⬗ OSM: Off-chip Shared Memory for GPUs

– Contribution to the design and implementation of a innovative on-chip memory handling both the shared memory and L1 data cache accesses. First, Shared memory accesses got logged, which were generated within the GPGPU-Sim simulator, and then studied their locality, liveness, and read-after-write frequency charactersitics. Finally, based on the observations, the proposed mechanism was implemented by changing the source code of GPGPU-Sim simulator. The project resulted in an publication that can be accessed here.

⬗ Cache with different configs

– Implementation of direct-mapped and set-associative caches. The goal was experimenting with different replacement policies and their effect on hit/ miss rate. It can be accessed here.

⬗ Morris Mano's book basic computer

– Implementation of Mano's basic computer in Verilog HDL. It can be accessed here.

⬗ Knowledge dissimenation projects

– As one of my hobbies, I work on design and developing high quality tutorials for those who want to learn fast and easily. You can check them out on my GitHub, my Medium, and my YouTube pages.

⬗ Web Development Projects

– Experience of being a part of two web development teams as a back-end developer. My tasks were mainly about developing queries for feeding the UI forms with correct data. In addition, I experienced developing APIs for sending data in JSON format. URL Shortener API in Go programming language

⬗ Automizing an archiving system and multiple other processes in Microsoft Office with VB

– Design, implementation of an efficient archiving system in Excel with VBA regarding the documents type and their transactions.

⬗ Overprovisioning GPUs in the age of AI

Courses: Large Scale Data Analysis - November 2022

– This #lecture was prepared for computer science master students at the ITU. It reviews machine learning, deep learning and GPUs as the primary general-purpose processors for deep learning training tasks, then the underuitlizatoin challenge of GPUs is discussed and three potential solutions of workload collocation for Nvidia GPUs (multi-stream, MPS, MIG) are discussed.

⬗ Processors

Courses: Large Scale Data Analysis - April 2022/ Big Data Management - November 2022

– This #lecture was prepared for data science bachelor students at the ITU. It reviews computing, processor, transformation hierarchy, tradeoffs of different processors, CPU (simple in-order processor, cache hierarchy, pipelining), GPU, FPGA, ASIC accelerator. A recorded version of the talk can be accessed here.

⬗ GPU Efficiency throguh Intelligent Collocation

6th International Summer School on Resource-Aware Machine Learning (REAML 2022) - September 2022

This #poster was prepared for presenting the undergoing work in the students' corner of the TU Dortmund's summer school. It discusses the underutilization problem of GPUs, especially for deep learning training tasks, the causes of the problem, available collocation options and their performance comparison, and finally next steps.
