His research interests are in the fields of Computer Architecture, Hardware Security, and Emerging Memory Technologies.

Research Interest

Major Research Area: Computer Architecture

My current research focus is on Chip Multiprocessors (CMP) specifically the issues of Last Level Cache (LLC), Network on Chip (NoC) and DRAM Caches. I am currently working on the topics mentioned below:

• Hardware security of cache memories in CMPs.
• Performance enhancement of LLCs in Tiled Based CMP (TCMP).
• Minimizing the on-chip communication latency in TCMP.
• Energy consumption and temperature optimization of LLC, NoC and DRAM cache memories.
• Smart replacement policies for different NUCA (Non Uniform Cache Access) based cache memory architectures.
