Students

Nikos Hardavellas

Nikos is a PhD Student in the Department of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon, advised by Profs. Babak Falsafi and Anastasia Ailamaki. He believes multiprocessors are not fast enough (especially for commercial applications) and running more threads is not the answer. After several years at Digital, Compaq, and Hewlett-Packard, he returned to school hoping to remedy that situation.
