Researching and inventing new technologies for next-generation infrastructures and platforms for sensors, devices and the cloud.
Project
Resource-efficient ML for Edge and Endpoint IoT Devices
Our objective is to develop a library of efficient machine learning algorithms that can run on severely resource-constrained edge and endpoint IoT devices ranging from the Arduino to the Raspberry Pi.
Project
Demikernel
The Demikernel is a new library OS architecture for kernel-bypass I/O in datacenter servers. The Demikernel defines a new kernel-bypass I/O abstraction and uses library OSes to flexibly provide that abstraction across different kernel-bypass devices…
Tool
Microsoft DemiKernel OS
The Demikernel is a library operating system architecture designed for use with kernel-bypass I/O devices. The Demikernel architecture offers a uniform system call API across kernel-bypass technologies (e.g., RDMA, DPDK) and OS functionality (e.g., a…
