PintOS : Series : Part 2

-

I hope you have installed PintOS.
Now it's time to move forward...
In the first assignment we need to check and pass first six test cases of alarm. These are as under:
  1. alarm-single
  2. alarm-multiple
  3. alarm-simultaneous
  4. alarm-priority
  5. alarm-negative
  6. alarm-zero
You will find them in "/tests/threads" directory. You need to make changes to "timer_sleep()" function in "timer.c" file under "devices" directory, to pass these tests.
But first you should start learning from : here
also I have a paper : here
After reading and understanding the reading material, you will be able to start coding! (exceptional cases are always there...)
I also need to read it first, so I will let you know more later (after understanding it fully..)
So, let's jump right into it (I mean let's start reading!)

How to take notes in Freshman Year ?

-
Image
Yes, you have to take notes in the university class!  Before talking about the notetaking strategy, we will understand the importance of taking notes. Importance Of Taking Notes No doubt there are a few students who can produce good results without even taking notes in the class. But their number is least. Most of us need to make good notes in the class especially when we are in university. Notes are important because: They help us to keep track of what we have studied in the whole semester. Notes help us to prepare for the exams, in a very short time. We can refer to our notes for short quizzes in the eleventh hour. In addition to reading and listening, writing notes increases the ability to memorize the important concepts. It helps you to realize that you have done something in the class. Now that we have understood Why to take notes? Let's dig into the notetaking strategy  Notes taking Strategies One of my friends Ramlah Aamir Aziz used to take...

Data Modeling

-
Image
source: https://searchdatamanagement.techtarget.com/definition/data-modeling A wise person once said a picture is worth a thousand words . In real-world data is not just a few rows of excel sheet, yet it comprises several billion rows expanded through hundreds  of tables. A table is usually made up of rows and columns. Each table represents an Entity . Entity means an Object or thing. That Entity has several properties called Attributes . Those attributes represent the qualities or characteristics of the entity. Since there is more than one entity, so there should be a Relationship between those entities. If we look at the tables we cannot get a clear idea of the relationship between several tables/Entities. Hence, we need to represent the tables/data in the form of a picture or a flow graph. That flow graph or Entity-Relationship diagram is called a Data Model .  Data Modeling is a technique to represent how the tables are related to each other and to represent the s...

Version Control Tools: SVN

-
Image
Someone once said:  The past cannot be changed, forgotten, edited, or erased. It can only be accepted . But then programming came into being and it stated that "you can change your past, but only the code past". Meaning; what you have coded earlier you can change, edit and improve it. And for that you need to have something like revision history, from where you can get the idea of what you have done (coded) in the past.  Questioning.. So how would you keep the history of your code? Would you make several copies after doing each and every change? Or will you opt for "control/command + z"? Obviously you don't go for such an inefficient way of controlling the version/history of your code while working on some large project. Answering... So here comes "version control systems". These systems/softwares are specially designed to help you in controlling the version of your project codes. They also enable you to share your code and collaborate...

Relational DB, ORM and ERP systems

When something is getting obsolete, we usually use to say it in Urdu as: Translation:That time has gone... With each passing second data is increasing and to make efficient use of that data we need to store it in some structured form. In past almost all the enterprises used to store data, in rows and columns on paper; like for attendance of staff members, there was a register in which name and corresponding status of attendance is marked. Bills, payment status, resource planning, human resource management, everything was (just) on papers. so yeah, that time has almost gone; when people used to store a lot of data on papers and in files.  Image Source But then technology grew up and paperwork is shifted on digital world. (But, there are still many companies relaying on paper work more than on computers!). So as mentioned above, the problem is; data is expanding. We need to deal with it, we need to manage it properly.  According to Quickbase article on datab...

Elasticsearch and Redis : NoSql

-
Image
The colorful  bubble logo  is of Elasticsearch , while the redish logo is of Redis . First let's talk about Elastic search.. Elasticsearch is an open source search engine. Now, what is a search engine? Search engine is basically a website, for example: google.com, yahoo.com, bing and MSN. What we look as Google chrome, Safari or Internet Explorer is basically a Web browser. Let's say we type "www.facebook.com" in a web browser's address bar , then the web browser will take us directly to the website "facebook.com". As for search engine, if we type in its search bar , "www.facebook.com", then it will open up different links according to the search algorithm. So Elasticsearch is like a search engine. But it is different from traditional search engines. Like in most of the search engines, tables are used to store data, while elasticsearch is no schema based search engine. In place of tables, JSON documents are used in Elasticsearch. I...

Shaping the career from the very start of your four-year degree program is very important.  Why shape your career from the very start? When you were a child, you were so energetic towards climbing walls, climbing trees, making mud houses, getting your clothes dirty with mud, spoiling the room walls with pencil, breaking toys and doing other mischievous stuff. And  then you get older and wiser. The point is that when you are at the start of your career then you could have a great margin for risk-taking and for trying out different things that you feel passionate about. And in case you get a failure, still you would have plenty of time to start again in a better and effective way. But this demands something beforehand, Prerequisites Attitude One thing that you will require is the attitude. The attitude of giving the right direction to yourself. And Be smart in your decisions. Believe in yourself You must believe in your abilities, your capabilities, an...
