Hi patrick!

About Me

Mattia's profile pic

I’m a PhD student from Italy. My current advisor is Prof. Renato Mancuso. My research is about real-time and embedded systems. I like to test my skills, especially when working in a team. I’m a curious person and a thinker, I like to ”hack” things to make them work better or to understand how they work. My favorite hobbies are photography, hiking, camping and reading.

Research Interests

Benchmarking

Benchmarking is much needed in all computer science, so my focus is creating a periodic framework to easily collect data from several platforms with a uniform interface.

Application Profiling

Profiling applications if fundamental to understand their resource usage. My interest is to build fine-grained resource profiles to enable systems to tune the amount of resources assigned to each applciation.

PS+PL Systems

PS+PL systems are a technology that has been used for building accelerators, since they feature programmable hardware. However, what can also be explored is how this programmable logic can be used to improve/obstruct interactions between different hardware components.

Projects

RT-Bench

RT-Bench is a collection of popular benchmarks for real-time applications which have been restructured to be executed periodically. In addition to the periodic execution, execution statistics for each period are collected and exported with a uniform interface.
