    • Patent

  • System and method for profiling resource constraints of Web servers, filed on April 8, 2008

    This patent is related to the Mini-Flash Crowds project.

    • Other Graduate Projects

    Here are some of my graduate course projects. Each of them is could potentially become a paper. If you are interested in these projects, please feel free to contact me.

  • Markov chain model of English construct using usage-DB
    Markov chain model of English construct query of "Usage DB" to check grammar: A novel research project to check the "grammar" of an arbitrary text. This is a statistical method using 3rd order Markov chain. Basically it splits any given sentence into different blocks based on the English construct and Markov model and queries the huge "Usage" database (Google querying of www). Based on the statistics obtained the algorithm estimates the correctness of the system. This method offers the advantage of checking popular quotes even if grammatically wrong. This project was coded in python.

  • Analysis of Victim Trace Caches
    A novel research project analyzing the effect of having a direct mapped victim trace cache stored in the memory by directly accessing the L2 cache from the trace cache, in partial completion of the course Advanced Computer Architecture (CS/ECE 752).
