AMD has launched Helios, a rack-scale system designed to train and run large AI models at massive scale for data centers. The system combines many processors into a single high-powered unit and competes directly with Nvidia's existing rack systems in a market historically dominated by Nvidia. Major companies including Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta have already committed to deploying Helios. AMD's CEO stated that AI accelerator chips are expected to become a massive part of the computing market by 2030, with demand driven by the increasing computational requirements of advanced AI systems.

In this tutorial, we explore TileLang as a high-level Python domain-specific language for designing and compiling performance-oriented GPU kernels through TVM. We begin by validating the CUDA environment and establishing reusable benchmarking and numerical-verification utilities, then progressively implement vector addition, tiled tensor-core matrix multiplication, schedule exploration, fused GEMM epilogues, row-wise softmax, and FlashAttention. Throughout the tutorial, we work directly with Ti
