Atal worked on the Tencent/ncnn repository, focusing on low-level performance engineering for neural network inference on emerging hardware platforms. Over three months, Atal delivered vectorized neural network operations for RISC-V, including CELU activation and bias addition, and implemented half-precision storage to improve efficiency. Using C++ and leveraging RISC-V vector extensions and LASX SIMD instructions, Atal optimized mathematical and trigonometric functions for Loongarch, reducing inference latency. Additionally, Atal developed a hardware-aware ShuffleChannel layer for RISC-V, enhancing channel shuffle performance. The work demonstrated strong skills in C++ development, parallel programming, and neural network optimization, with careful attention to maintainability and integration.
