Research Interests
I work in programming languages and compiler technology for program
understanding, optimization, and parallelization.Algorithms and tools
developed by my group are used in many commercial products such as the
Intel IA-64 compiler,
the SGI MIPSPro compiler, and the HP-RISC compiler, among others. My
current
research interests are (i) methodologies and tools for programming
multicore
processors, with a focus on irregular applications from domains like
graphics,
scientific computing and data mining, and (ii) application-level
fault-tolerance
in the context of grid computing.
