Research Experience:

My research topic is developing a parallel FFT library. The various FFT applications in many important fields make it desirable to have a highly optimized implementation. Taking the advantage of the hierarchical structure of the modern computer architecture and pipeling instruction operations it is possible to develop a high performance adaptive FFT implementation. Although some inherent characteristics of FFT algorithms are not amiable to the modern computer architecture, such as imbalance operations of addition and multiplication, high demand of load and store operations, we can overcome these difficulties by using a composable blocks of codelets, each computing a part of the transform and selecting the optimal combination of these codelets at runtime.
