LSU ECE Seminar Announcement and Schedule

         On Tuesday, 10 December 2019, 10:00 - 11:00,                  
         in Room 3285 Patrick F. Taylor Hall:                          
                                                                       
             Achieving Better Resource Scheduling through Enhanced     
                             OS and ML Technologies                    
                                                                       
                                    Lei Liu                            
                          Chinese Academy of Sciences                  
                                                                       
         Abstract--To improve resource utilization and meet the new    
         challenges--microservices--in cloud environments, this talk   
         will include the results from our Sys-Inventor lab in recent  
         years. The contents include 1) the technical evolutions for   
         memory partitioning approaches; 2) hybrid memory management in
         OS for systems using NVM-DRAM; and 3) Next Generation OS --   
         leveraging ML to build resource scheduler for microservices.  
         Some of our results benefit both the computer industry and    
         academia.                                                     
                                                                       
         Bio--Lei Liu is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at 
         Institute of Computing Technology (ICT), Chinese Academy of   
         Sciences (CAS), where he leads the Sys-Inventor Lab, which is 
         a part of the State Key Lab of Computer Architecture. He was a
         visiting scholar in CS at the University of Rochester (UR). He
         has led research projects that have advanced Memory Systems,  
         OS, Performance Isolation, and Profiling. As the leading      
         author, Dr.. Liu has published research articles regarding the
         architecture and operating system in venues that include ISCA,
         PACT, IEEE TC, TPDS, ACM TACO, ICCD, and others. Recently, his
         work has focused on the intersection of the hybrid memory     
         system (DRAM-NVM), OS for emerging technologies (including    
         GPU, Graph, Quantum Computing as well as AI). Lei Liu has     
         served as the PC/ERC members, Chairs for a number of          
         mainstream conferences (e.g., HPCA, SC, PACT, ICS, IISWC,     
         ISCA, ASPLOS, ICCD, ICPP, IPDPS, HPCC, General co-Chair for   
         ACM ICS-2018) and reviewer for well-known Transactions (e.g., 
         ACM TACO, ACM JETC, ACM TECS, ACM TRTS, IEEE TPDS).
