PROFILE

David Tanner

During their recent work, Daniel Tanner developed hardware-accelerated FP8 E4M3FN upcasting to bf16 for AMD MI300 GPUs within the facebookexperimental/triton repository, enabling efficient use of FP8 data types in operations such as scaled_dot. He implemented a backend compiler conversion path and updated test coverage to ensure robust support for this feature, leveraging C++ and Python for low-level programming and numerical computing. In the fzyzcjy/triton repository, Daniel optimized the AMD HIP backend by fixing the amdgpu-waves-per-eu attribute, guiding LLVM heuristics for more predictable GPU code scheduling. His contributions demonstrated depth in compiler development and GPU programming.
