Senior Software Engineer – Silicon Dimensions, Inc. Marlborough, MA• Held principal responsibility for development of the major module (placer) of EDA software for logic designers to streamline the IC design process from Logic to Physical design.•Unique standard-cell placer uses a wire-centric methodology to tightly cluster cells, minimizing wire lengths while maintaining routability. The same placer does a superior placement of hard macros in optimal location eliminating multiple floorplanning iterations. The placer supports Groups and Regions, congestion driven partitioning, net weights etc. Subset of the above software has also been configured as EcoPlacer driven from Analyzer GUI.• Provided support to other members of the team on issues dealing with Linux internals, porting, memory management, TCL and “C/C++” interfacing, numerics and RT issues.

• Developed, integrated and debugged Microsoft WebTV software with the TAK set top box made by Thomson multimedia (Windows CE , C/C++, Java, MIPS assembler, WinDbg) • Worked on deployment of Windows CE .NET (Talisker) Board Support Package(BSP) for NEC 64-bit microprocessor. Debugged bootloader hardware monitor, IDE / USB drivers, PCI bus.

• Responsible for CodeWarrior (CW) debugger development and support for MIPS microprocessors and retargeting of CW Analysis Tools (CATS) for profiling and code coverage. • Ported CW debugger to MIPS supporting Metrowerks Target Resident Kernel (TRK), - serial API. Designed TRK support for CATS in order to work with MIPS and ported CATS to the above. • Implemented Nucleus Real-time Software (Accelerated Technology, Inc.) plugin support (CW) • Incorporated CodeTap emulator (Applied Microsystems Corporation) support for CW debugger communicating via AMC Ethernet protocol / Internet with General Instrument box.

Solely responsible for ObjectAda (Ada compiler) runtime libraries development and support (MASM, Ada,C, C++) for Windows NT, 95, as well as ETS (Phar Lap Embedded Software) targets• Architectured support for multitasking in Ada DLL(s) called from C to Ada and vise versa. Provided support for ETS DLL(s). Designed code to implement dynamic reloading of DLL(s) • Constructed exception mechanism for stack overflow using guard page management (NT/98). Implemented memory mapping with fallback provision if file mapping is not supported(ETS). • Redesigned assembly code for 17 Mathematical Library functions for double and quad words. • Implemented COFF, PE/COFF, ELF readers and re-hosted downloader (Unix to NT) • Constructed and utilized test environment for ACVC 2.1 conformity test suite(NT/95/ETS) for certification / validation of ObjectAda by DoD's Ada Joint Programming Office

• Designed software for the Host PC (C++, MFC, Win16/Win32) communicating with Partial Pressure Transducer (PPT), - eight of them, controlled by embedded 8051 (C, ASM) via RS232. • Implemented RT data rendition of mass-spectrogram in five different display. The above was augmented by pattern recognition software linked to data base via ODBC and LabEngine. Redesigned the above as DLL(_USRDLL/WIN16) to provide C exported interface. • Used SmartHeap, BoundsChecker to uncover memory issues that contributed to GPFs. • Added support for multi-port cards (DigiBoard, Equinox, RocketPort). Ported DLL to Win32. Developed a low-level RS-485 communication driver for LabView (WATCOM C).

Optimized image compression software ("C", UNIX,SUN)/ wavelet signal analysis.• Database Technologies :Ported UNIX DBMS software ("C") to MS WINDOWS using MS SDK v.3.0.

Analyzed existing code for principal company products, - machines for heart surgery. Optimized calibration routines for speed. Flow charted and documented existing code. Wrote digital I/O and A/D code for newly object oriented design of the system software ("C","C++"). Optimized and improved numerous instances of existing code (300 pp).

• Designed Automated Test System (QA hardware). Implemented hierarchical design rules for Host-Target distributed architecture ("C", "TCL" & shell script). Created software for: BIOS code coverage, exhaustive compatibility verification (DOS), application software testing. • Engineered a T&SR utility (MASM) to intercept & fake INT13 return to simulate hard drive errors.
