********************************************************************
Composable Kernel User Guide
********************************************************************

The Composable Kernel library provides a programming model for writing performance critical kernels for machine learning workloads across multiple architectures including GPUs and CPUs, through general purpose kernel languages such as `HIP C++ <https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/HIP/en/latest/index.html>`_.

The Composable Kernel repository is located at `https://github.com/ROCm/composable_kernel <https://github.com/ROCm/composable_kernel>`_.
