Projects

The OpenROAD project is a non-profit project, originally funded by DARPA with the aim of creating open-source EDA tools; an Autonomous flow from RTL-GDSII that completes < 24 hrs, to lower cost and boost innovation in IC design.

StatTag is a free, open-source software plug-in for conducting reproducible research. It facilitates the creation of dynamic documents using Microsoft Word documents and statistical software, such as Stata, SAS, R, and Python.

[AIIO] (https://github.com/hpc-io/aiio) revolutionizes the way for users to automatically tune the I/O performance of applications on HPC systems. It currently works on linear regression models but has more opportunities to work on heterogeneous data, such as programming info.

[FasTensor] (https://github.com/BinDong314/FasTensor) is a generic tensor processing engine with scalability from single nodes to thousands of nodes on HPC. FasTensor supports applications from traditional SQL query to complex DFT solver in scientific applications.

SLICES-RI is a european research initiative aiming to create a digital research infrastructure providing an experimental platform for the upcoming decades. One of the main goals of this initiative is the creation of fully reproducible experiments.

Gradual typing is a solution to the longstanding tension between typed and untyped languages: let programmers write code in any flexible language (such as Python), equip the language with a suitable type system that can describe invariants in part of a program, and use run-time checks to ensure soundness.

PolyPhy is a GPU oriented agent-based system for reconstructing and visualizing optimal transport networks defined over sparse data. Rooted in astronomy and inspired by nature, we have used an early prototype called Polyphorm to reconstruct the Cosmic web structure, but also to discover network-like patterns in natural language data.

Contributing to an open source project is a great way to build a technical portfolio, learn industry tools/practices, and have real-world impact – all while embedded in a collaborative community. The UC Santa Cruz Open Source Program Office (OSPO) wants to support more students on this path, especially those who have been minoritized in tech.

eBPF is a technology that allows sandboxed programs to run in a priviledged context such as a Linux kernel. eBPF is for operating systems what Javascript is for web browsers: new functionality can be safely loaded without restarting or continually upgrading the operating system or browser and executed efficiently.

As mobile devices with dual WiFi and cellular interfaces become widespread, network protocols have been developed that utilize the availability of multiple paths. This project is about developing a framework for rigorous, repeatable, and comprehensive evaluations of multipath protocols.
