I am Research Scientist at Facebook.


Research Interests

My research is profiling and optimizing machine learning and deep learning applications on parallel processors such as CPU, GPU, or Xeon Phi, utilizing TensorFlow/PyTorch framework. From the analysis, I identify the bottlenecks in both architecture and software level and suggest HW/SW optimizations. Recently, I have been working on optimizing the CNN/RNN applications in the architecture level.

My previous researches were handheld system design (mobile phones/tablets and general IP architectures), and CGRA acceleration.
