Ep 7: Domain-specific Systems for AR/VR and Extended Reality with Dr. Sarita Adve, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Dr. Sarita Adve is the Richard T. Cheng Professor of Computer
Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her
research interests span the system stack, including hardware,
programming languages, operating systems, and applications. She
co-developed the memory consistency models for the C++ and Java
programming languages, based on her early work on data-race-free
(DRF) models, and has made innovative contributions to
heterogenous computing and software-driven approaches to
resiliency. Her group recently released the Illinois Extended
Reality testbed (ILLIXR), the first fully open source extended
reality system to democratize XR systems research and
development. She is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and
Science, IEEE, ACM and a recipient of the ACM SIGARCH Maurice
Wilkes award. As ACM SIGARCH chair, she co-founded the CARES
movement, and is a winner of the CRA distinguished service award.
