About me

---

My research interests lie in the design of energy efficient processor and memory architectures including heterogeneous multicore systems. I completed my BTech(Hons) degree from BITS Pilani, Goa in 2011. Following which, I started my Masters+PhD program in Fall 2011. I completed my Masters degree in May 2013, and became a PhD candidate in Fall of the same year. Currently I'm engaged full-time in my thesis research.

I work with Prof. Scott Mahlke on a project that envisions a processor with multiple heterogeneous energy efficient backends on a core. My project aims to achieve energy-efficient execution of general-purpose applications by rethinking the microarchitecture of a core -- from a monolithic computing unit to a combination of heterogeneous core pipelines. The runtime layer of this system must determine fine-grained execution slices and pro-actively map it to the most efficient engine. I have examined the sustainability and predictability of performance and metrics affecting performance in fine-grained application slices or traces to aid the runtime management system at making fast and accurate switching decisions. I'm currently working on exploring and designing customized backends that provide efficiency across diverse applications and their characteristics at phases of a fine-granularity.
