PUBLICATION

RDIT: Race Detection from Incomplete TracesArun K Rajagopalan, Jeff Huang Acceptance rate: 27%Designed and implemented an enhancement to the Happens-Before algorithm that guarantees preciseness in situations when sections of the source code are unavailable. We observed that our enhanced algorithm completely eliminated false positives when run against Apache’s Derby DB.

PROJECTS

Source to source optimizing Fortran-77 compilerOptimizing pass that automatically parallelizes a program using OpenMP pragmas.Data dependence analysis was performed on the SSA form to ensure no dependency violations.

Parallel dynamic race detectionEnhanced program instrumentation using thread-safe data-structures and a master DB.Improved analysis time by diving the workload among workers in a thread-pool.

2015

Evaluation of parallel algorithms on OpenMP and MPIImplemented two versions of the parallel-scan on shared memory and message passing interface.Studied various parameters such as weak/strong scaling, performance and complexity.

2015

Dynamic Instrumentation Framework for C++Built an LLVM pass that intercepted read/write, lock/unlock and fork/join calls into a log file.The generated log file was then fed to standard race detection tools.

2014

Construction of Maximum Bandwidth PathsMaximum bandwidth path construction was implemented using Kruskal’s and Djikstra’s algorithm.Kruskal’s algorithm was found to have better performance as graph density increased.

2014

AggieExperts: A content management system for Texas A&M facultyCreated the public-visible profile view and user-visible profile edit and creation pages.Client-side data validation using Javascript and server side data retention using PostgreSQL.Test-driven development using RSpec and Cucumber.
