Assistant
Professor Center for
Reliable and High-Performance Computing Coordinated
Science Laboratory Specifically, my research interests include multi-core and multithreaded architectures, low-power and complexity-effective architectures, on-chip interconnects, compilation and OS issues for multithreaded architectures, embedded and reconfigurable architectures, etc. Current research goal is to build a truly adaptable processor that can adapt to all workload conditions and characteristics, and can therefore deliver performance and power characteristics as if it were designed for close to the best case, on average, instead of the average case, at best. We call this initive Amoebic Computing. Another research goal is to investigate how to build and use many-core (possibly hundreds of cores) processors. This involves studying both bottlenecks like interconnection and coherence, worst-case power, etc., as well as opportunities like enhancing reliability, availability, usability, etc. I am also interested in revisiting the roles of hardware and software in the computing stack, with special focus on mechanisms vs policies and what goes where (e.g., should process management and scheduling be done in hardware?). The two specific projects that we are doing in my lab (Passat Group) are 1) 1) Hardware and system support for actor-oriented (or message passing) programming and execution, and 2) design and evaluation of stochastic processor (or processors that do not always compute correctly by design). More details on both these projects soon (send us an email if you want to know details of these two flagship projects). I also have very broad potential interests. Please feel encouraged to take a shot at convincing me to work on something different that you are excited about. Email Address: rakeshk
AT illinois.edu I am looking for motivated graduate/undergraduate students. If you are a UIUC graduate/undergraduate student looking for an advisor or if you are someone interested in applying to UIUC for graduate studies, email me if you want to do research in computer architecture, reconfigurable computing, or hardware/software interface. See my research/publications pages for a sampling of my research. Please attach your CV as well.
