RuQing (G) Xu is a 2nd year postgrad in physics now in the University of Tokyo. (https://qsl.r-xu.dns-cloud.net). I'm primarily working on computational sciences in a solid state physics context, with special focus on variational wavefunction optimization and tensor network methods. As a result, my work is very sensitive to the performance of linear algebra libraries (BLAS-level, LAPACK-level, sparse LAPACK-level, etc.). I got to know BLIS and Arm on HPC when trying to optimize our variational quantum solver on supercomputer Fugaku. Experience working with Arm processors turned out to be smooth and fruitful, with our lab program accelerated up to ~6x and BLIS on SVE almost production-ready. Apart from performance libraries, I'm a keen user of programming language Julia. Wrappers for BLIS and TBLIS are made to exploit flexibility of BLIS framework as well as Julia language itself. Improving Julia ecosystem on aarch64 is yet another thing I want to contribute to in the coming few years.
