Advanced GPU Assembly Programming
Most GPU performance problems are not source-code problems. They are machine-code problems.
A kernel can look clean in CUDA or HIP and still lose the war at the hardware level.
The compiler may choose an instruction sequence you did not expect. A branch may split a warp or wavefront into masked paths. A load pattern may explode into extra memory transactions. A tensor pipeline may sit underfed while the code looks “mathematically right.” Occupancy may look healthy while register pressure, wait states, barriers, cache behavior, or issue slots quietly cap throughput.
That is where this book begins.
Advanced GPU Assembly Programming is for advanced CUDA, HIP, AI-systems, HPC, and compiler engineers who need to read GPU machine code, understand NVIDIA and AMD execution behavior, and push kernels closer to the hardware performance ceiling.
This is not an introductory CUDA book.
It is not a beginner HIP guide.
It is not another surface-level explanation of “parallel programming on GPUs.”
This is a low-level technical reference for engineers who already understand kernels and now need to understand what those kernels become after compilation.
If you are optimizing AI inference, LLM kernels, GEMM, attention, scientific workloads, compiler output, CUDA-to-HIP portability, or architecture-specific performance, the question is no longer:
“Does the kernel run?”
The question is:
What is the machine actually doing, and how close is it to the real limit?
Inside, you will learn how to reason about:
- SIMT execution: warps, wavefronts, active masks, divergence, reconvergence, predication, and independent thread scheduling
- Machine code: PTX, SASS, AMD ISA, instruction encoding, disassembly, source correlation, and compiler idioms
- Execution resources: SMs, CUs, schedulers, issue slots, scoreboards, barriers, wait states, register files, and occupancy limits
- Memory behavior: coalescing, global memory, shared memory, LDS, cache policy, HBM bandwidth, alignment, sectors, and bank conflicts
- Tensor and matrix pipelines: tensor cores, MMA, MFMA, TMEM, FP8, FP6, FP4, block scaling, operand staging, and accumulator flow
- Asynchronous execution: cp.async, tensor-memory movement, producer/consumer roles, barriers, staged pipelines, and latency hiding
- Performance evidence: Nsight Compute, Nsight Systems, rocprof, Radeon GPU Profiler, Omniperf, roofline analysis, and microbenchmarking
- Real workloads: high-performance GEMM, attention, reductions, scans, sparse computation, atomics, scatter/gather, and irregular kernels
The value of this book is not that it tells you GPUs are fast.
You already know that.
The value is that it gives you the machinery to diagnose why a kernel is not fast enough.
Why did the compiler emit that instruction sequence?
Why did this memory access pattern create extra traffic?
Why are tensor units idle?
Why did a theoretically good tiling strategy lose throughput?
Why did NVIDIA and AMD behave differently?
Why did a change that looked harmless at source level move the bottleneck somewhere else?
This book helps you connect source code, compiler decisions, disassembly, profiler counters, memory transactions, lane masks, and architectural constraints into one coherent performance model.
Advanced GPU Assembly Programming was written for the engineer who wants the layer beneath CUDA, HIP, Triton, compiler output, and vendor libraries.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
Shipping terms
We ship your order after we received them
for articles on hand latest 24 hours,
for articles with overnight supply latest 48 hours.
In case we need to order an article from our supplier our dispatch time depends on the reception date of the articles, but the articles will be shipped on the same day.
Our goal is to send the ordered articles in the fastest, but also most efficient and secure way to our customers.
