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!)

   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...

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!

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....

I am talking about Web applications . Web applications are the applications that run over the web or an Internet. There are some differences between website and web applications. Difference between Websites and Web applications.. The main differences between websites and web applications are as under: Websites: Provide information as a static file. Not very much interactive.

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.

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...

You can ruin your whole life with just a single wrong decisi...
