At UCR I started my research working under Marcus Chow and Daniel Wong investigating the power usage of hetergenous embedded systems. My work has been using Nvidia's Jetson AGX and Nano.

Using Dynamic Frequency Voltage Scaling (DVFS), we can change the frequency that a processor is running at to give us lower overall power consumption while also providing the performance that we need. This can lead to increased life when run in an environment where power is a limitation, such as battery powered devices.

During the quarter, I did a presentation talking about past DVFS papers as well as my plans for implementing them on the Jetson devices. The slides for this presentation is available here!

Over the Summer before starting my Masters, I worked with Philip Brisk on converting the TFHE to run on an FPGA. I was able to achieve partial CPU performance parity, with room to increase performance with more work.
