Date Topic Description
Thu 11/3 PS5 patch This is a simple patch that may help to improve the performance of MapReduce when shutting down a thread pool. Rather than releasing a new version of PS5, we are just providing this patch—you should make this modification in your code directly.
Thu 10/29 PS5 design reviews Design review meetings will be held in the consulting room, 360 Upson.
Mon 10/26 PS5 design review meetings You can now sign up for time slots for PS5 design meetings on CMS. Meetings start this Wednesday 10/28 and run until Monday 11/2 and will last 15 minutes. If you cannot find a time slot that works for you or your partner, please contact the course staff as soon as possible to work out an alternative.

Note that some of these time slots overlap with regular office hours. In these instances, office hours will only take place if no one is currently busy with a design meeting. However, be prepared to wait until the TAs are available.

See the PS5 writeup for more information on what we expect at these meetings.
Mon 10/26 PS5 We have posted a new version of the PS5 writeup with some information on SVN. If you are having trouble getting started with SVN, please visit us during office hours and we will help you get set up.
Sat 10/24 PS5 PS5 is up, due 11:59pm Thursday 11/12. Get started early!
Fri 10/16 PS5 groups For PS5, you may work in groups of up to two people (one is ok). We will also provide you with a subversion repository hosted by CSUG. In order to get you and you partner set up with repo access by the start of the problem set, please spend few minutes this weekend figuring out if you would like to work with a partner and signing up with him/her on CMS. Please do this by Monday noon, as at that point we will request that the repositories be created.
Wed 8/26 H1N1 In case of a flu outbreak, we will follow the same policies as CS 1110 as given here (except instead of Maria Witlox, 3110 students should contact Turn on JavaScript to view email address ).
