## About Triton

Triton was originally created by [Philippe Tillet](https://github.com/ptillet) as a research project at **Harvard University**. The project gained significant momentum when he joined OpenAI, who released it as an open-source Python-based DSL in 2021.

This Windows port focuses on **NVIDIA GPUs only** (AMD backend disabled due to LLVM compatibility issues on Windows).
