Short CV

Giuseppe Cofano was born in Fasano (BR), Italy, on April 30, 1987. He received a first level degree and a second level degree (both with honors) in Telecommunications Engineering from “Politecnico di Bari", in December 2009 and July 2012 respectively.

Since January 2013 he is a Ph.D. student at "Politecnico di Bari" and at the "Scuola Interpolitecnica" coordinated by "Politecnico di Torino". In 2015 he spent 9 months at the Communication Networks Chair of the University of Würzburg (Germany) under the supervision of prof. Phuoc Tran-Gia. He graduated on the 4th April 2016.

Just for fun

This simple script allows you to generate a fixed configurable CPU load for a finite time. To the purpose, a PI controller is employed. Enter "./CpuLoadGenerator.py -l %setpoint -d %duration" to run it for %duration seconds at the %setpoint of CPU utilization.
