Announcements
- 6/5: Final grades are here. If there are no objections to the grades by 12 midnight later, I will submit them officially.
- 6/4: Class standings here. This is the actual spreadsheet I am using to track your grades. Late documentation/code or wrong format merits a 10 point deduction for the total MP score. People who still haven’t submitted documentation for MP2 are marked 0 until the deficiency is settled. Again, you have until Friday (June 5, 2015), 5 PM for any questions, clarifications, corrections, and submissions.
- 6/3: Tentative class standings here. All exam scores and machine problem scores are in. For those with deficiencies or clarifications, you have until Friday (June 5, 2015), 5 PM to settle them with me.
- 5/26: EPIL will be opened on 5/27 and 5/29, at 2:30-5:30 pm to facilitate checking of MP2 stage 2. On 5/29, I won’t be present for the whole 3 hours because I would be attending some 198 presentations, but the lab will still be opened. Final chance for checking will be on 6/2, at 8:00am-12:00nn, still at EPIL.
- 5/21: Tentative class standing as of today can be viewed here. Exam 2 and MP1 Scores already up.
- 5/19: Here’s the tentative class standing. Take note that I haven’t recorded the essay part of exam 2 yet.
- 5/7: No lecture and lab class tomorrow. Don’t worry, I’ve trimmed the coverage for exam 3 to take this into account.
- 4/24: Exam 1 results here
- 4/22: MP2 stage 2 specifications now out. Also, a reminder that the submission for stage 1 is on May 6/8.
- 4/15: To help you review, here’s the exam last year and the answer key. Take note that there was an error in the discussion in class earlier. For the last problem, we assumed that during a TLB hit, a page fault can occur. However this is not the case. Please refer to the correct solution in the answer key. Good luck on Friday’s exam!
- 3/3: MP1 deadline is extended to March 11 and 13 for the Wednesday and Friday classes, respectively.
- 2/25: Just a friendly reminder – Exam 1 pushes through on Feb 27, 2015, during class hours. Sir Chito will administer the exam. Don’t forget to bring your A4 answer sheets.
- 2/18: After reviewing the specifications for MP1, I have decided to remove the SB instruction from the instruction set. This is because the memory interface only supports writes in word-sized chunks (although it is possible to still implement the SB instruction with that interface).
- 1/21: Welcome to CoE 113!
