Congratulations to Professor
Amer Diwan,
recipient of the IBM Faculty Partnership Award!
Professor Diwan will join IBM's Jalapeño Research Group, which focuses on
the area of compilers and run-time systems for Java. He will be working on
understanding and improving the effectiveness of garbage collection for Java.
This work is based on research he has been doing with student
Martin Hirzel.
Together, they have published papers on this subject,
which are available on their websites.
The goal of their research was to develop a better understanding of the
garbage collector accuracy levels necessary to free up garbage objects
appropriately. In this collaboration with IBM researchers, Professor Diwan
will be taking his work to the next level.
