I have worked on the software, the architecture, or the applications for a variety of experimental computer systems; my main interest has always been the design and implementation of software. As a graduate student at Stanford, I participated in the (Stanford) MIPS project. At Carnegie Mellon, I was part of the Warp, iWarp and Fx projects. iWarp is an experimental parallel system with excellent communication capabilities; the Fx compiler supports both task and data parallelism and has been retargetted for a variety of parallel and distributed systems. My current projects investigate compiler construction (building on cmcc, an experimental C compiler) and the design of network-aware programs (as part of the Remulac project). More (background)?

I am interested in programming and software construction: compilers, the interface between hardware and software, parallel systems, distributed systems, and networks.

Most of my research is done in collaboration with my colleagues in the Computing, Media, and Communication Laboratory (CMCL). The CMCL pages contain information about past and present projects.

I am switching from my Macs to PCs. Here is an incomplete list of software that eases my transition.
