Karl Brandt

I recently completed my Masters in Computer Science, working with Professor Darrell Long in the Storage Systems Research Center. I recieved a BS in Information Systems Management from UCSC and a AS in Electronics Technology from Foothill College. As with any graduate, I have my resume on-line.

Research Interests:

  • Prediction and Grouping in improve file system performance.
  • Usage of MRAM in file systems.
  • Probe-based MEMS Storage.
  • Computer Security in all forms.

TA Duties:

  • Current: CMPS 111 Introduction to Operating Systems
  • Past: CMPS 12A Introduction to Programming

    CMPS 12B Introduction to Data Structures

Publications:

  • "Predicting When Not To Predict", Karl Brandt, Darrell D. E. Long, Ahmed Amer, Proceedings of the 12th International Symposium on Modeling, Analysis, and Simulation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems (MASCOTS '04), Volendam, The Netherlands, October 2004, to appear
  • "Using Multiple Experts to Perform File Prediction", Karl S. Brandt, Masters thesis, 2004, (PS) (PDF)
  • "Measuring the Compressibility of Metadata and Small Files for Disk/NVRAM Hybrid Storage Systems", Nathan K. Edel, Ethan L. Miller, Karl S. Brandt, Scott A. Brandt, Proceedings of the 2004 International Symposium on Performance Evaluation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems (SPECTS'04), San Jose, CA, July 2004, (PDF)

Class Papers:

  • "Player Profiling in Texas Holdem", CMPS240 - Artificial Intelligence, Spring 2004 (PS) (PDF)
  • "Using Multiple Experts for File Prediction", CMPS242 - Machine Learning, Fall 2003 (PS) (PDF)
