Three students of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mumbai- Shubhankar Seth, Sahil Shah and Shrut Sanghvi -have innovated and developed an impressive and effective tool which would assist students, in general and computer science engineering students, in particular, to understand what goes on behind the scenes in a computer during the time lapse between giving a command and the machine generating the expected results.
The software developed by these three course mates is expected to help the engineering students in improving the understanding on how algorithms work behind the scenes. While giving a live demonstration of their product at University of Petroleum and Energy Studies (UPES), which they have, titled “EYE”, Seth informed that “Eye” is an interpreter for C++ that enables the user to comprehensively visualize behind the scenes memory allocation and execution environment. “At every step, the console provides an intuitive representation of the state of the programme. Apart from giving an overview of how an interpreter functions it also serves as a great tool for learning and debugging,’’ he said.
The Director, School of Computer Science Engineering, UPES, Dr Manish Prateek, speaking after the presentation, opined that in this software graphical representations of common data structures have been developed which gives users insight into how algorithms work and the way in which they manipulate.
The Director, Media Affairs, UPES, Arun Dhand said that Shubhankar Seth is the elder son of, Inspector General, Uttarakhand Police Deepam Seth. “While the three youngsters were developing this product, they also decided to form a limited Liability partnership start- up company as co-founders. After securing intellectual property rights for their product their company has already found interested clients in academic Institutions, industry and the corporate,’’ he said
