vllm.kernels.helion.register ¶
vLLM Helion kernel registration with pre-tuned config selection.
This module leverages Helion's internal config selection infrastructure to use pre-tuned configs instead of runtime autotuning.
How Helion Normally Works¶
For each kernel invocation, Helion: 1. Computes a cache key from input arguments 2. Looks up the key in its internal compilation cache 3. On cache miss, runs autotuning to find the best config 4. Compiles and caches the kernel with that config
How We Override It¶
We override two Helion hooks to use pre-tuned configs:
-
key: We provide a key function (derived from config_picker) that computes cache keys matching our pre-tuned config keys. This ensures Helion's internal cache uses keys that correspond to configs we've prepared.
-
autotuner_fn: We provide PresetConfigSearch which, instead of autotuning, simply returns the pre-tuned config for the computed key. On cache miss, Helion calls our autotuner which returns the author-prepared config.
Both hooks use the same config_picker logic to ensure the cache key computed by key matches the config returned by the autotuner.
Key Classes¶
- HelionKernelWrapper: Wraps raw kernel + config_picker, creates configured kernels
- ConfiguredHelionKernel: Platform-specific kernel with pre-tuned configs
- PresetConfigSearch: Custom autotuner that returns pre-tuned configs
ConfiguredHelionKernel ¶
A configured Helion kernel bound to a specific platform.

_create_key_computer ¶
Create a key computer function derived from the config picker.
The returned function receives kernel arguments unpacked (args) to match Helion's key signature (called as self._key_fn(args)).

register_input_generator ¶
register_input_generator(
generator_func: Callable[
[], dict[str, tuple[Any, ...]]
],
) -> Callable[[], dict[str, tuple[Any, ...]]]
Register a function to generate inputs for autotuning and benchmarking.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
generator_func | Callable[[], dict[str, tuple[Any, ...]]] | Function that returns dict[str, tuple] where: - key: Configuration identifier (e.g., "4096", "hidden_4096") - value: Tuple of arguments to pass to the kernel | required |
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
Callable[[], dict[str, tuple[Any, ...]]] | The registered function (for decorator usage) |
Example

run_autotune ¶
Run autotuning for a single input configuration.

PresetConfigSearch ¶
