 My <a href="http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/lazowska/cra">research</a> is currently focused on finding ways to improve the performance of uniprocessor on-chip memories.  The preliminary part of this research involves exploring the virtues of explicit memory management; memory-mapping part of a cache into the program's address space, or treating it as a large register file.  This research is a key component of the  <a href="http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~galileo/">Galileo</a> project, which is attempting both to identify fundamental long-term limitations to improved performance  and to propose near- and far-term solutions.  This is joint work with  <a href="http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~alain/alain.html">Alain K&auml;gi</a>,  <A HREF="http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~kaxiras/kaxiras.html">Stefanos Kaxiras</A>, and <a href="http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~goodman/goodman.html">Jim Goodman</a>.<p>
