Projects |
Thread detection in a Virtual Machine Monitor(VMM)
(cs736) – group of 2: Worked on inferring information
about the software abstractions of a Virtual Machine, from the VMM.
Specifically, worked on detecting the creation, termination and the switches
of processes and threads within the VM. Also detected the execution of the idle
thread inside the VM. Phase-based branch predictor selection(cs752)
– group of 4: Minimized the branch prediction misses and thus improved
the IPC for number of workloads by choosing an appropriate configuration for
the branch predictor, based on repeating phases of execution in program. Performed similar analysis for
cache sizes also. Optimization by query reordering using the buffer-pool(cs764) – group of 2:
Minimized the total IO cost of a set of queries by reordering them according
to the access patterns of the queries and the contents of the buffer pool.
Developed heuristics that perform better than the optimal scheduling
algorithm. Development
of a Spreadsheet application for the BITS Linux OS – group of 2:
Created a simple spreadsheet application in Java, as a part of the Office
Suite developed for BITS Linux Comparison
of VPN Architectures: Studied different VPN architectures
and proposed an architecture for the BITS network. Formal
Framework for specifying and verifying security properties:
Worked on integration of Type systems for Mobility and Secrecy in
verification of security protocols. |
