PROFILE
Borna Ehsani
Eborna contributed to the pytorch/pytorch repository by developing a unified memory allocator for tensors on Apple Silicon, focusing on the MPS backend. Using C++ and leveraging GPU programming and memory management expertise, Eborna refactored the allocator interface to route all tensor allocations through a single shared memory pool, removing distinctions between private and shared pools. This redesign improved performance, reduced memory fragmentation, and simplified resource management. Additionally, Eborna addressed edge cases in matrix operations by ensuring zero-sized inputs return zero-filled matrices, aligning MPS behavior with CPU implementations. The work demonstrated depth in allocator architecture, linear algebra, and cross-backend consistency.
