Welcome to SYSLAB!

We are a group of system software researchers in the College of Information and Communication Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University. Our research interests are generally in system software and operating systems in the context of datacenter systems, cloud computing, IoT, and AI. More specifically:

• High performance Linux kernel stacks: network, remote I/O, storage, and CPU scheduling.

• Intelligent networked systems: system-level design of network protocols and algorithms.

• Intelligent system software: system framework/component design with ML.

We are looking for highly motivated graduate (PhD, MS+PhD) students. Please send me an email if you are interested (jh.hwang at skku.edu).
