A workaround to the Cadence problem (see prior entry) has been implemented. If you start Emacs after 17:37 today (Monday) you will have the workaround. I still don't know the root cause.

12 October 2020, 17:12:13 CDT
Due to an Cadence software installation problem (I assume) instantiations with mis-spelled module names, such as nnADD instead of nnAdd or nnMAD instead of nnMADD will result in the following error message:
ncelab: *F,DLPAKO: Unable to open packed library for sdilib (Permission denied).
The error message does not indicate which module causes the problem. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

11 October 2020, 15:46:15 CDT
Corrected a typo on the Homework 3 handout. Module nnOxI should instantiate no (not wo) nn1xI modules. Thanks to the student that found the typo.

Due to blackouts caused by Hurricane Delta the homework deadline has been extended by one day, to 13 October 2020 (late at night, or early the next morning).

10 October 2020, 12:22:48 CDT
Homework 3 hint: For help in understanding what is meant by the linear and tree structure to be selected by the tr parameter, look at the min_n (linear) and min_t (tree) minimum-of-n-inputs modules in the Generate/Elaborate demo slides.
