CDS 950

Aditya Akella is a Professor and Regents Chair in Computer Sciences at UT Austin and a Research Scientist at Meta.

Modern systems demand smarter decision-making. Today's operating systems rely on rigid, manually-designed policies that can't adapt to increasingly complex hardware and workloads. To address this, we are building LDOS, a Learning-Directed Operating System that treats decision-making design as a data-driven, system-wide optimization problem.

Last week, CS undergraduate students stopped by to meet and connect with the CS Undergraduate Advising team while spending some time with BU’s Community Resource Dog, Bean (Bean)! ❤️

Students got the chance to chat with advisors in a welcoming and relaxed environment, enjoy pizza and drinks, and spend plenty of time with Bean. From feeding her treats to watching her do tricks, Bean definitely stole the show! 🐶

Thank you to Bean, her BUPD handler Matt Quinlan, and everyone who stopped by and helped make the event such a fun afternoon. We loved seeing students connect with the CS community and enjoy spending a wonderful time with Bean!
