Achieved significant speed-ups over the standard GMP library: average 2.05x for addition and 2.28x for subtraction on x86-64 CPUs (up to 131k-bit numbers).
Outperformed existing research works in large-number addition and subtraction on x86-64 platforms.
Demonstrated a 1.83x speed-up for 256-bit multiplication over GMP using a novel Vedic math-based approach.
Notably achieved multiplication speed-up over GMP using AVX512 for smaller (<1024-bit) operands, a milestone not reached by previous studies.

Developed a simulation of a tennis game matching server where multiple players send requests for games: singles, doubles, male, female, or mixed.
Utilized OpenMP threads to handle client requests and MPI calls for player communication.
Managed the availability of limited tennis courts (4 courts) to continuously match players’ requests.
Completed as part of the Parallel and Distributed Course at IIT Gandhinagar.
