Competitions & Projects

ISC 26 SCC International Supercomputing Conference Student Cluster Competition (In-person)
Team member, primarily responsible for the OpenFOAM challenge, also participated in the llama.cpp challenge February 2026 - June 2026

🏆 6th place overall. \n By 1. rewriting part of MPI with NCCL and fine-tuning to achieve cross-GPU asynchronous communication for cudaManagedMemory; 2. kernel fusion; 3. reducing redundant computations, we achieved a 1.48x speedup on a cluster of 16×A800, which is several times faster than the CPU-only OpenFOAM.\n Implemented data parallelism for llama.cpp.

2026 National College Students Computer System Capability Competition - Intelligent Computing Innovation Design (XianDao Cup)
Team member June 20, 2026 - July 15, 2026 (I actually started on July 10 due to schedule conflict)

Ranked 28th, did not advance to the finals. Optimized the single‑concurrency throughput of Qwen3.5 on a single Sugon DCU(A AMD’s GPU-like compute card). Using various optimization techniques, achieved an average 1.93x throughput improvement across different batch sizes compared to the baseline.

2026 Huawei ICT Challenge
Observer team member April 14, 2026 - April 19, 2026

Participated as an observer and learned about FFTW optimization on an advanced domestic(in China) architecture.

2025 MCC Marine Computing Challenge (hosted by Paratera Tech)
Team member May 2025 - July 2025

🏆 3rd place in the finals. Optimized the CESM software on a domestic(in China) ARM many‑core cluster. Ran ML models for predicting marine chlorophyll on the same cluster.

Turbofold
Contributor

Turbofold is an efficient solution for running Alphafold3 inference on distributed clusters. My main contribution was the design of a sequence‑parallel‑like scheme for the Diffusion Module, and I also participated in the design of efficient Allgather and Alltoall communication.\n The former refers to applying a sequence‑parallel approach to operations like attention on a protein sequence in AF3, similar to LLM inference, which helps with long sequences and low sampling (similar to concurrency in LLMs). The work has not been published.
