* Blog about your [[SPO600 Code Review Lab|Code Review Lab (Lab 1)]] and [[SPO600 Compiled C Lab|Lab 2]] experience and results. For lab 2, considering consider the optimizations and transformations that the compiler performed. Remember that this post these posts (as all of your blog posts) will be marked both for communication (clarity, quality of writing (including grammar and spelling), formatting, use of links, completeness) and for content (lab completion and results). Your post posts should contain both factual results as well as your reflections on the meaning of those results, the experience of performing the lab, and what you have learned. == Week 3 == This week [[User:Chris Tyler|your professor]] is at [http://connect.linaro.org/sfo15/ Linaro Connect], an engineering conference run by [http://www.linaro.org Linaro] - a distributed not-for-profit collaborative technology company focused on Linux on ARM. * [[Fall 2015 SPO600 Compiler Options Presentation|Select and prepare to teach the class about two compiler options]]. === Week 3 Deliverables ===* Be prepared to give your [[Fall 2015 SPO600 Compiler Options Presentation|presentation]] on Tuesday of next week (September 29). == Week 4 == === Tuesday (Sep 29) ===* Presentations === Friday (Oct 2) ===* Presentations* Introduction to ARM64 hardware* [[SPO600 Algorithm Selection Lab|Algorithm Selection Lab (Lab 3)]] === Week 4 Deliverables ===* Blog your [[Fall 2015 SPO600 Compiler Options Presentation|presentation]], incorporating any feedback and Q&A input that was given during/after the presentation in class. == Week 5 == === Tuesday (Oct 6) ===* Class discussion/hacking on [[SPO600 Algorithm Selection Lab|Lab 3]]. === Friday (Oct 9) ===* More on Lab 3* Discussion of Benchmarking === Week 5 Deliverables ===* Blog your [[SPO600 Algorithm Selection Lab|Lab 3]] results. == Week 6 == === Tuesday (Oct 13) ===* Discussion of benchmarking** Control of variables*** Competition for system resources*** Repeatability* Planning for a Compiler Options Test Framework === Friday (Oct 16) ===* Compiler Options Framework** Divide up tasks** Start development === Week 6 Deliverables ===* Blog your recommendations for the test framework design.  == Week 7 == === Tuesday (Oct 20) ===* Build the [[SPO600 Framework Project|Compiler Options Test Framework]] === Friday (Oct 23) ===* Project selection** Your task over reading week: Become an expert in building your selected software, and then make it work with the [[SPO600 Framework Project|Compiler Options Test Framework]] === Week 7 Deliverables ===* Blog about the compiler options framework, and your work on that project.* Blog about your selected project. == Week 8 == === Tuesday (Nov 3) ===* No class scheduled - your [[User:Chris Tyler|prof]] is in Whitehorse, YK at an NSERC workshop.* Please work on your [[Fall 2015 SPO600 Course Project|project]], and be ready to present on Friday. === Friday (Nov 6) ===* Present your Stage I results for your [[Fall 2015 SPO600 Course Project|project]]. === Week 8 Deliverables === * Blog about your [[Fall 2015 SPO600 Course Project|stage I project results]].
