PROJECTS

. Access Control System

Programmed and interfaced microcontroller with the MMC using SPI-based

communication

. Multiprocessor JPEG Decoder Design

Analyze the dataflow of the sequential reference decoder software and

transform it for multiprocessor architecture.

. Interprocess Communication Using Bounded Buffers In Xinu Operating

System

. Remote File System in Unix and Xinu Operating Systems

. Extension/modification of the Xinu operating system kernel in the C

programming language

Enhance the process scheduling mechanism of Xinu by implementing

additional policies.

. Compiler

A simple compiler for micro language with rudimentary optimization and

data-flow analysis was developed using C.

. SAT solver

The classical problem of Boolean satisfiability has been studied and a C

code has been developed using DPLL heuristic. Performance was enhanced by

conflict driven learning and cache utilization.

. Indiana University Research Expertise

Monitor website traffic using Google Analytics.

. Hot Seat

Allow user authentication through OpenID and FacebookConnect.

. Implementation and Performance comparison of Stream Buffers and

Dynamic Insertion Policy techniques for L2 caches

. Bluetooth Baseband Controller

Partition the controller into hardware and software components. Control

tasks were model as state machine in software. Custom hardware was

designed for scrambling, CRC generation and checking, FEC encoding and

decoding and ciphering.

. Tandem Free Operation (TFO) in GSM networks

Developed an environment (with pseudo-random stimulus) to verify the in-

band signaling and data transfer functionality of the TFO Core

. 8085 microprocessor based system employing 8255A Programmable

Peripheral Interface

. File Compression & Restoration Software using Huffman's Algorithm in C
