| Date | Topic | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Tue 11/17 | PS5 late late submissions | We will continue to accept PS5 submissions until 12 midnight Wednesday 11/18 for those who missed the Saturday late submission deadline. Tomorrow's deadline is absolute, no exceptions. In fairness, we will also have to impose a significant lateness penalty beyond the usual 10%. Please email a .zip file to Dexter. |
| Thu 11/12 | PS5 late submissions | We will be grading on Monday night, but because the test harness will take an extraordinarily long time to run, we must close CMS for late submissions at 11:59am Saturday Nov 14. You may submit until that time at a 10% grade discount. |
| Thu 11/12 | Prelim 2 | We will have our second prelim next Tuesday, 11/17, 7:30-9pm. Note the change of location: Olin 155.
|
| Tue 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. |
| Thu 10/15 | PS3 missing pages | A number of you complained in class today that parts of your PS3 were missing. I don't have any explanation for this, but if you let me know by email who you are and what parts were missing, I will have them regraded. |
| Thu 10/15 | PS3 regrades | I have reset the regrade deadline for PS3 to 10/22, so you should be able to submit regrades in CMS now. |
| Wed 10/14 | OCaml cheatsheet | We'll give out a printed sheet with some basic OCaml constructs at the exam so you don't have to memorize anything. Here it is if you want to see what it looks like. |
| Wed 10/14 | Prelim 1 makeup | ...will be held Thursday, Oct 15, 5:30–7pm, Upson 315. You may only take the makeup if you have previously informed us of your conflict and received confirmation. |
| Sun 10/11 | Prelim 1 | ...is scheduled for this Thursday, Oct 15, 7:30–9pm, Olin 165. I have posted some samples from previous semesters on CMS. The exam will be closed book and will cover all material in the lectures and recitation sections up to and including Recitation 12. I will be contacting those who have informed me of conflicts shortly to arrange a makeup time. |
| Thu 10/8 | PS4 | If you downloaded PS4.zip from CMS before about noon today, please download again—some older versions of some of the files crept into the .zip file. Sincere apologies for the inconvenience. |
