Lab 3

Hi again everyone, for this blog i will discuss Lab3 and how me and my team got it completed.

Lab 3 was multiple times more difficult than Lab 2 in my opinion. For this lab we had to choose and application to code. Out of all the applications my team chose to recreate pong using the 6502 emulator.

This lab took a while and was a great learning experience. It took everything we learned from the last lab and added onto it. This time we had to use a lot more logic. To start the assignment we were equipped with example code that was provided to us. Using the etch-a-sketch code we figured out how to receive user input which would be required for moving the pong paddle. The code also had coordinates at the bottom that allowed us to draw on the screen which was also very helpful.

Thanks to the user input code we were able to create the pong paddle, and by using a bit of logic we drew a pixel and made it bounce around the screen.

All in all it was a fairly difficult lab in my opinion, but it was something that ive never done before.  It was a fairly good learning experience.

Lab 4 - Continued

Hey everyone, this blog will talk breifly about what I learned during the lecture and my overall progress on the lab 4. On Friday during the Lecture we learned and talked about current architectures and the history of CPUs. Two architectures that stood out were ARM and x86_64. Regarding the Lab I'm currently still working on it. Im currently being swarmed by other assignments from other classes so unfortunately I've been ignoring this lab. Though it is close to being completed.

Lab 1

For this lab, we had to select to open source projects with different licensing. We then are required to explain how the open source project works, how code is submitted, and how it is reviewed. For this lab the two open source projects I have chosen are... 1. Open Office              The official Github for this project can be found here.              Apache open office is licensed under the Apache License v2.0. More information about              the license can be found here.               Since 2012, open office was created to compete against Microsoft and its suite of apps                    known as Microsoft office.

SPO PROJECT - STAGE 2

Hi everyone, for this blog I will talk about the second stage of the project, how it went and what I did. I've noticed that this class looks very difficult but when you do the actual work its extremely easy. For this Stage I had to do some profiling on the open source project i selected in Stage 1. The link to stage 1 can be found at the bottom of this post. Like the first stage i had to do this for the AArch64 and the x86_64 architectures. The first architecture i attempted this on was a x86_64 architecture and I was a bit confused. During stage 1 and 83mb file took around 4 minutes on average to compress. After trying again today it was taking over 8 minutes. I could not figure out why this was happening and I spent quite some time on it. Defeated, I decided to just use a 43mb file instead that ended up taking the amount of time I posted on stage 1.   X86_65 So after watching the helpful video that my professor posted on the CDOT wiki, I attempted to "profile"...
