P4DNS

P4DNS is a DNS server written in P4. It is designed to integrate into reprogrammable switches in data center racks and accelerate DNS requests. We found throughput improvements of more than 50x and latency improvments of 100x over traditional software solutions.

GCC

GCC is the largest open source compiler toolchain. My work focused on backend optimizations for Arm architecture targets.
