Performance Analysis and Optimization of Systems w/Aditya Kumar

Welcome to our first zoom talk with San Francisco based Compiler Engineering and Performance Optimization Expert, Aditya Kumar. Please join us online to learn more about the Analysis and Optimization of Systems on Monday, January 11th, 2021.

Talk Abstract:

With the rise of complex systems that run on a large number of devices on server farms, performance analysis has become ever so important. Having a comprehensive knowledge of different abstraction layers of a system allows the engineer to make right performance optimization where it makes most sense. This lecture will cover different layers of system where performance opportunities are present. The audience will learn that often changes at the right level can dramatically improve performance without significant engineering cost.

About Aditya:

Aditya Kumar (https://www.linkedin.com/in/hiraditya/) is a deep expert in analyzing the performance and quality of large code bases and specializes in writing novel compiler algorithms that improve efficiency in widely deployed systems. He wrote a thesis that was titled ‘Rejuvenating C++ programs through demacrofication’. This work has been partially implemented in the well known Visual C++ IDE.
