My research projects are to design and optimize processor cache mapping functions.

My project is "TERAFLUX: Exploiting Dataflow Parallelism in Teradevice Computing". I was involved in developing a simulation infrastructure for executing decouple threads in the future 1000+ core chips. Details of the project can be found at http://www.teraflux.eu/

My TA's courses included Computer Architecture, Realtime Systems, Operating Systems, Embedded Systems and Verilog Hardware Description Language.

A big project that I involved in was to implement an entertainment system for CAR. My responsibilities included: porting uCOS-II and implementing such device drivers of UART, Keypad, Infra-red Remote Control Drivers and communication protocols for daughter-board (LCP2294-ARM7), developing UART high-speed driver, BlueTooth audio stream, voice calling application (A2DP & Hand-free profiles) of Bluetooth Stack, supporting and developing device drivers for USB chips (ISP156x & ISP176x) for automotive customers.

I was involved in developing an RTOS platform to evaluate the performance of AT4848 chip under development. This platform includes a complete set of applications which are used to demonstrate the performance of AT4848 chip including provision and configuration, fault management, performance monitoring. Here we used RTAI library patched into the Linux kernel 2.4 to design a multitask framework.
