Course Projects
Here are some
course projects I did at McGill.
- COMP 522,
Modeling and Simulation
Project title: A Statechart-based Implementation of A CD Player
Program.
Description: In this project, a CD player
program was implemented from its statechart
model. The goal was to explore the feasibility of creating an automatic
code generator that generates code directly from statechart models.
I implemented two versions of the program: one for FreeBSD
and one for Linux. The main module and
the GUI part of the program were written in Python
and the rest was in C.

in HTML.
- COMP 766,
Distributed Simulation
Project
title: Distributed Simulation of A Simplified PCS System
Description: One conservative synchronization algorithm for distributed
systems was proposed by K.M. Chandy and
J. Misra in which null-messages
are used for deadlock avoidance. This project
is an implementation of that algorithm, and the application is a simplified
PCS system.

in PDF format.
- COMP 575,
Fundamentals of Distributed Algorithms
Project title: Distributed Knot Detection
Description:In the communication model of distributed systems,
deadlocks occur if and only if knots occur in the system. Therefore
deadlock detection becomes knot
detection. This project is an implementation of the distributed
knot detection algorithm presented by K.M. Chandy
and J. Misra in 1983.

- COMP 621,
Optimizing Compilers
Project
title: Profiling with Jikes RVM
Description: In this project, the Jikes
Research Virtual Machine (RVM) was modified for profiling
purposes. The goal was not only to obtain profiling data in a more time-efficient
way, but also to allow compiler designers more control over what profiling
data to collect.
