Exploring the world with my cat Neumann

Yuan Feng

I'm a 4th-year Ph.D. student at the University of California, Merced, fortunate to work with Prof. Hyeran Jeon. Prior to that, I received my M.Sc from the University of Edinburgh, and my B.E. from Xiamen University.

My research areas are Computer Architecture (more specifically, GPGPU Architecture, Memory systems and their interaction with ML). I design high performance, robust, and energy-efficient Hardware Architecture and Systems. My recent work focuses on designing architecture support for Efficient Multi-GPU collective primitives.
