Grading Update 4: Course Grades ready. I'd like to thank everyone for their effort, especially those that worked extra hard. To see your letter grade, recorded homework grades, your average (all of this assuming you remember your alias), as well as a graph of the course average ranks with letter grade ranges shown, click here. Have a good break! |

Grading Update 3: Final Exam grades ready. The range was [93,14], with a median of 43.5 but an average of 48. Some did well, which is great. I'm frustrated about the other end of the scale. Suggestions are welcome. One alias did come true before the exam was graded. To see the prophetic alias and perhaps your own grade, click here. Course averages and grades will be available by Monday. |

The original testbench for Homework 6 underreports errors. To fix the problem change if ( !error_val_issued && sum != rsum )
begin to if ( !error_val_issued && sum !== rsum )
begin. For a correctly functioning module there
should be much more than 9999 correct values per pipeline length.

Provided more detail (and fixed a few typos) in the Homework 6 handout. Also, updated the synthesis script, syn.tcl. The updated script synthesizes at two delays, and the sizes have been changed. The problem can be solved using the old script, but those curious about the impact of changing the number of stages might prefer the new script since the pipeline lengths are all factors of the number of bits in the values to be added. Don't forget that the assignment is due Wednesday, 4 December 2019. |

Grading Update 2: Midterm Exam Grades Ready. The range was [13,97] with a median of 44. The good news for those below the median is that there is plenty of time before the final, and that the midterm grade will be forgotten if the final exam grade is better. No SQL injection attack needed (see the aliases). When you're ready for a non-Halloween scare, click here. |
