Unpublished Works

The following are papers and presentations that I wrote over the course of my graduate studies.
  • Summary Presentation of "Cortical computing with Memristive Nanodevices"
    I presented a summary of this paper about the power of memristors from SciDAC Review at the Adaptive Hardware Reading Group in July 2009
    Presentation: PPTX | PPT | PDF
  • Processors with On-Die Cryptography Accelerators
    This was my final project in EECS 575 during the Winter 2007 semester. It is a survey of cryptography accelerators in the Intel IXP2850, Sun UltraSPARC T1 & T2, and IBM z9.
    Paper: PDF
  • AGEIA PhysX Physics Processing Unit Case Study
    This was a case study presentation done for EECS 573 during the Winter 2007 semester. It looks at the now-defunct Ageia PhysX hardware design. I based this off delving through all of the patents available at that time and from Nicholas Blachford's excellent article.
    Presentation: PPT | PDF
  • A Runtime Metric of Design Confidence
    Ken Zick and I did this research for our EECS 578 final project in the Fall 2006 semester. It is a mechanism to find, at runtime, the best configuration of modules if you are performing N-Version design with the capability to do runtime reconfiguration.
