Intern

·         DB2Fits- Developed software in Java ‘DB2Fits’ which fetches the information from MySql database using JDBC and then converts the data set obtained to Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) image. This application is now used at FermiLab by a web service, which executes the cluster finding code.

·         Installed and ran software applications from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) on the grid using grid technologies like Virtual Data Toolkit (VDT), Virtual Data Systems (VDS-Chimera) and Batch Systems (Condor).

·         SpICE- (Spatially Inhomogeneous Correlation Estimator) - Ported the existing SpICE code from Fortran 90 to Java. SpICE is a correlation function engine, which can produce correlation functions and the angular power spectrum of the CMB maps.

·         Implemented Hierarchical File System and collection of security features (eg. Access Control Lists, User Management, Login/Logout procedures, commands for changing access permissions) in Nachos Operating System based on UNIX in C++. Also incorporated the basic file operation commands such as: mkdir, rmdir, rm, login, logout, ls, ln –l, cat, cp, cd, grant, degrant etc.

·         Implemented various multithreading tasks (bounded buffer producer consumer problem, dining philosophers problem, Coin Slot machine) using semaphores, condition variables, and locks in Nachos Operating system in C++.

·         Developed an Algorithm using Java Servlets and HTML to detect whether a Search Engine supports Boolean operators ‘AND’  ‘OR’ and also to detect the default logical operator used by search engine.

·         Developed a web application using Java Servlets and HTML that creates Data Sets (A combination of document-term and term-term matrices) and then enables the user to enter ‘query vector term weights’ and get the document ranking as a result.

·         Developed Chatting Software in C++ (Solaris) using IPC (Message Queues) for communication within the server.

·         Implemented a 32-bit processor with multi cycle datapath based on MIPS architecture, in VHDL.

·         Developed an application in the context of a distributed shared memory system with multiple nodes and a visualization component using CORBA.

·         Worked as Web Page Designer for 3 months and developed web pages using Microsoft Front Page.

·         Implemented Hindley Milner Type Checking Algorithm for constants, variables, conditional expressions and functions using Standard ML.

·         Developed a Compiler for SCHEME using ICON. The compiler converts all the derived expressions in scheme (or, and, let, let*, letrec, cond ) to equivalent ‘lambda’ core expressions.

·         Work with a team of 4 to develop CACS Graduate Student Assistantship database using C++, CGI Script and SQL plus.

·         Developed software in C++ to implement the Cipher Text Attack (break the cipher given the message and the key domain).

·         Implemented Lamport’s Distributed Algorithm for chatting software using Java RMI.

·         Made the game of ‘Minesweeper’ using C++.

·         Developed a Shell script to prove that there is no concept of Global Clock in Distributed Systems.
