I am a researcher working on the Jamaica project, designing future computer architectures, compilers, binary translators and operating systems. I am involved in a range of things:

Metacircular Research Platform

A new design effort and collaboration to make a performant metacircular research platform written in Java

Implementation, Compilation, Optimization of Object-Oriented Languages, Programs and Systems (ICOOOLPS 2009)

I am the chair for the ICOOOLPS 2009 workshop being held at ECOOP.

Principles and Practice of Programming Java (PPPJ 2009)

I am a program committee member for PPPJ 2009.

Multi-Core Computing Systems (MuCoCoS 2009)

I am a program committee member for MuCoCoS 2009.

International Forum on Next-Generation Multicore/Manycore Technologies (IFMT 2008)

I am a chair and program committee member for IFMT 2008.

Implementation, Compilation, Optimization of Object-Oriented Languages, Programs and Systems (ICOOOLPS 2008)

I was a program committee member for ICOOLPS 2008.

Google Summer of Code 2008

I am the organization administrator and mentor for the Jikes RVM in this year's Google SoC

Jikes RVM

I was a core team member of the Jikes RVM and its leading contributor for the last 2 years

PearColator/binarytranslator.org

I look after an open source Java based dynamic binary translator (x86/PPC/ARM).

Transitive

My PhD work was part of the foundation for Transitive Technologies where I worked as a design authority.

I recently wrote a book chapter for O'Reilly on metacircular virtual machine design:

Currently my research is focussed on utilizing transactional memories with my research interests. I am interested in the generation of new languages to improve the exploitation of parallelism within applications.

Me and my beautiful wife LiRong in Llanberis:

I try to maintain some documents that others can read and help contribute to:

• A list of SSA forms.
• A small glossary of compiler related terms.
• Screen shots of things I work with.
• The relationship between Intel's fcomi instruction and Java's floating point compare instructions
