Short Bio
Chen Ding's research seeks to understand the composite and emergent behavior in complex computer systems, including program locality and scalability, reference affinity, and program phases. Based on behavior models, his group develops software techniques for locality optimization, memory management, and recently suggestion-based program parallelization and optimization. His work received young investigator awards from NSF and DOE. He co-founded the ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Memory System Performance and Correctness (MSPC) and was a visiting researcher at Microsoft Research and a visiting professor at MIT. He is currently an IBM Center for Advanced Studies Fellow. He teaches compilation, programming languages, programming, and scalable system design.
