Biography

My name is Akhil Guliani. I am currently a PhD student in Computer Sciences at University of Wisconsin-Madison, Wisconsin, USA. I recently graduated with a Master of Science in Computer Engineering Program from Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, USA. I hold a Bachelor of Engineering in Instrumentation and Control Engineering from Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology, New Delhi, India.

I currently do research in resource management in operating systems, and currently working on power aware computing systems. This is kind of a continuation of my Masters Research thesis where I found ways to model the thermal behaviour of a system using machine learning methods. I am a hacker at heart and love building things. this has led me to take a liking for hackathons. I am also hobbiest embedded systems hacker and am currently working on a app to visulaize music with RGB LED strips.

Dark Shadows: User-level Guest/Host Linux Process Shadowing

A shadow process on the host mirrors a process in the guest at the level of the virtual and physical address space, terminating in the host physical addresses. We describe a shadow process technique that is implemented entirely at user level in both the guest and the host. In our technique, we refer to the host shadow process as a dark shadow as it arranges its own elements to avoid conflicting with the guest process’s elements. We demonstrate the utility of dark shadows by using our implementation to create system call forwarding and device file-level device virtualization tools that are compact and simple.
