Addison Alvey-Blanco

I am a fourth year PhD student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where I'm advised by Andreas Kloeckner. I am interested in all things related to GPUs; from writing highly performant kernels to implementing compiler transformations for automatically generating highly performant kernels, and even getting my hands dirty with PTX and SASS.

I like to imagine a world where application engineers, performance engineers, and compiler engineers each have their own level of abstraction to work at via a scheduling language.

If I had more time, I would spend it learning more about randomized numerical linear algebra.

This page is under construction and, one day, I hope to have a write-up of each of my projects I mentioned above and what I learned from them.

As of 9/30/2025 I'm in the process of compiling most of my GPU experiments into a single repo. I'm doing this as part of moving Linux distros, so it'll take some time to fill out but will eventually contain what I hope other people might find useful.
