Lex STEIN

Hello and WELCOME. I was a graduate student in Computer Science and a member of the Harvard Systems Research Group (SyRaH). I was advised by Margo Seltzer. In June of 2007, I received the PhD. I now live in Beijing and am a Researcher at Microsoft Research Asia.

How can I help you? Do you like to program in OCaml? Do you like to use Berkeley-DB for your persistent, transactional data store? Use them together with OCamlbdb, an OCaml interface to Berkeley-DB (download). Do you long to trace the block I/O of your Linux 2.6 kernel? Trace at just above the SCSI driver with this tool (download).

The ACM archives some of my recent papers. Last thing I heard, access was free. If you have any problems, please shoot me an email.

I am currently doing some work with David Holland and Xiaolin Guo on the OS/161 operating system; adapting it to multicore 64-bit x86 machines. If you are interested in OS/161, you can find like-minded people at #os161 on irc.oftc.net.

Dissertation. Adaptive Parallel Computation for Heterogeneous Processors, Stein, 2007. (Caution: 1.3MB, 210 pages).

Alan Mislove and I co-organized SocialNets at EuroSys. It will happen again next year, so begin preparing your submissions!
