Weihang Jiang


Ph.D. candidate in CS Department at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. I am working with Prof. Yuanyuan Zhou at Opera group.

Research Statement

As rapid advances in computing hardware have led to dramatic improvement in computer performance, the issues of reliability, availability, maintainability, and cost of ownership are becoming increasingly important.

I am particularly interested in researching on system reliability and availability by exploiting the new features of modern systems, architecture and applying data mining solutions and machine learning algorithms to improve system performance, robustness, reliability and manageability.

JNIC end-point architecture for high-performance communication (Summer Intern with Norman Jouppi (HP fellow) at HP research Lab)

     The goal of co-operated project between HP and Intel is to, along the trend of Chip-level Multi Processor, design and implement novel high-performance communication architecture by attaching NIC (network interface card) to cores closely, through front-side bus, and virtualizing communication device through running networking stack on dedicated core.
