SUMMARY:Software Bloat: A systems' perspective - K. Gopinath  (Indian Inst
 itute of Science)

CONTACT:Eiko Yoneki
DESCRIPTION:Software bloat is excessive resource consumption due to unused
  (or\nunnecessary) generality present in code\, especially in large framew
 ork based Java applications. In this talk\, we will briefly present some b
 ackground\, then discuss how system bottlenecks and hardware energy propor
 tionality determine the effects of bloat on power consumption.\nWe will ne
 xt discuss newer compiler techniques to mitigate bloat. We will end with a
  brief discussion on the challenges in automatic detection of bloat in lar
 ge applications. This is a joint work with Suparna Bhattacharya\, Karthick
  Rajamani and Manish Gupta.\n\nBio: Prof. K. Gopinath graduated from IIT-M
 adras with a B.Tech. degree and from University of Wisconsin\, Madison wit
 h an MS in Computer Science.\nAfter working at Advanced Micro Devices as a
  Product Planning Engineer\, he joined Stanford University for a Ph.D.(com
 pleted '88).\nAfter a brief stint as a PostDoc at Stanford and then at Sun
  Microsystems Labs\, he joined IISc as a faculty in 1990 where he is now a
  Professor.  His research interests are primarily in the computer systems 
 area (Operating Systems\, Storage Systems\, Computer Systems Security\, So
 ftware Verification).\n\n
