PROFILE

Benjamin Welton

Worked on the ROCm/rocprofiler-sdk repository to expand hardware support and enhance performance monitoring capabilities, delivering features such as GFX12 performance counter integration and dynamic YAML-based counter definition loading. Improved developer experience by refining documentation, clarifying timing accuracy, and updating terminology for better usability. Leveraged C++, YAML, and Python to implement flexible counter workflows and ensure accurate data collection on new GPU architectures. Additionally, contributed a stability fix to the ROCR Runtime by addressing a signal-handling race condition in low-level C code, reducing the risk of hangs and improving reliability for asynchronous signaling in production runtime environments.

In March 2025, delivered a stability-focused patch to the ROCR Runtime addressing a signal-handling race condition. The fix resets event_age when signals move, ensuring alignment with hsa_event age and preventing scenarios where event_age could exceed the actual event age. This change reduces potential hangs and improves runtime reliability for ROCm users.
