| 2026 | Flexible Performant Tensor Contractions on GPUsabstractTensor contractions extend the concept of the General Matrix Multiplication (GEMM) to high-dimensional spaces. They enable sophisticated computations in various scientific disciplines. Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are commonly used to accelerate tensor contraction algorithms due to their inherent parallelisability. NVIDIA's cuTENSOR stands as a state-of-the-art library for GPU-based tensor contractions. However, its lack of flexibility limits researchers in tailoring contraction kernels to their specific research needs. This paper presents a novel and flexible implementation of the GEMM-like Tensor Tensor (GETT) multiplication algorithm for tensor contractions in Julia. By repurposing and adapting components of GemmKernels.jl, a versatile library offering customisable and high-performance GEMM kernels for CUDA-enabled GPUs, we construct GEMM-like kernels that cater to the unique requirements of tensor contractions. Despite being entirely written in high-level Julia code and not yet exploiting a range of modern CUDA hardware features, the average performance of our library on standard tensor contractions compares favourably to cuTENSOR's hand-optimised implementations, with outliers in both directions (faster and slower). When flexibility is needed, e.g. to fuse arbitrary elementwise operations into kernels, our library performs up to an order of magnitude faster than cuTENSOR, even on recent, data centre-grade devices such as the RTX 6000 Ada.
