Prospective PhD Student Runyu Lu - HUST
Dear Professor [Professor’s Last Name],
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Runyu Lu, 19 years old, a fourth-year undergraduate student majoring in Computer Science at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in China, with a GPA of 3.95/4.00.
I am writing to express my keen interest in joining the PhD program at [University Name] under your esteemed guidance, with a specific focus on MLsys, particularly in LLM Serving and ML compilers.I would like to know whether or not you would enroll PhD Students in 2024?
Research Experience: Currently, I am serving as a research intern advised by Prof Hao Zhang at UCSD LMsys LAB, where I am actively involved in profiling the bottlenecks of current LLM Serving Framework and contributing to a project aimed at improving the GPU SM utilization of LLM serving.I have also had the privilege of interning under the guidance of Prof Lingming Zhang@UIUC PLSE Lab, using LLM to fuzz Compilers like LLVM, with a paper already submitted to FSE’24(available on arxiv this month). Furthermore, I co-authored a paper related to Large Dynamic Graph Serving Acceleration, which is set to be submitted to ICDE’24, under the guidance of Prof Hai Jin@HUST CGCL lab
Industry Experience: I once developed high performance neural network inference engine(18k+ star in Github now) for Tencent Company. I have also contributed to optimizing LLVM backends for GPU compilers while interning at SenseTime Company. These experiences have significantly enhanced my coding abilities.
Future Plan: I really admire your reputation in MLsys and High performance computing your research about xxx really attracts me. In my eyes, we could xxxxx
Attached please find my CV, Transcripts, and Website link at https://lry89757.github.io. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of joining your esteemed research group and would greatly appreciate your prompt response.
Best regards,
Runyu Lu
