PROFILE

Akhil Kumar M

Worked on enhancing the stability of large corpus downloads in the google/clusterfuzz repository by addressing memory and corpus management challenges. Focused on increasing the BOT_TMPDIR memory allocation to 1GB and refactoring the corpus synchronization process to utilize a dedicated fuzzer-testcases directory with a 1.25GB tmpfs mount. These changes, implemented using Python and shell scripting within a Linux environment, reduced the occurrence of “No space left on device” errors during large-scale corpus synchronization. The improvements enabled more reliable handling of large corpora without requiring infrastructure changes, demonstrating skills in DevOps, containerization, and memory management for backend systems.

January 2026 — google/clusterfuzz: Stability improvements for large corpus downloads via memory and corpus-management enhancements. Key changes include boosting BOT_TMPDIR memory to 1GB to prevent OSError: No space left on device during large corpus downloads, and refactoring corpus synchronization to use clusterfuzz/bot/inputs/fuzzer-testcases with a 1.25GB tmpfs mount for fuzzer-testcases. These changes improve reliability, reduce downtime during corpus sync, and enable handling larger corpora with existing infrastructure. Technologies demonstrated: Linux tmpfs/mem management, clusterfuzz internal corpus management, and scripting around _sync_corpus_to_disk.
