Borna Ehsani
Worked on the pytorch/pytorch repository to enhance memory management and performance for Apple Silicon devices, focusing on the MPS backend. Developed a unified memory allocator for tensors by refactoring the allocator interface, removing private buffer pools, and routing all allocations through a single shared allocator. This approach reduced memory fragmentation and improved predictability across workloads. Addressed edge cases in Metal Performance Shaders by ensuring matrix operations with zero-sized inputs return zero-filled matrices, aligning GPU and CPU behavior. Demonstrated expertise in C++ development, GPU programming, and performance optimization, delivering features that improved stability, correctness, and maintainability of PyTorch on Apple Silicon.
