I’m a third-year Ph.D. student at UW CSE. I work with the Sampa group and my advisors, Luis Ceze and Dan Grossman, on languages for parallel and low-power architectures. In particular, I’m currently most interested in programming models that trade off correctness guarantees for energy efficiency. Recently, I worked on the EnerJ approximation-aware programming language.
I am supported by a 2012–2013 Facebook Ph.D. fellowship. I graduated from Harvey Mudd College in 2009. In the summer of 2010, I was at Qualcomm BARD working on mobile performance and power. This summer, I’ll be at Microsoft Research. Here’s my CV.
What Is Macroscalar?
(April 24, 2012)A couple months ago, a story made the nerd-press rounds about Apple’s trademark application and several patents for something called a “macroscalar” processor architecture. I’ve taken a stab at decoding the publicly available information about macroscalar architectures to give a coherent picture of the idea.
