Instructions for Homework #4


  • Complete the HPCS Questionnaires and Study Logs.
    Please complete the HPCS background questionnaire. Although participation in the study is voluntary, please be candid in your responses as no course staff will see your answers, nor will it have any bearing on your grade.
    Also, as you do this current homework, please submit an Effort Log for approximately each day you work.

  • You should already have ~/cvs if you did hw1 or hw2 or hw3.

  • Import the hw4 tree into your cvs with the following:
    $ cd /cluster/home/cs240a/bin/hw4
    $ cvs -d ~/cvs import -m "Initial import" hw4 hw4 START
    $ cd ~
    $ cvs -d ~/cvs co hw4

  • This will initialize your hw4 cvs tree. Now, to compile and run, use:
    $ make mpi REASON={1-6} [WORK=n]
    $ make starp


  • To turnin your homework:
    $ make turnin
    You can do this multiple times. The last one only will be graded.

    These questions pertain to your experience on all four of the programming assignments in CS240A.
