There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Given the increasing emphasis on multicore computing, concurrency management will likely be one of the key techniques used to unleash the power of multicore processors. In this work, Dr. Hong aims to optimize thread-level concurrency, investigate architecture features for efficient shared data accesses, and use those features to dynamically control the advancement of concurrent threads and the allocation of CPU resources.
Results from Dr. Hong's research are expected to significantly improve the performance of multicore computing and expand the range of applications that can benefit from such processor platforms. This work is expected to facilitate efficient multicore processing for computation-demanding applications in science, engineering, and business.
Dr. Hong is based at Georgia Tech Savannah and is the second ECE faculty member at that campus to receive an NSF CAREER Award. He came to Georgia Tech in September 2008, after spending three years as an assistant professor with the ECE Department at Drexel University.
