I am a first year graduate student at the
University of California at Santa Cruz. My current interest are computer
architecture and CPU design. I have recently begun research under Dr. Jose Renau
of the Micro Architecture Santa Cruz Group(MASC). My main work is centered around SCOORE, Santa Cruz Out-Of-Order Risc
Engine. SCOORE is a high performance Out-of-Order SPARC V8 processor currently under implementation by myself and various
graduate students in the MASC research lab. My main focus is the design and implementation of the Execution Engine of SCOORE.
The SCOORE POSTER link to the right contains more details and a description of the project's leaders.
I am also interested in FPGA applications as a method to implement adaptive optics.
I have worked on a project, in conjunction with the Center for Adaptive Optics(CFAO), in
which my team and I implemented an iterative tomography algorithm on a Virtex 4 FPGA.
This algorithm is used to calculate atmospheric effects on light as it traveled through
the Earth's atmosphere. The abstract of my research can be found at the link on the right.
