1. Media SoC Memory sub-system: delivered an architecture driven by performance studies, some of the problems addressed were ­how virtual memory design for media sub­-systems would perform, finding suitable candidates for their TLB pre­fetch and replacement policies and analysis of cache sub­-systems suitable for media processing systems.2. Broadcast Receiver development: Architected the framework and developed a system model for a programmable demodulator for Digital TV Broadcast receiver, this was used for performance studies early in the design phase and later as an SDK enabling Software teams to develop a DVB stack to demonstrate feasibility of the whole concept.3. Home networking: Multimedia Over Coax Alliance (MoCA) is an open industry initiative for home networking and specifies MAC and PHY layers along with convergence layers for other standards for interoperability.My role included review of MoCA 2.0 draft specification for Intel standards group, accurate interpretation of the MoCA 1.x specification for hardware and software teams for implementation (this involved hands on lab work with RF networks which lead to a development of home grown sniffer) and also participation in the MoCA alliance Certification Working Group (Standards body) to ensure Intel IP would be ready for certification. On the system and software side, my work involved definition of Firmware layer and performance study of an ARM based FPGA platform to ensure it can successfully execute the MoCA protocol at line rate.

Responsible for MP (Multi-processor) Validation of the Itanium Processor and development of required tools and methodologies for a coverage based approach.Developed a Multiprocessor simulation platform environment for pre-silicon validation, this was used as the primary regression environment for validation of MP functionality, internal customers used this to run a small OS, external customers also used this to verify their chipsets designed for the Itanium processor.Developed assembly level tests and various Architecture tools (MP Cache coherency, data consistency, shared bus protocols, etc), checkers (for checking against RTL/Silicon against reference models) and ensured all MP related micro-architectural scenarios were tested via development of necessary coverage metrics.Debugged silicon as part of post-silicon verification efforts, both on silicon testers and hardware systems platforms as a technical lead at various stages of the first and second generation of the Itanium series of processors.
