overview
I'm interested in anything related to making computation go faster. My focus is on microarchitecture and the interaction between the compiler and the microarchitecture. I've been doing a lot of work in branch prediction and more recently caches. I'm known for inventing the perceptron branch predictor as well as for other research.
