About me
Phil first began working with GPUs in 2011 as a contributor to the ViennaCL library. He then received his B.S. from Telecom SudParis (France) in 2012, his M.S. from NCTU (Taiwan) in 2014, and his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 2020. He joined OpenAI full time in 2020 to pursue his work on the Triton compiler — a project he started in 2018 after being frustrated by the difficulty of writing auto-tuners for matrix multiplications in CUDA. Since then, he grew the Triton language into a reference for block-based programming model, and used it to write all the training kernels that were used by GPT4.
