About Prasad Apte

Looking for opportunities only in and around Austin, TX or remote. • Strong modern C++, data structures and algorithms. • Experience and deeper understanding of multi-threaded programming nuances, synchronization primitives, lock-free technics and memory ordering. • Experience developing runtime for GPGPU computing: HSA Runtime and OpenCL backend(user mode driver) – besides coding in the runtime itself, also required working in PAL layer(AMD specific), understanding of some DRM APIs and familiarity with GPU internals like internal buses, caches, compute and command processing engine, command queue, PM4 Packet format and such. • Experience working on engineering boards – device bring up – See AMD experience below. • Avid interest in Linux platform level development TCP/IP stack, NFS protocol, low-level runtime development and aspiring kernel/Linux-internal developer. • Contributed to develop Concurrency Runtime (ConcRt), part of Microsoft’s C-Runtime msvcr100.dll (now msvcrt120 or up) was shipped during Visual Studio 2010. • Linux Proficiency: gdb, perf(Linux profiler), strace, make, CMake, git, bash-scripting, sed, awk, etc. • Intermediate experience in OpenGL(familiarity with Vulkan). Worked on scene-graph in a game-engine, attaching Spatial Audio to 3D objects. Familiarity with using scene-graph, 3D math, main game-engine loop. • Demonstrated success developing clean, intuitive, and powerful code. Able to strategize and plan a core foundation and Framework for projects. • Years of software design and development experience on Windows(past) & Linux(recent). Career Highlights: • HSA Runtime - Member of the main developer team (HAS-Rt included in AMD's ROMm/ROCr runtime) https://hsafoundation.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/HSA-Runtime-1.2.pdf • Group Patent - Metrology and Analysis of Two Dimensional SEM Patterns • ConcRt Runtime (Microsoft C++ parallel runtime)- Member of the main developer team. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/parallel/concrt/concurrency-runtime?view=msvc-170
