PROJECTS
Analysis of Cache Performance Using Dinero IV Cache Simulator
Mini Project in coursework, Advanced Computer Architecture
oCache system for Alpha 21064 superscalar processor was analyzed for effect of pre-fetching, cache size and its associativity, and block size based on miss rate
o Impact on miss rate with and without automatic pre-fetching, by varying cache size and block size was studied for I-caches and D-caches
MIPS Pipeline Simulator
Final Project in coursework, Advanced Topics in Computer Architecture
oDesigned and implemented RTL for the integer pipeline of a MIPS based architecture, including data and control hazard checking and data forwarding. Design was fully tested and validated
Several Mini Projects in Verilog HDL RTL
Designed and developed various systems using Altera DE2-115 FPGA. Examples: Multi-function system which performed load, shift left and shift right operations (with 8 bit inputs).
Timer system, using finite state machines, which implemented a timer with a maximum value of 99 minutes and 59 seconds and granularity of 1 millisecond
Simulating web servers and clients
Final project in coursework, Cloud Computing
oDeployed a website with database to the cloud (EC2), TPC-W benchmarking tool was used to evaluate the performance of the website under different loads
Simulation of Pre-Emphasis for High Speed Serial Link
Mini Project in coursework, Advanced Topics in Microelectronics
oWorked on MATLAB code to run simulations at different data rates for FR4 backplane channels for a pre-emphasis filter
Final Year B.Eng Project- GSM based Control of Home Appliances For Smart Home
oDeveloped prototype design to save electricity at homes that uses SMS to send and receive commands to and from microcontroller, which controls the specified device or performs the specified task
6th Semester B.Eng Mini-Project: Low Power Indication Alarm System
oDesigned an alarm system to monitor batteries and report failure both visually and audibly via a LED and Buzzer respectively
