Prospective Students: I am looking for highly motivated B.Tech, M.Tech, and Ph.D. students to work in the following areas of parallel programming models and runtime systems: a) heterogeneous processors and accelerators (SoCs, FPGAs, etc.), and b) managed language runtimes such as JVM and JavaScript engine. If you are very good in programming (C, C++, Java) and also like hacking big software systems then please email me your resume.
