Nima Honarmand

Nima Honarmand is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Stony Brook University, where he co-directs the Computer Architecture Stony Brook (COMPAS) Lab. His research focuses on computer system design, particularly parallel computer architecture and operating systems.

• Education: Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign under Josep Torrellas.

His work addresses challenges in deterministic replay of parallel programs to simplify debugging on multi-processor systems. Current research explores memory fencing, consistency models, and architectural extensions for reproducibility.

Recent publications span conferences like ASPLOS, ISCA, PACT, and POPL, with emphasis on parallelism constraints, memory hierarchy optimization, and fault-tolerant systems. Awards include Best Paper at PACT 2011 and Best Paper Candidate at VTS 2007.

• Teaching: Courses include Computer Architecture (CSE 502) and Operating Systems (CSE 306/CSE 506).
