“Improving Latency & Reliability of High Critical Tasks in Mixed Criticality Systems through Task Rescheduling”

Designing algorithms to process data form Tech Libraries containing performance metrics of tasks on different processors and generating a out of order task schedule catering to tasks at different criticality levels in a Mixed Critical System.

Task scheduling using priority conditions in hardware/software co-design environment to improve reliability and latency of High Critical tasks.

Configuring the system to operate in different criticality modes to improve the performance of High Critical tasks to adapt to the system environment.

Implementing reliability improvement techniques through task recomputation and parallel processing in the slack generated to boost reliability further.

Projects:

Implementation of Artificial Neural Network based Signal Conditioning Circuit for a Temperature Transducer through Levenberg – Marquardt Algorithm on Arduino UNO board. (2016)

• Constructing a Timer Circuit around an NTC Thermistor to convert temperature into frequency.

• Modifying the timer circuit to act as Signal Conditioning Circuit (SCC) to stabilize the frequency output.

• Analyzing the raw SCC output through Levenberg – Marquardt Algorithm in multi-layer perceptron neural network using MATLAB Neural Network toolbox.

• Implementing the neural network in Arduino UNO board to read and analyze the incoming signal frequency and further eliminate the linearity error and optimize the output of the SCC to display temperature in LCD display.

Analyzing Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) in RF signal integrity using Eye pattern analysis.

• Made use of Signal analyzers and transcribing measured RF Signal data.

• Obtaining a Probability Density function of a random signal and modulating it with a known jitter to obtain a reference eye pattern.

Automatic Live Object Follower

• Arduino centered Robot which took inputs from proximity Sensor, Gyroscope, ultrasonic and IR sensors to follow live moving objects within a radius of 30 - 40cms from its sensors. Publications:
