Broad Research Area: Programming Languages / Compilers
Research Interests:
My research interests are in various aspects of multithreaded shared memory programming including transactional memory. I am working on making shared memory programming simple while preserving functionality and performance. I am particularly interested in the semantics of atomic sections and their transactional implementations that improve runtime performance. To this end, I am examining interfaces that should be exposed to the user as well as tight coupling between the compiler, the runtime, and other development tools.
