Our work on bringing OpenMP implementations into the kernel has been accepted to SC ‘21! Congratulations to everyone involved on the successful collaborative effort!

Our paper, which was a collaboration with Mike Rainey and Umut Acar at CMU, Ryan Newton at Facebook, Nikos Hardavellas, Simone Campanoni, and Nikos Hardavellas was accepted to PLDI ‘21! Among other things, this work leverages the Nautilus kernel to achieve uncompromising parallelism.

Kyle is honored to have won the College of Computing’s Excellence in Teaching award for the 2020 academic year!

Nick won the College of Computing 2020 Excellence in Undergraduate Research Award. Congratulations Nick!

A team of three IIT faculty (Rujia Wang, Kyle Hale, and Xian-He Sun) and a collaborator at the University of Iowa, Peng Jiang won an award from NSF to investigate novel architectures for next-generation systems integrating near-data processing.

Happy to annouce that we received an NSF planning award from the Principles and Practices of Scalable Systems (PPoSS) program solicitaiton! This is a collaborative grant with Simone Campanoni, Peter Dinda, and Nikos Hardavellas from Northwestern University, and Mike Rainey and Umut Acar from Carnegie Mellon University.

A student team from Hale and Jin’s System and Network Security course (CSP 544) competed in the National Cyber League Capture the Flag competition. They placed 2nd in their bracket; congratulations all!

Kyle is happy to serve on the technical program committee for the 15th Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC ‘20). Those interested should submit a paper! The workshop is free to attend via Zoom due to the current COVID-19 situation.

Brian accepted an offer to intern at VMware Research with Josh Simons during the Summer of 2020. He’ll be working on HPC virtualization. Congrats Brian!

Iris and Hussain are going to graduate school! Iris will be working with Natalie Enright Jerger’s architecture group at the University of Toronto. Hussain will be working in the Compilers group at Northwestern University with Simone Campanoni.
