IMPACT
Memory consistency models:
Co-developed the memory models for the C++ and Java programming
languages, based on our early work on data-race-free models
Hardware reliability:
co-developed the concept of lifetime
reliability aware architectures and dynamic reliability management
Power management:
Co-designed GRACE, one of the first systems to implement cross-layer
energy management
Memory level parallelism: Some of the first papers on exploiting
instruction-level parallelism (ILP) for memory system performance
Evaluation techniques for shared-memory
systems with ILP processors: Developed
the widely used RSIM architecture simulator

Our group's research focus is in computer architecture, but we take a
full system view of the problems we solve and collaborate closely with
faculty and students from other areas, including applications, software,
and hardware.
The field of computer architecture is currently
undergoing several disruptive changes. Moore's law continues to bestow a
wealth of transistors, but converting them into usable performance will
require exploiting increasingly higher levels of parallelism or
many-core computing. Designing parallel hardware and software that
achieve power-efficient, reliable, and scalable performance, however,
remains a challenge. We are currently working on the following projects
to address this challenge:
SWAT: Software Anomaly Treatment
DeNovo: Rethinking Hardware for Disciplined Parallelism:
DPJ: Deterministic Parallel Java (led by Vikram Adve)
