William Wang

William Wang is a Staff Research Engineer at Arm Research.  His main research interests are in systems analysis and optimisations, with strong focus on memory subsystems, including caches, volatile and non-volatile memories. His research interests in memory subsystems span across hardware and software boundaries, he has built data movements profiling tools, and is experienced in complex software workloads characterisations and optimisations. He currently leads non-volatile memory systems work in Arm Research, understanding NVM use cases and implications on Arm architecture and systems.
