معرفی
Tyler Sorensen is an Assistant Professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. He is currently on leave working with the RiSE group at Microsoft Research. His research focuses on concurrency programming, heterogeneous systems (GPUs, accelerators), compilers, and memory consistency models.
- PhD in Computer Science, Imperial College London (2018)
- MS in Computer Science, University of Utah (2014)
- BSc in Computer Science, University of Utah (2012)
His work explores programming models for correctness and efficiency on emerging architectures, particularly GPGPU programming. He contributes to standards evolution with the Khronos Group and has developed testing frameworks for GPU memory consistency. His research has significant implications for parallel programming and GPU architecture design.
His recent publications analyze GPU memory behavior, concurrency models, and performance portability across different architectures. Key trends include formal verification of memory models, empirical testing frameworks, and performance optimization for heterogeneous systems.
