Tareq Malas is a Research Scientist specializing in ML systems and high-performance computing with 11 years of experience optimizing large-scale scientific and recommendation workloads. At Meta he drives hardware/software co-design and cross-stack quantization to accelerate recommendation models on Meta’s MTIA accelerators, and he builds benchmarking and profiling frameworks that inform system-wide optimizations. His background includes enabling NAMD and Amber for exascale and production supercomputers at Intel and applied research on manycore processors at Berkeley Lab, giving him deep expertise across CPUs, GPUs, and custom accelerators. He combines low-level performance modeling and pre-silicon studies with practical runtime and compiler collaboration to remove system bottlenecks. Passionate about applying efficiency gains to science, climate, and healthcare, he brings a rare blend of HPC domain knowledge and production ML systems engineering. An often-overlooked strength is his track record of translating research-grade performance insights into deployable tooling that scales across massive infrastructures.
