Research Projects

1.    Resource and energy aware scheduling: This goal of this project is to develop and evaluate schedules for embedded systems, multi-core computers, clusters, and grids.  The target is to develop adaptable and scalable schedules that are resource aware (memory, computational power) as well as energy and thermal conscious.  

2.    Real-time micro-architecture:  This project investigates the use of secondary bus between cache and memory to develop better micro-architectures.    It also investigates the use of wireless technology to develop better fault tolerance and cache coherence techniques.  It involves performance analysis and hardware design.

3.    Storage architecture:  This project investigates novel data and meta-data organization within disks, disk-clusters and flash drives for better timing, energy, fault tolerance and wear.  

4.    Education: This project involves development of concept graphs and cartoon strips for computer science education.
