Projects
Android Application - Faster downloads by Distributed Downloading
February 2013-April 2013
Android application which distributes a file download request to other
mobile devices using Bluetooth. Devices download their file chunks and share
them with each other via Bluetooth. For a bottlenecked internet speed - this
application gives a speedup proportional to the number of connected devices.
B.Tech Project - Proximity Networking in Public Transport
September 2013-Present
Establish an intranet service inside public transportation units to provide
services facilitating social interactions among users, entertainment, multi-
player gaming, news, movies, recommendations etc. through an Android app.
Working in a team under Dr. Balwinder Sodhi, IIT Ropar.
Android Application - Practinome
May 2012-July 2012
Practinome: Guitar Tab Player - includes a metronome, stopwatch and displays notes
from all scales or user entered tab sequences at an adjustable tempo from 30-300 bpm.
Architectural Simulator in Java
Architectural Simulator in java - processing assembly instructions and simulating
the pipeline, branch prediction by tournament predictor and Set Associative L1 and L2
Caches. Program outputs the miss rate of caches, IPC and branch predictor accuracy
for a given set of instructions.
