Cache Controller Design using C Fall ‘08

Determined the best architecture for a 256kB cache controller which interfaces to a 4GB 32-bit signal processing microprocessor based on type (set-associative or direct mapped), n-way (if set-assoc), number of cache lines, block size, and write strategy (write-back or write-through). Analysis for best architecture was based on total access time to run the FFT routine and AMAT. RS-485 based bidirectional communication system Fall ‘08 Implemented and tested hardware for RS-485 based bidirectional communications system between a PC and one or more slave controllers. Worked on two separate circuits -- a RS-232 to 4-wire RS-485 converter and a 4-wire RS-485 transceiver and programmed it to demonstrate various waveforms like square, triangle, sawtooth, piecewise and pulse and also Tri color LED, motor, as well as speaker. Design of a 5-stage pipeline Harvard Architecture Microprocessor Fall ‘08 Designed a 32 bit, 5 stage pipelined microprocessor with 4GB of data and program memory to remove data, control and structural hazards. Architecture supports 32 registers with sub-referencing of LSB, LSW and 32 bit instructions.

Event Information System Using GSM Mobile Phones Jan ‘05-May ‘05 Built a surveillance device using Microcontroller 8051, sensors, Rs-232, ADC, Comparator, LCD which sends SMS to any GSM mobile on detecting a change in temperature. Designed the whole system and programmed it using Embedded C and VHDL. The project involved both hardware and software and was awarded second prize. PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES and AWARDS
