Composable Kernel Tools

This directory contains utility tools for building, testing, and analyzing Composable Kernel.

These tools are designed to be LLM-agnostic and can be used with any AI assistant or directly from the command line.

Available Tools

ck-docker

Build and test composable_kernel in Docker with ROCm support.

See README_ck-docker.md for details.

Quick start:

# Add to PATH
export PATH="$PATH:$PWD/script/tools"

# Start container and build
ck-docker start
ck-docker build test_amdgcn_mma
ck-docker test test_amdgcn_mma

ck-build-analysis

Analyze Composable Kernel build times using Clang's -ftime-trace profiler.

See README_ck-build-analysis.md for details.

Quick start:

# Add to PATH
export PATH="$PATH:$PWD/script/tools"

# Analyze build time
ck-build-analysis example_convnd_fwd_xdl_fp8

LLM Assistant Integration

These tools can be used as-is with any LLM assistant by providing the tool documentation to the assistant. The assistant can then invoke these tools on your behalf.

For example, you can ask:

"Start the docker container"
"Build and test test_amdgcn_mma"
"Analyze build time for example_convnd_fwd_xdl_fp8"

The assistant will translate your natural language request into the appropriate tool invocation.

Dependencies

ck-docker: Requires Docker and ROCm-capable GPU (for running tests)
ck-build-analysis: Requires Docker, automatically installs Python dependencies (jinja2) via uv

Contributing

When adding new tools to this directory:

Keep them LLM-agnostic (avoid hardcoding references to specific AI assistants)
Provide clear command-line usage documentation
Include examples for both CLI and LLM assistant usage
Follow the existing naming convention and structure
