Welcome to the Power-Aware Computer Systems (PACS) Laboratory in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at The Ohio State University (OSU). The PACS lab was founded by Prof. Xiaorui Wang in 2006.

Multiple GRA positions available

The power-aware computer systems (PACS) lab at The Ohio State University (OSU) has multiple NEW fully-funded GRA positions available immediately for self-motivated students to pursue Ph.D. degrees in Computer Engineering, starting Spring or Autumn 2026.

Our lab recently received multiple NSF grants to do cutting-edge research on making computer systems more energy-efficient to support sustainable AI, which includes several aspects, such as GPU data center, mobile computing, and real-time embedded systems. For GPU data center, we manage the resources of a large number of GPUs to process machine learning or deep learning workloads in a highly energy-efficient way. For mobile computing, we apply machine learning algorithms to improve the performance and energy efficiency of mobile devices, like smartphones or IoT devices. For real-time embedded systems, it is about how to schedule real-time applications, such as autonomous driving tasks, on embedded GPUs to meet real-time deadlines.

If interested, please email me your detailed CV.

Positions can be available immediately for students who are currently at OSU.
