Research
Research directions and active themes at Max Systems Lab.
Our current agenda is organized into four active focus areas aligned with architecture modeling, compiler/program optimization, retrieval systems, and architecture security.
Architecture Design and Performance Modeling
ML-agents for Architecture Evaluation and Design
We build ML agents that evaluate and guide architecture design with strong out-of-distribution generalization, clearer explanations, and higher reliability. The...
Program/Compiler Optimization
Understanding Programs from Architectural Perspective
Program and compiler analysis from an architectural perspective improves optimization across heterogeneous systems. The work develops robust program representations, handles...
System Design for Information Retrieval
HW/SW co-design for Large Scale Retrieval Systems
Hardware-software co-design for large-scale information retrieval and RAG systems is a central direction in the lab. The group explores scalable...
Architecture and Security
Secure Hardware Systems
Secure hardware-system design and architecture-security co-optimization define this direction. The team builds methods to evaluate proprietary designs with proprietary benchmarks...
