Proud mentor moment! Yuxuan's (fling.seas.upenn.edu/~zyuxuan/) paper on Online COde Layout OptimizationS (OCOLOS) to perform profile-guided optimizations on a running process got accepted MICRO Symposium! Another paper, Whisper on profile-guided branch prediction got in too!

Also congrats to my great collaborators, Muhammed Ugur, krishnendra nathella, Dam Sunwoo, Gilles Pokam, Daniel A. Jiménez, Heiner Litz, Joe Devietti, and Baris Kasikci

Thank you Dean Emeritus Steve Kang for all of your work in establishing the department of biomolecular engineering, and your faith in the growing Genomics Institute. Congrats on your retirement! 🎉

Tanvir has done an incredible job leading high-impact projects resulting in industry adoption, establishing collaborations, mentoring students that went to great programs, and raising funding. He already operates as a successful junior professor and will be an awesome advisor.

Tanvir will be one of the top architecture candidates on the market this year!

Tanvir Tanvir Ahmed Khan is on 🔥 with 2 papers at this MICRO. Come see him present at the best paper session tomorrow morning. This paper presents a notable advance on how we can rethink branch prediction to be more effective.

A huge congratulations to the best paper award co-winners this year at MICRO Symposium!

Congrats to Tanvir (Tanvir Ahmed Khan) on the well-deserved best paper award at MICRO! Joint with Heiner Litz Daniel A. Jiménez Muhammed Ugur Dam Sunwoo, Krish Nathella

🎉👏 Congratulations to #BaskinEngineering Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Engineering Heiner Litz for winning the Best Paper Award at the 2022 IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture (MICRO 22)! people.ucsc.edu/~hlitz/papers/… Heiner Litz

Proud mentor moment! Last week MICRO Symposium, Yuxuan (fling.seas.upenn.edu/~zyuxuan/) presented OCOLOS, the first online code layout optimizations system for unmanaged languages.

BTW, these are BOLT speedups as well. Note 2x speedup on Verilator simulating a RISCV design, where PGO doesn't show much benefit.

Computer Science and Engineering at UCSC has open faculty positions in storage, databases, and systems. Please apply here: lnkd.in/g34pd3az

Intel finally released (software.intel.com/sites/default/…) how to use the code prefetch hint instructions for their next-generation processors. Great to see our academic work getting traction in real-world processor design.

Proud mentor moment! Yuxuan's (fling.seas.upenn.edu/~zyuxuan/) paper on Online COde Layout OptimizationS (OCOLOS, web.eecs.umich.edu/~takh/papers/z…) to perform profile-guided optimizations on a running process got selected for IEEE Micro Top Picks 2023.

The beautiful UC Santa Cruz campus this morning

🎉 Congratulations to Heiner Litz on his promotion to #BaskinEngineering associate professor! Litz conducts research in the fields of computer architecture & systems, with an emphasis on improving energy efficiency, cost, & performance. Learn more: people.ucsc.edu/~hlitz/ Heiner Litz
