Spring 2006 Semester is Complete

Friday, May 5th, 02006

The Spring 2006 semester is finally complete. Wow -- that was a lot of work. Highlights:

  • Wrote non-trivial MPI codes and ran them with good results on big machines.
  • Wrote parallel Pthreads codes and ran them on shared memory SMP systems.
  • Wrote a number of Linux kernel modules.
  • Did a fair amount of systems programming in C.
  • Wrote a good number of reports.
  • Polished my MATLAB skills -- especially graphing (though I'd like to also explore GNUPlot some more as an alternative)
  • Became pretty proficient in LaTeX

In general, a very fruitful session this time. For reference, some of my output:
