RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
Research Assistant
Advisor: Prof. Mahmut Kandemir
Pennsylvania State University
University Park (2006 - present)
Currently working on shared resource allocation problems in Multicore archiectures (Chip
Multiprocessors) including shared last level cache allocation schemes. My broad research
interests include the areas of architectural support for shared resource allocation and the
necessary support in software to exploit the same.
Graduate Student
Advisor: Prof. Y N Srikant
Indian Institute of Science
Bangalore (2004 - 2006)
Master's Thesis: "Object Cache: A Dynamically Configurable and Energy Efficient Cache
Architecture for Embedded Systems". Designed and evaluated an energy efficient object cache architecture to reduce energy
consumption of object oriented programs running on complex run-time systems like the Java
virtual machine. Profile analysis of code to optimize power consumption in the Object Cache
architecture and a phase level reconfiguration algorithm was proposed for the same.
Co-op Engineer
Advisor: Dr. Lisa Hsu
AMD (RADL)
Bellevue (May-Aug, 2010)
Modeled a detailed memory system simulation system for studying memory system performance in future AMD multicore processors. Studied complex interactions between locality in last-level cache allocations and locality in DRAM row-buffers. Implemented and studied the benefits of monitoring DRAM performance online to a dynamic memory system controller.
Research Intern
Advisor: Dr. Aman Kansal
Microsoft Research
Redmond (June-Aug, 2008)
Studied the inter-relationships between energy consumption, resource utilization, and performance of consolidated workloads in cloud computing environments. The study reveals
the energy performance trade-offs for consolidation and shows that optimal operating points exist. Consolidation problem was modeled as a modified bin packing problem and a heuristic algorithm was proposed to find an allocation that would leave the system capable of servicing the widest range of future requests.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Microsoft Corporation
Redmond, USA.
Software Design Engineer Intern
June 2007 - Aug 2007
Designed and implemented a solution to Reset on Resume problem with non-standard-
compliant USB 2.0 devices on Windows Vista. The project involved modifying the default
reset behavior of connected USB devices on resuming from the sleep state to avoid malfunc-
tioning of certain devices.
Aumega Networks
Bangalore, India.
Consultant
Feb 2006 - July 2006
Designed and independently implemented the Indus Container, a run-time system for Indus,
a network-centric language. The container was responsible for service discovery, intelligent
routing, remote execution and various other features such as persistence, security, transaction
management and policy management of Indus programs.
Honeywell Technology Solutions Limited
Bangalore, India.
Software Engineer
May 2004 - July 2004
Was part of AES group involved in the development of Flight Management System (FMS)
for Airbus 380 (A380) aircraft. My job included implementation of various modules of the
FMS. Gained hands on experience on complex real-time embedded systems.
