Asaf Ezra is backing zystem, Inc., the team behind zymtrace, as an investor and advisor
We’re thrilled to welcome Asaf Ezra, CEO & Co-founder of Intel Granulate, as an investor and advisor at zystem.
Asaf brings deep expertise in systems performance and real-time optimization. At Granulate, he pioneered a new approach to runtime efficiency — one that strongly aligns with our work on zymtrace.
We’re building zymtrace to deliver frictionless, continuous profiling across CPU- and GPU-bound workloads, with a laser focus on maximizing GPU efficiency.
Idle GPU cycles mean slower training, wasted compute spend, and unnecessary energy consumption. zymtrace provides deep visibility into the inner workings of CUDA — disassembling CUDA SASS mnemonics, exposing GPU stall reasons, and correlating them with the CPU traces that launched the (CUDA) kernels. This level of insight empowers teams crafting custom CUDA kernels or running inference at scale to pinpoint inefficiencies across the entire compute stack.
Asaf’s perspective is already shaping how we think about recommendations and insight generation. His support is bringing greater clarity to the zymtrace roadmap — moving us closer to fully automated, intelligent diagnostics that enable our customers to achieve higher throughput with fewer GPUs.
He shares:
Maximizing GPU efficiency is critical as AI workloads push the limits of compute and power. zymtrace delivers the deep visibility needed to reduce costs and unlock performance. The zystem team’s clarity and technical depth truly stand out — I’m excited to support their mission.
Thank you, Asaf, for letting us stand on your broad shoulders.
