Steven K. Reinhardt

Adjunct Associate Professor

Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
College of Engineering
University of Michigan

I am now employed by AMD at the Research and Advanced Development Lab in Bellevue, Washington, though I primarily telecommute from my home in Vancouver, WA (not Canada).

I am maintaining an adjunct position at U-M while I continue to advise PhD students I was supervising previously. Please continue to use stever@eecs.umich.edu for non-AMD email correspondence.


Research interests

Computer architecture, parallel and distributed systems, operating systems, and computer system simulation.

Current projects

  • Network-Oriented System Architectures. Rapidly increasing network bandwidths make it increasingly difficult for the rest of the system to keep up. This research focuses on the "last few inches" of the Internet, between the network interface and the CPU. How can we optimize the I/O and memory systems (and perhaps the processor itself) to optimize the flow of data between the network and the CPU?
  • Novel Architectures for Large Caches. Our current work in this area focuses on (1) understanding and managing cache sharing on CMP/CMT systems and (2) figuring out how best to leverage 3D die stacking technology, which can provide hundreds of megabytes of low-latency, high-bandwidth DRAM to a processor die.
