I am a second year graduate student in the CS Department at the University of Colorado at Boulder. I am also part of the DRACO Architecture research group led by Professor Dan Connors which is focused in the area of computer architecture. My areas of interest are performance analysis, compilers and high performance computing. My current focus is fault tolerance analysis. The research involves investigation of the impact of compiler optimizations on the dependence graphs of application traces. I also work as a Graduate Research Assistant for CIRES doing code optimization for the ENLIL heliospheric solar wind model. Now that GPUs are getting better at floating-point arithmetic, my future work might involve porting parts of the model to GPUs using CUDA. In Fall '07, I worked at LASP porting the Global Ionosphere-Plasmasphere weather model code to a Beowulf cluster.
I am currently working at Apple Inc as an intern in the Architecture & Performance Group doing work involving Performance Monitoring Counters (PMCs).
I graduated from Mumbai University, India in May of 2005 with a Bachelors of Engineering in Computer Engineering. I previously worked at i-flex solutions ltd. for about 2 years. I love reading, trekking, cycling, and playing PC games. Currently I am pounding bad guys in Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty 4.
