Since the dawn of computing, the world has tracked system
performance. Yet, computer system performance data is still primarily
siloed by benchmark, system, or system component. The Mission of the
Computer Systems Genome Project (CSGenome) is to conduct the first
scientific effort to catalog the lineage of computer system performance
over time to enable knowledge discovery and further understanding of
the impact of computing innovations on transformative technologies,
the knowledge-based economy, and societal change.
The CSGenome Project is led by Professors Kirk W. Cameron (PI),
Godmar Back (co-PI and Technical Advisor), and Margaret Ellis (co-PI and Team Leader) and
an extremely talented group of more than a dozen Virginia Tech
undergraduate and graduate students.

CSG Team - Faculty
Kirk W. Cameron, Ph.D.
Professor of Computer Science and a Research Fellow in the College of Engineering at Virginia Tech. The central theme of his research is to improve power and performance efficiency in high performance computing (HPC) systems and applications. Accolades for his work include NSF and DOE Career Awards, IBM and AMD Faculty Awards, and being named Innovator of the Week by Bloomberg Businessweek Magazine. In 2017-2018, Prof. Cameron held a Distinguished Visiting Fellowship at Queen’s University Belfast from the U.K. Royal Academy of Engineering. He is Director of the stack@cs Center for Computer Systems and the Scalable Performance Laboratory. Kirk is overall VarSys project lead PI and heads the HPC Systems Team.
Margaret Ellis, M.S.
Associate Professor of the Practice of Computer Science in the College of Engineering at Virginia Tech. As a passionate teacher of key courses such as problem solving and data structures, her work lies at the intersection of computer science research, computer science education, and challenges of diversity and inclusion in the field. Among other accolades for her teaching efforts she was awarded the 2015 Engineering Inclusive Teaching (EIT) Inclusive Educators Award by Women in Engineering ProActive Network (WEPAN). An accomplished entrepreneur and innovator, she received related awards from the regional Roanoke Blacksburg Technology Council in 2010 and 2011 respectively. Margaret contributes substantially to the outreach efforts in the VarSys project and currently leads the Data Analysis and Classification Team of undergraduates creating new protocols for classifying systems for variability.
