... She and her collab orators have developed compiler optimizations for improving memorysystem performance, high-performance garbage-collection algorithms, scalable explicit-memory management algorithms for parallel systems, and cooperative dynamic optimizations for improving the performance of managed languages. She is leading the compiler effort for the TRIPS project, which is exploring attaining scalable performance improvements using explicit dataflow graph execution architectures.
