Projects

Only some selected projects are introduced here.

A heterogeneous DNN inference engine for Web apps

I designed a heterogeneous DNN engine for Web apps, named WEngine, which uses pipeline parallelism to optimize DNN inference throughput in Web browsers. I modified TensorFlow.js to implement WEngine, including programming about WebGL, WebAssembly and Web worker.

This work has been published in MobiSys 2022.

A measurement study of deep learning in Web browsers

We evaluated the performance of different deep learning inference frameworks for Web apps. I implemented a performance measurement tool, which can control the experiment procedure and collect the measurement results.

This work has been published in WWW 2019.

An empirical study of embedded Web pages in mobile apps

I conducted an empirical study about embedded Web pages in mobile applications. I implemented an automated testing tool targeting the embedded Web pages in mobile apps. Then I revealed the prevalence, characteristics, and performance of the embedded Web pages.

This work has been published in IEEE TMC 2021.
