- GPU programming complexity is increasing with each architecture generation, shifting more orchestration burden onto programmers.
- DSLs like Triton improve accessibility but limit peak performance utilization.
- Frameworks like CUTLASS and CuTe expose everything, leading to complexity and NVIDIA lock-in.
- Mojo breaks the tradeoff by providing direct hardware access and compile-time metaprogramming.
- Structured Mojo Kernels organize kernel logic into three core components: TileIO, TilePipeline, and TileOp.
- Separation of concerns in Mojo Kernels makes GPU kernels easier to write and maintain without sacrificing performance.
- Context managers in Mojo eliminate synchronization bugs by enforcing correct ordering.
- Mojo's abstractions have zero runtime cost, reducing code by 48% while maintaining performance.
- Structured Mojo Kernels are lightweight (~7K lines), portable (NVIDIA + AMD), and open-source.
