| Biography |
|---|
| I am a grade 11 student at Cardinal Newman Catholic Secondary School. I am a member of multiple clubs which include the Peer Mentors, Year End Video, and Science Olympics. I represent my school in many different Math, Physics, and Computing competitions, which are fields that I am interested in. I plan to study Math, Physics, and Computers in University and proceed with graduate work after. My passion for Science and Technology was fostered at a young age when I was interested in space. That interest developed into Math, Physics, and Computers. I am inspired by John von Neumann, as he made many contributions in various fields, which is what I want to do. |

An Innovative Approach to Multi-core Processor Interconnection Networks
| Challenge: | Information | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Bay Area | | City: | Hamilton, ON | | School: | Cardinal Newman Catholic S.S. | | Abstract: | This project aims to assess the potential of a tree-based interconnection network with a hierarchy-based cache coherence protocol to interconnect a large number of processor cores together, compared to a 2d-mesh interconnection network and cache coherence protocol. The architecture was developed and implemented on the GEM5 simulator and on a Altera FPGA. |
