About

Hello! I am Qingcai Jiang, a PhD student from University of Science and Technology of China. I major in computer architechture under the supervision of Prof. Hong An. I have broad interest on computer architecture, parallel computing and workload characterization. I am also affiliated with Prof. Onur Mutlu's research group in ETH Zurich.

Research Overview

I'm mainly working on computer architecture, near-data processing and virtual memory with Prof. Onur Mutlu's research group. I had the opportunity to work closely with Prof. Wei Hu on accelerating large-scale quantum chemistry calculations in heterogeneous systems like GPUs and the Sunway supercomputer during my bachelor's and the first several years of my PhD. I also had the chance to collaborate with Jiong Wang on workload charaterization on Huawei's Kunpeng 920 CPU.
