Research Experience
Ø
ResourceExchange: Latency-aware scheduling (Ref: ResourceExchange paper above)
o Provide latency guarantees for VMs when using InfiniBand devices
o Use IBMon for detecting IB data usage of VMs and estimate interference between VMs
o Developed two techniques (based on Micro-economics) to allocate CPU/IO resources to VMs for
reducing interference
Ø
Fair Share Scheduling for VMM-Bypass Devices (Ref: FaReS paper above)
o Provide Performance guarantees for VMs when using InfiniBand devices
o Interact with Memory Introspection Tool, IBMon for retrieving VM’s IB device usage
o Develop a generic framework for co-ordination between resources
Ø
IBMon: Memory Introspection Tool for VMM-Bypass InfiniBand Devices (Ref: IBMon paper above)
o Develop mechanisms to provide scalable, online monitoring of VMM-bypass devices
o Use Memory Introspection for deciphering InfiniBand device usage for VMs
o Bandwidth/Requests completed estimation using memory data written by HCA
Ø
Providing Co-ordination of Resources in Virtualized Platforms (Ref: ACT paper above)
o Co-ordinate between different physical resources to provide least impact to application performance
Professional Experience
Intern-Office of CTO – VMware R&D, Palo Alto, CA
May – Aug 2012
Project: vRDMA: A Paravirtualized RDMA Driver for ESXi
Duties: Develop a para-virtual RDMA interface for ESXi guests. Guests can use RDMA libraries to access the
vRDMA interface. Developed a guest user-level library, guest kernel driver and an ESXi VMkernel driver to
support vRDMA using VMCI. Analyze and debug performance for the vRDMA interface. Work with the VMCI
team to perform VM-ESXi communication.
Intern-HPC – VMware R&D, Palo Alto, CA
May – Aug 2011
Project: Performance evaluation of InfiniBand devices in Full Passthrough (FPT) mode in ESXi
Duties: Configure IB Mellanox ConnectX-2 cards in FPT mode in point-point connection,
Run different benchmarks to evaluate performance of RDMA operations for polling, events modes
Analyze and debug the performance impacts for VMs. Work with monitor and networking teams to improve
performance for these RDMA operations.
Software Technology Intern – InterContinentalExchange (ICE), Atlanta, GA
May – Aug 2010
Projects: Trading Platform Infrastructure Testing, InfiniBand deployment evaluation
Duties: Develop tools to perform rigorous evaluation of trading platform for messaging latencies using
(29West) LBM messaging libraries. Evaluate InfiniBand (IPoIB) performance for the above messaging
platform across the trading platform.
Evaluated as Outstanding Intern
College Intern – IBM, Software Group, Research Triangle Park, Raleigh, NC
May – Aug 2008
Project: FixPack Publishing Tool
Duties: Develop a GUI-based tool in Java/SWT for enabling WebSphere Support to publish multiple fixes to
central server; Tool should allow manipulation of fix metadata and extensible for other brands.
Evaluated as Outstanding Intern.
College Intern – Cisco Systems, Data Center Services and Security Technology Group, San Jose, CA
