Scott Mahlke
Comrade Scott busily directs our research group and does so with an IRON FIST!
 
Graduate Students
Amin Ansari
Comrade Amin is working on reliability for increasing the expected lifetime of Chip Multi Processor systems. He hopes this research will allow the alchemists to create the elixir of immortality.
Jason Blome*
Comrade Jay is working on the design of custom functional units and reliable microarchitectures which will remain true in the face of the faulty silicon proffered by the capitalist's deep submicron microarchitecture designs.
Ganesh Dasika
Comrade Ganesh is working on low-power accelerators so we may destroy our enemies efficiently - quickly and without breaking a sweat!
Kevin Fan
Comrade Kevin works on describing and synthesizing custom processors. He is looking mighty skeptical in this picture. Perhaps we should keep a closer eye on him.
Shuguang Feng
Comrade Shuguang is working on reliability, which is ironic because he is totally unreliable when it comes writing up a description of his research focus for this webpage.
Shantanu Gupta
Comrade Shantanu works on on processor reliability by designing an architecture that will be self-healing, scalable and competitive in performance.
Jeff Hao
Comrade Jeff works on compilers and feeds the turtle.
Amir Hormati
Comrade Amir is working on cyclic and acyclic accelerator designs for embedded systems, which can be integrated in the processor pipeline without modifying the instruction set.
Manjunath Kudlur
Comrade Manjunath studies techniques to determine memory configurations of custom processors and scheduling for custom processors. You can believe it will have a devastating effect on all capitalist swine!
Yuan Lin
Comrade Yuan is working on an application specific accelerator for wireless protocols.
Mojtaba Mehrara
Comrade Mojtaba is working on automatic parallelization of single-threaded applications.
Hyunchul Park
Comrade Hyunchul works on automatic synthesis of application specific accelerators.
* Currently on leave.
