  • 1> Development of Memory Debugger Tool (Sep-2002-Nov-2003): Catch memory related errors during compile time, Deign , Development and Testing
  • 2> GCC inline assembly support into XlC, AIX based C Compiler (, Design and development (Sep 2002-Apr 2003): Added feature into the xlc compiler to support gcc-in-line assembly feature, Thus allow compilation of the C program containing assembly syntax.
  • 3> Porting of Double hummer XlC and FORTRAN compiler from AIX to Linux PPC (March 2002- Sep-2002): Double hummer C and Fortran compilers are the part of Supercomputer (Blue Gene) that support double floating point instruction.
  • 4) Porting of Fortran RTE from AIX t fo Linux PPc (July 2001-June 2002).
  • 5> Development of Data Links File System: The Datalinks project started as a research prototype developed at the IBM Almaden Research Center, and is now part of the DB2 UDB product. It involves the implementation of an extension to DB2 that enables EFRs to be managed by the DBMS almost as though they were residing within the database, while at the same time making it possible for these files to be operated on using standard file system APIs in a transparent manner. This includes ensuring referential integrity of EFRs stored in the database. (Nov2000-Jun2001)

  • I was part of the team of 7 people and The objective of the project was to develop a core product for transaction processing system (the payment gateway) which can provide the online authorization of transactions using ISO8583 and APACS40 protocols. The system is also capable of collecting the transactions on off-line basis as will, using the APACS50 protocol. The system further generates the transaction reports for the acquirer(s).All these required a thorough study of various Operating Systems, IPC handling, system calls, Networking, Databases etc.
  • I was involved into Design, Development and Testing of some of its major modules. Porting on other Unix and Database platforms.
