Research Interests
Currently, I am investigating how we can improve the performance and energy efficiency of mobile devices through modifications of the runtimes of these devices. This entails identifying and optimizing hot sections of code during application execution. A short-term goal of this research is to deliver performance and energy enhancements without hardware modification, allowing existing smartphones and tablets to reap the benefits of this work. In the long-term, I am interested in identifying common optimizations used in the aforementioned software-only solution and attempting to build hardware accelerators to deliver further performance and energy efficiency improvements.
