Worked on the ROCm/aiter repository to deliver advanced quantization and performance optimizations for deep learning kernels. Over three months, developed FP8 and FP4 GEMM kernel support, modularized the codebase, and introduced unified quantization modes for fused attention and KV-cache paths. Leveraged C++, CUDA, and Python to refactor build systems, enable header-only kernel designs, and streamline API integration. Addressed build compatibility in CK-free environments and expanded automated test coverage for quantized workflows. The work improved memory efficiency, reduced build friction, and enabled scalable deployment of next-generation models, demonstrating depth in backend development, GPU programming, and deep learning operations.

Dec 1, 2024December 2024 delivered substantive business value in ROCm/aiter by delivering FP8-optimized compute paths, modernizing the codebase, and stabilizing foundational ops for scalable models. Key outcomes include FP8 GEMM kernel support with code generation for CK A8W8 kernels, build-time kernel inclusion control via PREBUILD_KERNELS, and expanded FP8 test coverage; a broad codebase modularization and API refactor introducing new activation/cache/custom ops, MoE, positional encoding, RMSNorm, and API name updates for layernorm; merged and fortified attention pathways with MoE sorting and gemm_op_a8w8 refinements, and consolidation of paged_attention; and a critical transpose_operator bug fix ensuring correct module naming and CUDA source path resolution. These efforts collectively improve performance for FP8 paths, enable faster feature iterations, enhance MoE/attention scalability, and reduce build-time friction, positioning the project for accelerated delivery of next-gen models.

Nov 1, 2024In November 2024, ROCm/aiter delivered a key performance-oriented refactor of the CK A8W8 GEMM path toward a header-only design, unlocking faster builds and easier maintenance. The work focused on compile-time improvements and reducing overhead in the GEMM kernel path through file renaming and explicit instantiation. This lays the groundwork for broader header-only GEMM kernels and more rapid iteration cycles, aligning with business goals of faster development cycles and scalable kernel deployment.
