Bio:
Saman Amarasinghe is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He leads the Commit compiler group and is the co-leader of the MIT Raw project. Under his guidance, the Commit group innovated and developed the StreamIt language and compiler for the streaming domain, Superword Level Parallelism for multimedia extensions, DynamoRIO dynamic instrumentation system, Program Shepherding to protect programs against external attacks, a theoretical framework to unify parallelism and storage optimization, and Convergent Scheduling and Meta Optimization that uses machine learning techniques to simplify the design and improve the quality of compiler optimization. His research interests are in discovering novel approaches to improve the performance of modern computer systems without unduly increasing the complexity faced by application developers, compiler writers, or computer architects. Saman is also the founder and currently the Chief Technology Officer of Determina Corporation, which is productizing Program Shepherding. Saman received his BS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Cornell University in 1988, and his MSEE and Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1990 and 1997, respectively.
