We will continue on Chapter 3 (from Section 3.3 Virtual Memory) and will keep going as far as possible.

For both courses, we plan to do reviews for the midterm exam problms. This means that you should be prepared for the materials covered by the midterm exam of each course.

OS Exercise 7

Today's problems (including extra credit problem) are posted on the Execise Page. Please start working from the 3rd period.

Tomorrow, we will only use std3 (lab for exercise class). In other words, we will not use M8 for the 3rd period.

LP: First Progress Report

The revised project reports from the following teams have been accepted:
Team 2 (Suzuki), Team 6 (Mizoi), Team 8 (Moriya), Team 13 (Narita)
If your teams' reports have not been accepted yet, please ask the team leaders whose reports have been accepted how yours are different from theirs. Otherwise, your team cannot proceed with the project.

LP Exercise 6

Today's problems are posted on the Execise Page.

Please, always think:

• you have to submit the exercise by 1440
• it takes some time to print and staple your exercise
• there's almost always a long queue for printer jobs, especially after 1430
• then when should you stop working ????

The length of the time to work for exercise is equal for everyone, it's up to you how to use it.

You don't have to use _subscript in the SSA form, just write a number next to the variable. That is, x₀ is good but not needed, x0 is enough.
