Research: I am currently interested in robust and low power computing. I am particularly interested in stochastic computing , computing that embraces errors in architecture and design of software and hardware systems to dramatically reduce system power and cost. I am also pursuing projects on multiscalar systems, systems that are architected and designed to efficiently target a spectrum of performance/power requirements. Generally, my research interests include multi-core and multithreaded architectures, CAD/architecture interactions, low power and complexity-effective designs, and reliability and fault tolerance. I direct the PASSAT Group at Illinois. Please refer to the group webpages for details on the current research projects. *************************WEB BOARD******************************** 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 rakeshk@illinois.edu if you want to do research in computer architecture, CAD/architecture interactions, low power design, or reliability and fault tolerance. See our research/publications pages for a sampling of our research. Please attach your CV as well. John Sartori, the first PhD graduate of our group has accepted a position as an Assistant Professor in the EE department at the University of Minnesota. Congratulations, John! Our HPCA 2012 paper on "Power-Balanced Pipelines" is now online. The paper has been nominated for a Best Paper Award. John's paper on "Architecting Processors to Allow Voltage/Reliability Tradeoffs" wins best paper award at CASES 2011. Joseph's paper on " Algorithmic Techniques for Fault Detection for Sparse Linear Algebra" wins a Best Paper in Session Award at SRC TECHCON 2011.
