need off-the-shelf operators from PyTorch or cuBLAS
• you want a general-purpose programming language rather than a kernel DSL
• your workloads are CPU-only and simple
• you need long-term API stability - the project removes legacy APIs between releases
