My research interests span a wide spectrum of topics in the general area of software systems and operating systems with a particular emphasis on the interaction of these systems with modern processors. Harnessing the high computational power of multi-core CPUs, modern GPUs, next/predictable CPU+GPU processors, or even modern low-cost, power-efficient processors is a challenging task for a wide range of software systems. My approach to solve this challenge relies on performance optimizations being done through compilers and monitoring run-time systems.
