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!)

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...

If you are bored of your career choice, and you are thinking that you have made a wrong choice. And now you don't have any other choice but to pursue this career. Then this blog post is for you... Today I watched  a few Motivational videos by Qasim Ali Shah and Sandeep Maheshwari .  The lesson I learned from those videos can be applied in the lives of Software Engineering students or any other person's. Lesson: You have got this life and this is up to you, how you shape this. Currently you might not have any passion in your life. But your live's passion could be that you have to master each and every aspect of your life. Meaning that the things, the issues, a programming problem, a bug in the code, anything that encounters you in your life, you need to tackle with that professionally. See yourself as a Master Piece. Allah has created you, and you are a Master Piece, you are no less. If Software Engineering was once your passion and now you are no more pas...

Down below web engineering is explained by using a dialogue between Mr. X and Mr.Y : X:  hi, Mr. Y do you know what is a web? Y: The thing a spider made....  X: oh not that one, let me tell you that!  A web is a platform where people from this whole world are connected. Like you said a spider web, it also shows the connection by connected, fragile spider silk strands. Y: But, why people needs to connect? X: They are connected because Man is a social animal so are the humans. And they need each other. They cannot live alone. They are dependent on each other for their day to day tasks. Y: Tasks like? X: Tasks like, if you want to make coffee and you don't know how to make it, what would you do ? Y: I will Google it.. X:  So that Googling is what you do to accomplish the task of making coffee by using web.. Y: Alright, so what's web engineering? X:  Well, first understand what is engineering. Engineering is to ...

Good Pieces of Advice for Freshers

To let you know a few useful things, I asked some experienced people, and here is what they have for you... Be open to changes. Focus on improving your soft / people skills. It will be hard sometimes but believe in yourself. You have got it. ( Rahat-Undergraduate ) Try to do good in quizzes and OHTs (One hour test or mids) cause when finals don't go well, these can help in getting good gpa which are comparatively easy then finals. ( Ayesha Munir-Undergraduate )   A few years later when you would look back at this time, GPA won't make you happy, but the memories of these 4 years will. Your career is important but so is having a good time. So work hard, party harder! ( Haris-Undergraduate ) From the start try to build your connections with seniors because they know more than you and.. are best counselors.. Focus on your quizzes and assignments because they are the building blocks of your Grade.. Your Good Image play some important part for favoritism points in exam....

   Data is a new oil. To channelize this data we need proper pipelines. These pipelines are mostly called ETL or data pipelines.  There are various tools out there to work out these Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) operations.  Some of the scripting tools are:  - Python - SQL and NoSQL Apache provides a wide range of products that can be used as Data Engineering tools.  Some of the amazing apache DE services comprised of; - Hadoop - Spark - Kafka - Cassandra - Hive In addition, some cool DE tools are: - Tableau - Talend - MapReduce These DE tools provide a way to manage the data pipelines in a more effective, efficient, and better way.  Almost every Data-Oriented company in the corporate sector is highly dependent upon these technologies. They are leveraging many of the above-mentioned mechanisms for promising Data Services and Architecture. That's it for today. Hope you have enjoyed this article. If you want to know more about data or software relat...

Pintos : Series : Part3 : Project 1 : Alarm Clock

-
Image
The PintOS project has 27 test cases that we need to pass. In the first project we are just going for the five test cases related to alarm clock that are as under: alarm_multiple alarm_single alarm_simultaneous alarm_negative alarm_zero But before jumping into the code, let's first understand the basic structure of PintOS and how it runs. Consider the following diagram: Here QEMU is an emulator on which pintOS runs. Test cases are the processes that we run on the PintOS (Operating System). So we only need to modify the PintOS code, we are not allowed to make any change to the test cases code as this would be a cheating. When you open up the PintOS directory, in tests/threads/tests.c all the test cases are declared. And in the tests/threads/ directory you can observe files with the extension " .ck " and " .c ". So the " test_Name.c " files are the files in which test cases are defined, while " test_Name.ck " file...
