Research A Fast and Efficient Simulated Annealing based Design Space Exploration for a Custom VLIW
Projects Architecture for GSM Decoder and Optimizations using VEX compiler Dec, 2006 - Jan, 2007
This paper describes an attempt to find out the best custom VLIW architecture for a GSM Decoder
Application. The suitability and the efficiency of the Annealing based Design Space Exploration
Algorithm is evaluated and compared against the exhaustive exploration of the complete design
space. Source and IR level profiling is also done to understand various resource consumption patterns
of the GSM code. Various code level optimization steps are taken to enable the application to utilize
the architecture in an efficient way.

A Low Power Design of Gray and T0 Codecs for the Address Bus Encoding for System Level Power
Optimization Jan, 2007 - March, 2007
This Project describes our attempt to design the Gray and T0 codecs to be used to encode the
bits to be sent on the processor-memory address bus. The trade offs between power utilization
of the codec hardware and the power reduction due to lessening of switching transitions has also
been understood. The codecs are designed and synthesized using VHDL/Synopsis Tools. The total
power including the power consumed by the bus is calculated. Various comparisons are made with
the uncoded binary scheme. An optimum bus capacitance is also calculated which makes the usage
of codecs beneficial.

An Empirical Performance Evaluation and Modelling of BitTorrent peer-to-peer File Sharing System
using Queuing Network Models Nov, 2006 - Jan, 2007
In this project we have tried to understand the BitTorrent protocol and have performed an exper-
iment to understand the performance and incentive mechanism imbibed in the protocol. Through
the medium of empirical observation we have tried to characterize various parameters of the BitTor-
rent system so that it could be modelled using a queuing network model. We have also found the
asymptotic bounds on the performance.

cache replacement policy, number of integer/float ALUs/multipliers on the performance of ADPCM
codec are studied.

Construction of a C like Compiler and Sim. for a Conceptual Architecture Dec, 2006 - Jan, 2007
The Project Development consisted of three parts. The initial part is conceptualization of the
language features, the instruction set, underlying architecture support for the instruction set, and
the binary executable file format. Then the compiler was developed from the scratch independent of
any assumptions about the underlying architecture. A simulator was also developed, which emulates
the conceptualized architecture and is capable of executing the binary executables generated by the
above compiler, on a host OS.

storage format to store the sensed values was also proposed for the optimized memory usage.

Quality of Service for MANET using Linux Sept, 2005 - Dec, 2005
