About

Hi! I am Gerasimos Gerogiannis, a PhD candidate in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Since Gerasimos tends to be difficult to pronounce, I am mostly known by my nickname Makis. I am a member of the i-acoma computer architecture group and I am advised by Professor Josep Torrellas.

My research focuses on accelerator-centric computing for machine learning, graph analytics, and scientific applications. Alongside developing accelerator architectures, I have proposed techniques for accelerator interfacing, performance modeling, software- and hardware-level tuning, and large-scale system integration. I have published 14 papers (8 as first author), with most appearing in top-tier venues such as ISCA, MICRO, ASPLOS, HPCA, and ICML. In addition, I have filed four U.S. patents with Intel on CPU architecture redesign for Machine Learning workloads. Among other awards, my research has been recognized with one IEEE MICRO Top Pick and one Honorable Mention.
