Ongoing and Past Projects

Sitar (Simulation Tool for Architectural Research)

  • [Project Webpage] [Introductory Paper on Sitar]
    Sitar is a framework for modeling and simulation of discrete-time systems (such as discrete time queues, computer networks and computer architectural models). It consists of a system description language and a cycle-based simulation kernel. The language allows a system to be described in a hierarchical manner as an interconnection of modules running concurrently. The behavior of each module can be described in an imperative manner using constructs such as time-delays, conditional wait statements, fork-join concurrency, and branch/loop constructs. C++ code can be embedded in a module description in a straightforward and well-defined manner. The sitar language parser has been written using Antlr V3. The simulation kernel is lightweight, consisting of a small set of C++ classes, and has been parallelized using OpenMP.

A Framework for Simulation of the Device Layer in Smart City IoT Stacks

  • As part of a smart-city project at RBCCPS, IISC Bangalore, the aim was to develop a scalable and flexible framework for the simulation of the device layer in smart-city applications. An abstract based on this work was published in the IoTDI 2019 conference.
    (August 2018 - Dec 2018)

Discrete-event modeling for Industrial IoT applications

  • As a part of an Energy-efficient assembly lines project at RBCCPS, my work involves building simulation models of the assembly line for prediction, optimization and real-time monitoring in an industrial Internet-of-Things framework. An open-source simulator for an SMT-PCB assembly line with GUI support, developed as a part of this project is available here.
