Computing Facilities
The programming
assignments will make use of the CDF Unix facilities. Although you may
do your work on your home PC, all
projects should be uploaded and run on CDF machines in order to receive
credit for them !!!!!. You will be informed
of your account on CDF once it becomes available. Those unfamiliar with
CDF will find Student's Guide to CDF
to be useful. This guide is available in the bookstore and costs a couple
of dollars. There is also an excellent book on Unix (in case you need to
brush up on it), A Student's Guide to Unix
by Harvey Hahn.
The CDF workstations
are located in the Engineering Annex in EA107, EA201, and EA203. These
rooms are locked. The
combination changes at the beginning of every term. This term's combination
is 2,3-4,5. A file /local/doc/frequently.asked.questions
and a Web site http://www.cdf.toronto.edu/cdf/cdf.html
contain a variety
of useful information about working on the CDF Unix machines. You are asked
to read newsgroups ut.cdf.announce
and ut.cdf.general
which contain postings summarizing the more important rules about account
use and game playing. Finally, there is a limit to the free printing provided
by CDF: 300 sides per student per course. Since most of the information
for this course is going to be distributed electronically, you should use
your quota carefully. You are encouraged to read manuals and other large
volumes on-line, rather than printing them
out.
-
You are encouraged
to download and install your own copies of Scheme, ML and Prolog interpretors.
However, the programs you submit WILL BE
RUN ON CDF! This means
that you are responsible for making sure that your programs run on CDF.
