Myles Watson's Homepage
I am a PhD student at Brigham Young University in the Performance Evaluation Lab of the Computer Science department. Kelly Flanagan is my advisor.
For my PhD dissertation, I'm exploring the relationships between main memory and disk. I'm interested in persistent, hardware managed single-level stores.
My Master's thesis explored the inaccuracies inherent in the BACH (BYU Address Collection Hardware) method of collecting address traces.
While working on my Master's, I built HACS (Hardware Accelerated Cache Simulation) and worked with PHA$E.
PUBLICATIONS:I submitted a talk abstract to the Workload on Architectural Research Prototyping (WARP '06), which is held in conjunction with ISCA. You can read it here
