Research Interests
My primary research areas are high-performance computing, which spans the application, compiler, and architecture fields. I am particularly interested in using existing reconfigurable devices (i.e. FPGAs) and EURECA architectures to accelerate time-consuming applications.
- Application: domain-specific architectures in finance, machine learning, seismic imaging, matrix processing, and climiate modelling
- Compiler: new concurrent programming models for runtime reconfigurable architectures
- Compiler: domain-specific optimiastion passes based on accelerated applications
- Architecture: architecture innovations to improve runtime reconfiguration graunality (from microsecond to nanasocend)
- Architecture: new architecture models to exploit the improve reconfiguration granuality
