Simha Sethumadhavan and Colleagues win DARPA Seed Grant
04/29/2008
Professor Sal Stolfo, Professor Simha Sethumadhavan, Dr. Michael Locasto (Dartmouth, former Columbia CS PhD student) and Professor David August (Princeton) have received funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to study techniques for parallelizing legacy software codes for multi-core processors.
This research effort will leverage recent discoveries of latent parallelism in sequential codes and improvements in machine learning to create a new automatic parallelization system. The parallelization system may offer dramatic performance improvements for legacy software (on multi-cores) without requiring prohibitively expensive software rewrites.
