Utah Arch: Architecture Research at University of Utah




After completing my undergrad studies at Delhi College of Engineering (DCE), University of Delhi, I began my graduate career in Fall-2007 working with John Carter and exploring issues in computer architecture. I now work with Rajeev Balasubramonian and my focus areas are performance, memory system design, power consumption and ease of programming for future micro-processors. As all(?) computer architects, I generally spend most of my research time grokking at simulators.

In an another life, I worked at the Microwave CAD lab at DCE as a research assistant developing parallel algorithms and simulators for microwave antenna simulations. We developed a parallel algorithm for evaluating Gabor transforms on a distributed-memory parallel machine (a Linux cluster for e.g.). The work was published in WORLDCOMP'07, click here for a local copy. I interned at IIT-Kharagpur's Space and Technology Cell, and, Processor Verification Group, ST Microelectronics, Greater Noida. At these places, I worked on numerical models for antenna simulations, and, functional verification, respectively. I also worked on RADIUS protocol based authentication services for heterogeneous user environment at DCE.

I am a vegetarian, try to be environmentally conscious, and have liberal political inclinations. I like long bike rides, hiking and Utah's outdoors in general. I am also a Linux enthusiast and interested in way computer science is taught at high-school and university levels. Following is a partial list of things I wrote/compiled while I was an undergrad:
1.A Linux presentation I gave during my college's tech. fest.
2.My short guide to which programming languages should one learn.
3.A very short reading list for general and inspirational reading pertaining to computer science.
4. Some project ideas I never got down to implementing. (1) (2) (3) (4)

My first experiments with the LaTeX few years ago resulted in the following:
This is how one spells my name in Devanagari script.


"Once we experience and feel this inter-dependence of all living beings, we will cease to hurt, humiliate, exploit and kill another. We will want to free all sentient beings from suffering. This is karuna, compassion, which in turn gives rise to the responsibility to create happiness and its causes for all."
