Key Active Research Projects

[NSF, SRC, DOD/NRL, UTC] My research focuses on the interaction between parallel computer system architecture and software, as well as the underlying hardware implementation challenges. These challenges include efficiency, scalability, resiliency, and security issues across embedded and high-performance many-core architectures. The basic tenant of my research is that architecture design must be cognizant of these implementation issues, and that multi-layer and multi-scale solutions spanning hardware, architecture and software can provide significant advantages.

Future Directions

Cognitive architectures to solve sensors-to-decision problems, such as autonomous vehicles, self-driving cars, robotics etc.
Architectural methods for scalable, efficient, and deterministic concurrent execution of safety critical applications on many-core processors
Architectural methods for resilient yet efficient processing of graph analytic and machine learning workloads on many-core processors
