Broad Research Area: Databases / Information Retrieval / Data Mining, Hardware / Architecture, Networks / Operating Systems, Programming Languages / Compilers
Research Interests:
High-performance and energy-efficient cache designs for large-scale multicore architectures; architecture and runtime support for emerging memory technologies; architecture and runtime support for novel parallel programming models (deterministic parallelism, disciplined parallelism); architectural and runtime support, and programming models for variable-fidelity computing; cross-layer reliable systems, where the reliability goal is achieved through the cooperation of all the abstraction layers, from circuits to architecture to the operating system; programming models, runtime environments and memory hierarchy designs for heterogeneous multicores; programming models, and runtime and architecture support for energy-aware computing; impact of memristors on architecture, memory hierarchy and systems software; novel database management systems for emerging multicore architectures and memory technologies
