Fixed a problem in Homework 3 Problem 1 which made it unsolvable. The change was the value of signal A in cycle 2. It should be, and now is, blank. The assignment handout is the corrected one if it was formatted at or after 12:28 on 5 March. (See the upper right-hand side of the top of the assignment.) |

Linked recent lecture material to the lectures page. Some have had problems getting into the lab.

However, the card swipe isn't working and probably won't be fixed earlier than Monday. |

Our snowy adventure is over, class will be in-person on Friday (24 January 2025). |
|
21 January 2025, 14:46:26 CST
Class will be held via Zoom on Wednesday 22 January 2025 at the usual time. You should have already received a Zoom MID and passcode for the class. If not, E-mail me. We will polish up the string length routine, review miscellaneous MIPS features, and then perhaps look at a faster string copy routine that uses an invented MIPS instruction (actually stolen from RISC-V). See 2022 Homework 1. |
|
20 January 2025, 10:47:16 CST
It is likely that Wednesday's class will be conducted via Zoom. In preparation Zoom meeting IDs and passcodes will be E-mailed later today. To avoid the embarrassment of joining a Zoom meeting that everyone else knows was never scheduled or canceled check the Web site in advance. (Class will not be held, for example, if there are widespread blackouts.) WARNING: Ice can be very slippery! Even the young and in-shape can injure their backs and fracture their bones after a slip on an unexpectedly icy surface! |
