Thanx to all who quickly responded with your candidate number - I still need the last few.

Regardless, already now, I can say that every one passed :-)

With at least a "C" :-) :-)

Sincerely, Eric

Dear All,

thanx to everyone who took the Oral Exam today - you all did good/fine.

To calculate your final grade, i need to have the grades for both HE1 and HE2 for you.

HOWEVER, there is a minor problem that I need your help to overcome:

We used to merely grade the home exams ourselves, but now we have to have you submit in Inspera.
That is good, because then we grade anonymously.
The grades for HE1 and, now also, HE2 are on Inspera.

However, that means that I CANNOT calculate your FINAL grade right now - because I do not know your candidate number in Inspera! Now that the grades HAVE been given for HE1 and HE2, there should not be a problem with letting me know your candidate number.

IF you send me the number, i can send you the grade.

Sincerely,
Eric

PS. I can see that EVERONE has passed :-)
 

The exam will be in Python, room 2269, at Ole Johan Dahl's Hus.

The schedule is given in the previous message.

-- Eric

Here is the schedule for the exam.

Please show up at the specified time AND beware that you COULD be asked to do your exam anytime after the "show up at" time - e.g., if there is a no-show.

-- Eric

For those that have not YET filled out the Doodle for the oral exam PLEASE do so by tomorrow, Sunday, 1pm CEST.

There were a couple of papers missing in the `Teaching Materials` tab, which I have now added.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Regarding exam question 4: From Niels Christian Juul's PhD thesis `juul_thesis.pdf`, read sections 1.3, 2.2 and 2.4 (you can skip the parts about reference counting).  Then, read the paper `copmrehensive_concurrent_robust_paper.pdf`. To test yourself, check that you understand the invariants in section 4.2 in the paper.

You can fill out this doodle:

where you can put your preferences for times for your oral exam.

Yes, for your first preference.

Use If-need-be to indicate a second level preferred time.

No, for I'd prefer not to.

Answer ASAP.

A student in the course has read the published work-around for call-by-visit carefully - and been puzzled by the name "caller" in the document. Five years after its original publication, I then discover that it should be "callee" instead!

I have revised the work-around for call-by-visit and it is now available in version 2, which has a better name for the variable!

In replying to a question about Oblig 2 via email, I stumbled upon a video about the NTP protocol. I think it is fairly good. Here is a link:

Hi guys, the exercises are cancelled next week as I am attending a course somewhere else on campus at the time.

I will still be checking discourse if you have any technical questions about the Oblig, and I will also try to reply to emails as often as possible.

Hi {^o^}!

It turns out that a couple of additional planet-lab machines have become avilable. So, I have added them to `good-nodes.txt` and installed Emerald. Let me know if you have any problems with them.

-- Joachim.

Oblig 2 uploaded.

Hope that you can find some PlanetLab machines!

Have fun!

-- Eric

There is a problem with call-by-move and call-by-visit in our Emerald installation.

Here is a description of a work-around.

Hi, I have created a topic called IN5570 in at discourse [1].
You can go there and ask questions (e.g about the oblig) if you have any. Please let me know if you do not have access.

Good morning.

• Eric has called in sick today, with flu-like symptoms and a fever.
• There will still be exercises, where you can get help with oblig 1, and `ssh`.

Have fun!
