🛠️ TestFlashSim — ZNS SSD Emulator & Co-Simulation Platform
- Concept: A high-fidelity research environment (Golden Model) for validating custom FTL algorithms and NVMe ZNS standards.
- Architecture: Fully isolated User-Space execution bypassing Linux kernel noise. Features a hybrid Co-Simulation engine utilizing Verilator to bind a functional C++ model with synthesizable Verilog state machines (
zns_fsm_validator.v) over network sockets. - AI Integration: Used LLMs to build dynamic combinatorial zone-resolvers without division operators and auto-generated multi-threaded integration stress-tests in Rust.
⚛️ zeta-gue-analysis — High-Performance Quantum Chaos Processor
- Concept: Distributed lock-free in-memory calculation complex processing trillion-scale Riemann Zeta function non-trivial zeros (t ~ 10¹²) to correlate them with Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE) nuclear spectra.
- Performance: Achieved 210+ GB/sec raw binary streaming directly from block devices using
io_uringandO_DIRECT. Scaled linearly across 128 cores via NUMA-friendly thread isolation.
⚙️ LiteX_OC_SSD — Hardware Generation & SoC Interconnect Pipeline
- Concept: Automated System-on-Chip (SoC) generator wrapping custom hardware validators into Wishbone/AXI bus ecosystems for Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA target chips.
- Deliverables: Synthesized configuration registers (CSR map) and created a low-level bare-metal C driver running natively on softcore RISC-V processors inside storage arrays.
- Infrastructure R&D (FPlus): Pioneering next-generation Russian data storage cores, Active-Active HA setups (
nbdcache), PMEM WAL journaling, and automated NixOS validation ecosystems. - Fintech & Core Platforms (UBRR / Sber CIB): Architectural oversight of front-office business scenarios, zero-login zone abstractions, digital onboarding paths, and enterprise DWH system designs.
- History & Linguistics: Passionate about Sanskrit linguistics, chronicles, and mediaeval history.
- Hardware Archaeology: Author of a hardware emulator for the "Dnepr" (the first Soviet semiconductor computer).
- Industrial Heritage: Graduate of the Engineer's Eyes school; certified tour guide ready to reveal the tech secrets of Nizhny Novgorod.
