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.

Task Scheduling Simulator:

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: - HTML, Embedded C, Python.

The project consists of a host transmitting ITCH market data information as a broadcast message (UDP packets)
The RX63N microcontroller board receives the data and sends buy-sell requests through TCP/IP packet to host
A HTML based Graphical User Interface (GUI) running on the host computer shows the buy/sell requests received

Run-To-Completion Scheduler:

Language: -VHDL.

Designed and simulated various components of a RISC processor like 16-bit ALU, 5 stage pipelines and interrupt handler
and integrating the components into a full-fledged RISC processor.
Developed test benches to test different components.

NASDAQ Market data parsing system:

Language: - CUDA C/C++, NVIDIA Nsight Visual Studio.

Used CUDA C language to write and implement parallel HPC programs on NVIDIA GPUS.
Implemented and analyzed performance for parallel HPC programs (Prefix Sum, Gravitational n-body simulation) using
CUDA C on UNC-C NVIDIA K20 Servers.

RISC Processor with Interrupt handling:

Language: - C, C++, Java, CUDA C/C++.

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).

CUDA C Programming:

Language: - C++.

Language: -Embedded C

Developed a priority based Run-To-Completion scheduler in C to implement priority based tasks using the Renesas
RX63N microcontroller 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.
