PROFILE

Damien Dooley

Worked on integrating KleidiAI-optimized microkernels into the microsoft/onnxruntime repository’s MLAS backend, focusing on accelerating SGEMM and IGEMM operations and enabling dynamic quantized matrix multiplication on ARM SMEs (SME2). Developed new packing and dispatch logic to maximize performance on SME2 hardware, and updated the MLAS API to support modular integration of KleidiAI optimizations. The work leveraged C++ and machine learning expertise, with an emphasis on matrix multiplication, performance optimization, and quantization. This engineering effort established a foundation for hardware-aware optimizations, improving inference efficiency for ARM-based deployments and enhancing the extensibility of ONNX Runtime’s low-level computation backend.
