Vector Addition
=================
In this tutorial, we will see how to construct a simple, high-performance vector addition using Triton. You will learn:
* The basic syntax of the Triton programming language
* The best practices for creating PyTorch custom operators using the `triton.kernel` Python API
* The best practices for validating and benchmarking custom ops against native reference implementations
In this tutorial, you will write a simple, high-performance vector addition using Triton and learn about:
- The basic syntax of the Triton programming language
- The best practices for creating PyTorch custom operators using the :code:`triton.kernel` Python API
- The best practices for validating and benchmarking custom ops against native reference implementations
