Dinesh Agarwal
My name is Dinesh Agarwal aka dinwal (first three letters of first name and last three letters of last name). I am a third year PhD student at Department of Computer Science@Georgia State University. My area of interest is Parallel and Distributed Computing, both theory and practice. I am particularly interested in developing techniques to introduce parallelism at multicore, manycore and GPU platforms in a way that we can adroitly harness the power of these platforms. If parallel computing is a new word to you, an analogy to it is McDonalds. People there, work in parallel to serve your order. Those guys represent processors/resources in a system, each of which takes care of a different individual task. I am working with my adviser Dr. Prasad on efficient data structures for Parallel and Distributed Computing. I am also a member of Dimos Lab@GaTech Campus.
I am interested in working on interesting problems including but not limited to puzzles and trivia. If you are looking for a question, here is one for you: Mr. Jack Casino started trying his luck at poker every day since October 23rd 2005. He has two different locations to play poker, served by two different buses. Every afternoon he goes to the bus stop and rides the bus that comes first. At the last day of a month he realized that in that particular month he visited place 1 almost 93% times. What was the day when he got this thought? Was it sheer luck that he went to that place or there was a reason which took him there so often?
