Research

My research is in computer architecture, including programming models and compiler support that dovetail with new architectures.

Some recent publications (full list):

"Atom-Aid: Detecting and Surviving Atomicity Violations", (to appear) ISCA 2008.
"Recording and Deterministically Replaying Shared-Memory Multiprocessor Execution Efficiently", (to appear) ISCA 2008.
"SoftSig: Software-Exposed Hardware Signatures for Memory Disambiguation", (to appear) ASPLOS 2008.
"Concurrency Control with Data Coloring", (to appear) MSPC-ASPLOS 2008.
"BulkSC: Bulk Enforcement of Sequential Consistency", ISCA 2007.
"Implicit Parallelism with Ordered Transactions", PPoPP 2007.
"Colorama: Architectural Support for Data-Centric Synchronization", HPCA 2007.
"Scalable Cache Miss Handling for High Memory Level Parallelism ", MICRO 2006.
"Bulk Disambiguation of Speculative Threads in Multiprocessors ", ISCA 2006.

If you have a chance, take a look at SESC, a very fast multiprocessor simulator.

Now, here is a good way of choosing your next architecture or compiler conference.

Professional Activities

About me

I was born in São Paulo, Brazil.

I received my PhD in Computer Science from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I got my BEng and MEng in Electrical Engineering from University of São Paulo, Brazil. Here you can find my (outdated) resume (1-page version).

Self portraits.

I am very fortunate to have such a happy family.

I am always happy because she exists.
