7/02 - 6/04 |
- Tested and isolated IP SAN communication errors in the first
generation product.
- Developed high performance two stage write cache for an IP SAN,
improving iop performance twenty fold. This involved sophisticated
memory mangement techniques and highly tuned data structures for
manipulating hundreds of megabytes of data.
- Used PCI and IDE bus analyzers and scopes to isolate problems or
prove cache functionality.
- Developed custom performance testing and analysis tools in
addition to using commonly available profilers.
- Designed, assisted in the development of, and rigorously tested
the world's most sophisticated NVRAM device. The device uses SDRAM,
NAND FLASH, an EEPROM, a Xilinx FPGA and PROM, supercaps, and a PCI
interface to secure cache data in the event of a transient failure
such as loss of system power or crashed software.
- Developed an NVRAM linux device driver and api.
- Performance tested various embedded platforms for a san router
project codeveloped with Crossroads.
- Read entire SCSI-3 and iSCSI specs and removed various defects
from SCSI/iSCSI san drivers.
