Fabien Gaud

Bio

Since October 2011, I am a post-doctoral fellow at Simon Fraser University under the supervision of Dr. Alexandra Fedorova.

Previously, I was PHD student from 2007 to 2010 at Grenoble University. My advisors were Renaud Lachaize, Vivien Quéma and Jean-Bernard Stefani. I was involved in Sardes, a joint team of the INRIA and LIG.
From January 2011 to September 2011, I stayed in the Sardes team as a post-doctoral fellow.

Research interests

I am interested in system support for multicore architectures. More precisely, I am currently considering how network applications, like Web servers or file servers, can take advantage of such architectures.

A part of my work is focused on event-driven programming. With my colleagues, we have designed and implemented Mely, an efficient event-driven runtime for multicore architectures, which is based on Libasync. This runtime is available here.

Teaching

From 2007 to 2010, I was a teaching assistant at Université Joseph Fourier. I was teaching both at UFR-IMA and at RICM, a department of the Polytech'Grenoble school.
