PROFILE
Felix Weiglhofer
Over seven months, contributed to the AliceO2Group/AliceO2 repository by developing and optimizing GPU-accelerated data processing features for high-performance computing workflows. Focused on C++ and shell scripting, delivered robust decoding pipelines, unified GPU and CPU code paths, and enhanced workflow configurability through flexible scripting flags. Improved error handling and observability in embedded systems by replacing assertions with error counters and introducing defensive checks in GPU kernels. Addressed critical bugs affecting data integrity and reliability, such as out-of-bounds reads and row count inaccuracies, while enabling Monte Carlo label propagation for HIP clusters. Prioritized maintainability, performance optimization, and workflow automation throughout the project.

Jun 1, 2026June 2026 monthly summary for AliceO2Group/AliceO2: Deliveries focused on TPC tracking reliability and MC truth preservation. Key features delivered: Monte Carlo label propagation for HIP clusters in the TPC tracking chain, preserving MC truth during reconstruction with updated buffer management and kernel parameters. Major bugs fixed: TPC Cluster Finder reliability and data integrity fixes, including fix for missing header include to restore compilation, clamping raw ADC gain corrections to 1022 to prevent saturation, and correcting time-frame binary search to avoid dropping the last digit (commits aa82e96e75882652af96500467c9ab6cff381f8d, bb290cf8d2573fbab67b846510dc202d61ba71a0, 88564233f124db5f447b4dadbf14fe0c68d4634e). Overall impact: improved data integrity and reconstruction fidelity, reducing downstream debugging and enabling more reliable physics analyses. Technologies/skills demonstrated: GPU/TPC development, HIP-based clustering, Monte Carlo label handling, buffer management, kernel parameter tuning, and robust C++/CUDA-style fixes.
