Improving microarchitectural features of the GPU memory system.

Developed an automated GPU design space exploration tool based on regression

analysis.

Worked on System-level ISA (SISA) project, in which multi-threaded LLVM

programs are annotated with control and data ow information for better run-

time core assignment and scratchpad allocation.

Software Engineering Intern Summer 2011

Google Inc., Mountain View, CA

Utilized hardware performance counters and GCC related tools to study x86

assembly code level performance variations across Intel and AMD CPU plat-

forms.

Searched for function-level code multi-versioning performance optimization op-

portunities and heuristics resulted from platform-speci c performance varia-

tions.

Research Intern Summer 2010

IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, Hawthorne, NY

Parallelized a business analytics application with X10 and optimized its perfor-

mance in an OpenMP based distributed computing environment.

Designed a parallel and distributed Cluster-Feature Tree building algorithm.
