RISC V simulator in C++
• Developed a 5-stage pipelined RISC-V simulator in C++ to analyze instruction execution at the architectural level, that can detect and resolve hazards.
Multithreaded webserver
• Engineered an HTTP server in C++ capable of handling multiple client requests concurrently through multithreading techniques. Further evaluated the server to compare its performance with existing Apache and Nginx servers. PPSFP Fault Simulation and Built-In Self-Test (BIST) Design
• Implemented a PPSFP fault simulator to evaluate fault coverage in ISCAS benchmark circuits (c17, c432, c499, c880, c1355) using random input patterns, achieving an average fault coverage of 95%.
• Designed and simulated a BIST circuit featuring a 32-bit LFSR-based TPG and a 16-bit MISR for Output Response Analysis, achieving an average fault coverage of 95% and an aliasing probability of 0.0015%. Virtual Memory Manager
• Built a basic virtual memory manager for an operating system, incorporating page tables, physical memory, disk blocks, and the clock algorithm for page replacement.
Thread library in Linux
• Constructed a custom thread library in Linux using C++ to manage multiple threads within a single process. Designed a disk scheduler in C++ to handle I/O requests and task scheduling efficiently. RFID and Keypad interfaced dual security system using 8051 and Keil u vision
• Assembled a dual security lock system using 8051 microcontrollers and assembly language. Executed the project utilizing Keil uVision and Prog ISP for hardware interfacing. VLSI Custom Design: Cadance: Schematic XL,Layout GXL, Assura. Synopsys:HSPICE, Cscope.
• Implemeted transistor-level schematics and created layout for simple circuits like multiplexer, 4-bit accumulator. Conducted Design Rule Check (DRC) and Layout versus Schematic (LVS) verification. Performed delay and power analysis using HSPICE.
