Research of environment adaptive software

Aiming for a second paradigm shift in software development following Java, I study that software for normal CPUs is adapted to heterogeneous hardware on the NW where GPUs, FPGAs or many-core CPUs are placed, and the performance is automatically increased. Fundamentally, machines cannot understand human intentions and do not know which parts should be parallelized, so speeding up by manual modification was the mainstream, but by using evolutionary computation or others to efficiently try performance measurement, I achieve automatic convertion and configuration.

I am an active researcher who satisfies all 6 of the outstanding indicators many agree, with each 2 for quality, quantity and quality+quantity of research. Of the 3 highest in the history of NTT Labs, I satisfy 6 at the start of FY2025 with 47 year old.
