What is the role of Inductor in torch.compile architecture?
Updated May 17, 2026
Short answer
TorchInductor is the backend compiler that generates optimized kernels from captured graphs.
Deep explanation
After TorchDynamo captures Python execution into FX graphs, TorchInductor lowers them into low-level loop-based kernels (Triton/CUDA). It performs fusion, memory planning, and vectorization to maximize hardware utilization.
