SparseDitto: An Agentic Sparse Compilation Framework through Architecture-Aware Synthesis on GPUs — Paper

Abstract

-cross Abstract: Sparse matrix computation performance on GPU depends on how representation and execution schedule match the input structure and target hardware. No single implementation consistently dominates across sparsity patterns, operators, and hardwares. Existing sparse compilers and specialized systems cannot cover all of them simultaneously. We present SparseDitto, an agentic sparse compilation framework for sparse matrix computation on GPUs. It jointly synthesizes representation, execution schedule, and hardware mapping in a unified compilation plan. Structural analysis and a learned template-ranking prior guide architecture-aware synthesis. LLM-guided lowering realizes each plan as CUDA code, while target-GPU profiling drives plan refinement. SparseDitto covers multiple operators, e.g., SpMV, SpMM, and SpGEMM, and various representations within one framework. It can also automatically adapt to different hardwares. Across various SuiteSparse matrices, SparseDitto achieves geometric-mean speedups over cuSPARSE of $2.68\times$ on an NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 and $2.79\times$ on an NVIDIA H200 (up to 146.61$\times$). Its generated SpMM kernels accelerate full-batch GCN training by up to $3.39\times$.
