On Monday, June 15, PyTorch Foundation project Helion is hosting a Helion DSL Tutorial at PLDI 2026 (47th ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation) in Denver. Helion is a Python-based kernel DSL that supports multiple backends across NVIDIA, AMD, Google TPU, and Intel.
This workshop is a fantastic opportunity for compiler researchers, kernel authors, and ML systems engineers to dive deep into the technology. This will be an entirely interactive session where attendees will get to write, autotune, and run real Helion kernels live.
