Projects

. Ported a standard Linux kernel on the VAPRES partially reconfigurable

embedded system. It also includes integrating the VAPRES runtime manager

as a kernel module in a soft-core processor operating system on a FPGA for

hardware multithreading.

UFL, Gainesville Apr '11

. Performance Comparison and Cost-Bene?t Analysis for Superscalar, SMT &

VLIW Processors. UFL, Gainesville Nov '10

. Implementation of 1-D Time-Domain Convolution in VHDL and creating a

custom circuit that exploits significant amount of parallelism.

UFL, Gainesville Nov '10

. Developed a Fault Tolerant Distributed System, on the Python Platform.

The distributed network implemented was based on the widely used "Chord

Protocol". UFL,

Gainesville Nov '10

. Real Time Emulation of Non-Linear Electrical And Electronic Circuits on

An Embedded Processor

Sardar Patel Institute of Technology, April '10

Mathematical model of the electrical system, under test, is used. These

systems involve highly critical tasks. The project also involved the

development of a multitasking environment using real time open source

operating system so that less critical tasks can co-exist without

affecting the real time performance of the models.

. Alternative Mouse using Accelerometer

Sardar Patel Institute of Technology, April '10

Interfaced an accelerometer with an AVR microcontroller using ADC and used

an open loop system to control the mouse co-ordinates depending on the

tilt of the accelerometer.

. Embedded System For Wireless Data acquisition and Process Control using

Bluetooth Technology.

Sardar Patel Institute

of Technology, April '09

An asynchronous two way wireless communication between, the data

acquisition system mounted on, the Robot and a Computer was implemented,

and MATLAB was used for data acquisition and analysis.

. Water level Controller Scheme

Sardar Patel Institute of Technology, April '09

Developed using Infra red sensor and servo motor. The servo motor

controlled the opening of the nozzle. The level of water was measured

using the sensor and the amount of flow of water was controlled using

servo motor.
