Kalyan Muthukumar
Principal Engineer,
Intel Technology, India

A Ph.D in Computer Science from University of Texas at Austin and a B.Tech from IIT Madras, Kalyan’s expertise lies in compiler optimization, code generation, software pipelining, scheduling, performance analysis etc.

He has implemented several optimizations in the Itanium Processor Family compiler, particularly in the Software Pipelining and Global Code Scheduling phases. In the Software Pipelining phase, he has implemented optimizations such as riffling, compare speculation, early exit transformations, etc. This phase plays a key role in the performance of applications, which are loop-intensive; it accounts for about one-third of the performance gains for SpecFP benchmarks. He has six patents pending for his work.

He also built the intellectual property (IP) harvesting program in Intel India and made it world-class, going from 0 to 160 invention disclosures per year.

Kalyan has received many awards both from Intel Compiler Labs and Itanium Processor Family IPF Compiler Labs for achieving performance goals and successfully tuning customer applications.

For his invaulable contributions, Kalyan has been honored by the designation of Principle Engineer (PE) at Intel.

Kalyan can answer all your queries related to developing applications for the multi-core platform. Post questions on developing multitasking client apps; scale up multithreaded applications to the multi-core processors; benefits and challenges of writing code for multiple cores etc.
