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!)

Applications of Data Engineering

In a previous blog post about data engineering, we went through several many concepts related to data engineering such as data modeling, and then we went through different types of databases, for example, relational databases and we also got a glimpse of relational as well as NoSQL databases. And in today's blog post we will be writing about data engineer applications. Which are basically the use cases of data engineering 1st let's see what data engineering applications mean; so basically when we have data and we have engineered it then there are several things that we can do with that data and these things that we can do with processed data are the use cases of the data engineering. For example: If we have filled our containers with the data then it's not of any good use if it is not clean and well-formed. If your data is well-formed and if there are no logical mistakes, missing values, and garbage then we can easily perform the use cases and applications of data enginee...

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..

See The Pattern : Similarity

-
Image
There are a lot of challenges and issues that demand for similarity measures among the graphs or networks, with the increase in technology the social network is also increasing day by day, therefore there is a need for more speed and more security. When we look at the mutual friends on Facebook, when we browse the internet and find all the related material to our search, or when we go to the doctor for DNA tests, the doctor provides the similarity measures among us and our family members. We wonder that how Amazon, YouTube and other related sites are giving suggestions related to our query. So there comes the concept of Similarity among different things and making clusters of those things that are very much similar.  Network Similarity is a vast field, it enables us to accomplish several mining tasks like visualization, discontinuity detection and clustering. And this require algorithms,  Designing of an algorithm to solve any problem is a big task, after the desig...

Relational Data Model

In the previous blog post, we covered Data Modeling. We have seen that data modeling is really important before jumping into predictive modeling.  In this article, we will cover the Relational Data Model (RDM). Let's start from the very basics, relational means anything which is linked with some other thing. This link is called "Relationship". In RDM or RM there are major three types of relationship cardinalities (also called Multiplicities or Cardianalities): 1. One to one 2. One to many 3. Many to many We can understand these with the help of a few simple examples;  One to one: One department has one manager. One to many: One class has many students. Many to many: Many teachers can teach many students. Okay, so we have got an abstract overview of the term " Relational ", now the next thing is " Data ", data covers everything, anything... And finally, " Model " means something in the form of a template, design, a kind of blueprint.  To store...

Have you ever gone through the problem of version control while working on some coding project in a group? Did you find it difficult to share code with each member of a group? Yes? Then this blog post is for you... Problem.. Back in days, people used to write code but they found it difficult  to share and control the progress of their code in contact with each other. Say You are in Pakistan while your friend is in New York and both of you are working on some project involving coding and programming. With time to time you need to send some portion of your code to your friend to test it for further progress. After completion of your project you need to send the whole source code to your supervisor living in India. You are using email and Google drive for sending source codes, but this is not feasible but tedious as your friend need to download it then by modifying it on his own computer, send it back to you. This wastes a lot of time and is prone to errors.  Solutio...
