Biography
Babak is a Professor in the School of Computer and Communication Sciences and the founding director of the EcoCloud research center pioneering future energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly cloud technologies at EPFL. He has made numerous contributions to computer system design and evaluation including a scalable multiprocessor architecture which was prototyped by Sun Microsystems (now Oracle), snoop filters and temporal stream prefetchers that are incorporated into IBM BlueGene/P and BlueGene/Q, and computer system simulation sampling methodologies that have been in use by AMD and HP for research and product development. His most notable contribution has been to be first to show that contrary to conventional wisdom, multiprocessor memory programming models -- known as memory consistency models -- prevalent in all modern systems are neither necessary nor sufficient to achieve high performance. He is a recipient of an NSF CAREER award, IBM Faculty Partnership Awards, and an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship. He is a fellow of IEEE and ACM.
NEWS
CloudSuite 3.0 is now released (with tutorials at EuroSys and HiPEAC in 2016). CloudSuite 3.0 is Docker-ready and integrated into Google PerfKit.
Cavium ThunderX, a recent ARM-based server processor, is the first scale-out processor which is workload-optimized based on our work in "Clearing the Clouds" and the first version of CloudSuite. See this article in EETimes from EEMBC and Cavium.
The EuroCloud Server project has been hailed as a "flagship" project to drive innovation in datacenter design by EU. See the ACM Tech report snippet.
RESEARCH
Babak's research and educational activities primarily center around architectural innovation to address four emerging challenges in the design and performance-scalability of future computer systems: (1) the programming wall, due to the emergence of multiprocessor chips as the hardware pillars for future IT infrastructure and the lack of commodity parallel software, (2) the memory wall, due to the ever-growing gap between processor and memory performance, (3) the technology wall, due to the exponential increase in system power consumption and the dramatic reduction in circuit reliability and testability in emerging CMOS fabrication processes, and (4) the simulation wall, due to the increase in hardware and software complexity necessitating detailed modeling and representative measurement. He investigates techniques to address these challenges in the context of the following projects:
- CloudSuite: A Benchmark Suite for Scale-Out Workloads
- SimFlex/ProtoFlex: Fast, Full-System Scalable Multiprocessor Simulation/Emulation
- Scale-Out NUMA: Rack-Scale Computer Architecture
- VISA: Server Processors for the Dark Silicon Era
