Research

Experience Habanero Multicore Software Project Jan. 2008 - present

Design and Implemented the work-stealing runtime for Habanero-Java programming language.

Design the Habanero-C work-stealing runtime.

Adaptive Compilation May. 2005 - May. 2007

We study the interaction between compiler transformations and use searching techniques to search

for an e cient compilation sequence. The compiler we work on is a low-level research compiler

implemented in C.

Fudan University, Shanghai China

Accelerate Multimedia Applications Using SIMD Instructions Sep. 2002 -May, 2004

We use pattern matching to detect vectorization opportunities in the source code of multimedia

programs, and rewrite the source program with SIMD intrinsic functions. We achieved an average

10% speedup after vectorization.

Work

Experience Visiting Student, Jun 2009 - Aug 2009

Design and implemented work-stealing runtime for IBM XL Compiler to support OpenMP 3.0.

Sun Microsystems Labs, Menlo Park, CA

Graduate Research Intern, May 2008 - Aug 2008

Designed and implemented a new level of intermediate representation in the compiler of the

Maxine Java Virtual Machine. Build a path-sensitive data- ow analysis driver on that level.

Microsoft Cooperation, Redmond, WA

Software Developer Intern May 2007 - Aug 2007

Work in the pop y group. Pop y is a web-based IDE for non-professionals to build web-

applications by composition of function blocks.
