Research Interests

My current research is on architecture description languages, we automatically generate compiler components, a cycle accurate simulator, and even hardware (VHDL) from a given architecture specification. The compiler generation is already working for a proprietary backend and is currently ported to the open source compiler infrastructure LLVM. The simulator uses a mixed approach based on interpretation and dynamic compilation via the LLVM JIT compiler.

In general I'm interested in code generation techniques, register allocation, instruction scheduling and instruction bundling for VLIW architectures, as well as simulation techniques, such as dynamic binary translation.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Open source compiler infrastructure for static and dynamic compilation. LLVM is the target of our compiler generator. In addition, the LLVM JIT is used in our simulator for binary translation.
