Another computer engineering student, Jeff Brantley, and I (along with Kim Hazelwood) wrote a paper on contention-aware dynamic scheduling for heterogeneous systems. We utilized OpenCL for the code, and ran our experiments on an AMD GPU and an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU.

Marisabel Guevara and I, along with Kevin Skadron and Kim Hazelwood, wrote a paper entitled Enabling Task Parallelism in the CUDA Scheduler. It was accepted into the PMEA Workshop at the PACT 2009 Conference in Raleigh, NC. Marisabel will be presenting the paper.

I took an Embedded Computing class during the Spring 2009 semester, and I did a project investigating how to use genetic algorithms to program my Roomba vacuum cleaner to go between two points on a floor with barriers in between: Genetic Algorithms in Autonomous Embedded Systems.

Marisabel Guevara and I wrote a paper on Measuring Unix for our Operating Systems Class.

I delivered a lecture/discussion on Programming and Compilers in Embedded Systems in my Embedded Systems class.

I taught a class (for Digital Logic Design) on Hamming Code (with a little review of two’s complement). Here are the lecture notes, and here is a Python program that encodes and decodes Hamming Code bit-strings.

Marisabel Guevara and I wrote up a paper on a reconfigurable adder for our VLSI class during the fall semester.
