Worked on the openvinotoolkit/openvino repository to address a critical GPU plugin issue involving memory pool corruption during fused elementwise operations. Applied C++ development and GPU programming expertise to perform root-cause analysis, identifying buffer aliasing caused by in-place, optimized-out reshapes. Developed and propagated a robust patch that ensured correct buffer sharing, preventing incorrect inference results and enhancing correctness guarantees. Conducted manual validation and regression testing, confirming no negative impact on performance or memory usage, and introduced targeted unit tests for fused-eltwise scenarios. Collaborated with team members, leveraging AI-assisted analysis and test generation to improve maintainability and overall code quality.
