Systems & Networking Research Projects

 

Operating System Support for Large Memory Systems

WONG Weng Fai

This project tackles performance limitations in large server systems with extensive memory. It proposes OS-level solutions to optimize memory access for both traditional Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) systems and emerging disaggregated memory architectures. The goal is to improve performance, power efficiency, and cost-effectiveness for data centers.

Machine Learning for Compilation

WONG Weng Fai

This project aims to enhance compiler optimization using machine learning. It utilizes graph convolutional neural networks (GCN) to predict optimization efficacy for code fragments. Key objectives include developing effective graph embeddings, selecting appropriate GCN models, and creating a compiler optimization recommender system.

Compiler-Guided High-Performance Accelerator Design

Trevor Erik CARLSON

Project aims to optimize FPGA acceleration through DSL platform. It facilitates efficient, easy-to-develop designs via compiler-based generators. The goal is high-efficiency, easy deployment, and specialized FPGA designs through abstraction-level optimizations.

Towards a Testbed for Innovative Inter-Networking Research

Richard MA

This project aims to achieve performance-guaranteed stream processing using a serverless paradigm. By designing Stream as a Service (SaaS) abstractions and APIs, users can specify computational logic and performance goals for their stream jobs, advancing serverless technology for real-time analytics with a broader impact.

Enhancing Legal Document Services with Accessible and Private LLM Technology

HE Bingsheng

This project aims to transform legal document services by developing a local, privacy-preserving Large Language Model (LLM) technology. The research tackles privacy concerns associated with external server processing, seeking to enhance efficiency, speed, and reliability while overcoming computational constraints.
