2. PROJECTS
Parametric Cache Simulator: - Language: - C++, Xperf.
 Built a simulator that inputs all the design parameters of a cache (replacement policies: LRU, LFU. Write policies:
WBWA, WTNA) and simulates the working using a trace file generated from the given application.
Assembly code Hazard check simulator: - Language: - C++.
 Built a tool that inputs an assembly code file and checks for any possible hazards and detects data, name or control
dependencies for a pipeline with variable depth.
Scheduling Simulator: - Language: - C++.
 Designed and implemented a scheduling simulator with the Earliest Deadline First (EDF) scheduling policy in conjunction
with the Priority Inheritance Protocol (PIP).
Parallel Programming: - Language: - C, C++, Java, CUDA C/C++.
 Implemented and executed parallel HPC programs using CUDA C on UNC-C K20 cci-grid08.uncc.edu.
 Used C with OpenMp , MPI directives to parallelize the sequential codes for higher order Matrix Multiplication, Dynamic
Heat Distribution problem, Monte Carlo Pi calculations which was implemented with the use of patterns like
stencil,workpool etc.
 Testing the execution time and speedup of above codes on various clusters(Distributed, Shared)
RISC Processor with Interrupt handling: - Language: -VHDL.
 Designed and simulated various components of a RISC processor like 16-bit ALU, 5 stage pipeline and interrupt handler
and integrating the components into a full-fledged RISC processor.
Market data parsing system: - Language: - HTML, Embedded C, Python.
 Developed an ITCH market data parsing system using RX63N embedded board.
 The RX63N embedded board receives the ITCH market data information as a broadcast message (UDP packets) and sends
buy/sell requests through TCP/IP packets to the host.
Run-To-Completion Scheduler: - Language: -Embedded C
 Developed a priority based Run-To-Completion scheduler in C to implement priority based tasks using the Renesas
RX63N board.
 Tasks involved sensing of parameters like temperature, controller internal reference voltage, switch interrupts, LEDs
brightness control potentiometer input, Real Time Clock information and displaying date, time, temperature, reference
voltages on LCD.
 Additionally, running LED patterns after receiving various keyboard commands as well as sending all the data back to PC
for display, serially by UART using Windows HyperTerminal.
Time Synchronization using Miza2 Motes: - Language: - nesC.
 Deployed time synchronization in a multi-hop sensor network.
Development of Miniature Autonomous Vertical Profiler for Oceanographic studies: -
Language: - Embedded C++, C#.
 Designed a vehicle that traverse along the vertical water column without the aid of a tether or a guiding mechanism.
