Worked on the apple/axlearn repository to enhance distributed attention mechanisms and optimize decoder logits computation for large-scale deep learning models. Developed context-parallel attention using all-gather for sequence-sharded Q/K/V, which improved multi-device training throughput and cross-device scalability. Refactored the decoder to modularize logits computation, introducing chunked processing to reduce memory usage during long-sequence training and enabling easier testing and component reuse. Focused on performance profiling, benchmarking TPU FlashAttention kernels, and improving robustness of splash attention across devices. Leveraged Python, JAX, and distributed computing techniques to deliver more efficient, maintainable, and scalable machine learning infrastructure for sequence modeling tasks.
