Prof. Simion is one of my favorite professors at this university (including Karen Reid). He really wants his students to do well in the course and he legitimately care about them. I'm glad I took his operating systems (CSC369) course in Fall 2018. There are tons of material and it's honestly a tough course, but you will definitely learn a lot. You must start doing his assignments early though.

MASc thesis: Scalable and Transparent Parallelization of Multiplayer Games\n-----\nThe thesis work involved implementing Transactional Memory support for scalable and transparent parallelization of multiplayer online games. The goal of the project was to demonstrate that Transactional Memory can be used to outperform traditional lock-based synchronization in terms of scalability and performance and to enable the use of smart locality-aware load balancing policies for multiplayer game servers. The tool used was an in-house developed Transactional Memory library called libTM and for experimental purposes two modified versions of Quake were implemented: a lock-based and a TM-based parallelized Quake.\n\nSome of the preliminary work was published in the conference on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming (PPoPP) 2010. The complete work was later published in the European Conference on Computer Systems (EuroSys) 2010.

B.Sc.
Graduated from a 5-year bachelor's program with a Diplomat Engineer degree in Computer Science and Engineering
with an overall GPA of 9.75 out of 10.00.\n\nFor my bachelor's graduation project
I conducted research in the area of Grid environments with a focus on Grid scheduling. My project involved designing a hybrid algorithm for scheduling workflow applications in grid environments. The work was published in the OTM-GADA2007 conference and Lecture Notes in Computer Science LNCS-4804
