Short Bio

Manuel Renz is a part-time Ph.D. student who joined Prof. Sohan Lal's research group in July 2022. He completed his M.Sc. in Computer Science from TU Berlin and gained industry experience working on image processing at CARIAD SE (former Carmeq GmbH). During his master's program, he conducted research on heterogeneous multi-/many-core systems, collaborating with DFKI (Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz) and Technical University of Berlin.

Short Bio

Sohan Lal is a junior professor and head of the Institute of Massively Parallel Systems at Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH). Before joining TUHH, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the Technical University of Berlin (TU Berlin), working on a DFG funded research project on advanced modeling and runtime support for large-scale HPC clusters (Celerity). He graduated with a Ph.D. in Computer Science from TU Berlin in August 2019. His dissertation was titled “Power Modeling and Architectural Techniques for Energy-Efficient GPUs” and was supervised by Prof. Ben Juurlink. At TU Berlin, he worked on two EU funded research projects on low power parallel computing on GPUs (LPGPU), where he led several tasks, collaborated with consortium members to deliver joint deliverables and contributed significantly to their success. His Ph.D. dissertation work was also conducted in the context of LPGPU projects. For his dissertation, he investigated bottlenecks that cause low performance and low energy efficiency in GPUs and proposed architectural techniques to improve performance and energy efficiency. The results of the dissertation were published in several reputed conferences such as IPDPS, DATE, ISPASS. He won several grants such as HiPEAC travel grants, a HiPEAC collaboration grant to visit Prof. Henk Coporaal (TU/e) that led to a joint publication at DATE. He was a semifinalist at ACM SRC held at MICRO'18. He is interested in computer architecture in general and graphics processing unit (GPU) architecture in particular and his broad research interests include power and performance modeling, parallel systems, memory systems, heterogeneous computing, approximate computing, applied machine learning, and GPU security.

Short Bio

Tim Lühnen has been pursuing his Ph.D. at the Massively Parallel Systems Group under the supervision of Prof. Sohan Lal since November 2022. He obtained his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Electrical Engineering from Technische Universität Braunschweig, where he graduated in 2021. His master's thesis, titled "An Evaluation of Softcore Processors for Fault-tolerant Computing Platforms," demonstrated his expertise in the field of fault-tolerant computing.
