Worked on the ROCm/aiter repository to optimize GPU kernel performance for non-contiguous KV cache layouts in fused QK-norm-RoPE-cache paths. Developed stride-aware indexing and layout logic in C++ and CUDA, enabling support for multiple KV cache memory layouts by considering block, token, and head strides. Enhanced reliability and maintainability by expanding unit tests to verify parity across kv-first, blocks-first, and packed-head-dim configurations. Addressed edge cases such as blocksize handling and improved code quality through formatting and linting. These efforts improved data access patterns, reduced layout-related risk, and enabled more flexible, robust deployment of quantized and shuffled fusion workloads.
July 2026 monthly summary for ROCm/aiter: Delivered stride-aware indexing and KV-cache layout parity for the fused QK-norm-RoPE-cache kernel, enabling support for multiple KV cache memory layouts (kv-first, blocks-first, packed-head-dim) by updating kernel logic to consider token and head strides in addition to block strides. Expanded unit tests to verify parity across layouts, strengthening reliability across layout configurations for quantized/shuffled fusion paths. This work reduces layout-related risk, enables more flexible deployment of KV cache layouts, and sets the stage for performance gains in inference workloads.

June 2026 monthly summary for ROCm/aiter: Delivered stride-aware KV cache layout optimization for non-contiguous layouts in the fused_qk_norm_rope_cache_pts_quant_shuffle path. Implemented stride-aware offsets for the KV cache block dimension, added unit tests verifying parity and correctness against the original layout, and performed minor readability and formatting cleanups. Fixed a blocksize=0 edge-case in the non-shuffle KV write path, improving robustness. These efforts enhance data access patterns and reliability for non-contiguous workloads while maintaining CI stability and code quality.
