Chengji Yao

Worked on the pytorch/xla repository to address a critical issue affecting BatchNorm behavior under automatic mixed precision (AMP) on TPUs and GPUs. Focused on deep learning and performance optimization, the developer implemented a fix to ensure correct normalization when lower-precision inputs such as FP16 or BF16 are used alongside FP32 weights. This adjustment prevents incorrect results during mixed-precision training and enhances stability for XLA backends. The solution was developed using C++ and Python, and included the addition of an automated regression test to validate the fix and safeguard against future issues in mixed-precision BatchNorm scenarios.

In January 2025, delivered a critical fix in pytorch/xla for BatchNorm with AMP across precisions. The change ensures correct BatchNorm behavior when using automatic mixed precision on TPUs/GPUs, specifically handling lower-precision inputs (FP16/BF16) when weights are FP32, and includes a regression test to validate the scenario. This mitigates incorrect normalization results under AMP and improves stability for mixed-precision training on XLA backends.
