Overview

I am a first year graduate student in Computer Science at UC Berkeley. My areas of emphasis include computer systems and parallel computing. I am working in the BeBOP group under Professor Katherine Yelick and Professor James Demmel.

For my Master's Thesis, I am writing a parallel version of OSKI in order to provide an autotuning framework for performing Parallel Sparse Matrix Vector Multiply Operations. A summary of the work done so far can be found in the following poster that was presented at the UC Berkeley Parallel Computing Laboratory Kickoff Retreat held in January 2008..
