Items marked with the hash sign (#) will be activated during the course.
Questions?
Please read the specification carefully before asking
questions. If you believe that there is an error in the specification
or if it is incomplete or imprecise,
please email
cs9243@cse.unsw.edu.au.
Please refer to the Linux manual pages for details about the various
system calls and library functions, or consult the tutorial material on
the resources page.
Questions of general interest will not be answered individually,
but by email to the class list, on the forum, and/or an entry into the FAQ section of the
assignment. Please allow three working days for the processing of
assignment-related questions.
General Assignment Guidelines
- All assignment submissions must be coded in ANSI C or Erlang as determined
by the assignment specification.
- Submissions will be tested on our
vina cluster (hostnames
vina00 to vina19). Marks will be awarded on the
basis of performance on the vina cluster and no other
machines. The cluster runs Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 (kernel version
2.6.21.6-general) with gcc 4.2.3, glibc 2.7, and Erlang 5.6.3.
- All code must be well documented and structured; otherwise, penalties
will apply.
- The submission instructions for assignments (e.g., filenames, build
process, usage of executables, etc.) must be
exactly followed; otherwise, up to 10% of the full mark for that assignment may
be lost.
- The penalty for late submission of assignments is 6% of the maximum
possible mark per day of being late. (Note that this is deducted from the achieved mark, not the maximum achievable mark - see the course outline page for an example.)
- No assignment will be accepted later than
one week after the deadline.
- There are harsh penalties for plagiarism (e.g., copying and teamwork
outside of official assignment teams),
including 0FL for the whole course. Please see the course outline page
for details.
The above conditions are not negotiable. Deadline extensions
will only be granted in serious cases, where a fully documented
request for special consideration is lodged with UNSW Student Central (formerly NSQ) within 3 working days
of the incident (e.g., illness).
