Work History

December 2025

1 Commits

Dec 1, 2025

December 2025 focused on ROCm stability and large-tensor robustness for PyTorch. Delivered robust handling of torch.nonzero for large tensors on ROCm and updated batch normalization to ROCm-compatible pathways, including switching to torch.ops.aten.miopen_batch_norm on ROCm. Also unskipped and fixed ROCm-related tests (PR 169827) and addressed issues identified in tests 168878, 168879, 168553, and 168554. These changes improve cross-hardware reliability, reduce release risk, and extend ROCm support for production workloads.

Jun 1, 2025

June 2025 monthly summary for pytorch/pytorch focusing on ROCm-enabled performance and testing. Key features delivered include: (1) Batched eigen decomposition optimization on ROCm (syevD_batched) via rocSolver to accelerate batched eigenvalue workloads for selected data types and batch sizes; (2) BF16 NCHW mixed batch normalization support in MIOpen for ROCm 6.4+ with version gating and BN logic adjustments to improve DL workflow efficiency; (3) BatchNorm tests for 2D and 3D NCHW to ensure correctness across data types and configurations. Impact: improved throughput for batched linear algebra, expanded mixed-precision support, and stronger regression safety through comprehensive test coverage. Technologies demonstrated: ROCm, rocSolver, MIOpen, BF16, NCHW data layouts, 2D/3D BatchNorm, and test automation.
