    Projects done during Masters

    1. fCachefs - A two-way fan-out caching file system. Technical report is here.
    2. Implementation of checksum system call - Implemented Linux system call kernel module for generating and verifying checksums on files, as well as support for integrity check on checksums through encryption/decryption. Its manpage readme is here
    3. Database Instance Migration - Conducted research under the guidance of Prof. Tzi-cker Chieu as to how Oracle database's state can be migrated from one non-RAC database instance to another. Technical report is here.
    4. Implementation of reliable file transfer protocol using UDP - Implemented TFTP with TCP's flow control (using sliding window and window probes with persist timer) and congestion control (using slow-start and congestion avoidance) along with the features fast-retransmit and delayed ACKs.
    5. Implementation of On-Demand shortest-hop Routing (ODR) and ping protocols.
    6. Extraction of relationships between Drugs, Genes, and Diseases - This project was done in partial fulfillment of Computation Biology course under the guidance of Prof. Steven Skiena. Technical report is here.

    Few undergrad projects

    Internship:
    I interned at Oracle India Development Center from Jan-2002 to Jun-2002. Conducted research into and developed a prototype for supporting "parallelization of SQL statements" in Oracle Pro*C pre-compiler.
    Network Project Lab:
  • Design and implementation of decentralized (centralized-server-less) P2P file-sharing system using C++.
  • Implementation of chat client & server using Java network programming
    • Database Application Lab:
  • Design and implementation of Information Management System using J2EE three-tier architecture (JSPs in the frontend, Servlets running on Oracle iAS in the business logic layer, and Oracle database in the backend).
    • System Software Lab:
  • Design and Implementation of full-screen Text Editor
