Zhihao Zhang contributed to the mirage-project/mirage repository by developing and optimizing GPU-accelerated features for deep learning workloads. Over three months, he implemented persistent kernel PTX synchronization optimizations using CUDA and C++, reducing overhead by replacing explicit synchronization with relaxed memory ordering and consolidating atomic operations for maintainability. He also delivered new Mixture-of-Experts kernels tailored for Blackwell GPUs, enhancing scalability and throughput for large models. Zhang addressed critical bugs in long-context attention and SM100 linear layers, improving correctness and enabling larger batch sizes. His work demonstrated depth in performance engineering, parallel computing, and codebase maintainability for advanced machine learning systems.
November 2025 (repo: mirage-project/mirage) focused on stabilizing long-context attention and optimizing the SM100 linear layer, along with a cleanup of the Blackwell implementation. Delivered critical bug fixes that improve correctness, performance, and code maintainability, enabling more reliable large-scale inference and better scalability for long-context workloads. Highlights include fixes to page_indices alignment for long-context generation and enabling large batch sizes in SM100, plus removal of utils.cuh and try_wait_barrier in Blackwell.
