Research

My current research interestes include parallel and distributed systems and networked embedded systems. My research lab can be found here. The projects that I am currently involved in include the followings:

Multicore architecture
- Theme: application development, interconnection network design, emulation environment, and trace processing for heterogeneous many-core systems
- Fundings: National Science Concil, Industrial Technology Research Institute
- Collaborators: Prof. Yeh-Ching Chung, Prof. Wei-Chung Hsu (CS, NCTU), Prof. Shiao-Li Tsao (CS, NCTU), Prof. Jing-Jia Liou (EE,NTHU), Prof. Chun-Fa Chang (CS, NTNU), Prof. Chih-Tsun Huang
- Outcomes: We have developed a cycle-accurate many-core parallel emualtor on Tilera's TILE-64 for studying NoC. We have also developed several NoC designs that leverage knowledges of application behaviors to speculate future requests. We have also studied execution traces of many-core systems and investigated ways the traces can be more useful for architecutre research. Our current research focuses more on heterogeneous many-core systems.
Android power profiling and context framework
- Theme: profiling of Android systems, focusing particularly on power, context framework and its applications
- Fundings: MediaTek
- Collaborators: Prof. Shiao-Li Tsao (CS, NCTU), Prof. Jing-Jia Liou (EE,NTHU), Prof. Chih-Tsun Huang
- Outcomes: We have deveoped a cross-layer power profiling tool for Android, called ANEPROF. The tool can trace the power consumption of an application program down to the subroutine level. We have also developed a framework on Android that collects context information to faciliate context-aware applications. One application of the framework is to manage the applications in Android for fast launching and low power-consumption.

I have also worked on parallel compiltation, cluster and distributed systems, interconnection networks, peer-to-peer networking, and wireless sensor networks. An interesting early project that had profound impacts on Taiwan's on-line games is King of Kings (MUD) (萬王之王). This game was developed by Ruby and Onyx, while Onyx was my MS student. In 1998, the game was reengineered to run on a distributed architecture, based on the MS thesis of Onyx. The new architecture allowed 1000 users on-line at the same time, the first ever in Taiwan's on-line games.
