abstract: "Iris is a Triton-based framework providing SHMEM-like Remote Memory Access (RMA) primitives for multi-GPU programming. Developed by AMD Research and Advanced Development, it enables intuitive inter-GPU communication through a simple and expressive API that makes distributed GPU programming as straightforward as single-GPU development. The framework supports both standard Triton and experimental Gluon backends, offering fine-grained control over memory access patterns and communication–computation overlap, with support for AMD MI300X, MI350X, and MI355X accelerators."
