Shaolin Xie is a research scientist with nine years of experience in processor microarchitecture and full-flow VLSI chip tape-out, currently based in Sunnyvale and working on SoC system software at Alibaba Group. He combines deep academic training (PhD in Computer Science) with hands-on engineering across BIOS, UEFI/ACPI, Trust-Firmware-A and the Linux kernel for aarch64 platforms. His expertise spans VLIW microarchitecture, timing optimization, and digital VLSI, and he’s actively exploring open-source RISC-V, CGRA, and hardware accelerators for DSP, deep learning and data center workloads. Known for bridging research and production, he brings both system-level firmware insight and silicon design experience to complex, configurable computing projects. An understated strength is his track record in driving cross-domain integration from tape-out to system software.
