Developed and delivered a Layerwise KV Pooling optimization for the vllm-ascend repository, focusing on reducing overhead in key management, metadata lookups, and HBM address computation for large language models. The solution introduced unified keys, one-time address resolution, and leveraged vectorized NumPy operations to streamline memory and cache management. Additionally, CPU affinity optimization and controlled overlap between data transfer and attention computation were implemented to improve throughput and reduce latency. The work demonstrated expertise in asynchronous programming, distributed systems, and performance optimization, utilizing C++, Python, and shell scripting to address complex system design and NPU optimization challenges within a production environment.
