Profiling tools were built using the Simple Scalar tool set for exploring cache and memory performance and usage. SimplePower was used for measuring energy usage.
C++based code partitioning algorithm was implemented for partitioning applications implemented in
C. The algorithm is based on a clustering approach. On Successful completion the algorithm returns the ideal mapping for tasks of an application.
C++based code partitioning algorithm using simulated annealing and tabu search methods were implemented in order to compare with clustering.
A set of tools were written using UNIX shell scripts, GAWK and SED to extract information from task graphs and existing tools in order to execute various benchmarks over different platforms.
C++based system level design and synthesis framework using TLM models. Application descriptions in the form of C programs are used for architectural design space exploration.
Generalized Partitioning Framework: All the above tools and programs were combined into a single framework for partitioning an application, profiling the individual tasks and mapping the tasks on to appropriate software or hardware clusters.
An animated movie project with all3D models generated from scratch and rendered using MAYA7.0 and Adobe Framemaker. The project also included audio synthesis and combined with video using Adobe
Premiere.
Middleware programming for continuously updating concurrently modified data on a bridge between an Informix database and a SQL server database housed on a windows server.
Shell and Turret scripts for connecting to hardware devices (Turrets) and populating data onto
Informix database.
An entire suite of intranet tools for Honeywell Technologies was implemented using ASP pages on
MS--IIS. The tools include an inventory management system and a leave request management system designed to be used by the employees for everyday tasks.
