Hello.

My name is Hyunsun Chung. I also go by Horace in the English speaking part of the world. Welcome to my obligatory “corner of the internet”.

I’m working to be a well-rounded computer systems engineer in all regards, from operating systems to storage.

With that said, I’m not much of a web design guru, so you’ll have to make do with a template I found lying around.

Anyways, enjoy your time here with the little stuff I’ve got here.

Research Interests

Next generation storage devices

Experimental NAND flash based storage and their operating system/file system support.

Emerging memory device concepts

Tiered memory systems and experimental CXL memory devices.

LLM inference optimization

Attention offloading and smart KV cache reuse.
