Muthukumar is passionate to share his innovation on prefetching data from memory to the Intel Itanium processor. “The complexity lies in prefetching data using fewer instructions,” he notes. Today his compiler plays a critical role in getting the best performance for applications, which run on Intel Itanium Processors.
Generally prefetching data for multiple memory accesses requires many instructions. However, using special architectural features of the Itanium processor, Muthukumar has come up with a clever way to do such prefetching with fewer instructions. This helps to improve the performance of applications. He believes that innovation is the life-blood of the hi-tech industry, and it is the key driver that will help the Indian companies move up the value chain.
