WORK
EXPERIENCE
Cisco Systems Inc., Cambridge, MA
Software Engineer Intern
(Summer 2015)
Worked in a 20+ agile development team building web-based application that
manages Cisco devices. Contributed most to the backend server based on Java
Spring Framework. Heavily involved in the whole scrum process with weekly sprint.
RESEARCH
PROJECT
Resource-aware Load Balancing on Multi-core Systems
(September 2014 - Present)
Investigating new load balancing algorithms that take shared caches, memory
bandwidth and power consumption into account. Wrote a cache-aware load
balancer prototype in Linux, then worked on a research OS. Load balancing works
with sporadic server. Together they can either maximize application performance or
minimize power consumption, while keeping application’s QoS requirement.
Performance Isolation via Software Cache Partitioning
(January 2013 - February 2014)
Proposed a memory management framework in Linux kernel that partitions
shared hardware cache on multi-core through the use of dynamic page coloring,
providing performance isolation amongst applications. Experiments showed a
noticeable reduction in program performance variation up to 39%, in the presence
of heavy contention from co-runners.
ADDITIONAL
PROJECTS
In-memory File System
(Winter, 2011)
Implemented an in-memory file system in Linux as kernel module, supporting
common file operations.
Video Server
(Winter, 2011)
Wrote a multi-threaded video server using C and pthread, supporting static and
dynamic thread pools to simultaneously serve clients.
