Curriculum Vitae

Robert Khasanov has received his Bachelor's and Master’s degree in Computer Science from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in 2012 and 2014 respectively.  During the study, he also held positions at Intel where he was working on optimising binary translator system, and then in LLVM compiler project. In 2015 Robert carried out an internship at Scalable Parallel Computing Lab (ETH Zurich) where he was working on optimal data replication in fault tolerant distributed databases. Currently, Robert is a Ph.D. student at the Chair for Compiler Construction. In his studies, he works on language support and optimizations for energy-efficient execution of multiple applications on emerging systems. Key interests include dataflow languages with implicit and explicit parallelism, compiler-runtime interaction, and energy optimizations.

Student Thesis Topics

At the Chair for Compiler Construction, we are developing a hybrid system called TETRiS, which aims at energy-efficient and predictable execution of multiple applications. The system exploits inherited symmetries in hardware and software to reduce the design space exploration. The approach consists of two parts, at design-time, the set of Pareto-optimal configurations is generated, and then depending on the current workload, the configurations are selected and transformed at runtime.

Possible project topics include:

  • Runtime adaptivity of Kahn Process Networks with implicit parallelism

Kahn process networks (KPN) are an abstraction for modeling computation which makes communication patterns explicit. An extension of implicit parallelism for KPN allows applications to change the number of used resources at runtime in a malleable way, which allows applications to adapt to the changes in the environment and, therefore, achieve better energy efficiency. In this project, you will develop this application model in the Mocasin framework, extending the hybrid methodology for this class of applications.

  • Frequency scaling in hybrid mapping methodology

Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling (DVFS) allows reducing the energy consumption of the system further. A naive approach to adapt DVFS in the hybrid methodology would be to generate the operating points for each available frequency configuration of the platform. This, however, would lead to a blow-up of operating points and a complex runtime algorithm. In this research project, you will develop an interplay of the hybrid methodology with frequency scaling.

  • A hybrid approach for mixed-critical applications

In this work, you will refine the hybrid methodology approach for non-real-time application and mixed-criticality applications.

  • Runtime scheduling in Linux

In this work, you will develop the runtime algorithm in the prototype in C++ for scheduling applications running on Linux.

This list is open-ended. Feel free to approach me and discuss these or other ideas.
