+
+Custom Metal Kernels
+====================
+
+MLX supports writing custom Metal kernels through the Python and C++ APIs.
+
+Simple Example
+--------------
+
+.. currentmodule:: mlx.core
+
+Let's write a custom kernel that computes ``exp`` elementwise:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+  source = """
+      uint elem = thread_position_in_grid.x;
+      T tmp = inp[elem];
+      out[elem] = metal::exp(tmp);
+  """
+
+  kernel = mx.fast.metal_kernel(
+      name="myexp",
+      input_names=["inp"],
+      output_names=["out"],
+      source=source,
+  )
+
+  def exp_elementwise(a: mx.array):
+      outputs = kernel(
+          inputs=[a],
+          template=[("T", mx.float32)],
+          grid=(a.size, 1, 1),
+          threadgroup=(256, 1, 1),
+          output_shapes=[a.shape],
+          output_dtypes=[a.dtype],
+      )
+      return outputs[0]
+
+  a = mx.random.normal(shape=(4, 16)).astype(mx.float16)
+  b = exp_elementwise(a)
+  assert mx.allclose(b, mx.exp(a))
+
+Every time you make a kernel, a new Metal library is created and possibly
+JIT compiled. To reduce the overhead from that, build the kernel once with
+:func:`fast.metal_kernel` and then use it many times.
+
+.. note::
+   Only pass the body of the Metal kernel in ``source``. The function
+   signature is generated automatically.
+
+The full function signature will be generated using:
+
+* The shapes/dtypes of ``inputs``
+    In the above, ``a`` is an ``mx.array`` of type ``mx.float16`` and we pass it with the key ``inp``
+    so we will add ``const device float16_t* inp`` to the signature.
+    ``inp_shape``, ``inp_strides`` and ``inp_ndim`` are also added for convenience if they are present
+    in ``source``.
+* The list of ``output_dtypes``
+    In the above, ``out`` is an ``mx.array`` of type ``mx.float16``
+    so we add ``device float16_t* out``.
+* Template parameters passed using ``template``
+    In the above, ``template=[("T", mx.float32)]`` adds a template of ``template <typename T>`` to the function
+    and instantiates the template with ``custom_kernel_myexp_float<float>``.
+    Template parameters can be ``mx.core.Dtype``, ``int`` or ``bool``.
+* Metal attributes used in ``source`` such as ``[[thread_position_in_grid]]``
+    These will be added as function arguments.
+    All the attributes defined in Table 5.8 of the `Metal Shading Language Specification <https://developer.apple.com/metal/Metal-Shading-Language-Specification.pdf>`_ are supported.
+
+Putting this all together, the generated function signature for ``myexp`` is as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: cpp
+
+  template <typename T>
+  [[kernel]] void custom_kernel_myexp_float(
+    const device float16_t* inp [[buffer(0)]],
+    device float16_t* out [[buffer(1)]],
+    uint3 thread_position_in_grid [[thread_position_in_grid]]) {
+
+          uint elem = thread_position_in_grid.x;
+          T tmp = inp[elem];
+          out[elem] = metal::exp(tmp);
+
+  }
+
+  template [[host_name("custom_kernel_myexp_float")]] [[kernel]] decltype(custom_kernel_myexp_float<float>) custom_kernel_myexp_float<float>;
+
+Note: ``grid`` and ``threadgroup`` are parameters to the Metal `dispatchThreads
+<https://developer.apple.com/documentation/metal/mtlcomputecommandencoder/2866532-dispatchthreads>`_
+function. This means we will launch ``mx.prod(grid)`` threads, subdivided into
+``threadgroup`` size threadgroups.  For optimal performance, each thread group
+dimension should be less than or equal to the corresponding grid dimension.
+
+Passing ``verbose=True`` to :func:`ast.metal_kernel.__call__` will print the
+generated code for debugging purposes.
+
+Using Shape/Strides
+-------------------
+
+:func:`fast.metal_kernel` supports an argument ``ensure_row_contiguous`` which
+is ``True`` by default. This will copy the array inputs if needed
+before the kernel is launched to ensure that the memory layout is row
+contiguous.  Generally this makes writing the kernel easier, since we don't
+have to worry about gaps or the ordering of the dims when indexing.
+
+If we want to avoid this copy, :func:`fast.metal_kernel` automatically passes
+``a_shape``, ``a_strides`` and ``a_ndim`` for each input array ``a`` if any are
+present in ``source``. We can then use MLX's built in indexing utils to fetch
+the right elements for each thread.
+
+Let's convert ``myexp`` above to support arbitrarily strided arrays without
+relying on a copy from ``ensure_row_contiguous``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+   
+  source = """
+      uint elem = thread_position_in_grid.x;
+      // Utils from `mlx/backend/metal/kernels/utils.h` are automatically included
+      uint loc = elem_to_loc(elem, inp_shape, inp_strides, inp_ndim);
+      T tmp = inp[loc];
+      // Output arrays are always row contiguous
+      out[elem] = metal::exp(tmp);
+  """
+
+  kernel = mx.fast.metal_kernel(
+      name="myexp_strided",
+      input_names=["inp"],
+      output_names=["out"],
+      source=source,
+      ensure_row_contiguous=False,
+  )
+
+  def exp_elementwise(a: mx.array):
+      outputs = kernel(
+          inputs=[a],
+          template=[("T", mx.float32)],
+          grid=(a.size, 1, 1),
+          threadgroup=(256, 1, 1),
+          output_shapes=[a.shape],
+          output_dtypes=[a.dtype],
+      )
+      return outputs[0]
+
+  a = mx.random.normal(shape=(4, 16)).astype(mx.float16)
+  # make non-contiguous
+  a = a[::2]
+  b = exp_elementwise(a)
+  assert mx.allclose(b, mx.exp(a))
+
+Complex Example
+-----------------------------
+
+Let's implement a more complex example: ``grid_sample`` in ``"bilinear"`` mode.
+
+We'll start with the following MLX implementation using standard ops:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+  def grid_sample_ref(x, grid):
+      N, H_in, W_in, _ = x.shape
+      ix = ((grid[..., 0] + 1) * W_in - 1) / 2
+      iy = ((grid[..., 1] + 1) * H_in - 1) / 2
+
+      ix_nw = mx.floor(ix).astype(mx.int32)
+      iy_nw = mx.floor(iy).astype(mx.int32)
+
+      ix_ne = ix_nw + 1
+      iy_ne = iy_nw
+
+      ix_sw = ix_nw
+      iy_sw = iy_nw + 1
+
+      ix_se = ix_nw + 1
+      iy_se = iy_nw + 1
+
+      nw = (ix_se - ix)    * (iy_se - iy)
+      ne = (ix    - ix_sw) * (iy_sw - iy)
+      sw = (ix_ne - ix)    * (iy    - iy_ne)
+      se = (ix    - ix_nw) * (iy    - iy_nw)
+
+      I_nw = x[mx.arange(N)[:, None, None], iy_nw, ix_nw, :]
+      I_ne = x[mx.arange(N)[:, None, None], iy_ne, ix_ne, :]
+      I_sw = x[mx.arange(N)[:, None, None], iy_sw, ix_sw, :]
+      I_se = x[mx.arange(N)[:, None, None], iy_se, ix_se, :]
+
+      mask_nw = (iy_nw >= 0) & (iy_nw <= H_in - 1) & (ix_nw >= 0) & (ix_nw <= W_in - 1)
+      mask_ne = (iy_ne >= 0) & (iy_ne <= H_in - 1) & (ix_ne >= 0) & (ix_ne <= W_in - 1)
+      mask_sw = (iy_sw >= 0) & (iy_sw <= H_in - 1) & (ix_sw >= 0) & (ix_sw <= W_in - 1)
+      mask_se = (iy_se >= 0) & (iy_se <= H_in - 1) & (ix_se >= 0) & (ix_se <= W_in - 1)
+
+      I_nw *= mask_nw[..., None]
+      I_ne *= mask_ne[..., None]
+      I_sw *= mask_sw[..., None]
+      I_se *= mask_se[..., None]
+
+      output = nw[..., None] * I_nw + ne[..., None] * I_ne + sw[..., None] * I_sw + se[..., None] * I_se
+
+      return output
+
+Now let's use :func:`custom_function` together with :func:`fast.metal_kernel`
+to write a fast GPU kernel for both the forward and backward passes.
+
+First we'll implement the forward pass as a fused kernel:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+

+Since we decorated ``grid_sample`` with :func:`custom_function`, we can now
+define its custom vjp transform so MLX can differentiate it.
+
+The backwards pass requires atomically updating ``x_grad``/``grid_grad`` and so
+requires a few extra :func:`fast.metal_kernel` features:
+
+* ``init_value=0``
+    Initialize all of the kernel's outputs to this value before it runs. This allows us to update only part of the output arrays with the kernel.
+
+* ``atomic_outputs=True``
+    Designate all of the kernel outputs as ``atomic`` in the function signature. 
+    This means we can use Metal's ``atomic`` features to simultaneously update the ``x_grad`` and ``grid_grad`` arrays from multiple threadgroups. 
+    See section 6.15 of the `Metal Shading Language Specification <https://developer.apple.com/metal/Metal-Shading-Language-Specification.pdf>`_ for more details.
+
+We can then implement the backwards pass as follows:

+
+Profiling is a key step for performance optimization. You can build MLX with
+the ``MLX_METAL_DEBUG`` option to improve the Metal debugging and
+optimization workflow. The ``MLX_METAL_DEBUG`` debug option:
+
+* Records source during Metal compilation, for later inspection while
+  debugging.
+* Labels Metal objects such as command queues, improving capture readability.
+
+To build with debugging enabled in Python prepend
+``CMAKE_ARGS="-DMLX_METAL_DEBUG=ON"`` to the build call.
+
+The :func:`metal.start_capture` function initiates a capture of all MLX GPU
+work.
+
+.. note::
+
+   To capture a GPU trace you must run the application with
+   ``MTL_CAPTURE_ENABLED=1``.
+
+.. code-block:: python

+
+    a = mx.random.uniform(shape=(512, 512))
+    b = mx.random.uniform(shape=(512, 512))

+Metal Logging
+=============
+
+In debug builds, MLX compiles Metal kernels with ``os_log`` enabled so shader
+warnings and debug messages are visible during development.
+
+.. note::
+    Metal logging is only available with Metal 3.2 or higher (macOS 15 and up,
+    iOS 18 and up).
+
+To enable logging from kernels, first make sure to build in debug mode:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    DEBUG=1 python -m pip install -e .
+
+Then, in the kernel source code include MLX's logging shim and use
+``mlx::os_log``:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+    #include "mlx/backend/metal/kernels/logging.h"
+
+    constant mlx::os_log logger("mlx", "my_kernel");
+
+    kernel void my_kernel(/* ... */) {
+    // ...
+      logger.log_debug("unexpected state: idx=%u", idx);
+    }
+
+When you run the program, set the Metal log level to your desired level and
+forward logs to ``stderr``:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    MTL_LOG_LEVEL=MTLLogLevelDebug MTL_LOG_TO_STDERR=1 python script.py

+
+Using MLX in C++
+================
+
+You can use MLX in a C++ project with CMake.
+
+.. note::
+
+  This guide is based one the following `example using MLX in C++ 
+  <https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx/tree/main/examples/cmake_project>`_
+
+First install MLX:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  pip install -U mlx
+
+You can also install the MLX Python package from source or just the C++
+library. For more information see the :ref:`documentation on installing MLX
+<build_and_install>`.
+
+Next make an example program in ``example.cpp``: 
+
+.. code-block:: C++
+
+  #include <iostream>
+
+  #include "mlx/mlx.h"
+
+  namespace mx = mlx::core;
+
+  int main() {
+    auto x = mx::array({1, 2, 3});
+    auto y = mx::array({1, 2, 3});
+    std::cout << x + y << std::endl;
+    return 0;
+  }
+
+The next step is to setup a CMake file in ``CMakeLists.txt``:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+  cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.27)
+
+  project(example LANGUAGES CXX)
+
+  set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
+  set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)
+
+
+Depending on how you installed MLX, you may need to tell CMake where to
+find it. 
+
+If you installed MLX with Python, then add the following to the CMake file:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+  find_package(
+    Python 3.9
+    COMPONENTS Interpreter Development.Module
+    REQUIRED)
+  execute_process(
+    COMMAND "${Python_EXECUTABLE}" -m mlx --cmake-dir
+    OUTPUT_STRIP_TRAILING_WHITESPACE
+    OUTPUT_VARIABLE MLX_ROOT)
+
+If you installed the MLX C++ package to a system path, then CMake should be
+able to find it. If you installed it to a non-standard location or CMake can't
+find MLX then set ``MLX_ROOT`` to the location where MLX is installed:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+  set(MLX_ROOT "/path/to/mlx/")
+
+Next, instruct CMake to find MLX:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+  find_package(MLX CONFIG REQUIRED)
+
+Finally, add the ``example.cpp`` program as an executable and link MLX.
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+  add_executable(example example.cpp)
+  target_link_libraries(example PRIVATE mlx)
+
+You can build the example with:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+  cmake --build build
+
+And run it with:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  ./build/example
+
+Note ``find_package(MLX CONFIG REQUIRED)`` sets the following variables:

+Binary Size Minimization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To produce a smaller binary use the CMake flags ``CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MinSizeRel``
+and ``BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON``.
+
+The MLX CMake build has several additional options to make smaller binaries.
+For example, if you don't need the CPU backend or support for safetensors and
+GGUF, you can do:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+  cmake .. \
+    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MinSizeRel \
+    -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON \
+    -DMLX_BUILD_CPU=OFF \
+    -DMLX_BUILD_SAFETENSORS=OFF \
+    -DMLX_BUILD_GGUF=OFF \
+    -DMLX_METAL_JIT=ON
+
+THE ``MLX_METAL_JIT`` flag minimizes the size of the MLX Metal library which
+contains pre-built GPU kernels. This substantially reduces the size of the
+Metal library by run-time compiling kernels the first time they are used in MLX
+on a given machine. Note run-time compilation incurs a cold-start cost which can
+be anwywhere from a few hundred millisecond to a few seconds depending on the
+application. Once a kernel is compiled, it will be cached by the system. The
+Metal kernel cache persists across reboots.
+
+Linux
+^^^^^
+
+To build from source on Linux (CPU only), install the BLAS and LAPACK headers.
+For example on Ubuntu, run the following:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   apt-get update -y
+   apt-get install libblas-dev liblapack-dev liblapacke-dev -y
+
+From here follow the instructions to install either the :ref:`Python <python
+install>` or :ref:`C++ <cpp install>` APIs.
+
+CUDA
+^^^^
+
+To build from source on Linux with CUDA, install the BLAS and LAPACK headers
+and the CUDA toolkit. For example on Ubuntu, run the following:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu2204/x86_64/cuda-keyring_1.1-1_all.deb
+   dpkg -i cuda-keyring_1.1-1_all.deb
+   apt-get update -y
+   apt-get -y install cuda-toolkit-12-9
+   apt-get install libblas-dev liblapack-dev liblapacke-dev libcudnn9-dev-cuda-12 -y
+
+
+When building either the Python or C++ APIs make sure to pass the cmake flag
+``MLX_BUILD_CUDA=ON``. For example, to build the Python API run:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+  CMAKE_ARGS="-DMLX_BUILD_CUDA=ON" pip install -e ".[dev]"
+
+To build the C++ package run:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   mkdir -p build && cd build
+   cmake .. -DMLX_BUILD_CUDA=ON && make -j
