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!)

Pintos : Series : Part3 : Project 1 : Alarm Clock

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...

When did you open your Facebook last time? Have you connected with other people on Linked In? If not then, you might have sent an email... What am I talking about? Image Source That's right! 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. Don't allow the user to do transactions. For example: news feeds, blogs, images etc. Web applications: Provide dynamic data. Interactive rather than just informative. Allow the user to do transactions. For example: bidding sites, on-line shopping sites, mailing sites, facebook, Twitter and Wikipedia etc. How do they work? On an abstract and simple level, The client(web browser...

John went to the cafeteria 10 times at 1:00 P.M. on 10 Fridays, each time the cafeteria was closed at that particular time. John decided not to go to cafe at 1:00 P.M. on Friday because the cafe will be closed.  But wait! How did John know that the cafe will  also be closed on next Friday at 1:00 P.M.??? Yes, you are absolutely right.  "John Learned from his Experience that the Task of going to the cafeteria at 1:00 P.M. on Fridays resulted in waste of time, since the cafe was closed on each Friday, so it will Perform the same on the next Friday." In the above scenario, John learned something so we can call it " John Learning ". Similarly, if we replace John with some sort of Machine, that can learn from the Experience or from the History about how the tasks were performed in the past given certain situation. Such that the Machine will perform the same if the same task happen again in near future. Then this will be called as Machine Learning. To mak...

There was a question related to <datalist>  regarding HTML 5. Question: Is it necessary to have <input> tag for  <datalist> usage or The search bar in the output is due to the <input> tag? Answer: Yes, the <input> tag is a must before <datalist> tag, this is because if you don't use <input> tag, then there will be no data list in the output. Reference code: (WITHOUT INPUT TAG) <!DOCTYPE html> <html><head><title></title></head> <body> <form action="" method="" > <datalist id= "list" > <option value= "a" > <option value= "b" > <option value= "c" > <option value= "d" > </datalist> </form> </body> </html> Output: Nothing in the output _ blank Do you see anything in the output ?

How to take notes in Freshman Year ?

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...

After So many programming languages both high level and low level, with different names like python, java, C++ and so on, here comes Julia   with all its colors... It first appeared 6 years ago in 2012, but was not stable at that time. The stable version of Julia has been released on 8th of August, 2018. Julia is a high level programming language, the pattern in which Julia's made is called Multi dispatch . Multi dispatch is the process in programming languages that allow the program to decide which polymorphic method or function needs to run at run time. Julia permits both functional and Object Oriented Programming. The file name extension for Julia is .jl  . Julia also provides the Language Shell where you can write code and see the output.  The good news about Julia is that it is very friendly language, it allows C and FORTRAN libraries to be used in it with just a keyword ccall   .   And more importantly, it can be used with all time favorit...

Mine your Data

Have you ever wonder what is growing with an increasing rate in the whole world ? Think, think... Yeah right Data is growing with each passing day. Data about what ? Data about each and everything, data about us, about our environment and about the whole air data is growing. I think when you even take a breath, this increases the data. You know what there is something called "Data lake". Now what to do with this data? Look when you have something really useful like Data, what would you do with that? Let me make it simple, if you used to buy ice-cream from one specific mart in Rs.100 and you got to know one more mart who is providing that same ice-cream in Rs.90, then you use to say wow, I can have that ice-cream by saving Rs.10. Now, how did you take that decision, on the basis of what thing?? Absolutely right!! DATA ! So on the basis of data we take decisions, on these decisions our whole life depends. You can ruin your whole life with just a single wrong decisi...
