NVIDIA has released Triton-to-TileIR, a new backend that bridges OpenAI’s Triton programming language with the company’s recently introduced CUDA Tile architecture. The integration, now available on GitHub under the triton-lang organization, allows machine learning researchers to compile Triton code directly to CUDA Tile IR instead of traditional PTX assembly.The move addresses a persistent bottleneck in AI development: getting peak performance from NVIDIA’s Tensor Cores typically requires deep CUDA expertise that most ML practitioners lack. Triton already simplified GPU kernel development through Python syntax, but still compiled down to thread-level SIMT code. The new backend preserves tile-level semantics throughout compilation, potentially…

Actively managed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are pairing BTC…
