Top expert inArtificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Technologies
Mingfei Ma is a Deep Learning Software Engineer with 9 years of experience specializing in CPU performance optimization for PyTorch, where he serves as the CPU performance tech lead and module maintainer. He has driven concrete speedups across quantization, mixed precision (float16/bfloat16), channels-last memory formats, oneDNN/oneMKL integrations, sparse and advanced indexing ops, and multi-core sort/collective routines. His contributions to the flagship pytorch/pytorch repo include efficient memory-copy strategies and benchmark-backed improvements to sampled_addmm, scatter_add, gather and other core CPU kernels. Based in Shanghai and backed by an engineering pedigree from Harbin Institute of Technology and The University of Hong Kong, he pairs deep low-level systems knowledge with practical customer-facing optimization work. Notably, he routinely translates microarchitecture-aware techniques into open-source patches that measurably improve real-world AI workloads.

Contributions summary:Mingfei contributed to optimizing the performance of the PyTorch library, specifically focusing on CPU-based operations. Their work involved implementing efficient memory copy operations within the quantized cat function. They also improved sort multi-core performance by adjusting the grain size and addressed a bug related to weight norm backward calculations. Furthermore, they optimized sampled_addmm, scatter_add, gather and other memory operations, significantly improving overall performance, as demonstrated by benchmark data.
