Month 2025-09 — ROCm/aiter: Focused on delivering a more capable and reliable tuning pipeline with clear performance visibility, while advancing kernel tuning for GEMM and FMOE workloads. Key features and fixes below, aligned to business value and technical quality. Key features delivered: - Tuner enhancements and results reporting: added errRatio parameter, profile saving (--profile_file), and in-result display of tflops/bandwidth; refined tuning configurations; improved reliability in profiling/test execution and result reporting; introduced base_tuner file; addressed tuner/interface refinements (e.g., a4w4_gemm tuning adjustments). - Tuning results visibility: implemented a tuning summary for shapes that are tuned successfully or failed, improving traceability and decision-making. Major bugs fixed: - Corrected profiling time calculation when tuning with splitK enabled, improving accuracy of performance metrics. - Fixed tune result handling for a8w8_blockscale_bpreshuffle and related shapes; ensured updated tflops, bandwidth, and errRatio metrics are consistently reported. GEMM and FMOE kernel tuning improvements: - GEMM: improved assembly split-K tuning and error ratio calculations for batched GEMM; addressed splitK tuning in gemm_a4w4_blockscale. - FMOE: refactored tuner for FMOE, added new parameters, and extended gfx950 tuning support. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Enhanced tuning reliability, faster feedback loops, and richer performance reporting, enabling data-driven optimization and faster rollout of tuned configurations. - Improved maintainability and code quality through refactors and lint/compliance fixes; clearer separation of tuning concerns, with a documented base_tuner and streamlined interfaces. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Python/C++-based tuning framework development, parameterization, and configuration management. - Performance profiling, benchmarking, and results reporting (tflops, bandwidth, errRatio). - Code refactoring, cleanups, lint fixes, and collaboration (co-authored commits). - Cross-workload tuning support (GEMM and FMOE) with gfx950 tuning context.
