Optimising Network Packet Processing on Low-Power ARM Single-Board Computers

Extended native XDP support for Raspberry Pi 5 networking and evaluated DPDK-over-AF_XDP against conventional socket paths.

  • C
  • Linux
  • XDP
  • AF_XDP
  • DPDK
  • Raspberry Pi 5
  • Added native XDP and AF_XDP support to the Cadence GEM network driver.
  • Reduced median RTT by 9.41% against TCP and 6.74% against UDP.
  • Measured 24.1% lower TX cost than TCP and about 52% lower RX cost than both baselines.

Parallel Actor Framework

Distributed actor runtime in C++ and MPI for scalable, message-driven computation across multiple nodes.

  • C++
  • MPI
  • Distributed systems
  • Designed locality-aware actor placement and a partitioned 2D computation model.
  • Implemented routing and lifecycle management that avoid ID collisions.
  • Validated the runtime with a distributed Lotka-Volterra simulation.

FactorZero

Fault-tolerant distributed file system and parallel workload engine built for unreliable network conditions.

  • C++
  • gRPC
  • Replication
  • Combined whole-file caching, primary-backup replication, and heartbeat-based failover.
  • Built coordinator-worker execution for parallel primality testing with recovery.
  • Used idempotent gRPC retries, Lamport clocks, and Chandy-Lamport snapshots.
