Composable Kernel
AMDComposable Kernel provides a programming model and template library for performance-critical machine learning kernels, decomposing GEMM, convolution and attention operations into tile-level pieces that recombine and fuse. It targets AMD GPUs through ROCm and carries a code generator and dispatcher for instance selection. AMD develops it as part of the ROCm stack.

Openness
5 high confidence- license
- MIT(OSI)
- source
- public
- core-gated
- ungated
MIT license body confirmed. The repository is public and unarchived and builds the whole product, and the README describes no paid tier, enterprise edition or license-gated build beside it, so source is public and the core ungated. GitHub reports NOASSERTION because the LICENSE body carries an AMD copyright header; the body is the verbatim MIT text.

LICENSE body carries an AMD copyright header and then runs the verbatim MIT text, which is why the API reports NOASSERTION.

README describes a programming model and template library for performance-critical ML kernels across architectures, with a code generator and dispatcher, shipped as part of ROCm, with no paid tier, enterprise edition or license-key-gated build beside it.
Adoption
1 low confidence543 GitHub stars, which lands in the <1K stars band of the stars scale, level 1. Vendored into ROCm libraries and built from source rather than distributed as a package, so the stars scale is the only instrument; at 543 stars it bands at 1, the floor.

Capability
2 medium confidenceBanded on the category feature matrix as narrow kernel set or single-pass utility. Placed two bands below the tensorrt anchor, on a matrix that bands on how much of the model-to-hardware transformation pipeline a product performs, over how many inputs and targets.
- https://github.com/ROCm/composable_kernel/blob/develop/README.md recorded 2026-08-18
README still documents a programming model and template library for performance-critical ML kernels across architectures, with a code generator and dispatcher, shipped as part of ROCm.
