ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Designed a new cache design by comparing the Hierarchies of different levels of caches to that of single level and designing one
that meets the advantages of both: The purpose of this project is to analyze different cache hierarchies and to design one that includes
the benefits of both multilevel and single-level cache. Simple Scalar was used to run simulations with various cache setups to see the
differences in performance as different parameters are changed. Various benchmarks, such as mcf, parser, and applu, will be used to
find the main advantages of both single-level cache and multi-level cache.
Multiple Biometric Parameter Based Intrusion Detection System: Development of an anomaly based intrusion detection system
which continuously uses different biometric features to authenticate the user of the computer/information system: In this project
the device drivers of the keyboard were manipulated using C++ and a software was created in such a way that even if a malicious user
was to hack into the system by the way he types using the keyboard the software determines whether he or she is the default user or not
and locks the system down and notifies the user.
Critical path Calculator and High Level Synthesis Tool: Written in C++ to calculate the critical path using the Depth First search
algorithm (DFS) for a given pseudo C code, this tool is highly useful in finding the frequency of operations if the given code is
implemented in hardware. The main aim of the project was to develop a high level synthesis tool which can generate Verilog code for
the given high level sequential code written in C-like language. Implemented a high level Machine Synthesis tool capable of converting
a High Level State Machine.
Force Directed Scheduling Tool: Developing a tool using C++ that can convert a C-like behavioral description into a scheduled high-
level statement machine implemented in Verilog.
Developed a DNS server On UBUNTU using BIND software: Built DNS server using scripts in Ubuntu by editing DNS cache and
rebinding the DNS server name. This project explains how the DNS cache memory works and methods that can be used to hack a DNS
server cache in local server by rebinding.
Designing a GUI for the VTR simulator: Design and development of GUI using Java as the base language for VTR CAD tool that
can generate architecture files, configuration files, parse the parameters from output files and show on panel and can run benchmarks
with specified architecture file.
Tic TAC Toe: Implemented a tic TAC toe game using Java as the base language
Simulation and Comparison of the Speed of an Armature controlled DC motor using PID Controller and a Fuzzy Logic
Controller in Simulink: The DC motor is modelled and converted as a subsystem in SIMULINK for both the controllers. The simulation
and development of the PID controller is implemented w.r.t the mathematical model of a DC motor using trial and error method. The
Parameters in the PID are tested with the MATLAB/SIMULINK program.
