Education:
- PhD in Computer Science, Rice University, 2000
Research Interests:
- Locality theory and optimization
- Compilers and runtime systems for parallelism
- Memory management strategies
- High-performance computing systems
Key Contributions: His work on reuse distance in memory hierarchy and compiler-assisted cache management (CLAM) has been foundational in optimizing data movement and parallelism. Recent research explores data movement complexity for machine learning and generative AI-driven memory workload synthesis.
