Generating high-performance GPU kernels remains challenging due to the need for both correctness and hardware-aware optimization. While large language models (LLMs) show promise in code generation, they often fail to produce kernels that are both correct and efficient. We propose Kernel Foundry, a diagnosis-driven evolutionary framework for automatic GPU kernel optimization. Our method combines expert-guided, retrieval-augmented initialization with a multi-island evolutionary search, where candidate kernels are iteratively refined using structured diagnostic feedback. A centralized experience library accumulates reusable optimization knowledge to guide subsequent evolution, while explicit mechanisms prevent cheating behaviors that bypass kernel-level computation. Experiments on KernelBench show that our method consistently improves both correctness and performance over strong baselines, achieving up to 100% correctness on Level~2.
