LP Plans for next few weeks

This week, we will cover Sections 2.5 and 2.6 using slides "Lexical Analysis Wrapup" and finish Chapter 2. During the exercise class periods, you will discuss on project topic and the team leader will have to report the progress to the instructor during the second half of the exercise class (i.e. 3rd class period).

On Nov 8, we will study Chapter 5 "Intermediate Representations." The author of the textbook has not prepated the slides for this chapter yet. Therefore, we will use the last year's slides. Please note that the above URL can only be accessed from the u-aizu.ac.jp domain.

On Nov 15, we plan to have the midterm exam, which covers what we will have studied by Nov 8.

Program Overview and paper list

Course Project Team

Current Team list and procedure to make correction or late registraion are posted.

Project Team Registrarion Problems

As it was announced previously , project team registration was closed at 5pm last Friday. Unfortunately, there many students who did not take proper actions and they caused team registration problems:

• some team submitted registraion several times (some of them even changed the team member order for each registraion)
• sent registraion and request for team mate to wrong email address
• sent registration and/or request for finding team mate after the deadline
• requested me to find team mate(s) "IF he/she cannot find team mates by the deadline." However, he/she did not tell me whether the attempt was successful or not

All the team who cause these problems will receive -5pt penalty. you may also withdraw your team registraion, if you wish. In this case, please send email with "LP07 PROJECT REGISTRAION WITHDRAWAL" "OS07 PROJECT REGISTRAION WITHDRAWAL" as the subject to the instructor. The (probably) incomplete and incorrect team list will be posted on the course project page later this afternoon.

As a general advice, you have to read the instruction/information carefully and you have to act without delay (do not leave things until the deadline).

Project Team Registration will be closed today

Today at 5pm, we will close the team registraion and request for finding teammate for the courses projects. Arrangement for those who could not find teammates will be made and then the team list will be posted on the course project information page. Please note that the requeste for finding teammate must be submitted by email, even if you have talked to the instructor in person.

LP next week

Next week, we will continue on Chapter 2 and will use the lecture slides "RE to DFA: Thompson's Construction and the Subset Construction."

Use xpdf not acroread

To display and print out lecture slides for the LP class, please use xpdf (/usr/local/bin/xpdf) rather than acroread, since acroread does not use the proper font set and your will misunderstand the notation in the slides.

LP Exercise 2

Today's problems are posted on the Execise Page.

OS next week

Next week, we will continue on Chapter 2 from Section 2.2.3, "Implementing Threads in User Space.".

Textbook preparation

As repeatedly mentioned on this page as well as email messages and internal news group articles, textbook preparation is essential and mandatory. The following rules will be used for those who did not take actions for the textbook preparation:

• -5pt if you did not repond to the textbook purchase inquiry by the deadline (this only applies to the LP students)
• -5pt if you have already ordered your textbook (you must show the order confirmation to claim this), but have not received it on the first day of the class
• -10pt if you have not ordered your textbook by the first day of the class

(-5pt means "minus five points out of one hundred points of the total grade").
