Server memory management is an evolving and challenging area. With growing memory capacity installed per machine and increasing memory DIMM costs, data center planners are facing with huge increase in memory TCO. A plausible direction is to categorize memory accesses by required service level objective (SLO) with the end goal to map lower SLO request to cheaper but low quality memory resource, while using expensive, highest quality memory resource for most critical application request. I work in Linux server memory management to categorize memory access transparent to the user space.

Jun Yang is a William Kepler Whiteford Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Pittsburgh. Prior to joining the University of Pittsburgh, she was an assistant professor of the Computer Science and Engineering Department at University of California, Riverside. Jun received her bachelor from Nanjing University, China, and her PhD from the University of Arizona in 1995 and 2002 respectively. Jun’s research is in the broad area of computer architecture and her recent focuses include GPU designs, architecture level security, emerging memory technologies, 3D integration, and power and thermal management techniques. Jun is a recipient of NSF CAREER award in 2008, IEEE MICRO Top Picks award in 2010, and best paper awards of ISLPED 2013 and ICCD 2007. She was on the editorial board of IEEE Computer Architecture Letters, and she has served in the Organizing and Technical Program Committee in ISCA, MICRO, and HPCA, for many years. She has been included in the HPCA hall of fame since 2017.

Harini Muthukrishnan is a final year Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Michigan where she is advised by Prof. Tom Wenisch. Her research focuses on improving strong scaling in multi-GPU systems by optimizing fine-grained transfers and is in collaboration with Systems Architecture Research Group at NVIDIA Research.

I am a 4th year PhD student at UNC Chapel Hill, dabbling in hardware security research. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Cynthia Sturton.

I am broadly interested in all aspects of hardware security. The goals of my research are to help hardware designers efficiently build more secure processors that can withstand a wide range of attack programs in the field, as well as to provide interesting insights about hardware vulnerabilities to the community.

I completed my BS in Microelectronics from Peking University, and my MS in Electrical Engineering from Columbia University.
