Parallel Computing

Sarita V. Adve

Sarita Adve's most significant research contributions are in the areas of  memory consistency models for multiprocessors, hardware reliability, power management, exploitation of instruction-level parallelism (ILP) for memory system performance, and evaluation techniques for shared-memory multiprocessors with ILP processors.
Wen-mei W. Hwu

Professor Hwu's work addresses the problems associated with delivering effective software/hardware performance solutions for the computing industry. He leads the IMPACT Research Group, which developed the IMPACT Research Compiler, which has been widely used in industry and academia to investigate new techniques for enhancing instruction-level parallelism in a variety of architectures.
Marc Snir

Professor Snir is interested in various aspects of parallel computing and large-scale distributed processing. His theoretical work in this area includes studies of parallel computation models and of parallel algorithms. His work in parallel computer architecture includes work on parallel interconnection networks and on mechanisms for efficient large-scale shared memory support.
Marianne Winslett

In the area of data security, Professor Winslett is participating in the TrustBuilder project to develop automated trust negotiation, a new approach to access control and authentication for use in open computing environments. Such environments require nimble, flexible approaches to access control, so that entities from outside the open system can be allowed to make use of system resources.
