About Us


As the name suggests, at the Computer Systems Lab, we work on improving the quality of computer systems.

We focus particularly on GPUs. Our work spans all the layers of the GPU computing stack, from microarchitectural design to high-level software. We are currently working on GPU memory management, improving the quality of GPU programs, management of large data on GPUs, and GPU-accelerated secure computation.
