PROJECTS AND EXPERIENCE

  • 09/2001 - 05/2002 A New Performance Model for Loops on DSP Architectures [Master Thesis]
    I designed a new model for loops to maximize the performance of optimized codes on DSP architectures, such as TI C3xx, Star*Core 1xx by applying software pipelining, unroll-and-jam, scalar replacement as well as some specific features of DSP chips, such as vector operations. I implemented algorithms in Memoria, a source to source compiler. Benchmarks on DSP simulators showed the great improvement of performance.
     
  • 01/2001 - 05/2001 Visual TCP/IP Animator for Unix/Linux
    We made a program on Unix/Linux to help users to understand and analyze runtime statuses of messages passing in distributed programs. This program creates a middle layer between applications and network hardware in a computer. Messages passing between processes or network adapters etc. can be captured, stored and reconstructed by the software.
