Pranav Bantval developed and maintained a comprehensive documentation framework for the Purdue-SoCET/gpu-design-logs repository, supporting GPU architecture and RISC-V ISA design projects over a three-month period. He authored detailed Markdown documents covering system performance, memory management, and custom instruction workflows, using C and RISC-V Assembly to inform technical accuracy. His work included visualizations of control flow and SIMT execution, as well as iterative updates that tracked compiler backend and assembler development. By establishing a repeatable documentation cadence and cleaning up repository structure, Pranav enabled efficient onboarding, design reviews, and knowledge transfer, demonstrating depth in technical writing and system architecture.

October 2025 focused on documenting and aligning ISA/Compiler progress for Purdue-SoCET/gpu-design-logs. Delivered a comprehensive Week 6–9 documentation package, including ISA encoding decisions, compiler backend progress, assembler testing plans, and planned ISA implementations, with Week 8 cleanup. Created markdown docs for week6.md, week7.md, week8.md, and week9.md, and removed an outdated path (Fall-2025/Pranav-Bantval/week8) to improve repository hygiene. This work creates a repeatable documentation cadence and baseline for future feature work.

In August 2025, delivered foundational design documentation for Fall-2025 in Purdue-SoCET/gpu-design-logs, establishing Week1.md as the design log skeleton and enriching it with detailed notes on computing system performance, hardware architecture, GPU programming models, PTX/SASS, memory management, and CUDA thread execution. This work provides a scalable foundation for design reviews and performance evaluation across the Fall-2025 cycle.
