<h2>5/4/2016</h2> |
|
|
|
<ul> |
|
|
|
<li>Added the <kbd>-std=gnu89</kbd> flag to the dlc Makefile so that gcc 5 will correctly |

|
|
|
<ul> |
|
|
|
<li>Added a clarifying note to the main README file reminding |
|
|
|
instructors that, because there are different versions of dynamic libraries, |
|
|
|
Linux binaries such as dlc are not necessarily portable |
|
|
|
across different Linux platforms. |

|
<i>Thanks to Prof. Hugh Lauer, Worcester Polytechnic Institute</i> |

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Modified the "start" rule in Makefile to touch the log.txt file |
|
|
|
before starting up the lab daemons, so that an empty scoreboard is |
|
|
|
created initially. <i>Thanks to Prof. Godmar Back, Virginia Tech.</i> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
</ul> |
|

|
|
<h2>5/31/2011</h2> |
|
|
|
<ul> |
|
|
|
<li>For fun, we've added an optional user-level HTTP-based "Beat the |
|
|
|
Prof" contest that replaces the old email-based version. The new |
|
|
|
contest is very simple to run, is completely self-contained, |
|
|
|
and does not require root |
|
|
|
password. The only requirement is that you have a user account on a |
|
|
|
Linux machine with an IP address. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Corrected a few minor typos in various README files. |
|
|
|
</ul> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>1/2/2011</h2> |
|
|
|
<b>This is a major update of the Data Lab:</b> |
|
|
|
<ul> |
|
|
|
<li> Introduced floating-point puzzles. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Added many new integer puzzles (There are now 73 puzzles total). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Made significant improvements to <kbd>btest</kbd>. It now does |
|
|
|
millions of tests for each puzzle, checking wide swaths around Tmin, |
|
|
|
0, denorm-normalized boundary, and inf. Also added support for |
|
|
|
floating-point puzzles. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Added support for floating-point puzzles to <kbd>dlc</kbd>. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Added a new autograder called <kbd>driver.pl</kbd> that uses |
|
|
|
<kbd>dlc</kbd> and <kbd>btest</kbd> to check for correctness and |
|
|
|
conformance to the coding guidelines. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Top-level directory now conforms to the CS:APP convention of putting all source files in the ./src directory. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li> In <kbd>driver.pl</kbd>, replaced "the cp {f1,f2,..,fn} target" notation, |
|
|
|
which some shells don't handle, with the more portable "cp f1 f2 ... fn target" form. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li> The lab writeup is longer included in the |
|
|
|
<kbd>datalab-handout</kbd> directory, to allow instructors greater |
|
|
|
flexibility in distributing and updating the writeup while the lab is |
|
|
|
being offered. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
</ul> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>8/29/2003</h2> |
|
|
|
<ul> |
|
|
|
<li> Fixed a minor bug that caused <kbd>btest</kbd> to test the |
|
|
|
<kbd>tc2sm</kbd> puzzle with an input of <kbd>Tmin</kbd>, which isn't defined |
|
|
|
in sign-magnitude. |
|
|
|
</ul> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>1/27/2003</h2> |
|
|
|
<ul> |
|
|
|
<li> More operator-efficient solution to the <kbd>isPower2.c</kbd> |
|
|
|
puzzle. <i>Thanks to Al Davis, Univ of Utah.</i> |
|
|
|
<li> The <kbd>selections-all.c</kbd> file now lists all 41 puzzles. |
|
|
|
</ul> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>9/26/2002</h2> |
|
|
|
<ul> |
|
|
|
<li> Now includes a prebuilt Linux/IA32 binary for the <kbd>dlc</kbd> compiler. |
|
|
|
<li> Fixes a bug (an uninitialized stack variable) that |
|
|
|
caused "<kbd>dlc -Z</kbd>" to crash on some systems. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Contains some new scripts for running an interactive |
|
|
|
<a href="http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/academic/class/15213-f02/www/daemons/dlcontest.html">"Beat the Prof" contest </a>,<br> |
|
|
|
where students try to outperform the |
|
|
|
instructor's (intentionally non-optimal) solution. |
|
|
|
</ul> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>6/3/2002</h2> |
|
|
|
<ul> |
|
|
|
<li> Initial release. |
|
|
