Over the past 13 months, contributed to sarchlab/akita and sarchlab/mgpusim by architecting modular simulation frameworks and GPU emulation platforms. Focused on backend development and system design, the work included refactoring memory subsystems, implementing configurable controllers, and enhancing observability through tracing and milestone APIs. Leveraged Go and C++ to deliver robust concurrency, performance analysis, and data recording features, while maintaining CI/CD pipelines for reliable releases. Improvements to frontend tooling and UI/UX, including Daisen and CLI utilities, enabled faster iteration and onboarding. The technical approach emphasized maintainability, testability, and scalability, supporting advanced benchmarking and multi-architecture simulation scenarios.
June 2026 was a cross-repo delivery cycle focused on platform stabilization, performance improvements, and feature-rich traces for Akita-powered Mgpusim and Daisen. Major work centered on Akita v5.x porting, Daisen Bot and Daisen2 UX and tooling, expanded tracing and memory subsystem instrumentation, and MI300A/X calibration workflows with dashboards. The month also included CI reliability enhancements to sustain longer-running benchmarks and large-scale traces. Key outcomes include: steady progress toward Akita v5 integration with full directory/indexing capacity (set-index hashing fixes), multi-phase Daisen Bot capabilities (planning, tooling, front-end integration, and inline evidence), a scalable component-scoped view in Daisen2 with topology and location drill-down, richer tracing with buffer-task conventions and milestone coverage, and robust MI300A/X calibration pipelines with live dashboards and CI-ready ground-truth data.
