Oct 2005 Present Software Engineer
Sun Microsystems Inc., California
Actively engaged in the dynamic optimization project and dynamic translation project. The
dynamic optimization project aims to perform user-transparent binary optimization to running
native processes and improve performance by dynamic code regeneration. The dynamic
translation project, however, is to provide possibility of cross-platform execution so that
executables built for alien architectures will be able to run on native platforms (e.g.
UltraSparc x64 or vice versa).
Jun 2004 Sep 2005 Graduate Intern
Sun Microsystems Inc., California
Developing a prototype Runtime Optimization Framework on the Solaris 10 platform for
existing and future 32/64 bit UltraSparc micro-processors.
Sep 2000 Present Research Assistant
Computer Science Department, University of Minnesota
Implemented a Dynamic Binary Optimization framework on the Linux/Itanium2 platform.
This tool retrieves the runtime hardware performance information to optimize the user
programs on the fly. It s the first dynamic optimizer ever built that truly speeds up real world
applications. The project covers topics as Runtime Profile Collection, Phase Detection, Trace
Selection, Binary Optimization and Code Deployment. My doctoral research focuses on the
detection of phase change, code management and runtime optimization techniques (e.g.
data cache pre-fetching, helper thread speculation).
Oct 1999 - Aug 2000 Software Engineer
Intel Corp. China Software Lab, Shanghai
Joined the Dynamic Binary Translation group in 1999. We worked with the Intel research
lab in Haifa, Israel and it was the biggest project I have ever participated in. The objective of
that project was to transparently translate IA32 executables to IA64 binary at runtime through
a software execution layer between the OS and the applications. I earned much knowledge
about IA32/IA64 architecture and system migration.
Jun 1998 - Oct 1999 Software Engineer, Technical Leader
Intel Corp. China Software Lab, Shanghai
Joined the JVM group. We collaborated with another team in Intel, Santa Clara to develop
the core of Java Class Library for the Java Virtual Machine to use on IA32 & IA64
platforms. I was the technical leader of Shanghai group in 1999 and took charge of the
development of the java.io, java.lang, and java.util packages.
Feb 1998 - May 1998 Research Assistant
Shanghai JiaoTong University, China
I and 5 other students implemented a Remote Performance Monitoring and Online
Resource Sharing System in 5 months. It was a distributed system project sponsored by a
Japanese software company.
