HARGO: Heterogeneity-Aware Reward-Guided Optimization for RL Post-Training of LLMs on HPC Tasks

Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) can equip large language models (LLMs) with domain knowledge for high-performance computing (HPC) tasks such as data race detection and benchmark question answering. However, knowledge alone does not guarantee task-appropriate behavior: the same SFT model that correctly classifies 88.65\% of C/C++ data race samples produces verbose, imprecise answers to factual quer…
