→What is this course about?
In this course, you'll be working with open source software, since the source code for that software is readily available for you to examine, modify, and use. We'll specifically be working with software that runs on Linux on 64-bit ARM computers.
Specifically, you will:
* program in assembly language on at least two architectures
* understand the transformations that the compiler is applying to code
* dig into some large open-source software code bases
* collaborate with open source communities globally
This is a project-oriented course, and each semester is different. In Winter 2017 there will be a primary focus on optimization.
