AI Infrastructure Seminars

How can we train faster, run better, and serve for less?

From kernels and compilers to distributed systems and collective communication, and from model serving to reinforcement learning systems, this seminar series connects the ideas and engineering behind large-scale AI training and inference.

Four Topics, Four Levels

01

Kernel & ML Compiler

Kernel & Operator

Start with GPU architecture and CUDA, then follow layout, data reuse, and pipelining through high-performance GEMM, Attention, and MoE kernels. Along the way, see how DSLs and ML compilers make performance engineering more productive and increasingly automatic.

  • CUDA
  • Triton
  • TileLang
  • Tensor Core
  • Warp Specialization
  • Pipeline Ordering
  • ML Compiler
02

Interconnect & Communication

Communication

Study interconnects and collective communication from multiple layers, and understand how they determine the real efficiency of large-scale AI systems.

  • RDMA
  • NCCL
  • Scale-Up
  • Scale-Out
  • Network Fabric
  • Memory-Storage Co-design
03

LLM Serving & Inference

Serving

Use KV cache, scheduling, and parallelism as the main threads for understanding inference optimization, then connect those ideas to the architecture of real serving systems.

  • KV Cache Centric Systems
  • Batching
  • Prefill-Decode Disaggregation
  • Speculative Decoding
  • vLLM
04

Distributed Reinforcement Learning Systems

RL Systems

When training, inference, rewards, and environments all run together, learn to reason about tail latency, resource scheduling, weight synchronization, fault tolerance, and training-inference consistency as one system.

  • PPO
  • veRL
  • Rollout
  • Agentic RL
  • Training-Inference Consistency
  • Distributed RL Systems
