Miquel Pericàs is an Associate Professor at Chalmers University of Technology. His research interests cover parallel and heterogeneous programming models, and hardware/software codesign with a focus on SIMD architectures. At Chalmers Miquel is responsible for two courses on parallel programming and development and optimization of HPC software. Hi is currently serving as the Chalmers representative in the RISC-V International foundation. View the full list of publications on his Google Scholar page. 

Bhavishya's research primarily focuses on memory subsystems, with an emphasis on scalable cache coherence mechanisms and NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access) architectures. He is also passionate about developing energy-efficient resource management techniques to optimize system performance and sustainability. View the full list of publications on his Google Scholar page. 

Minyu's research interests lie in High-Performance Computing (HPC), computing architecture, and parallel programming. By exploring advanced computing architectures, such as multi-core and many-core processors, she aims to enhance performance and scalability in HPC systems for parallel applications. Particularly, she works on collaborative scheduling between the operating system and the applications in order to reduce the impact of system noise.

Jing’s research primarily focuses on energy efficiency and task scheduling techniques. Her work involves  developing energy-efficient task scheduling techniques, utilizing hardware controls and task characteristics to optimize energy-performance trade-offs. She is also interested in performance and power modeling, GPU computing and scheduling for energy efficiency. View the full list of publications on her Google Scholar page. 

Sonia's research focuses on the combined exploration of the optimization space for convolutional algorithms and the design space of tightly coupled architectures, with the goal of providing insights for designing future CPUs optimized for CNN inference. So far, she has investigated optimizations for the im2col+GEMM, Winograd, and Direct algorithms, along with tuning of micro-architectural parameters such as vector lengths, L2 cache, and on-chip parallelism on long vector architectures (RISC-VV, ARM-SVE). Now her interest is leading towards exploring dense transformers on multi-core architectures.

Hari's research focuses on performance characterization of the SYCL and OpenMP programming models, with an emphasis on SYCL through detailed micro-benchmarking. Additionally, he explores the feasibility of Process-In-Memory (PIM) processors within modern heterogeneous computing environments, aiming to unlock their potential for enhancing scientific applications.
