简介

Sarita V. Adve is Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her research interests are in computer architecture and systems, parallel computing, and power and reliability-aware systems. Her most significant research contributions are in the areas of memory consistency models for multiprocessors (she co-developed the memory models for the C++ and Java programming languages, which are based on her early work on data-race-free models); hardware reliability (she co-developed the concept of lifetime reliability aware architectures and dynamic reliability management); power management (she led the design of one of the first systems to implement cross-layer energy management); exploiting instruction-level parallelism (ILP) for memory system performance (she co-authored some of the first papers on exploiting ILP for memory level parallelism); and evaluation techniques for shared-memory multiprocessors with ILP processors (she led the development of the widely used RSIM architecture simulator).
