Worked on the IBM/velox repository to implement hardware-aware optimizations targeting NVIDIA Grace CPUs based on the Neoverse V2 architecture. Developed support for hardware-specific compiler flags in build systems using Shell, enabling cryptography extensions and generating more efficient instructions tailored to Grace environments. Ensured robust fallback compatibility for other Neoverse V2 platforms, maintaining broad support while advancing Grace readiness. Collaborated closely with CPU architecture and compiler teams to align build and test workflows, reducing deployment risk and streamlining future Grace-based releases. The work focused on compiler flags, build systems, and CPU architecture, with no major bugs reported during the development period.
