Solid-State Devices Stochastic Process
Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuit Design Math Methods for Electrical Engineering
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING PROJECT
Jan 2014 – March 2014
Performance Modeling of the CPU
Modeled the various CPU parameters
Compared the naïve method with the Software optimized version of matrix multiplication
Further the influence of multi-threading on program performance was analyzed by using GCC
compiler and Mersenne Prime Validation Software
Jan 2014 – March 2014
Training Recurrent Neural Networks, VSC Lab, UC Riverside
• Analyzed which areas of the Neural Network had the most execution time
• Designed an algorithm for CUDA implementation in Nvidia Tesla K20
• Achieved a 10-12% boost up in the training process
• Also figured out that a partial implementation gave us overheads of data transfer between Device
to Host and vice-versa
September 2014 – Dec 2014
Battery Management System, VSC Lab, UC Riverside
• Interfaced the BMS of Texas Instruments with the Xilinx ATLYS FPGA board
• Researched and improved the present State-of-charge and State-of-health readings from batteries
• Designing fast and efficient ways for charging
8-bit CPU, Senior Design Project, NMIMS University Aug 2013 - March 2014
• Created a complete flow for Integrated Circuit (IC) design, right from RTL to the physical
layout design
• Successfully Implemented the design using a 5-Stage RISC pipeline
DHARIT SURA 3201 Canyon Crest Dr, Apt H294,
817-***-****, ********@***.*** Riverside, CA 92507
• Designed the ALU from the transistor level
• Performed Synthesis, placement and routing on Qflow
16KB 6T SRAM-cell, Senior Design Project, NMIMS University Feb 2013 - May 2013
• Planned and created a 6T SRAM Cell in layout and schematic on Microwind tool
• Designed NMOS and PMOS by changing the W/L ratio and interfaced it with 4:16 Row decoder
and sense amplifier
Intelligent Traffic Control Systems, Junior Design Project NMIMS University Feb 2012 - May 2012
• Designed an intelligent adaptive traffic control system with three members
• Surveyed and maximized throughput for lanes having the most traffic, and also communicated
with near-by signals to reduce area-wide traffic congestion.
