Instructions for installing are in the README accompanying
Nachos. |

Phase 4 Design Doc Extension: We have decided to give you one
extra day to complete the Phase 4 initial design doc. The new deadline
is Friday, April 27th at 11:59pm.
Remember: you may not take slip days for initial design docs!

| 4/21/01 |
Phase 4 Spec Posted: You can get it right here.

Project 3 Deadline Extension:
Due to the server shutdown over the weekend, we have decided to extend
the deadline for project 3 code submissions to FRIDAY, APRIL 20, at 11:59pm.
(This is a 24-hour extension.) Also note that the deadlines for project 4
will not be pushed back.

| 4/05/01 |
Nachos updates for Project 3:
We have made some bugfixes to Nachos which you will need to incorporate
into your Nachos tree for project phase 3. Please download the file
nachos-proj3-updates.tar.gz.
Then cd to your toplevel nachos directory, and issue
the command:
gunzip -c nachos-proj3-updates.tar.gz | tar xvf -
This will overwrite the contents of the
machine and ag directories in your Nachos tree, so if
you have made changes to those files you will need to merge the changes
by hand.
If you are using CVS, only one project member needs to do the above
and do a cvs commit to commit the changes; the rest of the
project group can just do a cvs update.

Christmas in April! We have decided to remove
part III of project phase 3, implementing memory-mapped files. You
are not required to do this for your project. (This is not
an April Fools' Day Joke!)

Change in Prof. Joseph's office hours: M

Project Phase 3 spec has been posted. You may get it
from here. As before we will be
making updates to the spec in response to comments and questions on
the newsgroup, so check back often.
|
| 3/19/01 |
Important Nachos Bugfix The
Processor.java we supplied contains a significant error. You should
apply this patch.
|
| 3/18/01 |
The descriptions of the autograder test cases for
phase 2 have been posted.
Also, the autograder is now up and running. Like last time,
it will only grade the latest submission from your group in
the queue. |
| 3/7/01 |
We have prepared a
new Nachos release
for project phase 2. This is the same code as you already have, except
for the contents of the threads directory (which contains our
solution code which you are welcome to make use of). You are free to
use your own solution if you so desire.
If you wish to use our code, we suggest you do the following:
- Do cvs tag proj1-code in your current CVS tree, so you
have a way to refer to your original submission later on.
- Copy the files from threads/*.java in the new release
into your CVS tree.
- Do a cvs commit to commit the new code to CVS.
|
| 3/5/01 |
The spec for Project Phase 2
is now online. Soon we will also be releasing a new Nachos distribution
which includes a working solution to Phase 1, should you wish to build
on top of that (although it's not necessary).
|
| 2/28/01 |
Note: the final design for project 1 is due 24 hours after the code.
That is, if you turn in your code on time, it's due Friday at 11:59pm.
If you used a slip day on the project, you also get an extra day on
the design (as is only reasonable). Put your design in
proj1-design.ps, and run "submit proj1-final-design". Instructions for
generating PS are on the newsgroup. |
| 2/26/01 |
Important Nachos Bugfix The Nachos code has
been upgraded with two small bugfixes that you need to apply. Either
grab the new nachos-java.tar.gz
or apply this patch.
|
| 2/21/01 |

Homework assignment #1 (and the
solution) have been updated for
the Java version of Nachos. It is a very good idea for everyone to
understand this assignment; if you can't follow it, doing the project
is going to be difficult!

Please attend your new section next week!
|

Come to 380 Soda tomorrow (Friday, 1/26/2001)
at 1pm if you still need partners. We reserved a room just for people
to meet and find partners. We will also have more account forms there
then. |
| 1/24/01 |
The new deadline to fill out the
section assignment form is
Monday, January 29, at 12:00 noon. This form will
be available for you to fill out on Friday, January 26.
The reason for the delay is that we are still securing rooms and
times for the sections. Please fill out the form by Monday at noon;
we will assign your new sections by Monday afternoon and you will
attend your new sections next week!

There will be no discussion sections on Tuesday
January 16th, since the first lecture is not until Wednesday. |

CS 162 is, as usual, oversubscribed. The department policy is that
all appeals are handled by the division office. Details about the appeals
process will be provided in the first class. You must be on the Telebars
waitlist to be admitted to the class. |
| 1/14/01 |
Telebears section assignments are temporary, and will be used
only until project groups are formed. Once groups are formed, we will assign
students to discussion sections. All group members
must be in the
same section. |
