PROFILE

Gary Yi-hung Chen

Gary contributed to google/XNNPACK by developing and optimizing RISC-V Vector (RVV) accelerated kernels for sparse matrix multiplication and convolution over a three-month period. He implemented RVV-based microkernels in C and assembly, targeting various matrix and convolution dimensions to enhance inference throughput on RVV-enabled hardware. His work included updating build systems, introducing comprehensive benchmarks and tests, and addressing reliability through overflow prevention and vector initialization fixes. Gary also improved code maintainability by refining code generation and formatting practices. These efforts deepened hardware support for RISC-V architectures and advanced the performance and robustness of XNNPACK’s low-level computational kernels.
