Research

1. Phd thesis: a polyhedral-friendly intermediate language for DSLs
• Different DSLs are translated into PENCIL, a polyhedral-friendly intermediate language.
• Polyhedral optimizations are then performed on PENCIL.
• Accelerator code is then generated (we target OpenCL).
• This project is supported by ARM, and funded by the European Union.
2. Engineering internship: scopLib support for GCC
• Worked with Sebastian pop (AMD) on making GCC able to communicate with advanced polyhedral optimization tools. *
• A part of Google Summer of Code 2010 (pdf).
• I wrote the 5 Tips to get your Google Summer of Code proposal accepted.
  

Other

• Google Technology User Group (Algiers GTUG).
• OpenESI initiative : a collection of Algerian open source projects, the goal is to encourage students to work on open source projects.
• TestOs : an educational & research operating system kernel.
• CM-swap: we studied in this project the effectiveness of creating an adaptive platform for memory compression in the Linux kernel based on compcache.
