# KernelBot Competition Data

This dataset contains GPU kernel submissions from the KernelBot competition platform. Submissions are optimized GPU kernels written for specific hardware targets.

## Data Files

### AMD MI300 Submissions
| File | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `submissions.parquet` | All AMD competition submissions |
| `successful_submissions.parquet` | AMD submissions that passed correctness tests |
| `deduplicated_submissions.parquet` | AMD submissions deduplicated by (user, code) |
| `deduplicated_successful_submissions.parquet` | Deduplicated passing AMD submissions |

**AMD Problems:** fp8-gemm, moe (mixture of experts), mla-decode, all2all, gemm+reducescatter, allgather+gemm, mxfp4-mm, moe-mxfp4, mixed-mla

### AMD 1.1M Competition
| File | Size | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| `amd_1_1m_competition_submissions.parquet` | ~699 MB | Deduplicated submissions with code for `amd-mxfp4-mm` (763), `amd-moe-mxfp4` (764), and `amd-mixed-mla` (765) |

### Trimul
| File | Size | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| `trimul_submissions.parquet` | ~120 MB | Deduplicated submissions with code for `trimul` (leaderboard 496) |

`trimul` is a separate mixed-GPU problem and is not grouped with the AMD competition exports.

### Helion B200_Nebius
| File | Size | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| `helion_b200_nebius_submissions.parquet` | ~4 MB | Deduplicated submissions with code for `causal_conv1d` (766), `fp8_quant` (767), `gated_deltanet_chunk_fwd_h` (768), `gated_deltanet_chunk_fwd_o` (769), and `gated_deltanet_recompute_w_u` (770) |

**Measurement note:** these problems were run on `B200_Nebius`, and the measurements for this problem set are brittle. Treat leaderboard scores from this export with extra caution.

### NVIDIA Blackwell NVFP4 Submissions
| File | Size | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| `nvidia_nvfp4_submissions.parquet` | ~1.4 GB | NVFP4 submissions deduplicated by (user, code), with full code content |


**NVFP4 Problems:** gemv (leaderboard 595), gemm (597), dual_gemm (598), modal_dual_gemm (697), group_gemm (730)

**Note on Dual GEMM:** There are two variants of the dual_gemm problem. Midway through the competition, on-prem hardware measurements became unreliable, so a second leaderboard was created on Modal infrastructure. The Modal measurements (leaderboard 697, `modal_nvfp4_dual_gemm`) are more trustworthy.

**Note:** Scores are execution time in seconds. **Lower is better.**

## Helper Scripts

- `analyze_submissions.py` - Python functions for analyzing submissions
- `skills.md` - Documentation for data processing workflows

### Quick Start

```python
from analyze_submissions import load_submissions, top_contestants, author_progression

# Load NVIDIA NVFP4 data
df = load_submissions()

# Get top 20 for a problem
leaders = top_contestants(df, problem_name='nvfp4_gemm', n=20)

# See a user's progression over time
progression = author_progression(df, user_name='username', problem_name='nvfp4_gemm')
```
