Arrvindh Shriraman

Arrvindh Shriraman is an Associate Professor and Program Director of Software Systems at Simon Fraser University's School of Computing Science in Surrey. His research focuses on energy-efficient software, multicore memory systems, and optimizing hardware/software interfaces for parallel programming. He holds a Ph.D. (2010) and M.S. (2006) in Computer Science from the University of Rochester, and a B.Eng. (2004) from the University of Madras. He teaches courses on parallel programming and energy-conscious software design.

His research interests include synchronization mechanisms for domain-specific architectures, cache optimization, and FPGA-based acceleration. He has contributed to frameworks like Mu-grind for HLS-generated RTL instrumentation and TAPAS for parallel accelerator generation. Notable projects include RANGE-BLOCKS for synchronization in domain-specific systems and TapeFlow for gradient computation in neural networks. His work emphasizes real-time verification of autonomous systems and safety-critical trajectory planning for underwater vehicles.

Shriraman collaborates closely with the Tangent Lab, exploring cutting-edge solutions in hardware-software co-design and embedded systems. His teaching and research bridge theoretical computer science with applied engineering challenges, addressing scalability, efficiency, and safety in modern computing systems.
