Professor Chaudhuri's research focuses exclusively on computer architecture, with particular expertise in cache management systems, memory hierarchy optimization, and processor design. His work addresses critical challenges in modern computing systems where efficient memory access patterns significantly impact overall system performance across various computing platforms.

His recent publications demonstrate consistent contributions to cache management research, particularly in last-level cache algorithms for both traditional processors and graphics processing units. The publications show an evolving research trajectory from general cache algorithms toward specialized implementations for graphics workloads, indicating strategic expansion of his research domain while maintaining core expertise in memory systems.

• Best paper award in the 11th IEEE International Symposium on High-Performance Computer Architecture, February 2005

While specific details about graduate student supervision aren't provided in the available documentation, his publication record suggests active research mentorship within computer architecture. The absence of explicit grant information in the source material prevents detailed commentary on funded research projects, though his award-winning work indicates successful research proposal development.

Though not explicitly mentioned in the source documents, his specialization in computer architecture suggests potential involvement with computer systems laboratories at IIT Kanpur where architectural simulations and hardware implementations would be conducted, supporting both his research and educational mission in advanced computing systems.
