Research Assistant Professor, School of Computing
Ph.D., University of Virginia, 1995
Professor
McKee joined the faculty in 1998.
Her research interests lie in the intersection of computer architecture,
operating systems, compilers, and performance evaluation. Her current
work focuses on memory system design and analysis.
Dr. McKee is a member of the Impulse Adaptable Memory Systems project,
where she is helping to build a computer system that gives applications
more control over how their data is accessed.
Another project investigates how to give the memory hierarchy knowledge of
future access patterns, and then how best to exploit that knowledge
to improve system performance. A third project seeks to develop an
analytical method for designing and evaluating better complex cache hierarchies.
