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!)

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....

Variables:              Start with "$" sign e.g. $num=3;               ; is really important to put after every statement. Functions:              Functions start with the keyword "function". E.g. function power(){} Print:             echo "printing by using echo";             echo ("printing by using echo");             print "pri...

Applications of Data Engineering

Image
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...

Relational Data Model

Image
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...

I don't know what should be the title of this blog post, but let's call it " A survey of the final year university students ". Pretty long title, huh? Okay, let me tell you about this survey... The story behind this thing: Well, one day I thought about writing a post on Facebook to ask people about their sentiments and reviews regarding the final year of university life, then another thought knocked my head to write a full blog post on this topic. Then I disseminated a google form for this purpose. The google form was saying: "Hello, final semester people! I thought to collect reviews of 2020 graduates specifically of NUST and other IT universities. I am planning to add these to my blog post. Please take a few seconds to fill this form, thank you." So that was a brief story behind this whole thing, Now let's have a look at the most awaited questions and the corresponding responses...  Question#1:  Do you feel like a better hu...

(Click on The bulleted item, and you will get to the corresponding link) 1. Calculus: First, foremost and the dearest subject of students is "Calculus" , this will make you both cry and smile. So, if you want to do it well ,here are some videos: Professor Leonard:    www.youtube.com/user/professorleonard57/playlists I found it, really helpful 2. Applied Physics: Applied Physics abbreviated as "AP" is the second favorite subject of engineers at NUST (on a lighter note).  Michel van Biezen :  This is the physics vector playlist. You also can watch other AP related videos here: www.youtube.com/user/ilectureonline/playlists 3. Discrete Mathematics: I took this subject very light, but it isn't, so you need to pu...
