SOFTWARE PROJECTS – ACADEMIC

Simple UNIX Shell - Designed and implemented a UNIX shell in C on Debian Linux. Known as interactive shell it is similar to bash. Developed the inter-process communication, job handling (using process ids), multi-threading and pipes.

Simple Remote Procedure Call System - Developed a simple remote procedure call system (SRPC) library to implement at-least once semantics, as a part of a two member team. A client-server architecture based system to simultaneously communicate with multiple servers/ clients and automatically resolve network errors.

Developed the client library and the call logging mechanism.

Advanced Networking (Network Protocol Offloading) - A research project developed for Nortel Networks as a part of a four member team. It involved modification of the Linux kernel and an Alteon AceNIC gigabit Ethernet adapter firmware to implement speculative UDP with zero copy.

Offloaded the protocol onto the NIC using a cross- compiler to write the code. Also contributed to the implementation of zero-copy in the Linux kernel, done by modify the ring buffer access in the Linux kernel and in the Ethernet adapter.

Design of PDA and analysis of the Therac 25 system- Designed the PDA and analyzed reasons for failure of the THERAC-25, an MRI system, using UML.

Real Time Video Transmission- Developed and implemented a Re-Transmission Control Protocol in C on a Linux system, using raw sockets to transfer data. Used for streaming videos and transmitting large multimedia files, the application was developed in client- server architecture with a file browser. The video files could be played by the viewer upon completion of transmission.

Breaking the Fiestel Cypher - The program was written in C++, using a brute force technique with optimizations to break the cipher, as a part of the Cryptography course.

This project was selected the best class project.
