The CARS group members investigate and solve important and complex issues to improve performance and trust-worthiness of software in the desktop, server, embedded and cloud computing domains. The research applies concepts in compilers, computer architecture, operating systems, virtual machines, and/or software engineering. Projects typically focus on building new system tools or modifying existing compiler-based or runtime systems to improve the speed, code-size, security, and programmability characteristics of software on modern machines.
Current Research Projects
- Efficient
Software Execution on Modern Multi-Core
Machines
- Automatic code refactoring to produce thread-safe code.
- Novel parallelization model for virtual machines.
- System tools development for heterogeneous computing environments.
- Improving
Performance of Embedded System Software
- Understanding and addressing compiler optimization phase ordering.
- Optimal data layout to maximize performance.
- Cyber-security in the smart-grids.
-
Undergraduate Projects
- Targeting general-purpose applications for GPUs.
- Prediction models for detecting hot methods in Java programs.
- Ideal just-in-time compilation policy for virtual machines.
