- 12/09: Grace Hopper on Letterman: a seminal moment
Grace Hopper was a hugely pioneering figure in Computer Science. As a matter of education, she used to carry rods around to show people how fast computers are, something along the lines of, "This is how far light can get in the time that it takes a computer to execute an instruction" (and the rod was not very long!). It turns out that David Letterman, who was one of the all-time great TV hosts, interviewed Grace Hopper (!). Here is the clip, which is well worth watching. - 11/25: HW11 (last one) released
It is due on December 3, 2024, 11:59 PM. - 11/25: Wrong submission code on HW10
We made a mistake on the original submission code for HW10. The correct one on Gradescope is 4J462V. If you have submitted HW10 with submission code B2DEZW, please resubmit with the right one. The wrong one will direct to a different version of the class. - 11/18: HW10 released
It is due on November 26, 2024, 11:59 PM. - 11/18: Wrong submission code on HW9
We made a mistake on the original submission code for HW9. The correct one on Gradescope is 4J462V. If you have submitted HW9 with submission code B2DEZW, please resubmit with the right one. The wrong one will direct to a different version of the class. - HW9 modified: We have removed the question on mmap()
If you already did the question, that is fine. But if not, you do not need to do it, since we are not going to get to mmap(). - 11/13: Lab 5 released

We are having two make-up classes this week: These classes are just as required as the normal classes, and are assigned viewing for the next day. You have three choices for viewing. (1) Attend in-person, which requires signing up at the links above. (2) Attend by Zoom (via Brightspace). (3) Watch the Zoom recording (via Brightspace). Please do not attend in person unless you have signed up. If we have more signups than the room's capacity, I will run a lottery. - 10/31: HW8 updated
We removed a problem (on mmap) from HW8. We're planning to put it on a future homework. - 10/29: Midterm distribution posted

Do not exceed 1 inch margins, even if it means that you cannot fit 55 lines per side.
