      Ridge point

      Ridge point

      May 17, 20251 min read

      A point on roofline models that denotes an accelerator hardware’s performance. This is the point where a kernel transitions from being memory-bound to compute-bound for a given hardware.

      A lower number suggests that kernels tend to be compute-bound on a particular hardware.
